Nathanjo Nirrelz was a male Gotal who worked for the government of Antar 4. In 22 BBY, he was sent as an emissary to the neighboring planet of Atzerri to secure bacta for his homeworld. However, Nirrelz was kidnapped and held hostage in a commuter hopper by the Roshu Sune, a militant terrorist group that intended to use him as leverage in a bid to convince Antar 4 to secede from the Galactic Republic. The Republic sent a Jedi task force to Atzerri in response, which negotiated with the Roshu Sune for a week before the terrorists began to open fire on their hostages. The Jedi stormed the hopper and rescued several of the captives, including an unharmed Nirrelz.
