Biography[]
Attacked[]
By 4 BBY, Neek had joined the Maya Pei Brigade to fight against the Galactic Empire. In 4 BBY, the brigade was attacked and Neek was apart of a group of at least sixteen members of the brigade that survived the attack and escaped aboard a starship that landed on Yavin 4. However one member of the group subsequently departed in the ship leaving Neek and the rest of the group stranded on the moon. The group later encountered and killed an individual named Porko that they found near a clearing with a damaged Breon HOY-39.[1]
Stranded[]
Two days after being stranded on the moon, Porko's companion, a man named Cassian Andor, landed near the HOY-39 in a stolen TIE Avenger. As Andor approached the HOY-39 calling out for Porko the brigade members revealed their presence and took Andor prisoner. As two members of the group Gerdis and Bardi took turns trying to interrogate Andor, Flek watched from the sidelines. The interrogation was interrupted when Rika, a member of the group, found the Imperial pilot helmet in the TIE and proclaimed that Andor was an Imperial test pilot. Later that day, Neek and two other members, Nazy and Flek were assigned to guard Andor while Rika tried to learn to fly the TIE. A short conversation between the guards and Andor was interrupted and the three guards took cover when Rika pressed a button causing the TIE's laser cannons to fire in to the jungle near the group.[1]
A group divided[]
That night, an argument between the group erupted when discussing who should be in charge ultimately coming to a head when Crab shot Rika with his blaster and Rowd responded by shooting Crab. The brigade members exchange fire between each other while splitting into two factions; with Neek siding with Bardi, Musk, Rowd, Tick, Nazy and Flu and regrouping at the TIE while the other group retreated to the crashed HOY-39.[1] The following morning the Rowd a member of the group cut open a fowl smelling Yavin 4 melon. Neek warned against eating it, stating that if it tasted anything like it smell it would not be good. However Bardi eventually mustered up the courage and takes a bite. Later in day the group began trying to use rope to rotate the TIE so that its weapons would point towards the other group. When other group found out about the move they opened fire at the TIE forcing the Neek's group to suspend their attempts. That night Gerdis decided to issue a challenge to Bardi to settle the dispute. The two groups cross towards each other before all dropping their weapons in unison. Neek held a torch as they watched the two leaders engage in a game of Five Hands with Roski rules. While the group watched the game, Andor took the opportunity to escape. While Andor was making his way past the group to the TIE, a Yavinian doodar came out of the jungle and scooped Bardi and Gerdis in it's mouth. The rest of the group, including Neek scrambled for their guns and began to shoot wildly into the jungle. When the group realized that Andor had made it to the TIE and was taking off the group began shooting at the TIE but were unable to stop it from leaving.[3]
