Neeku Vozo, a male Kadas'sa'Nikto technician, was a member of Team Fireball stationed on the Colossus. During his assignment on the Colossus to investigate First Order influence, he became friends with Kazuda Xiono, a Resistance agent working undercover. As the chief engineer of the station, Neeku played a role in the subsequent search for the Colossus.
Originating from the planet of Kintan, Neeku Vozo's ancestry was rooted in a lineage of bantha herders. However, he stood out as a "prodigy" within his family and larger tribe. Growing up, Vozo was captivated by the heroic narratives shared by his elders, many of which depicted pirates as figures who "stole from the wealthy to aid the impoverished." These tales instilled a romanticized view of such criminals and their lifestyles in the young Vozo's mind. Despite their lack of understanding for his aspirations, Vozo's parents supported his ambition to become a mechanic by selling their most prized bantha calves to fund his apprenticeship as a skilled engineer. After leaving his home, Vozo once owned a pet named Lucky, a creature that reminded him of his origins. Eventually, Lucky died, leading Vozo to consume the remains of his beloved companion.
During the New Republic era, Neeku Vozo secured employment as a mechanic at Jarek Yeager's repair shop, a former New Republic starfighter pilot, located on the Colossus, a supertanker fuel depot situated on the Outer Rim ocean planet of Castilon. He collaborated with Tamara Ryvora, a female human, and R1-J5 "Bucket," an astromech droid.
In 34 ABY, Neeku overheard a conversation between two visitors: Poe Dameron, a Resistance pilot, and Kazuda Xiono, a former New Republic starfighter pilot who had transitioned into a Resistance spy. Recognizing Dameron, Neeku greeted him, mentioning their past acquaintance. Misinterpreting Xiono's comment about his childhood aspiration to be the best starfighter pilot in the galaxy, Neeku enthusiastically proclaimed to a gathering at Aunt Z's Tavern that Kaz was indeed the "best starfighter pilot in the galaxy."
Following Kaz's involvement in a scuffle triggered by Grevel's manipulated holo-darts game, Kaz attempted to clarify his earlier statement. Taking things literally, Neeku felt deceived and took offense. To make amends, Kaz reluctantly agreed to demonstrate his piloting skills by racing against Torra Doza, an elite Ace Squadron pilot and the daughter of Captain Imanuel Doza, the overseer of the Colossus.
Subsequently, Neeku accompanied Kaz to Yeager's repair shop to borrow Tam Ryvora's racer, the Fireball. Given the Fireball's dilapidated condition, Yeager dispatched Neeku and Kaz to Flix and Orka's Office of Acquisitions to acquire spare parts. When Kaz sought Neeku's assistance in obtaining these components, Neeku informed him that he would have to cover the costs himself. Upon Neeku's plea on Kaz's behalf, Orka consented to provide secondhand parts in exchange for a gorg for lunch.
The next day, Kaz participated in the race. Due to the Fireball's poor condition, the ship plunged into the ocean after its engines failed. Following Kaz's rescue, Neeku expressed his relief at Kaz's survival and praised his exceptional piloting abilities. Yeager, aware of Kaz's role as a Resistance spy through his friendship with Poe, agreed to employ Kaz as a mechanic, providing him with a cover on the Colossus. Kaz was also accompanied by BB-8, Poe's BB-series astromech droid, tasked with overseeing the young spy.
While Yeager tolerated Kaz's presence and Tam and Bucket harbored resentment towards the newcomer, Neeku maintained a friendly relationship with Kaz. Neeku showed interest in Kaz's lucky trophy. In return, Neeku shared the sorrowful tale of his former pet, Lucky. Given Kaz's lack of mechanical experience, Yeager assigned Neeku to supervise Kaz's repairs on Hallion Nark's starship, a Neimoidian visitor.
Unbeknownst to Neeku and the others, Nark was a spy working for Kragan Gorr and his Warbird gang. During the attack on the Colossus by the Warbirds under the cover of a triple dark storm, Neeku and the rest of Team Fireball sought refuge. Kaz utilized Yeager's equipment to disrupt the pirates' communications, forcing their retreat.
When Kaz struggled with an engine repair, Neeku offered encouragement, reminding him that an engine lacked sentience. After Jace Rucklin, a racer and troublemaker, and his associates befriended Kaz, Neeku cautioned Kaz to be wary of the youths, describing them as "lazy, always laughing, playing pranks on others, and not focused on their work."
Neeku's warnings proved accurate when Jace exploited a visit to Yeager's office to pilfer a bottle of volatile hyperfuel. Upon discovering the missing bottle, Neeku warned Kaz of hyperfuel's instability and potential for catastrophic blowouts. Realizing Rucklin's theft, Kaz intervened, preventing Rucklin's escape but inadvertently destroying racer in the process.
After testing comlinks during a blackout, Neeku and his colleagues Kaz and Tam went to Aunt Z's Tavern for a meal of Cirilian Sour Pastes. Following a second blackout, the trio encountered Hype Fazon, the Ace leader, who enjoyed celebrity status on the Colossus. While Neeku and Kaz were friendly towards Hype, Tam harbored resentment towards the Ace leader due to his abandonment of her during her racing days.
Shortly thereafter, a First Order delegation led by Major Elrik Vonreg visited the Colossus to negotiate a fuel supply agreement with Captain Imanuel Doza. Aware of Kaz's interest in the First Order, Neeku attempted to engage the First Order stormtroopers in conversation, but they dismissed him. As a precaution, Kaz confiscated the other half of the comlink.
Seeking to gain favor, Hype invited Neeku and his friends to the High Tower, an offer accepted by Neeku and Kaz. Tam reluctantly joined them. While Neeku and Tam socialized with Hype, Kaz seized the opportunity to spy on Captain Doza's meeting with Major Vonreg. Kaz was later forced to flee when stormtroopers detected him.
While having drinks with Tam at Aunt Z's Tavern, Neeku, Tam, and the other patrons witnessed Kaz navigating over the ledge to evade the stormtroopers. Neeku joined the others in cheering for Kaz, while Tam expressed concern for the young mechanic. Kaz managed to escape through a blast door. Upon returning to Yeager's repairs, Kaz returned Neeku's comlink. Neeku was delighted to have his comlink back, but Kaz cautioned him against using it when they were in the same room.
Neeku assisted Tam and Kaz in installing an acceleration compensator. After Kaz accidentally damaged the compensator, Neeku sympathized with Kaz and paid for his glass of water at Aunt Z's Tavern. When Kaz learned of a bounty on two missing children and resolved to collect it to purchase a new compensator, Neeku reminded Kaz that he was not a bounty hunter. However, Kaz convinced Neeku that he could both acquire a new compensator for Tam and assist the children, creating a mutually beneficial outcome.
Neeku, along with Kaz and BB-8, soon encountered the children Kel and Eila in the Colossus marketplace. Kaz attempted to reassure the children of his intentions to help them, but they distrusted him and fled. Neeku then informed Kaz that he had friends who could assist in locating the children. Neeku led Kaz and BB-8 to the engineering deck, the domain of the Chelidae or "Shell folk," who agreed to help.
Shortly thereafter, Neeku, Kaz, and BB-8 were summoned by the security droid 4D-M1N for a meeting with Captain Doza at Doza Tower. Doza inquired about Kaz's interest in the children before dismissing them. Later, Neeku and Kaz received word from the Chelidae leader that his people had located Kel and Eila. Upon meeting the children, Neeku, Kaz, and BB-8 learned that they were survivors of a First Order massacre on Tehar perpetrated by Kylo Ren and that the First Order sought to eliminate all remaining survivors.
As Eila had sustained a leg injury, Neeku accompanied Kel and Kaz to the marketplace to procure a healing herb. However, First Order forces led by Commander Pyre arrived to hunt down the children, having been tipped off by Captain Doza. After escaping back to the engineering deck, Kaz devised a plan to deceive the First Order into believing that Kel and Eila had jumped to their deaths below. Kaz's plan succeeded, and the children found refuge with the Chelidae. As an added benefit, Kaz managed to appease Tam by obtaining an acceleration compensator from the Chelidae.
Neeku was asleep when Kaz departed with Yeager on an early morning "salvage operation." Unbeknownst to Neeku, this salvage operation was actually a starfighter training exercise with Kaz's mentor, Dameron. While flying, the two Resistance pilots investigated a distress signal in sector six of the Castilon system. They rescued Synara San, a crew member who was secretly a member of Kragan Gorr's Warbird gang.
Later, Neeku was working in Yeager's repair station when BB-8 embarked on a wild chase searching for Kaz, who had been working on a targeting computer all that time.
Neeku and his fellow Team Fireball mechanics received a contract from Captain Doza to repair the station's air defense system's tracking computer. While working on the computer, Vozo discovered that they needed a new CoMar Tri-Tracker chip, an extremely rare military component. Since Neeku had a reputation as a "chatterbox," Yeager ordered him to work in the garage and to delay his lunch break.
After Kaz and Tam returned with a tracker chip provided by Synara San, Yeager allowed Vozo to take a break but issued orders to keep their operation secret. Vozo took it literally and muffled his mouth. Neeku muffling his mouth annoyed Kaz and Tam, who had trouble understanding his words. Later, Synara San visited to give Xiono some connector couplings. In truth, she wanted to confirm that the platform's air defense system was down.
After Tam returned from her lunchbreak, Kaz asked Neeku about the chances of a pirate raid happening. Before Neeku could answer, Kragan Gorr and his pirates attacked the Colossus. During the attack, Neeku and Bucket hid inside the supply closet. Following the attack, Neeku recounted his and Bucket's ordeal to an exhausted Yeager, who had just returned from installing the tracking computer into the air defense system.
Neeku and his fellow crew were working on the Fireball racer when Tam informed about the upcoming Platform Classic race. When Kaz remarked that he heard a rumor that would make the Platform Classic the "greatest race" in the galaxy, Neeku thought that Kaz was joking. Shortly later, Neeku accompanied Yeager and the rest of Team Fireball to a meeting with Captain Doza, who wanted Yeager to compete in the Platform Classic against galactic racing champion Marcus Speedstar, Yeager's estranged younger brother.
While Neeku and the other members of Team Fireball were delighted by the presence of Marcus Speedstar at the Platform Classic, Yeager was still hostile towards Marcus for causing the deaths of his wife and daughter. After returning to the workshop, Neeku asked Yeager why his brother had a different surname. Yeager was annoyed that Neeku thought that Speedstar was a proper surname.
When Speedstar visited Yeager's garage in an attempt to mend relations with his older brother, Neeku introduced Yeager's Esral'sa'Nikto Oplock and astromech droid R4-D12 to his teammates. When Oplock howled, Yeager reassured Kaz and Tam that this was a traditional Esral'sa'Nikto greeting.
Later, Neeku accompanied Yeager and the rest of the team to Aunt Z's Tavern where Yeager attempted to force Speedstar to pull of the race. Speedstar refused because he wanted to pay back his debts to the Guavian Death Gang to secure the release of his friend Oplock. Yeager's ploy backfired when Aunt Z and her patrons began betting on the two brothers.
While Yeager was preparing his racer for the race, Neeku asked Yeager why he had stopped speaking to his younger brother. Without disclosing the details of their fallout, Yeager told Neeku that Speedstar had not been there when he needed him.
Neeku and the rest of Team Fireball watched the Platform Classic on a holoscreen. During the descent phase, Neeku remarked that he could not bear to look. During the race, Yeager and Speedstar reconciled after Yeager realized that Speedstar truly cared for his friend Oplock. Yeager then pulled out near the finish line, allowing Speedstar to win the race and claim the prize money to pay Oplock's ransom. Neeku and the rest of Team Fireball were present when Yeager and Speedstar parted company on amicable terms.
Neeku and his fellow Team Fireball members and Torra Doza later had a game of holo-darts at Aunt Z's Tavern. Xiono missed all three shots in his round. Bucket managed to hit the bull's eye twice but the third dart struck Xiono in the backside.
As reward for his hard work, Yeager treated Neeku for lunch and allowed him to buy anything that he wanted. Neeku decided to buy a gorg from Bolza Grool's stall in the Colossus marketplace. However, the gorg escaped and led Neeku on a wild chase through the market. Following the chase, Neeku changes his mind and decided to have bantha milk instead. Yeager remarked to BB-8 that Neeku could have gotten a droid instead.
Neeku was present with Ryvora when Xiono took a test flight in the Fireball. Xiono managed to circle the Fireball with Torra Doza's Blue Ace. However, the ship's throttle broke, causing Xiono to descend rapidly into Yeager's hangar. Xiono managed to regain control of the ship and land it safely. However, the Fireball's landing gear and canopy soon fell apart.
Neeku and Xiono later visited Synara San at the Colossus loading docks seeking parts for the Fireball. Synara retrieved the wreckage of a Z-95 Headhunter from the the sea. They encountered a baby rokkna inside the Z-95 Headhunter's engine. Neeku quickly took a liking to the creature, thinking that it reminded him of a pet that he had as a hatchling back at home. To the consternation of Kaz and Synara, Neeku adopted the creature as his pet Bibo and hugged him.
Neeku's new pet created tensions with his employer Yeager and colleagues Ryvora and Kaz. Despite Yeager's "no pets" policy, Yeager relented after Neeku promised to share his bunk and rations with Bibo. In spite of Neeku's efforts to keep Bibo contained, Bibo wrecked havoc around Yeager's garage, annoying Yeager and terrorizing the astromech droid Bucket. Having had enough of Bibo's disruptive behavior, Yeager ordered Yeager to get rid of Bibo.
Unwilling to cast out his new pet, Neeku responded that he would also leave, provoking a gasp from Tam. When a shocked Yeager asks what he said, Neeku responded that he had asked nothing from him in all his years of service but that if he rejected Bibo he would resign. Bibo then ran away and Neeku chased after him. In response, Tam spoke up for Neeku's affection for Bibo and criticized Yeager for his perceived leniency towards Xiono.
A distraught Neeku searched the Colossus marketplace for Bibo but found no sign of him. Tam consoled him and reassured Vozo that they would find Bibo. After hearing news about a disturbance in the engineering deck from Yeager, Neeku and Tam ventured down there where they met the Chelidae and the two human orphans Kel and Eila, who had found Bibo. Neeku introduced Tam to Kel and Eila, telling her that they were the "shell folk"'s helpers. Eila then sensed through the Force that something was coming for Bibo.
Shortly after, the Colossus faced an assault from a massive rokkna. Thanks to the warning from Kaz and Synara, Captain Doza was able to secure the station. Ace Squadron, along with Kaz piloting the Fireball, made an attempt to repel the gigantic sea beast, but their attacks proved ineffective against its thick hide. As the rokkna's grip tightened around the station, Tam, along with the other inhabitants of the Colossus, implored Neeku to part with Bibo. After the rokkna gazed into the viewport, Neeku came to the realization that surrendering Bibo was necessary to appease the creature.
Taking a chance, Neeku carried Bibo to the rokkna on a distant platform. To the astonishment of both Neeku and Tam, the rokkna embraced Bibo tenderly. Consequently, Neeku and the others understood that the rokkna was Bibo's mother. A saddened Neeku was comforted by Tam. Later, Kaz attempted to lift Neeku's spirits by presenting him with the gorg Lubo as a companion. However, Neeku mistook the gorg for sustenance and consumed it instead.
After Kaz installed a brand new GX engine, repulsorlifts, and injectors, Neeku, Tam, and Yeager showered Kaz with compliments regarding his enhanced mechanical abilities. Kaz shared with his colleagues that he had acquired the components from Flix and Orka in exchange for watching over their business, the Office of Acquisitions. Subsequently, Kaz thwarted a First Order plot aimed at stealing a phase connector.
While Neeku and Kaz were repairing a speeder bike, BB-8 irritated Bucket, resulting in a quarrel between the droids. Later that evening, the Warbird pirate gang was hired by the First Order to kidnap Captain Doza's daughter, Torra Doza. Subsequently, they turned on the pirates and rescued her, thereby persuading Captain Doza to accept the "protection" offered by the First Order.
Following the First Order's occupation of the Colossus, Neeku observed the arrival of TIE/fo space superiority fighters. Later, Neeku was present at Yeager's garage when stormtroopers arrived, seeking information regarding the whereabouts of Kaz's friend, Synara San. Kaz managed to deflect suspicion by highlighting that he had assisted in alerting Captain Doza to Torra's kidnapping. Subsequently, Kaz enlisted Neeku's assistance in guiding him and Synara to the lower levels of the Colossus so that Synara could make her escape from the First Order in an escape pod and rejoin the Warbirds.
During the First Order occupation, Neeku participated in a conversation with Kaz, Tam, and Yeager concerning the First Order and its predecessor, the "Old Empire." Neeku echoed Tam's sentiment that the First Order was providing security. Yeager countered by saying that the First Order was hardly any better than the Empire, taking away freedom while pretending to provide security. Tamara, whose grandfather had been a factory worker under the Empire, disagreed that the Empire was evil. When she stormed off, Neeku followed after her.
When the refugees Kel and Eila arrived at Yeager's garage seeking Kaz's help, Neeku and Tam accompanied Kaz and discovered that the two children had incapacitated a First Order stormtrooper known as CS-515. To ascertain that CS-515 had not reported the children, Kaz stole the stormtrooper's armor and infiltrated the First Order base, seizing the opportunity to steal a data rod containing intelligence on First Order fleet movements.
While under the care of Neeku and company, CS-515 regained consciousness and inquired about his location. Neeku feigned friendship with the stormtrooper, telling him that he was disoriented due to being knocked unconscious. After gaining the stormtrooper's confidence, Neeku incapacitated him with an electro-shock prod. Upon Kaz's return, they managed to put CS-515 back in his armor and conceal him. However, CS-515 was reprogrammed due to his "erratic behavior," which occurred while Kaz was impersonating him.
Neeku was working on a racer with Tam, Bucket, and Yeager when Xiono returned from a Mission to the Dassal system. When Neeku and Tam inquired about his whereabouts and the location of the Fireball, Xiono claimed that he had taken the fighter for a spin. When Neeku asked about BB-8, Xiono claimed that he had taken the droid to Takodana for repairs and that CB-23 was on loan. Neeku expressed that he missed BB-8.
Later, Neeku suggested that Kaz and Tam participate in an upcoming race with the Aces the following week. Neeku was also present at Aunt Z's Tavern when the First Order attempted to set up a recruitment poster. Aunt Z objected to their presence. Subsequently, the First Order cancelled all races on the Colossus as a security measure.
Neeku and his fellow Team Fireball members later frequented Aunt Z's Tavern. While Neeku welcomed the security provided by the First Order, he expressed concern regarding the restrictions imposed by the First Order garrison and the communications blackout. Following the disappearance of the racer Hype Fazon, Aunt Z accused the First Order of involvement in his disappearance and hurled a propaganda poster at a stormtrooper patrol.
Following Aunt Z's disappearance, Neeku informed Kaz that Yeager was having a private meeting in his office. Kaz interrupted the meeting and found Yeager chatting with Commander Doza, who was concerned that the First Order was holding people at the West Docks. When Neeku inquired about the meeting, Yeager claimed that they were organizing a social gathering to cheer people up.
Neeku and the rest of Team Fireball, with the exception of Kaz, were present when the garage was raided by Commander Pyre and his stormtroopers. Pyre had discovered that the Fireball had breached Sector Epsilon 51-3 and charged Team Fireball with conspiring against the First Order. Before Pyre could detain them, Bucket fired foam at the stormtroopers, allowing Neeku and most of Team Fireball to escape. However, Tamara surrendered, believing the situation to be the result of a misunderstanding.
Neeku, who was not yet involved with the Resistance, was shocked to learn that Kaz was involved with the Resistance. Despite his shock, he stayed loyal to Yeager and Kaz. Reaching the engineering deck, Neeku, Yeager, Kaz, and CB-23 reunited with Bucket, Kel, Eila, and the Chelidae. Working in coordination with Captain Doza, they submerged the Colossus so that Yeager and Kaz could reach the top of Doza Tower and disable the transmitter, allowing Kaz to contact the Resistance. However, Yeager was captured and General Leia Organa was unable to send reinforcements to Castilon. In response, Kaz formed the Colossus resistance and recruited Neeku, CB-23, Kel, Eila, and the Chelidae as members.
After the formation of the Colossus resistance, Neeku was informed of Kaz's plan to rescue Yeager and Captain Doza from First Order captivity and escape to Hosnian Prime to bring back reinforcements. Struggling to accept Kaz's double life as a spy, Neeku initially struggled to believe that Kaz was the son of a senator.
Before proceeding with their rescue mission, the Colossus resistance seized the hyperdrive chamber. Neeku, along with Kel, Eila, and the Chelidae, remained inside the chamber while Kaz and CB-23 attempted to swim to Doza Tower. However, they were pursued by First Order SCUBA troopers, who trapped them below the engineering deck. At Kaz's urging, Neeku managed to depressurize the chamber, ejecting the SCUBA troopers.
Kaz and CB-23 continued their mission by navigating through the corridors, making contact with Buggles and Torra Doza. Following the Hosnian Cataclysm, Kaz and Torra managed to free Yeager and Captain Doza. Working with Kaz and Torra, Neeku, along with Kel and Eila, flooded the corridors, flushing out numerous stormtroopers. While Kaz and the others attempted to reason with Tamara Ryvora, who had been won over by First Order Security Bureau Agent Tierny, Neeku and his team prepared the Colossus's launch, activating its engines and preparing the hyperdrive.
The Colossus ascended into space amidst a dogfight between Kaz, Yeager, Ace Squadron, the Warbird gang, and Major Elrik Vonreg's squadron. After reaching space, the Colossus and its starfighters fled into hyperspace, escaping Commander Pyre's Star Destroyer. While Neeku had planned a journey to the Ileenium system, he did not have sufficient time to input all the coordinates.
Neeku was among the group that welcomed Kazuda Xiono, Jarek Yeager, Synara San, and Norath Kev upon their return from the battle on Varkana. Neeku observed that he was delighted to see Xiono in stormtrooper armor once more, to which Xiono responded that the armor acted as more of a disguise than anything else.
At some point after freeing the Colossus from the First Order and escaping Castilon, Vozo was given the task by Kragan Gorr and the Warbird gang of repairing and reprogramming a group of old B2-series super battle droids. Vozo pretended to be happy to help, having been lied to by the pirates, who told Vozo the droids were a gift and a new security force for Captain Doza. However, in a stark contrast with his usual mentality, Vozo had in fact realized Gorr's deception, finding the sheer number of super battle droids concerning. Vozo reprogrammed the droids to initially carry out the assault, while he meanwhile reprogrammed lone B1-series battle droid, B1, to act as the super battle droids' commander in the final attempt to prevent the mutiny. Vozo was captured alongside Kazuda and Synara, and soon escaped with assistance from B1. It was at this time that Vozo activated the failsafe, allowing B1 to gain control of the super battle droids, banishing the Warbird gang from the Colossus.
Once the Colossus entered the atmosphere of the planet Aeos Prime, Kazuda became concerned from the turbulence created by the stations atmospheric re-entry, believing it to mean they were under attack. Neeku corrected Kazuda, bringing him to the stations market where the blast doors opened, revealing the tropical surface of Aeos Prime.
After Kazuda and the other aces went to scout the planet, a trio of Aeosian's boarded the Colossus. Neeku attempted to treat them with courtesy by welcoming them and introducing himself. This did not work and they ignited their spear's in a threatening manner. B1 entered the scene with his squad of super battle droids following in an effort to gain control of the situation. Yeager asked Neeku to order B1 to stand down. Neeku cautiously ordered B1 not to get too close but it was in vain as one of the Aeosian soldiers attacked B1. The B2's began firing in an effort to push the Aeosians back. The B2's were quickly overwhelmed by the Aeosian's and Neeku, Yeager, Torra and Hype fled the scene.
It seemed that the group would be overwhelmed as more Aeosian soldiers approached but the advance ceased when the Aeosian Queen appeared along with Kaz and Griff. Kaz and Griff had made an alliance with the Queen while on their mission, giving them medicine in exchange for their lives. This allowed for Captain Doza to discuss staying on Aeos Prime with the permission of the Queen.
Sometime after Kaz had helped rescue Resistance Recruits, Kaz assisted Neeku in repairing the Fireball. During this, Tam sent a code to Kazuda's comlink. Neeku recognized this code as one he and Tam had invented to discuss Kazuda's lack of mechanical skills without him overhearing. Neeku deciphered the code, revealing it meant "Meet me in three cycles in the place where Bibo lives." Kazuda took this to mean that Tam was abandoning the First Order and that she would soon be on Castilon.
While on their mission to save Tam, Yeager and Kazuda were captured. Neeku, while working on the Colossus's bridge, lost their signal.
While Captain Doza attempted to convince the people of the Colossus to agree to his plan of attacking the Star Destroyer Kaz, Yeager and Tam were on, Neeku pushed his way into the room with an urgent transmission from Kazuda. Kazuda and Tam pleaded for the people of the Colossus to flee while they still could before the First Order arrived until they were cut off by incoming blaster fire. This transmission inspired the people of the Colossus to fight back with Neeku joining in saying, "Let's blast some buckets!"
Neeku helped on the Colossus's bridge during the ensuing battle. When the battle was won, Neeku expressed his excitement to Captain Doza.
Neeku reunited with Tam who said she was sorry for what she had done. Neeku forgave her, saying all people make mistakes. Neeku, Tam, Kazuda and Yeager went to Aunt Z's together where they shared drinks. Neeku hugged Tam and Kaz as they were surrounded by Yeager, the Ace's and others that had fought in the battle against Pyre's Star Destroyer. They were all christened as "Team Colossus" by Aunt Z.
Neeku Vozo was identified as a male Kadas'sa'Nikto possessing black eyes and green skin. He had a tendency to interpret everything in a literal sense. Neeku had an easy time befriending others, however his tendency to interpret things literally would often result in confusion and problems. While Neeku was initially disappointed that Kaz was "not the best starfighter pilot in the galaxy," he forgave him after Kaz took part in a race with Torra Doza. Though Kaz lost and even crashed his ship, Neeku regarded Kaz as an exceptional pilot since he escaped uninjured.
Neeku's tendency to take things literally led him to muffle his speech when Yeager ordered him to maintain the secrecy of their tracking computer project. On another occasion, Neeku thought that Marcus Speedstar's surname was a real name, not realizing that it was a nickname. Neeku held Speedstar in high regard due to reputation as a galactic racing champion. Neeku also regarded gorgs as food rather than pets.
Having not lived under the Empire, Neeku did not understand the oppression and exploitative nature of the Empire. He also initially shared Tamara's view that the First Order brought security to the Colossus. As the First Order's occupation became more restrictive and oppressive, Neeku came to question the increased First Order military presence and the communications blackout. Despite his initial appreciation of the First Order, Neeku's loyalty to his friend Kaz and employer Yeager led him to join Kaz's informal resistance cell.
While the rest of Team Fireball initially resented or barely tolerated Kaz's presence, Neeku went out of his way to befriend Kaz despite the latter's lack of mechanical skills. Neeku also recognized that the seemingly charismatic racer Jace Rucklin and his associates were idle and unscrupulous troublemakers. His warning was proven right when Rucklin took advantage of his friendship with Kaz to steal a bottle of volatile hyperfuel.
Neeku was friendly and approachable. He often sought to help others but in the process annoyed them or made the situation worse. On one occasion, he tried to chat with First Order stormtroopers in order to solicit information on Kaz's behalf. Neeku was also a kind-hearted individual and once treated the cash-strapped Kaz for a glass of water. As a discreet observer, Neeku told Kaz that he would not make a good bounty hunter due to the ethical implications of the job. Neeku also praised Kaz as his mechanical skills improved.
Neeku was surprised to learn that Kaz was a spy and initially did not believe that he was the son of a senator. However, he remained loyal to Kaz and supported Kaz's plan to free Yeager and Captain Doza and later to expel the First Order from the Colossus.
Neeku was a close friend of Tamara Ryvora. The two came up with a coded language that they used to gossip about Kazuda Xiono. When Neeku was upset about Yeager kicking out Bibo, Tamara spoke up for him and helped him to find the creature. When Bibo's mother attacked, she convinced him to return Bibo to his mother in order to save the Colossus from destruction.
Neeku showed great affection for the baby rokkna known as Bibo, adopting him as his pet. Neeku's love for his pet blinded him to Bibo's disruptive behavior. Neeku was greatly hurt when Yeager took offense at the mess that Bibo had cause and ordered Neeku to get rid of his pet. Neeku was so distraught that he threatened to resign. Only Tam understood Neeku's affection for Bibo and she helped him to find his pet. After Bibo's mother laid siege to the Colossus, Neeku took a leap of faith and reluctantly returned the creature to its mother.
Neeku Vozo was a skilled mechanic who was familiar with repairing starships and the dangers of hyperfuel. Neeku was familiar with comlinks but annoyed Kaz by using it in the same room. Besides speaking Galactic Basic Standard, Neeku could also speak several languages including the Chelidae language and the Nikto language Cracek.
As a resident of the Colossus, Neeku was familiar with the station's layout. He used this knowledge to help Synara San escape the First Order and find an escape pod that allowed her to reunite with her fellow pirates.
Neeku Vozo is a character created and developed for the Star Wars Resistance animated series. He is voiced by Josh Brener, who voiced Erskin Semaj in Star Wars Rebels.
