Yjal, a male Rattataki who operated as an arms dealer, existed in the era of the Galactic War. This war was fought between the Galactic Republic and the reconstituted Sith Empire. He was connected to Kaliyo Djannis and engaged her services to procure a larger inventory of weaponry for his business. However, her illicit activities led to significant financial setbacks and nearly resulted in his incarceration in prison. In response, he began a relentless pursuit of her, intending to either recover his lost wealth or kill her. Djannis, in an effort to safeguard herself, manipulated Imperial Intelligence into targeting Yjal, ultimately leading to his assassination by Cipher Nine.
