Diergu-Rea Duhnes'rd

Diergu-Rea Duhnes'rd was a Weequay bounty hunter and the mate of Solum'ke. A practical man and something of a pessimist, Duhnes'rd was somewhat reluctant, while on vacation on Zelos II in 4 ABY, to participate in a treasure hunt that his mate had thought would be wonderful fun. Accompanied by K'zk and the rest of his Qwohog crew, the two rented a sail barge to cross the Great Zelosi Sea to a massive coral outcropping named Zelosian's Chine, where it was alleged that a great treasure of crystals and jewelry was hidden in caves normally covered by the ocean's surface. During the Day of the Sepulchral Night the planet's fourth moon would eclipse, causing the sea's tides to receed far enough to expose the caves where the treasure was supposedly hidden.

Along the way the crew encountered the wreck of a smaller, sportier version of their aquatic repulsorlift craft and rescued the only two survivors, a pair of Corellians named Hanugar and Sevik, who agreed to provide transport offworld in exchange for rescue. Once the party made it to the Chine, the Weequay and Sevik debarked in a three-person repulsor raft while Hanugar took a one-man skiff. Taking his mate and the younger Corellian to a cave that he thought more likely to contain the lost treasure, Duhnes'rd led them inside, and sure enough, they found vast quantities of crystals and jewelry.

As the water started to surge in the wake of the waning eclipse, the three had to hurry out of the cave and back to their ship. However, it turned out that the Qwohog and the Corellians had been plotting this from the start, and betrayed Duhnes'rd and his mate, seemingly leaving them with nothing but a damaged skiff whoes repulsorlift had been knocked out by an impact with a coral outcropping. All was not lost, though, as the bounty hunter had managed to fill his own pockets with wealth and had slipped a necklace of green crystals onto Solum'ke's neck. Resolving to track down their betrayers, the pair waited for another ship to come along and rescue them.
