Spitar P'ton was an officer in the Imperial Navy. The admiral discovered the planet Kubindi when the hyperdrive of his ship broke down in the system. While his crew fixed the ion flux stabilizer, P'ton explored the planet and went to a Kubaz restaurant. A man of exotic tastes, the insectoid food appealed to him, and he "hired" Kubaz chef Kalro Mear and a dozen assistants.
