Salek Weet

Salek Weet was a friend of Noa Briqualon, and a fellow scout. When he was young, he spent years as a mid-level scout. Together, he and Noa had planned to "tear up the galaxy," as Noa put it, which was actually to chart the Moddell Sector together. However, on their very first voyage together, their ship crashed on the forest moon of Endor. Stranded on the Endor moon, they hid their cruiser, and worked on repairs. To make matters worse, the crystal that regulated the power on their ship was shattered in the crash. So, Salek and Noa agreed that Salek would go search for help, and a way to repair the cruiser, while Noa stayed behind. Salek, however, never returned, leaving Noa alone, after which he became a hermit.

After some exploring, Salek ran upon King Terak of the Sanyassan Marauders, who had also been stranded on the moon when their starcruiser crashed. Assuming that Salek had "the power," from his starship, Terak apparently interrogated Salek, and eventually killed him, after he offered no help. Noa, foolishly believing he would come back, set up a home in the middle of the forest, not far from an ewok village. There, he met Teek, an animal from a species of the same name. He apparently was stranded on the moon a long time and had grew older by the time Cindel Towani and Wicket W. Warrick arrived at his home, wishing to stay. One day, after following Noa to a curious place he goes everyday, they discover him working on a starship, deep in the forest. He eventually tells her the story of he and Salek, and how he wound up where he was. After Cindel is eventually kidnapped by Charal, Terak's servant, Noa, along with Wicket must journey to Terak's castle to rescue Cindel and the other ewoks restrained at the castle. At the castle is where Charal tells Cindel of the fact that Terak killed Salek, and she says the bare bones of Salek hanging from handcuuffs on the dungeon wall. When saved, Cindel tells Noa of what happened to Salek.

Off of the Endor moon, a four-year search for Salek and Noa had taken place, funded by his father, renowned kloo horn soloist Jimke Weet. The search was called off following the bankruptcy filing of his father. The last-known responder signal from Salek and Noa's ship was near the Monsua Nebula, an area known for pirate activity and other treacheries.

Jimke still expressed his hope of Salek's survival in a quote from the HoloNet, following the end of the search:


 * "I know that Salek is still alive somewhere," wept Jimke. "If anyone has any information, or any of my fans are willing to donate credits to the search, please contact the Salek-Come-Home HoloNet registry."
