By 10 BBY, he was a veteran with the rank of lieutenant stationed on the planet Mimban, where the Galactic Empire was fighting the Mimbanese natives over mining the world’s heavy mineral deposits. After Major Staz perished during the fighting, Bolandin took over command of the 224th at Camp Forward.
