Section
In 40 ABY, tensions between the Galactic Alliance and one of its member worlds, Corellia, began to spiral towards war. War finally broke out after once Corellian forces actively began trying to remove Galactic Alliance presence from their sector in the Battle of Tralus, bringing many Corellians on the Galactic Alliance capital of Coruscant together under an nationalist banner. Some time after the battle, the Elite Hotel of Coruscant's Galactic City was bombed, an attack credited to Corellian terrorist groups active on Coruscant. Realizing the need for action, a Jedi Knight named Jacen Solo, a colonel in the Galactic Alliance military, successfully lobbied Galactic Alliance Chief of State Cal Omas to establish a secret police force to counter the terrorist threat. The new organization was named the Galactic Alliance Guard, with its members hand-picked by Solo. Girdun, then a officer in the Galactic Alliance Intelligence, was one of those selected by Solo.

The Guard quickly went to work, arresting, detaining, and interrogating Corellian terrorist suspects. One such suspect was Ailyn Habuur, a bounty hunter who was arrested by a Guard unit on suspicion of terrorism, and was repeatedly tortured by the Guard. Girdun got into a heated argument with Guard captain Lon Shevu over the torture methods utilized by the Guard. Girdun, used to using more violent means of interrogating subjects, did not agree with the more passive treatment advocated by Shevu, and the two got into a heated discussion. Shevu stood firm, and Girdun eventually walked away, frustrated with Shevu's stubbornness. Shevu left the interrogation of Habuur to Girdun, a move that bewildered Jedi apprentice Ben Skywalker, who belived that Girdun was too cruel to be trusted with Habuur's treatment.
