The band of criminals known as the Rhokai gang operated as a thieving organization in the period that immediately followed the establishment of the Galactic Empire. At one point, the Rhokai pilfered a reptile, but subsequently, the Bad Batch, a squad of ex-clone commandos in the employ of the tipster Ciddarin Scaleback, stole the lizard from them; Scaleback's patron desired the reptile. The clone troopers managed to retrieve the lizard from the Rhokai, who dispatched three starships to chase their vehicle, the Marauder, across the galaxy. Following a short battle between the Rhokai's starfighters and the Marauder as the clones worked to activate their faster-than-light engine, the Bad Batch successfully fled into another dimension.
