Ytram, a pirate, sailed with the Red Fury Brotherhood, a group of pirates who operated within the Cularin system in the time preceding the Clone Wars.
The annual Festival in Tolea Biqua, located close to the pirate's asteroid base at L-7, was a favorite among most members of the Brotherhood, including their captain. Typically, the pirates largely enjoyed the celebration. However, in 31 BBY, Ytram, along with fellow pirates Triven and Naand, received orders to stay at L-7 during the Festival, forming a minimal crew, which displeased them greatly.
While on duty, a raiding party neared L-7, posing as messengers. Because he was bored and sought to boost morale—primarily his own—Ytram attempted to ridicule them both via the communicator and after their arrival.
