Akela T'sing was a scout who joined the Strikeforce Enteague almost a year into its conception. He never revealed his planet of origin but he spent many years in Wild Space and the Unknown Regions before being recruited by Drew Greyhelm.

During his tenure in the Strikeforce, Akela, along with star pilot Viveede Colore, discovered the mind-sucking creatures known as psych-parasites which had invaded and infected the freighter Quantum Leap, killing all hands aboard. After Akela and Viveede escaped, the Imperials corralled the dangerous beasts, extracting and refining an lethal enzyme that came to be known as hallucinogen-alpha.

During a mission to Solman, where Viveede lost his life to an ancient mind weapon, Akela and fellow scout Brett "Bloodhound" Baden recovered the Books of Racsis, the holy books of an Imperial-controlled world of the same name. Just prior to the Battle of Endor, Akela, accompanied by Phoenix Avalon, infiltrated Racsis to return the Books of Racsis back in the Racsis City Lycaeum. As a result the Racsis citizens revolted against the Imperials throughout the entire planet and the Empire lost their foothold on the planet.

After the fall of the Empire Akela disappeared with Brett Baden into the Unknown Regions once again never to be heard from again.
