When first encountering the hostile Amanin after the Lurmen colony ship had landed on Maridun, Tub assisted Tee Watt Kaa in carrying out gifts to show their benevolent nature, to no avail. He managed to mimick the characteristic roll of the Amanin and escaped to the safety of the ship.
Tub was one of the colonists who survived the initial period of surviving on the planet, after blasting off in their escape pod and finding materials to build habitats, and lived in the Lurmen village for some time.
Witnessing the destruction of the new Separatist weapon, Tub sent his pet carrier butterfly to warn the village of the impending danger. Later, during the battle, Tub was one of the Lurmen that rose up and fought against the invaders, and ultimately survived the battle.
