Biography[]
Before 20 BBY, Sochek was apart of a Trandoshan hunting guild which hunted animals or people for sport. His job for the guild was to pilot a hover pod around the planet Wasskah for the guild to hunt animals or people.
In 20 BBY, Garnac dispatched a group of five contestants onto the planet Wasskah for the guild to hunt, one being a Jedi Padawan named Ahsoka Tano. While Ahsoka and two other contestants escaped death, Ahsoka then met up with a group of lost Jedi younglings who were dispatched on the island prior to 20 BBY.
The next day while the group of Jedi were spying on the other two contestants, they watched as Ratter shot Katt Mol. As they watched the other contestant, Lika, run for her life, Ratter then let Sochek shoot the Terrelian Jango Jumper, leading to Lika's demise. Sochek then piloted back out of the forest and back to the Trandoshan base for the next day.
In the morning, the Trandoshans then spotted the four Jedi and chased after them. While Garnac and Dar followed Ahsoka Tano and another Jedi named Kalifa, Sochek chased after O-Mer and Jinx, trying to shoot at them with his hover pod's machine gun. However, the two Jedi then escaped under some thick branches, avoiding Sochek and near death. Later the same night, a cargo ship carrying Chewbacca then crashed onto the shores of Island Four after being hijacked by the same Jedi, killing two members of the guild.
On his last day of being apart of the guild, the Jedi then kidnapped Smug and used him to contact Krix. As Krix arrived on the beaches, the Jedi then kicked him off his veichle and flew up to the Trandoshan fortress. This then caused a small battle to happen above Island Four of Wasskah. Sochek, who was hiding behind his hover pod during the whole battle, was the second to last casualty of the battle. As he shot at Chewbacca and Tarfful, Tarfful then shot Lo-Taren in the head. Sidetracked from his demise, The Jedi O-Mer and Jinx then force-pushed the hover pod out of the way, allowing Chewbacca to shoot the Trandoshan pilot, killing him instantly.
