In the year 3643 BBY , Brell ' s younger brother , Cam , decided to follow in his brother ' s footsteps and joined Nem ' ro ' s gang . Cam ended up fighting for Nem ' ro against rival Hutt Voontara Fa ' athra in an industrial town on Nal Hutta named Jiguuna , which Nem ' ro ruled . When Brell learned of his brother ' s choice , he attempted to rescue him from work in the gang . Brell tried to contact Rex Geer , who was the captain of Nem ' ro ' s street gang , and persuade him to release Cam from service . Due the gang war raging in Jiguuna between Fa ' athra and Nem ' ro , Brell could not reach his old acquaintance and so began searching for an individual who could . Brell found an Imperial - aligned individual in the Poison Pit cantina who was willing to help him save Cam . Brell offered the individual his knowledge of Nal Hutta ' s gang wars in return for help but was also willing to pay in credits . The individual successfully fought through Fa ' athra ' s men and reached Geer ' s safe house in Jiguuna , where he and Cam were believed to be . The individual discovered that Rex had , in fact , imprisoned Cam within a cage , along with three other prisoners , as the younger Brell had attempted to flee from the battlefield during a gun fight and join Fa ' athra ' s side . Rex intended to take him before Nem ' ro for questioning , and when the individual requested Cam ' s release , the captain offered the Imperial credits to leave Cam in his custody instead of bringing him back to Brell .
