Reckly

Reckly was a human from the moon of the Inner Rim planet Pijal who lived during the Republic Era. A Pijali musician trained to play the drums, Reckly chose to join the Opposition, a political performance troupe led by Halin Azucca that protested the signing of the Governance Treaty due to its support of the Czerka Corporation's continued exploitation of Pijal's resources.
In 40 BBY, the Pijali monarchy framed the Opposition for violent attacks on Czerka facilities, forcing the group into hiding on the planet's moon. While there, it discovered evidence that the Czerka attacks had been carried out by blackguards, a secret division of royal guards. Reckly and his colleagues helped the Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi escape from a blackguard confrontation to an Opposition hideout on the moon, where Azucca informed the pair of the troupe's framing.

The human musician Reckly hailed from the moon of the Inner Rim planet Pijal. He was trained to play the drums, a type of rhythmic musical instrument.Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know At some point during the Republic Era, Reckly decided to join the Opposition, a political performance troupe of Pijali natives led by Halin Azucca. For some time, the group hosted theatrical performances on Pijal that showcased its opinions on local issues while also being informative to the public. By 40 BBY,Star Wars: Timelines places the events of Master & Apprentice in 40 BBY. the Opposition began to protest the Governance Treaty, believing that the motion would cede irrevocable power to the Czerka Corporation, which had been exploiting the resources of Pijal and its moon for centuries.
That year, shortly after initiating several pranks to express their dissent of the treaty, members of the Opposition, including Reckly, were framed by the Pijali monarchy for several violent attacks on Czerka facilities. Due to the framing, the troupe members were forced into hiding on Pijal's moon, where they gathered evidence that the attacks blamed on the Opposition had been carried out by blackguards, a secret division of royal guards loyal to Pijal's Princess Fanry. During their mission to Pijal to investigate the Opposition, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, were attacked by blackguards while on the planet's moon. The Jedi's escape from their assailants was aided by members of the performance troupe, including Reckly.
Azucca led the Jedi and her colleagues to a nearby hideout, where she explained that the Opposition had entirely peaceful intentions. The troupe leader detailed that her organization's members had been framed for the recent attacks on Czerka facilities that had been committed by blackguards. A young Opposition member corroborated Azucca's claim to the Jedi, citing their members' innocuous former professions, including Reckly's training as a drummer. Azucca later gave Jinn a file containing evidence concerning the blackguards, which Reckly had helped collect, for use in the Jedi's investigation.

Despite the danger that came from being framed, the drummer opted to stay with the Opposition instead of turning himself in to Pijal's government.
