Rekkon

Rekkon was a Human male university professor who, in 2 BBY, formed a secret group of citizens searching for lost loved ones who had disappeared after running afoul of the Corporate Sector Authority. A native of the Roundtree system, Rekkon embarked on a career as an academic after discovering a love for teaching at an early age, eventually taking a position as a dean at the University of Kalla in the Corporate Sector. A committed believer in liberty and freedom of expression, Rekkon found his political views in stark opposition to the authoritarian Corporate Sector, but nevertheless passed on his values to his nephew Tchaka, whom he raised after the death of his parents.

After his preachings earned the attention of the Corporate Sector Authority, the young and rash Tchaka suddenly disappeared without a trace in 2 BBY. Determined to find his nephew, Rekkon discovered that Tchaka was just one of a number of political dissidents to vanish in recent months, and made common cause with several others facing the same dilemma. Posing as a computer technician, Rekkon and his team successfully infiltrated the Authority Data Center on Orron III, extracting vital information on the lost ones' location with the help of Corellian smuggler Han Solo. However, shortly after leaving Orron III, Rekkon was murdered by his second-in-command, Torm Dadeferron, who was secretly an Authority agent. Still, Rekkon managed to point Solo and the rest of his group to the secret prison known as Stars' End, where they freed Tchaka and thousands of others.
