During the era of the Clone Wars, Alto Stratus, the Spokesbeing of the Jabiimite people, orchestrated a political coup. He commanded the Jabiimi Nationalists in their revolt against the established Jabiim Congress governing the Outer Rim planet of Jabiim. Stratus deployed his Nimbus commandos to assassinate prominent figures within the Jabiim Congress. Subsequently, he leveraged his power to forge an alliance between Jabiim and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Some Jabiimi Loyalists, such as Captain Orliss Gillmunn, successfully evaded the widespread elimination. Gillmunn had been the sole source of resistance to Stratus's actions until the arrival of the Jedi during the Battle of Jabiim.
