Ranos Yalli, a Nautolan of the male persuasion, engaged in an smuggling endeavor following the conclusion of the Clone Wars. This operation, involving the transportation of Separatist armaments to Samovar, was conducted alongside a band of smugglers helmed by Saw Gerrera, the figure who would eventually be known as the leader of the Partisans. Post-operation, the collective decided to disband and disperse, aiming to prevent future interactions.
