Vekki was a Jedi Initiate of the Bantha Clan, training at the Jedi Academy on Ossus; she was a female. This took place in 40 ABY. Accompanied by the other students of the Academy, she was led into the Academy's courtyard by Galactic Alliance Guard soldiers, who were commanded by Major Salle Serpa. When Jaina Solo gave the signal, the students retaliated against the GAG troops. Serpa, in an attempt to flee, used Vekki as a human shield, endangering the young girl's life. The Jedi Knight Zekk intervened and rescued her.
