Desh, Reck
this former smuggler was known for his flambouyant appearance, which including body piercings and tattooes. He also favored electrum jewelry. A former acquaintance of Han Solo and Roa, Desh tried his luck as a mercenary for hire during the early years of the New Republic. He even went so far as to sell his services to the Yuuzhan Vong, shortly after the Battle of Ithor. He joined a group of renegades known as the Peace Brigades, and set out to foment unrest and distrust of the Jedi Knights. Han Solo and Roa tried to track him down, shortly after the destruction of Obroa-skai. After Roa was captured on the Jubilee Wheel by the Yuuzhan Vong, Han ran into Reck during the Peace Brigade's ambush of the Queen of Empire. The Brigade had hoped to recover the priestess Elan and return her to the Yuuzhan Vong, despite the Vong's own plans to have Elan infiltrate the Jedi Knights. Elan was recovered by Han Solo, but Reck and his mercenaries managed to expose her and take her to their ship. Han pursued, and found that Elan had exhaled a breath full of bo'tous, which had killed the entire crew of the Peace Brigade's ship. Reck was among the dead.
