Reeg Brosna was an Arcona male pirate in the crew of the Crimson Corsair Sidon Ithano, captain of the Meson Martinet. He and the rest of the crew set out to claim the lost treasure of the Sith Lord Count Dooku from the crashed Separatist cruiser Obrexta III on the planet Ponemah Terminal. While trying to reach the cruiser in the sail barge Shrike, Brosna and his crewmates encountered a sandstorm which the Arcona fired a kinetic disruptor missile into in order to try and freeze it. Before the missile could take effect, Brosna was knocked off the Shrike and into the storm when the Weequay pirate Scorza opened fire on the sail barge. Brosna managed to survive and sometime afterwards, invited his friend Han Solo to Black Spire Outpost on Batuu to celebrate Life Day, but in actuality the invitation was a trap set up to surrender Solo over to the Kanjiklub gang.

Biography

Reeg Brosna was a male Arcona who served on board the pirate vessel known as the Meson Martinet in the crew of its captain, the Crimson Corsair Sidon Ithano.^[1] In 31 ABY,^[3] five decades after the Clone Wars ended, the pirate crew picked up an emergency broadcast on the planet Ponemah Terminal being transmitted by the long lost Confederacy of Independent Systems cruiser Obrexta III. Believing the cruiser to contain the legendary lost treasure of the Sith Lord Count Dooku, Ithano's crew set out on the retrofitted sail barge Shrike for the Sea of Sands, a dangerous region of Ponemah where the Obrexta III had crashed.^[1]

En route, Brosna questioned what the treasure on board the ancient cruiser might be, causing the first mate Quiggold to guess that it might be lightsaber crystals collected by Dooku during the Clone Wars. Before the barge could reach the source of the distress signal, it encountered a large sandstorm which threatened to destroy the vessel. After receiving silent orders from Ithano, Quiggold ordered Brosna to load a kinetic disruptor missile into the barge's torpedo system, which would freeze the sandstorm when it detonated. As Quiggold counted down, Brosna prepared the missile's targeting system and then loaded it, firing without hesitation on the count of one while whispering with his eyes closed. Brosna successfully hit his target, but before the missile could detonate, the Weequay pirate Scorza, who was also seeking to claim Dooku's treasure, opened fire on the Shrike with the cannons on board his skiff. Caught off guard, Brosna was knocked from the sail barge by the attack and immediately swept away by the sand maelstrom.^[1]

However, Reeg Brosna managed to survive his fall into the sand^[4] and sometime later that same year,^[5] Brosna invited his old friend Han Solo to celebrate Life Day together at Oga's Cantina in Black Spire Outpost on Batuu. However in actuality the invitation was a trap set up to surrender Solo to the Kanjiklub gang, who he had betrayed in the past. After arriving in Black Spire Outpost, Solo's partner Chewbacca went ahead into the cantina to meet Brosna, while Solo stayed behind to buy a Life Day Orb for his Wookiee friend, which allowed him to avoid the trap. When Solo didn't arrive, the Kanjiklubbers took the patrons of the cantina hostage until someone surrendered him to them. Solo was then found by the cantina's owner Oga Garra and together the two managed to overwhelm the members of the gang. Afterwards Garra wanted to shoot Brosna too, but Chewbacc stopped her telling them that Brosna had been blackmailed by Kanjiklub who had threatened his home and family.^[4]

Personality and traits

Reeg Brosna was a yellow-eyed Arcona with brown skin^[2] who was particularly well known for his grace and agility when under fire, although he was knocked from the Shrike when under cannon fire in a sandstorm. Despite coming from a desert species, Brosna sweated profusely while in the Sea of Sand, and wore a heavy hood to shade himself.^[1]
