At this time, their post was located within the Grand Hall of the royal palace on that world. In 40 BBY, this officer established contact with the Jedi Council following a request from Rael Averross, the Jedi lord regent of Pijal, whose aim was to obtain assistance from the Jedi Order to manage the various upheavals occurring throughout the Pijal system as a result of the impending signing of the Governance Treaty.
