An Imperial garrison was stationed on the planet of Skako Minor. Jul Tambor's efforts to win back the planet from the Skakoan Council, who were allied with the Galactic Empire, were thwarted when Imperial Lieutenant Commander Sabé shot him on Brentaal IV. Her actions were motivated by a desire to stop him from launching an assault on the garrison; she knew such an attack would trigger a deadly response from the Sith Lord Darth Vader, who would kill all of Tambor's followers as punishment.
