After Order 66, Jedi Master Ashiak Knowlian, his Padawan, Garth, his ten–year old son, Kiie, and two of his son's friends and fellow younglings' ship crashed on Showlgowl after being attacked by a squadron of clone troopers. While Ashiak left to scout the planet, Garth was ordered to stay at the ship and watch the younglings. Ashiak found a Mandalorian War–era Republic outpost scheduled for demolition.
