Meric, a Twi'lek lieutenant of the male gender, was in the service of the Galactic Republic in the Galactic War. This conflict pitted them against the resurgent Sith Empire. During the Quesh war, while based on Quesh, he noticed Imperial operations occurring on the roofs of multiple Republic factories that had fallen into enemy hands. After sending soldiers to investigate, who subsequently vanished, Meric convinced another member of the Republic to assault the factory rooftops and stop the Imperial war droids from setting off explosives that were intended to obliterate the factories.
