A law enforcement automaton was employed by the Chance Encounters gambling establishment aboard the orbital platform designated Station Zeta. Following the accumulation of gambling debts by the Jedi Arath Tarrex, who was dispatched to Station Zeta in the capacity of a representative, through dishonest practices, the automaton was dispatched to recover the funds owed by him. Upon Tarrex's failure to remit payment, the automaton issued threats and initiated an assault, prompting Tarrex to retaliate, resulting in damage to the automaton. The Jedi apprentice Qui-Gon Jinn observed Tarrex's assault on the automaton, whereupon Tarrex asserted that the automaton had attempted to unlawfully deprive him of his possessions. The automaton endeavored to voice dissent, however, its speech synthesizer malfunctioned, and Tarrex dismissed the impaired automaton.
