Kul Teska was a Skakoan mercenary during the Clone Wars, who was hired by the Sith Lord Count Dooku in order to destroy Naboo's sun. Although these claims were theorical, Obi-Wan Kenobi was going to meet with Senator Padmé Amidala when he arrived at the space station, Juma-9. There, he met Plo Koon and the two felt a dark presence. After destroying a portion of the invading droids, Kenobi ordered Cody and the crew to evacuate. Kenobi and Koon reached the bridge to find Teska talking to Dooku, but Teska shut the transmission and escaped with the Jedi following.
