Wes Riggers was a male Sullustan miner who lived on Lok during the Galactic Civil War.
After the Battle of Yavin, Wes Riggers worked in a mining facility operated by the Galactic Empire. During that time, Riggers and Raynar Cath, another miner, meddled in the affairs of the Lok Revenants, the most powerful criminal organization on Lok and provoked the ire of their leader: the warlord Nym.
The Imperial Mine.
In 1 ABY, the miners hit a gas pocket, releasing toxic vapors in the mine. The gas did not physically injured the miners but made them crazy and very aggressive. The situation in the mine was later discovered by the Lok Revenants. Jinkins, Nym's chief engineer, thus decided to obtain a sample of the gas in order to study it and use it as a weapon if possible. Jinkins thus tasked a group of adventurous spacers of the Lok Revenants with retrieving a sample of toxic gas. While Jinkins was preparing the assault, Mako Ghast, another lieutenant of Nym, realized that the raid on the mine could be an opportunity to get rid of Riggers and Cath. The Lok Revenants then raided the Imperial mine and retrieved a sealed container of the poisonous gas for Jinkins. During the assault, the spacers attacked and killed both Wes Riggers and Raynar Cath.
