A hater of the Empire
"This has been explained. The Empire requires this location for a relay facility. It is ideally situated. You will all be compensated for the inconvenience" "Inconvenience? These are the only homes we've ever known. Where are we supposed to go?" "Somewhere else"

- A man protests to the clones as Orveks home is bulldozed by the Empire

Shortly after the founding of the Galactic Empire, Orvek's home was bulldozed for an Imperial relay facility. One of the citizens protested to the clone troopers but they pointed their guns at them and Orvek was forced to leave. Sometime later Orvek met Ferren Barr, an Iktotchi Jedi Padawan who claimed to be a Jedi Master. Barr convinced Orvek into joining him using a Jedi mind trick and Orvek subsequently became one of Barr's six acolytes.

On Mon Cala
Barr took Orvek and the other acolytes to Mon Cala, where Barr came to influence the King in his negotiations with the Empire. The king's way of negotiating caught the attention of the Emperor who sent Darth Vader, three inquisitors and a squad of elite aquatic clone troopers. When Barr assassinated Ambassador Telvar, the man's superior, Moff Wilhuff Tarkin, sent forces down to invade Mon Cala.

Many battles broke out and Vader obtained the location of Barr and his acolytes. The king told Barr that Vader was coming and Barr ordered the evacuation of his refuge. However when leaving the refuge, the acolytes ran into Vader on his Imperial submarine. One of the other acolytes, Nipaltoo shot at Vader's submarine and Vader crushed his helmet. The others fled for Bel City and Orvek realised Vader was catching up. Orvek turned round and attacked Vader's submarine head on. Orvek was killed but he slowed Vader down enough for the others to make it to Bel City.
