The clash that occurred at Ankot Station unfolded after Alfris Sotin, a smuggler, offered an agreement to the Spice Runners of Kijimi, only to subsequently double-cross them by informing the Guavian Death Gang. A division of the Spice Runners, headed by Tomasso, dispatched Zorii Bliss alongside Poe Dameron to Ankot Station for a rendezvous with Sotin, where they were ambushed by Guavian soldiers. Bliss and Dameron successfully made their getaway, while also liberating multiple slaves that Sotin held captive on his freighter, known as the Vondel.
