Plu Markeela, an Ithorian male, held the position of operations manager at Rothe Gate, a weapon storage asteroid situated within the Cularin asteroid belt.
Back in 32 BBY, he demonstrated allegiance to the crimelord Nirama, at a time when The Cell, a segment of Nirama's criminal Organization, was attempting to overthrow him. In an effort to compel Nirama to dismiss a trustworthy worker, The Cell resolved to fabricate evidence linking Markeela to their group.
Cyria Dombasle, Maarten Haal, and Gal O'Wei, who were also devoted employees at Rothe Gate, were implicated in The Cell's strategy. The operation was initiated when all four individuals were away from Rothe Gate. Ultimately, the plan was unsuccessful, as Nirama triumphed over the Cell's leaders and maintained unwavering confidence in his employees' loyalty.
