Traeda held the rank of Grand Moff within the Imperial military. He harbored resentment towards Grand Admiral Rufaan Tigellinus, feeling envious of Tigellinus's rapid ascent.
Following the Battle of Yavin, Governor Weizel, a significant supporter of Traeda, switched allegiance to Tigellinus's group, causing a setback for Traeda. Concurrent with this event, Traeda, Tigellinus, and Moff Jaan were present at the New Year Fete Week, substituting for the Emperor who was occupied with matters in the Deep Core.
