A heist was carried out by the Spice Runners of Kijimi on the planet Guat'a, whose goal was to steal the star maps known as the Letters of Where and When from the warlord Smaatku. A cell of the Spice Runners, led by Tomasso, sent operatives Zorii Bliss and Poe Dameron to retrieve the maps. They were pursued by Smaatku and his guards, who were killed when Tomasso hit them with the blaster cannons of the freighter Vondel. Following the heist, the Osako pirates pursued the Spice Runners through the nearby Torch Nebula, having been approached by Kes Dameron, Poe's father, to track down his son.[1]

- ↑ Poe Dameron: Free Fall establishes that the heist on Guat'a takes place almost a year after Poe Dameron joins the Spice Runners of Kijimi. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary states that Dameron joined the Spice Runners sixteen years before the Starkiller Incident, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 34 ABY. Dameron must have therefore joined the Spice Runners in 18 ABY, and the heist must have occurred sometime around 19 ABY.
