== Gratha and Israel ==
Auler served as the Captain of the Persecutor which was of a few if not the only Imperial Class Star Destroyer present at the battle. Due to its size, the Persecutor was targeted as it was believed to be the Secondary Command Ship. As the Persecutor began crashing towards the surface of Gratha, Auler ordered the ship abandoned and escaped along with many of his surviving crewmembers. His escape pod was picked up by a passing that was part of the Israel Defense Force's contribution to the Earth Fleet. After Death Star IV was destroyed by Jedi Master and United States Marine Bryan Khayman, Auler was transported to Israel as a prisoner and subjected to interrogation by agents of Mossad.
His interrogations were eventually taken over by then-Deputy Director Eli David and his daughter Ziva sat in on one of them. While Auler supplied some information, he mostly attempted to annoy David into torturing him and ordering his execution knowing his value to the United States as a high-ranking member of the Imperial Navy. David did however confirm one piece of information given to him by Auler, that Death Star IV was ordered to fire on Gratha if the station's deflector shield were to be lost. Eventually, Auler was handed over to the Americans and after some more questioning was released from custody.

In Late 2031 an that was recovered from the Persecutor's wreckage was found in a Philadelphia pawn shop by Remnant Majors Christopher Felth and Jason Oliver. Chris wanting to know how the weapon made it from Gratha to Philadelphia begins looking into the fate of Auler finding that Auler had been in the custody of Mossad and nothing beyond that with General Typher Marlion suggesting that Deputy Director David had Auler executed based on what the Remnant knew about David through Andros Khayman. Following a request for all records regarding Imperial prisoners captured by Israel from the Battle of Gratha filed by President Ezra Bridger, the video of Auler's interrogations by the Davids surfaced which also led to the belief that Auler had been given a Dishonorable Discharge for making remarks about the possibility of The Empire attacking Israel as well as remarks about and which resulted in him being beaten by Ziva at her father's request with the only instructions being to not strike Auler's head. Eli also told Auler that he admired the fact that Auler had stated those things to Eli's face instead of behind his back.
In the Fall of 2032, Auler was located in a chance encounter at a bakery with Jedi Knight Milo Jacobs who reached out to Andros' son Troy Khayman who informed Marlion's staff of the discovery and sent T.K. Johnson to meet with Jacobs and Auler and bring them to Philadelphia. Upon arriving in Philadelphia and after introductions were made, Auler explained that he had in fact retired in 2016 and that his comments to David were meant to provoke the then-Mossad Deputy Director in a manner he compared to before mentioning that he worked for American Spaceways and was well aware of Galactic events including the Attack on Flight 154 and the activities of the Varox in the Triforia System. While Jason Oliver tended to his friends, Auler was shown around the Remnant's facility by Lucy Carpenter and Christopher Felth where he snapped at a drunk driver that had been arrested earlier in the day by Chris and Eric Schuyler to shut up in German.
