Legend

this taller, broad-shouldered Brigian was distingiushed by his darker coloration. Keek served as the Chief of the Internal Security Police for the Brigian New Regime, during the early years of the New Order, as evidenced by the gaudy uniforms and plumed helmet he preferred to wear. In fact, a badge among his "military honors" marked him as the spelling champion of Oor VII. A devoted member of the New Regime, Keek took it upon himself to insure the security of Brigia. To this end, he decided to close down all institutions of higher learning, and labeled any Brigian who sought to improve the educational system on Brigia a dissident and a troublemaker. Like his superiors, Keek believed that higher education of the masses encouraged freedom of speech, which threatened the New Regime and Keek's position in it. However, when Han Solo arrived on Brigia to bring Hissal back to his homeworld, Keek found himself in a bad situation. Solo exposed the New Regime's counterfeit currency, and immediately brought Hissal back on board the Millennium Falcon. Solo then set Hissal down in a more remote area, where he could establish his university. Keek was forced to back down, and was forced to watch as the Brigian population rose up to demand its freedom.
