Mawdo Larrth, an Ithorian, held ownership of Cladtech, a manufacturing plant located on Gilvaanen in the Inner Rim. This factory was responsible for producing parts for stormtrooper armor throughout the time of the Imperial Era. Larrth secretly worked alongside Thetis Quelton to intentionally slow down the production of stormtrooper armor by instigating worker strikes. This prompted a visit to Gilvaanen by Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin alongside the efficiency specialist Count Denetrius Vidian to conduct an inquiry. Following Larrth's orchestration of an unauthorized gathering of managers, Vidian identified him as the primary instigator of the strikes and executed him. Subsequently, the remaining Ithorian managers were commanded to fulfill the Galactic Empire's production quotas, with death serving as the consequence for failure.
