Koon Odan, a Zabrak female, was employed by the government of Iridon.
As a result of a commercial dispute that erupted between Iridonia and Duro, Odan's assignment was to travel to Cloud City, situated on the planet Bespin, with the purpose of brokering a treaty with Belai Kaleeg, a corporate representative of the Duros. Unbeknownst to Odan, the Iridonian authorities dispatched an assassin to Bespin as well, with instructions to eliminate Kaleeg and thereby obstruct the treaty's ratification. However, after the assassination attempt proved unsuccessful, the assassin received a revised directive: to eliminate Odan instead.
