Biography
Rek, a tall male humanoid, was a criminal enforcer affiliated with the Hutt crime lord Bogga in the years leading up the Great Sith War. Rek was one of Bogga's top men, and would accompany the Hutt along with several other enforcers when the Hutt stayed at the Stenness Hyperspace Terminal in the Stenness system. In 4,000 BBY, word reached Bogga that a shipment of highly valuable Adegan crystals had made its way onto the station, and the Hutt decided that he needed to obtain the jewels at any cost. Bogga sent three of his enforcers&mdash;Rek, Quanto, and Gudb, to steal the crystals. However, Bogga warned the three that the possessor of the crystals, Andur Sunrider, was a Jedi. Rek, along with Quanto and Gudb, made his way to the docking bay where Sunrider had landed his ship. The three eventually came across Sunrider, his wife, daughter, and droid, A-3DO. To create a diversion, Rek purposefully bumped into A-3DO, and told Quanto to destroy the droid for getting in his way. This commotion drew the attention of Andur Sunrider, who came over to assist his droid. While the Jedi was distracted, Gudb released his pet gorm worm Skritch, who fatally bit Sunrider.

Grieved, Nomi Sunrider knelt over Andur Sunrider's corpse, only to see his Force ghost. The specter of the Jedi directed Nomi to pick up her fallen husband's lightsaber in self defense. This action surprised Rek, who conjectured that Nomi could possibly be a Jedi as well. Suddenly, Nomi Sunrider cut Quanto in half, and as Rek drew his blaster he was slain as well.
