Hidden Beks The Hidden Beks were one of the more reputable and well liked swoop gangs established in the Lower City of the planet Taris led by Gadon Thek . During the Mandalorian Wars the Beks joined the Taris Resistance against the Mandalorians , but were forced to retreat down to the Undercity of Taris . The Hidden Beks faced increased pressure from one of the rival gangs , the Black Vulkars , when former gang member Brejik , joined the Vulkars , and turned the gang rivalry into a war waged on Lower City streets which claimed many lives . Former Jedi Knight and Sith Lord , Revan , encountered the Hidden Beks in 3956 BBY and they formed an alliance to end the war in the Beks favor and rescue the young Jedi Bastila Shan from the Vulkars .

During the Siege of Taris in 3963 BBY , during the Mandalorian Wars , the Beks launched counterattacks against the Mandalorian invaders and the fugitive crime lord Marn " Gryph " Hierogryph joined to help lead resistance . Gryph ' s companion , Jedi Padawan fugitive , Zayne Carrick later joined the Beks on Taris , although the gang remained wary of the Zayne since he was the declared orchestrator of the Padawan Massacre on Taris . However , Zayne proved himself trustworthy when he absolved the Hidden Beks of kidnapping the children of Noana Sowrs , the top law enforcement official on Taris . The Beks now believed they could be trusted to join the Taris Resistance lead by officials they used to be at odds against as a gang . However , their first meeting was interrupted when a member of the resistance , Shel Jelavan , fired on Zayne , but Gadon believed there was no way Zayne would murder kids and defended Zayne . The different parties resolved their differences for the time being and together planned an counter attack against the Mandalorian invasion leader , Cassus Fett , at the Jedi Tower . However , the Mandalorians discovered the plot and launched their own ambush . The surviving Beks hid in the Undercity of Taris in order to escape further attacks . Post - Mandalorian Wars .
