Rebb

Rebb was a human who lived during the Imperial Era. Witnessing the Empire's forces firsthand, Rebb and their partner Stell decided to resist its rule in the hope of a better life and joined the disciples of the Jedi Padawan Ferren Barr. In 18 BBY, one year into the Galactic Empire's reign, Rebb was on the planet Mon Cala along with Barr, Stell, and four other acolytes of Barr's. That year, the Sith Lord Darth Vader and three Jedi-hunting Inquisitors went to Mon Cala in search of Barr and found the acolytes as they vacated their refuge. They were chased to the entrance of Mon Cala's Bel City, where Rebb and Stell stayed to hold off Vader and the Inquisitors.

As the Mon Calamari battled the Imperial forces, Barr used a hologram to explain to Rebb and the others that Vader was Anakin Skywalker, a once trusted Jedi Knight who betrayed and destroyed the Order and began hunting remaining Jedi alongside the Inquisitors. In response, Rebb insisted that they and the other disciples should be sent to destroy Vader and avenge the Jedi.

When Barr was informed by Lee-Char that Vader had discovered their hideout and was likely coming for them,Darth Vader (2017) 15 Barr immediately ordered his acolytes to evacuate. Planning to flee by swimming underwater, Rebb and the other disciples donned self-contained dive suits. After Barr directed them to flee the planet, the disciples left the refuge and traversed the water using Underwater Turbo Sled Pikes.
The group quickly encountered an Imperial submarine manned by Vader and his Inquisitors and immediately scattered, with Barr directing them toward the nearby Bel City. However, one of the acolytes, Nipaltoo, went toward Vader's submarine and attacked, only to have their helmet crushed with the Force by the Sith Lord, killing Nipaltoo. As Rebb and the others continued to flee, the acolyte Orvek bought them more time by attacking the submarine, but Orvek was also killed. The remaining group, including Rebb and Stell, reached Bel City, where Rebb decided to stay at the entrance to the city and fight, hoping to slow the Imperial forces down even more.
