―Viper 058-V-2353's report[1]

Roni was a farmer who lived on the planet Vassek. At some point by 3 ABY, a smuggler gave intel to the Galactic Empire that prompted the Imperials to send viper probe droid Viper 058-V-2353 to investigate the farmers in a local Vassek settlement. After the probe droid discovered Roni's intentions to steal Imperial generators, an agent of the Imperial Security Bureau arrested the farmer and two of their family members.

The farmer Roni lived on the planet Vassek during the Imperial Era with their family.[1] At some point by 3 ABY,[2] the farmer began making plans to steal generators from the Galactic Empire. Around that time, a smuggler learned some information about the anti-Imperial sentiment on Vassek. When the smuggler was captured by Imperials, they gave up the intel they knew, prompting the Empire to send Viper 058-V-2353—a viper probe droid—to investigate on Vassek.[1]

The droid monitored a Vassek settlement for six weeks, recording conversations between local farmers, including Roni. Viper 058-V-2353 discovered Roni's plans to steal from the Empire and reported them. Afterward, an agent of the Imperial Security Bureau was sent to Vassek and took Roni and two adult members of their family into custody. After the endeavor, the probe droid returned to the Empire's Derosha Six space station, and a report of its time on Vassek—including the discovery and subsequent capture of Roni—was stored on a datapad.[1]
