Rodians from the Bomu Clan stored tempest spice in a warehouse on the planet Makem Te for distribution on that world. After the Pantoran Jedi Knight Toro Irana died of mysterious circumstances on Makem Te, his Jedi Master, the Human Mander Zuma, investigated. His search led him to the warehouse, where he came under fire from Bomu Rodians and their Swokes Swokes lackeys. Zuma was joined by Reen Irana, sister of the deceased, and her friend, the Bothan Eddey Be'ray, who helped him escape the warehouse.
