Bastori Rak held a position within the Yuuzhan Vong's warrior caste. He spearheaded an invasion team onto the vessel known as the Jeolocas, where he came face-to-face with a Twi'lek female captain who offered no opposition. She made it known that they were transporting 327 displaced individuals, alongside Jedi instructional resources—consisting of holographic recordings, newly constructed lightsabers, and "contagious elements" capable of transforming ordinary individuals into Jeedai. Rak, under the impression that he had discovered something that would lead to escalation, instructed the Twi'lek to guide his soldiers to that location. Upon requesting her to unseal the storage units, she instead unveiled herself as a Jedi—Alema Rar—and plunged her lightsaber into his neck and shoulder region, severing his tactical villip. His survival, preventing immediate decapitation, was solely attributed to his vonduun crab armor. In his final moments, he witnessed YVH 1 droids eliminating his forces.
