Tok, a human governor in the service of the Galactic Republic during its reign, was secretly an operative working for Count Dooku. He orchestrated a ceremony at the Regional Republic Headquarters located on Jaloria, seemingly to promote a peace treaty between the Anselmi and Nautolan species from the planet Glee Anselm. Present were representatives of both the Anselmi and Nautolan people. Tok's true intention, following Dooku's directives, was to sabotage the peace process and reignite the war to further strain the Republic's resources. During the ceremony, the governor revealed the Hope of Glee Anselm, a significant relic for both cultures. A group of thieves then disrupted the proceedings, stealing the artifact. Subsequently, Tok employed the services of bounty hunter Jango Fett, contacting him through the droid Y3-99, tasking him with locating the thieves and retrieving the Hope of Glee Anselm.
