Reico, a Human male soldier, fought for the Galactic Republic as a private within the ranks of the Republic Army's 301st Infantry. The year 3642 BBY saw him participating in the battle that took place on the planet Hoth. This conflict pitted the Republic against the combined forces of the reconstituted Sith Empire and the White Maw pirates. Following the loss of Sergeant Fideltin Rusk's original team in battle, Reico was transferred to Rusk's newly formed unit. Alongside fellow Privates Edder, Voshpar, Dromol, and Vanth, Reico and Rusk's squad assisted the Hero of Tython and Leeha Narezz as they looked for the schematics to the Sith Emperor's space fortress under the direction of the Jedi.
