A male Maladian commander dealt with Sate Pestage as the latter attempted to kill off Vidar Kim. The commander, embarrassed by how Kim's assassination was carried out, told Pestage he wanted to make it up to him through another more skillful Maladian attack, but against who was was left ambiguous to Pestage. Pestage made a rush to Senator Palpatine, fearing the Maladian's were attacking him, and was in relief to realize they hadn't. However, Palpatine was suspicious as the Gran Protectorate had just tried to kill him, so he reached out in the Force and realized that Magister Hego Damask, secretly the Sith Lord Darth Plagueis, was the target of the Maladian assassins, who had accepted a contract by the Gran Protectorate to kill Damask.
