In the year 3 ABY, a reconnaissance member of the Dulok species, while observing the area, noticed Wicket Wystri Warrick, an Ewok, building a battle wagon within the forest that was situated close to Bright Tree Village found on the moon of Endor. This scout then relayed this information to Gorneesh, the king of his tribe, who resided at the Duloks' base of operations located in the Dulok Swamp. Because he was wary of the Ewok's undertaking, Gorneesh dispatched Umwak, the shaman of the tribe, to look into the matter.
