Operation Duusha was organized by Imperial Remnant Moff Drikl Lecersen in an attempt to advance his conspiracy with Kuat Senator Haydnat Treen to take over control of the galaxy. Lecersen learned that Imperial Head of State Jagged Fel was going to dine with members of the Solo family at the Pangalactus restaurant on Coruscant. He enlisted Kester Tolann, a reactionary man who was strongly opposed to Fel, to attempt to assassinate Fel. However, Lecersen knew that the attempt would almost certainly fail, and thus orchestrated it in hopes of reducing public sentiment toward Fel and Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi Daala, helping to clear the way for his and Treen's rise to rulers of the galaxy.
