Meelak was an alleged member of the Nebari Establishment. In fact, he was a double agent who worked for the Nebari Resistance. Some time after Nerri had established himself as one of the leaders of the Nebari Resistance, Meelak infiltrated the Establishment, becoming part of Varla's team sent to track down Nerri. He was aboard her ship when it was attacked by a Peacekeeper patrol and was the only other survivor other than Varla herself. Like her, he was injured and scarred in the attack.
