The Galactic Empire's Lord and Baron, Espis Zanchal, possessed a droid which served him at the Zanchal Estate located on the planet Coruscant. Sometime between 3 ABY and 4 ABY, the baron's name appeared on a roster of Crimson Dawn criminal syndicate members, which caused the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader to dispatch his crew of assassins with orders to eliminate him.
Once the assassins appeared and informed Zanchal about his alleged connection to Crimson Dawn, the baron asserted that he had no affiliation with the syndicate. The Imperial lord then commanded his droid to grant them entry to every chamber within the Zanchal Estate, including one housing a narglatch cat, inside which were cages holding its food, consisting of people. Ankala Sahm, the leader of the attacking force, noticed the caged individuals and initiated a battle with the baron's security personnel, which ultimately led to Zanchal's death. Soon afterward, the lord's droid assisted the assassin Gee-Ninety in gaining access to the Zanchal Estate's records, which verified that its owner was not a Crimson Dawn member.
