Skraik, a Sneevel crime lord of the male persuasion, ran his criminal enterprise in Garel City on Garel. He was the ringleader of a gang composed of diminutive sentients, whom he compelled to steal components from starships for illicit sales on the black market. At first, he would divvy up the stolen goods with his underlings, though he kept the largest portion. But, Skraik eventually obtained a gundark named Gigi, and he began using her to intimidate his gang into unpaid labor. Garazeb Orrelios brought an end to his tyrannical control over the "little people" dwelling beneath Garel City. Orrelios demonstrated to the enslaved thieves that they could defeat a far more powerful adversary by using cunning tactics and strength in numbers. Skraik was defeated by the strategy his thieves had come up with, and he tumbled from Gigi's back, at which point the gundark seized the electric prod that the Sneevel had been employing to control her. Gigi, seeking revenge for the abuse she suffered, began shocking Skraik, causing him to run away from the scene.
