Reik Sopil's sibling was Owal Sopil, a small-time smuggler working for Black Sun, a criminal syndicate that inspired terror throughout the galaxy. After Owal was discovered stealing portions of the cargo he was transporting and was transported to an isolated bunker on Endor to be judged by the local Vigo, Reik sought assistance from his acquaintances, Lando Calrissian and Dash Rendar, in order to plan a rescue operation. Calrissian was in Sopil's debt, and Sopil managed to pay Rendar's price for the undertaking. Soon after the local Vigo and Prince Xizor's aide, the Human replica droid Guri, journeyed to the moon to address Owal's situation and other issues, the team arrived on Endor.
