His victories include the foiling of a terrorist attack on their planet, the Battle of Coruscant, and helping Luminara Unduli hold back droid forces above Geonosis. In 19 BBY, during the Clone Wars, he flew Cato Neimoidia to witness the clone troopers' training at a staging area, but he was unaware of what was happening in the skies of the planet. When Order 66 was executed, the clone troopers, led by Captain Jag, shot down General Plo Koon's starfighter, killing him. Koon's starfighter fell into the staging area and exploded, killing many clones. Juksua was struck by falling debris, and was severly wounded. Neimoidian doctors found the wounded pilot and rushed him to a nearby medical center. They did everything they could to revive him, but Juksua's wounds were unhealable, resulting in his death during the procedure.
