Nilesk was a female Rodian who lived during the Galactic Civil War. A member of the Goa-Ato, Nilesk served on a committee that matched hunters with bounties. She would typically scan lists of new hunters (usually unknown to her) on her datapad, evaluating their stats, while her assistant Opdoa scanned Imperial bounties around the galaxy, choosing the most appropriate for each.
Nilesk and Opdoa favored Teksli Yenak of the Chattza clan and assigned an easy hunt for him, while they chose something high risk and low pay for Fask Eelak of the An'yettu clan. Nilesk expecting Eelak would not survive enough to collect the bounty on the Wookiee Gerraba, and hoped that even if she succeeded, the judges would "fail" to verify her account for an Atiang.
Considering that Navik the Red was complaining about the "Ultimate Hunters" of the Neetakka clan, Nilesk recommended something long and nearly impossible for Geska Gesse, such as the bounty on Han Solo. She learned from Opdoa that Solo had been collected by Boba Fett, therefore she suggested to sent Gesse against Luke Skywalker, and reassign Solo chasers to the "Most Wanted Rebels" list.
