C. 529 BBY, Hugo Bartyn, an agent of Outer Rim Oreworks Company, was assigned as Administrator of the mines of the planet Lamaredd. Bartyn had noticed that Lamaredd was also rich in seafood, and he intended to build a fishing town from which he could export the delicacies without any interference from ORO. Initially, Bartyn forcefully recruited aliens from several amphibious species, including Chagrians, Iskalonians, Mon Calamaris and Quarrens, and forced them to live in that undersized area, in very poor living conditions.
