Xendek, a planet of blue hue, resided within the galaxy. A species of bird called the argora was native to this world. The inhabitants of Xendek, known as Xendekians, held the belief that the argora was the bringer of rain and bountiful harvests, attributing all positive events on the world to it. In an unfortunate turn of events, the Galactic Empire seized an argora, intending it for the Emperor's personal zoo. Subsequently, the group known as the Spectres launched an effort to rescue the captive bird.
