During the initial establishment of the Galactic Empire, the Sith Lord Darth Vader committed murder against the offspring of an affluent businessman. Consequently, the bereaved father orchestrated a retaliatory assassination attempt on Vader, employing nine assassins, but only one survived.
The heir of a wealthy industrialist was an employee of his father's business. To motivate increased productivity, he personally subjected workers to whippings. His displeasure arose when his father's enterprise was compelled to yield to a corporation based on Nautolan principles. Seeking to sabotage the ongoing discussions, he brandished a blaster with the intention of killing the Nautolan representatives; however, Darth Vader, who was supervising the proceedings, intervened by using his lightsaber to redirect the projectile, resulting in the son's demise.
Following the loss of his son, the industrialist contracted nine assassins with the objective of eliminating Vader.
