Geon Justic, a male Human, held the position of head of the Elesa Mining Union within the small mining town of Elesa, situated on Ando Prime. At this time, Justic maintained a professional association with Feena Ghel, a Rodian businesswoman who ran a local repair shop.
During Justic's tenure, Kaeline Ungasan initiated his project to create the Ungasan Cross Country podracing course. Ungasan, an operative of the Corporate Sector Authority and aspiring crime lord, planned to utilize the Cross Country as a façade for his illicit mining venture. He dispatched his subordinate, Ree, to Elesa to engage with Justic. Ree presented himself as the director of a zoological research team when interacting with the Elesa townsfolk.
At the Miner's Union Hall, Ree met with Justic and acquired specialized scanning equipment, using surplus items from the CSA provided by Ungasan. Even then, Justic suspected that Ree worked for the criminal Ungasan, but remained ignorant of Ungasan's connections with the CSA. Ree also induced Justic to maintain secrecy regarding their activities, along with Ungasan's, in return for a bribe. When Ree inquired about a nearby location, the Juaka Canyon, Justic deliberately omitted mentioning its dangerous Talid inhabitants, hoping that the Talids would eliminate Ree, thus freeing Justic from any commitment to assist.
Shortly thereafter, some unknown agents of Ungasan's rival Hutt crime syndicate arrived on Ando Prime in search of Ree and questioned Justic, as he was the last individual known to have spoken with Ree. Subsequently, Justic was interrogated by a Hutt hit squad led by bounty hunter Davon Gitta; by Ungasan himself, who was searching for his business associate; and by aggressive CSA agents who were tracking Ungasan. Justic directed all of them toward the Canyon, and then determined to temporarily depart from Elesa.
