Leeka

Leeka was an Iakaru archaeologist and scholar. By 32 BBY, the scholar joined an expedition of their friend and colleague Shanto to explore a long-deserted starship overtaken by asteroids along with fellow archaeologists Pol-Adi and Tamanuki. After Shanto disappeared in the depths of the mysterious ship, Leeka and the others sent out a distress signal that was answered by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi. When the Jedi's investigation led to a noisy skirmish with oclatars, Leeka and the other two remaining archaeologists rushed to aid the Jedi in spite of the danger. Upon the discovery of the Tomb of Sarasti Thel aboard the ship and learning of Shanto's death, Leeka believed the best way to honor him would be to finish their mission.
