Lafete[5] was a desert world which was home to a number of factories on its surface[3] and the city Port of Lafete.[5] In 9 ABY,[6] the Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin and his ally Boba Fett visited a local diner, where the Mandalorian Nite Owls Bo-Katan Kryze and Koska Reeves were seated. While Djarin intended to recruit the pair to help him rescue his foundling Grogu from the Imperial Moff Gideon, Fett was skeptical about the two Nite Owls and exchanged insults with them. The argument then led to a brawl between Reeves and Fett until Kryze stopped them both, agreeing to help Djarin with his mission.[3]
The group convened aboard Fett's Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft,[3] Slave I,[7] outside of the diner to plan their mission with the rest of Djarin's allies and their prisoner, the Imperial Doctor Penn Pershing, before they departed to search for Gideon's light cruiser.[3]
