Leia Organa, representing the Alliance to Restore the Republic, held a meeting with Govi and a fellow Ishi Tib leader in an attempt to bring the world into their alliance. The discussions between Govi, the other official, and Organa were cut short when stormtroopers launched an assault on the three individuals who accompanied Organa.
