The Reks, a sentient species, possessed bodies that were long, thin, and resembled whips. Their skin was delicate, feeling like lukewarm rubber to the touch. A striking feature of all Reks was their vividly-colored eyes, with purple irises frequently seen among the females of the species. Numerous Reks chose to pursue careers as bounty hunters. A team of several Rek bounty hunters, in the service of the criminal overlord Nandreeson, apprehended Lando Calrissian and subsequently delivered him to their boss.
