Your initial "roll" is different from a "reroll". After you first roll your attack, you can acquire a target lock (which would replace the one you already have, if you have one already). Rerolling your dice doesn't trigger his ability.

Vessery's ability serves two purposes: First, you always have a target lock to reroll your dice for improved accuracy (assuming the target has a red lock from a buddy already), even if you're attacking twice e.g. from TIE/D or Cluster Missiles. Second, Vessery can spend his lock to fire a missile, roll dice, and immediately regain his lock for better accuracy (kinda similar to the munitions accuracy of "Redline"). If he also has a focus token, he's likely to roll max damage... great on some of the 4+ dice missiles, or cluster missiles.
