Hesk Beldross, a Thaereian investor in the era of the Galactic Republic, possessed the droid known as LN-73. This investor dispatched LN-73 to the moon called [Uffel], with instructions to acquire some droids. Unfortunately, LN-73 found itself marooned in the moon's orbit. More than half a century passed, and around 32 BBY, a debris storm dislodged the droid, causing it to fall onto Uffel. Immediately upon landing, the droid started its mission to carry out Beldross's directive, endeavoring to seize control of the droid manufacturing facilities located on Uffel.
