On the run from the newly-created Galactic Empire, Kedorzhan Senator Dewell Bronk is a passenger on a starship leaving the Core Worlds. Aboard the ship, Bronk witnesses a pair of Devaronian youths harassing and attempting to rob an elderly Twi'lek woman. Desiring to speaks up to stop them, the senator only manages a whisper because drawing attention to himself could blow his cover. The Devaronians continue harassing the Twi'lek until they are stopped by an individual Bronk terms the Young Father. The human male carrying an infant suggests to the youths that they do not want to bother the Twi'lek. To Bronk's surprise, the thugs readily agree and depart. After the situation is diffused, Bronk chats briefly with the human, informing him that the baby is likely crying due to hunger.
