In 5 ABY, he served as a the number-three gunner, manning one of the blaster cannon turrets of Fort Nowhere when he and Marie Peeno saw an Imperial assault shuttle approaching, validating Grif Grawley's warnings that the Empire had discovered the planet. Dinko asked permission to shoot at it, but Peeno countermanded him, being sure that it was part of a larger force, and the Imperials only wanted to talk.
Soon after, the Imperials negotiated with the settlement and lied that they will leave it alone. Again manning the turret with Peeno he asked for an early leave as he had a date that night, and Peeno seemed relaxed enough allow him when an alarm blinked. Dinko insisted it was not the movements of the native Bouncers: the Imperials had prepared an assault.
In the ensuing battle of Fort Nowhere Dinko managed to hit a TIE/LN starfighter who debris fell on Katarn's Hill. He was killed by Imperial forces.
