A Human male named Skutch served as a fighter within the ranks of Meeka Reen's band of anti-Imperial pirates-turned-guerrillas. This group operated on Jerne throughout the Galactic Civil War period. Skutch participated in the liberation of key Rebel prisoners Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa from Imperial Captain Ryko Vant by Reen's forces. It was Skutch who subsequently found that Vant had attached a tracking device to Skywalker's droid, R2-D2, which caused friction between the Rebels and Reen's guerrilla fighters. Skutch ultimately met his death alongside the rest of Reen's unit, during an endeavor to blast open a bunker thought to contain an artifact referred to as the "Eternity Crystal."
