The bounty hunter Shenda Mol had a group of followers who operated on[1] the Mid Rim planet[3] Numidian Prime during the Republic Era. In this time, Mol carried out several violent endeavors across numerous planets, including sabotaging passenger ships, detonating explosives in crowded public areas, and setting loose a deadly virus.[1]
As a result,[1] around 66 BBY,[2] a Jedi strike team tracked the bounty hunter to Numidian Prime and arrested her followers. After the followers were taken into custody, Jedi Master Dooku and his Padawan, Qui-Gon Jinn, pursued Mol to her nearby hideout and successfully captured her. Afterward, she was imprisoned on[1] the Outer Rim planet[3] Stygeon Prime.[1]
