Bey Bey was a male Human / Nagai hybrid from Corellia . He was a friend of Han Solo ' s and , growing up , he acted as a big brother to Solo , defending him from bullies and teaching him to fight . As a man , Bey took to a role as a rambling guardian , exploring the galaxy and helping those in need . During this time , Bey crash - landed on the planet of Nagi , where he met his long - lost mother , Krai H ' voc , and his half - brother , Ozrei N ' takkilomandrife . The Nagai were preparing for an attack on the Alliance of Free Planets and , wanting to aid his newfound family , Bey decided to help . Bey returned to Alliance space to act as a double agent for the Nagai . Joining Mandalore Fenn Shysa on his homeworld , Bey aided the Mandalorians in forming a resistance group to counterattack the advancing Nagai , earning their trust . Bey accompanied Shysa to the Rebels ' headquarters on the forest moon of Endor , using the position to figure out the Alliance ' s plan of attack against the Nagai . Bey was eventually found out during the Second Battle of Endor and fled from the Rebel base after a fight with Solo . After the Nagai joined forces with the Alliance following the Battle of Zeltros , Bey rejoined his former comrades under Admiral Gial Ackbar , working as an undercover agent to infiltrate the Tof . Following the end of the conflict , Bey began working for the New Republic Intelligence Service . Biography . Early life . Bey was born in 36 BBY on the planet of Corellia . His mother was Krai H ' voc , a Nagai advance scout that had entered Imperial space to judge whether the galaxy was ripe for invasion . H ' voc settled on Corellia during this time , but she inadvertently became romantically entangled with a Human while there . H ' voc eventually married the man and gave birth to Bey , but she couldn ' t stay on the world . When her Nagai superiors learned of the marriage , they ordered her to a different location and forced her to end the relationship . She returned to her people to report on the status of the galaxy , which was currently engaged in civil war , abandoning her son and his father in the process . Bey ' s father resented H ' voc for abandoning him , and he took out his rage out on his own son . As a near - Human hybrid , many people treated Bey as though he was less than a person — a brainless monster . However , even as a young man , Bey was much larger than his contemporaries , and he used his size to his advantage . By age seventeen , Bey had grown to his full height . Roughly the size of a Wookiee , Bey was an imposing figure , and he was perfectly capable of holding his own against others that might think of turning their prejudices into physical violence . After learning firsthand the cruelties that others could inflict upon one another , Bey often kept a lookout for those that were ganged up on . It was in this role that Bey first became acquainted with Han Solo during the events of the Clone Wars . While walking the streets of Corellia , Bey witnessed a nine - year - old Solo being bullied by several other boys his age . Although Solo tried to fight off the group all by himself , he was easily overwhelmed and soon fell victim to their vicious assault . Bey intervened in the fight , scaring off the gang and helping Solo up . From that point on , Solo became Bey ' s " little buddy , " and Bey began teaching Solo how to excel in hand - to - hand combat . Bey showed Solo how to fight with his head and not with his rage , explaining how his anger could easily be turned against him . As the two began to grow , Bey became an idol to Solo , someone whom the young man looked to for guidance . Around this time , Bey ' s father passed away , and Bey decided to join the Corellian Security Force . While working for CorSec , Bey won the Corellian Bloodstripe for his heroics , something that Solo was incredibly impressed by , and he vowed to emulate his friend . However , Bey ' s heroism was not just noticed by admirers . The newly formed Empire was attempting to arrest greater control over planetary police forces . Bey , as a half - alien hero of CorSec , did not fit with the Imperial ' s humanocentric views , and they planned for Bey ' s downfall . In what would prove to be Bey ' s final mission , the CorSec agent was involved in the evacuation of a passenger liner . A local terrorist group had rigged the transport with explosives , and Bey ' s efforts saved the lives of many . However , before Bey could escape the passenger liner , the bomb detonated . Bey was badly hurt , including losing his eyesight . When he awoke in the hospital , he was met by Solo , who informed him that he had permanently lost his left eye , but that his other eye could be fixed with a cybernetic implant . After weeks in recovery and extensive surgery , he was restored to health . After the procedures , Bey took to wearing an electronic red eye patch for his inoperable left eye , giving him a defining look for the rest of his life . However , the loss of his left eye was used as evidence that Bey was unfit for duty . Although other CorSec officers were allowed to remain in the force despite much worse injuries , bigoted Imperial officials made sure that the half - human hybrid would no longer have a career in the police force . Living legend . Following this incident , Bey began to explore the galaxy , moving from place to place , learning what he could and making friends where he could . Bey ' s travels were an excuse to search for his mother , hoping to find the truth behind her sudden abandonment of her family . Bey continued to assist those in need during his travels , giving him quite a reputation . As he roamed from planet to planet , Bey never asked for a reward for his feats , and eventually many parts of the galaxy treated him as some kind of mythic hero . However , during these exploits , Bey never felt truly at home . The people he came to help initially hesitated to accept him , judging whether or not he ' d be able to perform some heroics for them , before they treated him with kindness . However , after years of searching , Bey would eventually find his home . Using clues that had been left by his deceased father , Bey began searching near the Unknown Regions . Based on stories from other spacers , he learned of several mysterious spacecraft that would group together in a lifeless sector of space . Bey spotted one of these ships and followed it , eventually reaching Firefist , a satellite galaxy that contained the homeworld of his mother ' s people . Bad starship instruments and a stroke of luck brought him to the planet of Nagi , where he crash - landed . Bey was soon encountered by a Nagai resistance group that was busy fighting their " old enemy " , the Tof . To his surprise , the local Nagai accepted him without reservation , treating him as an equal . The Nagai who had discovered him quickly reunited him with his long - lost mother who was residing on a nearby Nagai colony world . Even though she had her own family there , including another son , Ozrei N ' takkilomandrife , she accepted Bey into her family . Bey was touched by the friendliness of the Nagai , and decided to join them . With the Galactic Empire reeling from its loss at the Battle of Endor , the Nagai were planning to begin their invasion . Bey agreed to help , using his reputation to infiltrate the larger galaxy and work as a double agent for his people . Infiltrating the Alliance . Bey returned to Alliance space and met up with Fenn Shysa on Mandalore . As the Nagai began to attack worlds near Mandalore , Bey aided Shysa in setting up resistance groups to the growing threat , using the opportunity to gain the Mandalorian ' s trust . Nagai analysts believed the Mandalorians would eventually join the Alliance , allowing Bey , as their spy , to infiltrate their enemy indirectly . Following the Battle of Mandalore , in which Bey played a part in the resistance , Shysa decided to appeal to the Alliance of Free Planets for help , following a request from Admiral Gial Ackbar for additional soldiers . Bey , realizing his chance to infiltrate the Alliance High Command was present , left Mandalore with Shysa and a contingent of Mandalorian Protectors . The group arrived at the Alliance ' s base on the forest moon of Endor and sought out Princess Leia Organa to see how they could help . However , when Shysa and Bey finally found Organa , she was involved in an argument with Han Solo over his role in the new government . When Solo grabbed the Princess to make sure his point was well heard , he was grabbed from behind and thrown to the ground . Shysa , believing that Solo was hurting Organa , had come to her rescue . As the Princess took Shysa aside to explain the argument and to debrief the Mandalorian on the current situation , Bey met up with his longtime friend , who had a bruised ego more than anything else . Bey teased his friend about his relationship with the Princess , reminding Solo that if he cared for the Princess , he needed to treat her well and tell her how he felt . Solo shrugged off the advice , claiming that Organa knew how he felt about her , ignoring Bey ' s advice . A short time later , Bey and Shysa joined the Princess aboard a GR - 75 medium transport shadowing the " Millennium Falcon " as it began to investigate mysterious balls of energy that had been appearing throughout the Moddell sector . When the " Millennium Falcon " approached one of the balls , a tendril of energy struck the ship , transporting it to a far - off world . Bey was puzzled by his friend ' s disappearance , but Solo eventually made his way back to the base . While away , Solo took Bey ' s advice to heart , and when he returned he told the Princess how he felt . Crisis on Godo . A short time after Solo returned , Bey accompanied him to the planet Godo along with Chewbacca and Ackbar . The native Godoan s were slowly dying out due to a strange technovirus that affected anyone who arrived on the world . To protect from the virus , Bey and the rest of the group took protective precontainment radiation baths before they landed on the planet . After unloading boxes of supplies for the ailing Godoans , Solo requested to look around , eventually coming upon the House of the Goddess , the most sacred building on the planet . As Bey and the rest of the travelers explored the building , Solo realized that the temple was a techno - organic construct . The structure was actually a machine designed to sustain life on the planet . However , two pieces from the building , the Dancing Goddess and the Minstrel , had been removed , rendering the machine inactive . Solo , having seen the two pieces during his smuggling days , and , believing them to be in Lando Calrissian ' s possession , raced back to the Alliance base to ask Calrissian for the two objects . Unfortunately for the Godoans , Calrissian did not have the pieces , one having been stolen by a gang led by Lemo and Sanda , two pirates who operated in the Outer Rim , and the other having been given to Barpotomous Drebble , a friend of the Alliance , as a gift . As Solo , Calrissian , Chewbacca , and Luke Skywalker left on a mission to retrieve the artifacts , Bey stayed with the Alliance Fleet , anticipating their return . In space , alongside Fenn Shysa , Bey watched as Solo and Skywalker returned with the Minstrel , and Calrissian and Chewbacca returned with the Dancing Goddess . With the two pieces replaced , the House of the Goddess began to function again , reviving the sick Godoans . However , in Calrissian ' s haste to bring the Dancing Goddess to the world , he had forgotten to take a precontainment radiation bath beforehand . Sick and near death , Calrissian ' s only chance revolved around being brought inside the House of the Goddess in hopes that it would cure him . Unfortunately for Calrissian , the Godoans , frightened over the possibility of the structure being defiled again , had sealed the House of the Goddess from all offworlders , effectively condemning Calrissian to death . Solo , furious over the turn of events , declared that he would open fire on the Godoans ' capital city and destroy their sacred building if they would not heal Calrissian . Although Ackbar condemned the action , Solo was able to secure the cooperation of several members of the fleet . Following encouragement by Bey , Shysa agreed to cooperate as well . Threatened with the destruction of their temple , the Godoans agreed to allow Calrissian to land , ending the crisis . Ackbar decided to overlook the actions of the complicit parties due to no harm being done , exonerating Bey and Shysa from blame . Nagai - Tof War . Following the crisis on Godo , Bey and his companions returned to the Alliance base on Endor . While many of the Alliance soldiers , including Solo and Shysa , began taking computerized flight exams , Bey sat out on the tests , never having been much of a starfighter pilot . Following the tests , a group of Hoojib s led by Plif discovered a secret from the Nagai captured in the Skirmish on Kabray . The Nagai were planning to attack the Alliance ' s base on Endor . Organa and her Zeltron attachés confirmed the report when they detected a large group of ships heading for the forest moon , and the Alliance prepared to evacuate . The Alliance Fleet readied itself to cover their evacuating personnel , but without the help of Solo and Skywalker . The earlier flight exams had categorized the two pilots as flying their craft in ways that no sane pilot would attempt . The computer would not allow either Solo or Skywalker to pilot a ship , keeping the two out of the upcoming fighting . As the Alliance scrambled to counter the Nagai threat , Bey used the distraction to help his true allies . Bey freed the Nagai prisoners , including his half - brother , N ' takkilomandrife . The Nagai commander took control of a Nagai task force , including Maccabree warriors that had landed secretly on the forest moon . Bey then turned over the Alliance ' s flight patterns to the Nagai fleet in space , led by the Dark Lady Lumiya . With the Nagai able to predict the Alliance Fleet ' s every move , preventing the Alliance Command from evacuating safely , N ' takkilomandrife ' s team was given time to advance on their position and take them out . The initial stages of the battle worked to perfection , allowing the Nagai to easily overwhelm their opponents . The Alliance Fleet , led by Shysa and Calrissian , were slowly wiped out , and Maccabree warriors under Lieutenant Hol B ' shaki attacked the tracking station , surrounding Organa and her Zeltron attachés , who struggled to fight back . However , Solo and Skywalker , who had been grounded , disrupted the plan . Exploring the forests on a tip from the Ewok Tippet , the two Alliance heroes came upon the Nagai ground forces ' staging point , discovering their plan . While Skywalker raced back to the Alliance headquarters to warn them of the ambush , Solo was attacked by a Maccabree warrior , losing his speeder bike in the process . Although he dispatched his attacker , Solo was forced to make his way back on foot , where he was cut off by Bey . Solo gestured frantically at his friend , requesting that he help him warn Organa before it was too late . After finding no help from Bey , Solo tried to shrug off the larger man , pushing him aside . However , Bey restrained Solo , informing him that he was the one who had brought the Nagai to the forest moon . Solo , shocked at the revelation , slowly reached for his blaster , only to have it knocked out of his grip when he tried to pull it out of its holster . The two stared each other down , with Solo declaring his intention to rescue his friends , even if he had to go through his old friend to do so . Solo tried a low leg sweep , but Bey vaulted the blow and kicked Solo in the face , leaving him sprawling on the forest floor . Bey explained to his friend how he had found his true family , and that they had accepted him as one of their own , triggering the betrayal . When Solo asked his friend what would happen next , Bey informed Solo that he had been ordered to kill him . However , Bey could not bring himself to murder his old friend , leaving both unsure of what was to happen next . However , at just that moment , Bey ' s half - brother appeared , claiming that he would finish what Bey had started , and trained his blaster on the unarmed Solo . However , before N ' takkilomandrife could pull the trigger , Bey threw himself at his brother , knocking him off balance . The Nagai quickly turned his blaster on Bey , preparing to execute the traitor , but he was once again prevented from firing the fatal shot as Solo hit N ' takkilomandrife in the stomach with a blaster shot . Bey ran to his injured brother , telling him to hang on until he could get him medical attention . Solo advanced on his injured enemy , telling Bey to step aside . However , Bey trained his brother ' s blaster at Solo , telling him to leave or he would shoot him . Solo was confused over Bey ' s actions , pointing out that the Nagai had nearly killed both of them . However , Bey remarked that he would be able to forgive his brother , though he realized that the Nagai might never forgive him . Solo left Bey to tend to his wounded brother , leaving to rescue Organa from the Nagai task force . With Bey revealed as the traitor , and the Alliance Fleet informed of their flight plans being discovered by the Nagai , the tide quickly turned . Calrissian abandoned all preconceived flight patterns , changing the course of the space battle , while Skywalker defeated the Nagai task force on the ground . Bey was able to get his brother back to the fleet , where he received immediate medical aid , and the Nagai fleet retreated in defeat . Bey , having betrayed both the Nagai and the Alliance , secretly turned himself into Admiral Ackbar . The Battle of Saijo . Bey correctly predicted his brother ' s reaction to the betrayal . He was thrown into a deep state of depression , even losing the will to live during his recovery . However , it was not long after N ' takkilomandrife ' s recovery that the Nagai joined forces with the Alliance during the Battle of Zeltros due to the arrival of the Nagai ' s old enemy , the Tof . The Alliance and Nagai began to slowly push the Tof back , eventually isolating them on the planet of Saijo . Hoping to infiltrate the Tof command , Ackbar formed an insertion team consisting of several proven Rebel agents , including Jan Ors and Kyle Katarn , and the mercenaries Dash Rendar and Guri . Ackbar requested for Bey to join this team , knowing the skills he possessed . Bey decided to work alongside the team , going undercover as a Tof noble . Bey ' s identity in the team was kept a closely concealed secret , knowing that both sides would find his appointment controversial . Using a wig and green face paint , Bey was able to pass himself off as a Tof , and soon he was working closely alongside the Tof Prince Sereno . Bey was present undercover when an Alliance group consisting of Solo , N ' takkilomandrife , Organa , Skywalker , Den Siva , and Dani entered Sereno ' s palace , posing as prisoners . However , their deception was revealed , and a shootout broke out in the throne room . Unfortunately for the Alliance operatives , the Dark Lady Lumiya was holding an audience with Sereno at the exact same time , and she used her Force abilities to turn the tide of the battle , stunning N ' takkilomandrife and disarming Organa . However , before she could kill either of them , Bey intervened , shooting Lumiya with a powerful blaster shot , badly crippling her and leaving her a smoking mess on the palace floor . As the rest of the group silenced any further resistance , Bey revealed his presence to the surprise of both Solo and N ' takkilomandrife . Bey ' s half - brother was touched by how his sibling had rescued him , and he came to forgive Bey for his betrayal . With the Tof Prince captured and their fleet defeated in space , the war was effectively over . End of the War . Following the end of the war , both Solo and N ' takkilomandrife reconciled with Bey . Bey did not join the Nagai in their quest to liberate their homeworld , leaving the operation up to his brother and Fenn Shysa . When the Alliance of Free Planets reformed itself into the New Republic , Bey joined up , taking a job with New Republic Intelligence . Bey believed this appointment to be apart of his atonement for the destruction he had been responsible for at Endor . It appeared that Bey ' s days of wandering were at an end . Personality and traits . Bey was a compassionate figure , and champion of the defenseless . Based on his abusive childhood , Bey swore not to emulate his wrathful father , and he developed a persona that was soft - spoken and sympathetic . He did not hesitate to rescue Han Solo from bullies during his early days and became well known for his helpful nature . Bey was a passionless fighter , refusing to let anger guide his actions during combat . However , even though he was known as a near mythological figure for the feats he had accomplished , Bey harbored feelings of resentment towards those that he rescued . As a young boy , he was spurned by his father , who was distraught over the loss of Bey ' s mother . Other Corellians looked down on Bey for being a half - breed , and young children feared him due to his odd looks and large size . Perhaps due to these factors , Bey could find no acceptance among the people he helped , and he began to see them as judgmental and unkind , saving their hospitality until they needed Bey to accomplish something for them . When Bey discovered his mother on her home planet of Nagi , Bey finally found the acceptance he had been looking for , and his desire for it even made him turn against the people of the Alliance . Working alongside the invading Nagai , Bey turned against those he had formerly fought to defend . However , Bey still retained his compassion , refusing to adopt the cold - hearted nature of his Nagai brethren . He was unable to kill Solo during the Second Battle of Endor , and his mercy brought him into conflict with his own half - brother . Following the end of the Nagai - Tof War , Bey was able to find his brother ' s forgiveness after saving his life in the Battle of Saijo . Bey ' s loving nature following this battle convinced Solo that the war was truly at an end . Behind the scenes . Bey was created by Mary Jo Duffy for use in the " Marvel Star Wars " comic " " , which explained that Bey was an old friend of Han Solo ' s . Several flashbacks in the following issue , " " , served to show how Bey had interacted with Solo during his young life . The next issue , " " was set before the events of Bey ' s first appearance in " Touch of the Goddess " , and it would be the last appearance of Bey until the last issue of the Marvel run , " " .
