Job on Nal Hutta

OnACanonArticle

"No… Aro's been with me since the job on Nal Hutta. I know when he's in trouble."
―Coir Cion[2]

By 40 BBY,[1] a job was carried out on[2] the Hutt Space planet[3] Nal Hutta by the Devaronian Coir Cion, where he ended up encountering the Rodian criminal Aro who eventually remained beside Cion.[2] Between around 40 BBY and 32 BBY,[1] while on the moon of Dawk, Aro disappeared after being dispatched by Cion to eliminate whoever landed on the moon. Despite being comforted by others surrounding him, Coir Cion mentioned how Aro had been beside him since the job, furthermore specifying he understood when the Rodian was in danger. Shortly thereafter, Cion and the others came face to face with the Sith apprentice Darth Maul, who brought the severed head of Aro, before the Zabrak killed all present.[2]
