Around 20 BBY, Suum was employed as a droid programmer for the SoroSuub Corporation. His base of operations was a SoroSuub office situated in the city of Gadrin. During the Clone Wars, he engineered the MMR-9 recovery droid, which SoroSuub intended to utilize for retrieving materials from the abandoned city of Nub Saar on Genarius. The Fireclaw Horde, a criminal syndicate comprised of Togorians, raided the SoroSuub office. Their objective was to create modified versions of the MMR-9 for the purpose of hijacking starships. Suum was on an unsanctioned lunch break when the Togorians initiated their assault. Upon his return to the office, he witnessed their raid and escaped before they could apprehend him. Subsequently, the Togorians made attempts to abduct Suum.
Not long after, Suum was the operator of SoroSuub's entry in the Cularin Classic swoop race, which was an automated XB-01 Speeder Bike.
