Orkle, a female human, served as the custodian for the Nexus. This city hovered above Quarmendy, a planet. After Wat Tambor, an Emir from the Confederacy of Independent Systems, seized the outpost, Orkle oversaw the evacuation of her people. However, she herself was captured by Tambor. During the Galactic Republic's mission to Quarmendy, Tambor, preferring destruction to capture, initiated the Nexus's self-destruction. Jedi General Plo Koon and Clone Commander CC-3636, known as "Wolffe," then rescued Orkle.
