During the Separatist Crisis in 22 BBY , a cyborg slicer team funded by shadowy parties worked in a secret compound located on a remote asteroid named Yirt - 4138 - Grek - 12 in the Fakir sector , which was controlled by the Corporate Alliance , one of the many commerce guilds . In the compound , the team trained espionage agents , supplying them by building starships for them and performing cybernetic surgeries on them to aid in their theft of valuable data from the data stores of the Corporate Alliance . However , one of the facility ' s agents , Denlace Sachoore — who had received a cranium - implanted vessel drive through surgery — was caught embezzling Alliance data in the vessel drive while working as a clerk for the Alliance .

The structure was breached and de - pressurized , and twenty - five cyborgs perished inside it . Their deaths were later reported in Magistrate Argente ' s holomessage to shareholders of the Alliance , and in an article of HoloNet News . Organization .
