Legend

this black-skinned man was born in the Roundtree System, the only child of a middle-class family. He showed great aptitude for computer programming, and eventually discovered that he could slice into computer systems with ease. Unlike many slicers, though, Rekkon had a conscience and morals. This was due to the teachings of his parents, which he never lost sight of as he became more skilled. Rekkon excelled in school, and was offered a programming position with the Corporate Sector Authority. He accepted, and made the move to Corporate Sector space. He later accepted a teaching position at a CSA-sponsored university on Kalla. His brother's family moved with him, and this was how Rekkon became a role model for his nephew, Tchaka. Rekkon was a scholar of many different schools and schools of thought, and over time he lost count of the number of degrees and credentials he had acquired. In his spare time, he began looking into the rumblings and hall-talk of misdealings by the Authority. He believed that the Authority was illegally kidnapping people from all races and using them as slaves or other forced laborers. He was trying to piece together all the clues he had in order to locate the captives and free them. Then Tchaka was discovered missing after speaking out against the Authority. Rekkon then begn recruiting other people who knew of missing individuals, and they were ready to infiltrate the Authority's Data Center on Orron III when Han Solo agreed to help them. After retrieving the necessary data with Blue Max's help, Rekkon discovered that the prisoners were being held in a facility on Mytus VII, but could not complete the mission. He was murdered by Torm aboard the Millennium Falcon after blasting away from Orron III, but not before he managed to scribble the name "Stars' End, Mytus VII" on the holochess table. This allowed Han Solo to identify Torm as the killer, and allowed the rest of the team to find Stars' End and liberate the prisoners there, including Tchaka.
