During the time leading up to or encompassing 10 BBY, Tobias Beckett, along with his crew, dedicated multiple weeks to the illicit acquisition of Imperial supply transports within the Berullian operational zone. This activity prompted three separate Imperial counselors to implore the Galactic Emperor to send Grand General Ormeddon to address the problem. Ironically, this deployment created an opportunity for Beckett's group to commandeer Ormeddon's personal transport and gain unauthorized access to Foundry, ultimately succeeding in the theft of prototype deflector shield technology.
