Piikow was a Chadra-Fan, identified as a technician, who served the Dreamers. This group followed in the footsteps of Saw Gerrera's partisans. He was compelled to labor at an Imperial manufacturing plant due to his belief that his family was being held captive. While working there, he was subjected to hazardous substances, unaware that the Empire had already killed his family. Around 0 ABY, soon after the Battle of Yavin, Piikow found his way to the Dreamers and began working at their encampment situated on the planet Jeosyn. As the Dreamers gained several new members, Piikow befriended one of them, who went by the name Del Farren. However, Farren's real identity was Del Meeko, one of four undercover operatives belonging to Inferno Squad, an Imperial Special Forces unit. In the months that ensued, the double-agents of Inferno Squad killed all of the Dreamers, including Piikow. Even though Meeko was serving Inferno Squad, he felt remorse over the Chadra-Fan's demise.
