Thula, a gifted con artist and smuggler, worked alongside the Umbaran Squa Tront for Black Sun operative Kaird. Their mission involved penetrating the transmission network and pilfering the Bota. Subsequently, they were tasked with encasing the stolen item in carbonite and dispatching it to Kaird, thus transferring ownership to Black Sun. However, defying the scheme devised by the Nediji, Thula and Squa double-crossed Kaird, packing the carbonite container with explosives. Kaird barely avoided being killed and swore vengeance, but Thula and Squa had already made their escape.
