The Soldiers constituted a specific social class within the Quesoth, an insectoid species originating from the planet named Quethold. These Soldiers possessed limited cognitive abilities and displayed unwavering allegiance to the Quesoth Queen. Communication between the Queen and the Soldiers occurred through the medium of Quesoth Soldier Speak, despite the Soldiers' physical inability to vocally produce this language. During the year 8 ABY, the Empire of the Hand initiated an attack directed at Quethold. Imperial military units subsequently encountered and engaged a substantial contingent of Soldiers in battle situated near the periphery of the Red City. A commander directed the actions of the Soldiers.
