During the quest to find Nok Drayen's hidden riches, Feylara Raed enticed a smuggler onto her starship, known as the Celestial Crow, with the intention to eliminate them. Her motivation was the hope that this act would convince her former flame, Skavak, the smuggler's adversary, to rekindle their relationship. In response to a fabricated plea for assistance, the smuggler, accompanied by a companion, boarded the Celestial Crow, and had to battle their way through numerous droids. Ultimately, they discovered Feylara secure behind a shield in the vessel's cargo hold.
In the year 3643 BBY, the infamous Skavak suffered a major blow to his ego when a smuggler captain reclaimed their stolen starship from him on Coruscant. This event ignited a fierce rivalry between the two, both of whom were determined to locate the treasure of the legendary crime lord Nok Drayen. Feylara Raed, previously romantically involved with Skavak, hatched a plan to win back his affections by murdering his rival.
Feylara transmitted a false distress signal to the Captain's vessel. The Captain, along with crewmates Bowdaar and Corso Riggs, received Feylara's message, in which she desperately requested aid. She explained that her starship, the Celestial Crow, was experiencing critical system failures, reporting that the engines had failed, the power cells were failing, and the life support systems were shutting down, causing the ship to drift perilously close to a sun.
