Commander Voldt was stationed on the Requital, an Interdictor cruiser, during the New Republic's withdrawal from Coruscant in 10 ABY. His duty involved capturing the numerous smaller vessels that managed to evade the Imperial blockade. While inspecting the Messenger, a ship belonging to the Core Courier Service, he found no immediate evidence linking it to the New Republic. However, he secretly placed a tracking device within the ship's cargo area. This beacon subsequently enabled an Imperial Carrack-class cruiser to disrupt a clandestine rendezvous between the Messenger's crew and Mara Jade. Ultimately, it guided the cruiser to the New Republic fleet's position, resulting in the cruiser's destruction before it could flee.
