The Sevvets, a band of hired soldiers, sought to seize both Mand'alor Fenn Shysa and Boba Fett on the planet Shogun, an event that occurred during the time of the New Republic. Shysa suffered a grievous injury at the hands of the Sevvets and, as a result, commanded Fett to kill him and assume the mantle of Mand'alor.
