Finding his blaster stuck in its holster, Lobereki grunts and exclaims

Lobereki was a Duraceph courier with a fast starship who was active during the High Republic Era. In 132 BBY, he and a group of other locals dined with Jedi Master Indara—whom he considered somewhat attractive for a non-Duraceph—in the Lomi Usqi Noodle Shop in Point Ueda on the planet Ueda. As they ate, the Sith assassin Mae-ho Aniseya approached and demanded that Indara attack her.

Lobereki and the other locals initially laughed at Aniseya, but when the Jedi declined to fight, the assassin instead attacked her companions. The Duraceph fought against her in return but, after his blaster stuck in its holster, Aniseya kicked a table into the courier and knocked him out. She then killed Indara and left.

The human Dyn Pilga, wearing a fur cap, and the blue-skinned Duraceph Lobereki sit at a table in the Lomi Usqi Noodle Shop. — Lobereki dined with Indara and other locals at the Lomi Usqi Noodle Shop.

Lobereki was a Duraceph who worked as a courier during the High Republic Era. Local to Point Ueda, the capital of the planet Ueda, he traveled frequently and so was kept well-informed of any nearby incidents that were worth reporting to the human Indara, a Jedi Master stationed on Ueda. Indara preferred hearing unvarnished truths and agenda-free reports from locals like Lobereki than from the planetary leaders, marshals, and civic representatives that she dealt with in a diplomatic capacity.^[1]

In 132 BBY,^[3] Lobereki dined with Indara and a group of three other locals—Ohal Alond, Dyn Pilga, and Tianris Mez^[1]—at a table in the back corner^[4] of the Lomi Usqi Noodle Shop in Point Ueda.^[1] As they ate, the hooded Sith assassin Mae-ho Aniseya approached the table and addressed Indara, claiming they had unfinished business. Lowering herself into a fighting stance, Aniseya demanded the Jedi attack her, but after a moment of stunned silence, Mez began to laugh and Lobereki and the other locals joined in.^[2]

Lobereki grunts as he is hit repeatedly by Mae-ho Aniseya

Indara silenced the group with a raised hand and declined to fight the assassin, so Aniseya instead attacked and incapacitated Alond before^[2] knocking Mez out when he tried to intervene.^[4] Moving around the table, Lobereki grabbed at Aniseya, but she dodged him and punched Pilga in the stomach while dodging a punch from^[2] him^[1] in return. Lobereki then missed again with a kick before Aniseya rammed her elbow into his neck and punched him in the face. She then hurled him across a table in the center of the room. When Lobereki stood, the assassin had Pilga in a head lock, so the Duraceph reached for his blaster but found it stuck in its holster.^[2]

Lobereki stands with a blaster pointing at an upended table where a recently fired blaster shot explodes on the surface. — Lobereki got one shot off at Mae-ho Aniseya before she knocked him out.

By the time he got it free, Aniseya had thrown Pilga to the ground and flipped a table up in front of her to shield herself from Lobereki's first shot. She then kicked the entire upended table into the courier, trapping him against another table^[2] and knocking him out.^[4] With her dining companions all incapacitated, Indara confronted Aniseya, but after a lengthy fight the assassin killed the Jedi and then left. The Jedi Order then investigated the incident.^[2]
