Plu Markeela was a male Ithorian working as operations manager in the weapon storage asteroid Rothe Gate, in the Cularin system asteroid belt. In 32 BBY, this person was loyal to crimelord Nirama, while a faction of Nirama's criminal Organization known as The Cell was trying to oust him. The Cell decided to forge some proofs relating this person to themselves; this would force Nirama to replace a reliable employee.
