It transpired that Sh'mukk was making illegal use of Imperial resources for a project nicknamed the 'Compensator', an extremely long Star Destroyer. Sh'mukk was arrested by Tralen but managed to slip from his grasp, and ended up attempting to murder them with a commandeered AT-AT. Nevertheless, thanks to Tribuni's manipulation of the ship's artificial gravity, Tralen was able to overcome Sh'mukk, who was sent to Zarkham Asylum on Nal Hutta.
