These three individuals were assigned to supervise the development of a biological warfare weapon intended to target the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic. A mission to the planet Merj was initiated by Galactic Republic Lieutenant Commander Orson Krennic with the aim of apprehending the scientists for use in a prisoner exchange that would occur on Vallt. As part of this endeavor, Pakota, along with Torr, was captured and subsequently transported to Vallt, where they were swapped for Galen Erso and his family.
