Keeling, a Human male who served as an officer within the ranks of the reconstituted Sith Empire, was active during the era of the Cold War. His assignment in 3643 BBY placed him on Nar Shaddaa; there, after retrieving purloined intelligence reports bearing slicing signatures from the Republic Strategic Information Service, he dispatched an Imperial agent to obliterate the Republic's listening post, the source of intercepted Imperial transmissions.
