| - Bakleeda was the assumed undercover name of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi when he traveled on a Jedi High Council-sanctioned mission to the "Smuggler's Moon" in 29 BBY to search for his Padawan, 13-year-old Anakin Skywalker. The boy had been kidnapped by the T'surr slave-pirate and crime-lord Krayn while he and his Master were attempting to escape Krayn's raider ship, which had attacked the Colicoid cargo ship they had been sent to escort and protect. "Bakleeda," accompanying his Colicoid employer-negotiators, traveled to the space station Rorak 5 to serve as a Colicoid advisor to Nor Fik, who was there to finalize negotiations with Krayn to take full control over the spice-trade operations within the Kessel system and at Nar Shaddaa in exchange for giving the slave-raider the Colicoid's sole contract of providing slave workers for both the Kessel mines and for his spice-processing factories, which "Bakleeda" had also come to inspect. Anakin, who'd already been consigned a life of servitude within Nar Shaddaa's spice-processing factories, was once again settling into the oppressive routine as a slave (comparatively, he considered his slave-life on Tatooine to have been a paradise), when the slave trader "Bakleeda" appeared on the "Smuggler's Moon" to rescue him.
