Rikal Stargunner was a Human male who worked as a bodyguard for the Corporate Sector Authority member and aspiring crime lord Kaeline Ungasan. When his boss tried to subvert the Desilijic Hutts' financial control over the planet Ando Prime, Stargunner accompanied him. Ungasan had set up a new Podrace, the Ungasan Cross Country, as a front for an illegal mining operation, but the Podracer Ree, his accomplice, went missing. Stargunner and Ungasan later searched for Ree in Juaka Canyon, engaging in a firefight with the native Talids and a group hired by the Twi'lek Jer Blankuna.
