Vakk, a findsman of the Gand species, identified as male and existed in the final years of the Galactic Empire.
During his life, Vakk became a member of the crew belonging to a young smuggler who was rebellious; he would participate in many assignments for the smuggler across the Anoat sector. During the period of the Iron Blockade, the findsman known as Vakk was active within the Anoat sector. Even when compared to other Gands, Vakk was unique due to his strict adherence to non-violence, utilizing his abilities solely for locating and identifying, never for capturing or eliminating targets.
The initial appearance of Vakk within Star Wars canon was in Star Wars: Uprising, a multiplayer mobile game developed by Kabam. It was launched on September 10, 2015, for both iOS and Android devices. In the context of the game, Vakk is presented as a possible crew member for the player's character, and can be sent on timed missions to obtain experience points and valuable items.
