R-0
This astromech droid was owned by Milinae, during the height of the Clone Wars. She later turned the droid over to Jedi Master Darrus Jeht, who gladly accepted its helped aboard the Legacy, and later, the Maelstrom. Jeht worried about R-0's tendancy to fabricate data, although the little droid's capacity for deception proved more than valuable in the wake of the Clone Wars.
After Darth Sidious issued the command to execute Order 66, Master Jeht barely escaped with his life. Hoping to forestall the inevitable, he programmed R-0 to cause a "communications shutdown" aboard the Maelstrom, in order to prevent his own clone troopers from receiving Order 66. He then returned to the Cularin System to help rescue any surviving Jedi from the Almas Academy. R-0 once again helped Master Jeht, this time creating background communicatioin "noise" that made it appear as if the Republic warships in the system were actually Separatist vessels flying under false transponder codes.
Although they managed to destroy the Republic gunships, the Maelstrom was too damaged to confront the Shadowblade when it entered the Cularin System. With his only option being to ram the Separatist vessel, Master Jeht ordered R-0 to take command of the Legacy and flee the system, taking the ship back to Milinae. Although R-0 protested, it obeyed Master Jeht's orders and took off.

R-1
This was the first of the reconnaissance droids produced by Arakyd. Developed to assist the cloen troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic, the R-1 droid could infiltrate an enemy position and then relay coordinates and other information to a remote location. This allowed the forces of the Old Republic to target Separatist locations from a great distance, with accuracy that could not be achieved with normal targetting systems.
(LAWS)
R-10
A series of droids designed by Lovolan, the R-10 was designed to work in households as party waiters, bartenders and drink mixers. They stood about a meter tall, and were box-shaped. Their top was made of a slab of marble surrounded by a brass railing. The marble top was specially charged so that drink glasses placed on it do not move around during transport. Four small casters allowed the R-10 to move in any direction smoothly, while a number of retractable manipulator arms allowed the R-10 to effortlessly mix any number of drinks. Also, the R-10 was programmed with routines that made it impossible to spill a drink or drop a glass.
(COJ, EGD)
R-19
This Nen-Carvon paraglider was designed with military use in mind. The frame was structurally more rigid without sacrificing weight, and was equipped with a number of stealth and sensor-baffling accessories. The R-19 also had brackets for equipment storage and weapons mounts. A low-level transponder was optional, and could help pinpoint a downed glider's position. A pull-down display visor helpe the pilot see in the dark.

R1-G4
This outdated R1-series astromech droid was refitted by its owner with a Mark II reactor drone's armored shell, at some point before the Battle of Yavin. Thus, R1-G4 was almost two meters tall. When its owner was captured, R1-G4 was abandoned. It was later recovered by the Jawas who captured R2-D2 and C-3PO, and was offered to Owen Lars.
(CCG, ICS, OWS)
R1-series Droid
This was the first true series of mass-produced astromech droids developed by Industrial Automaton, several decades before the onset of the Clone Wars. Following closely on the heels of the failed P2-series droid, the R1-series saved on development costs by reusing the shell of the Mark II reactor drone. The R1 series was equipped with a standard Intellex III computer, but its memory capacity limited the hyperspace calculations of the R1-series to a single jump. The primary drawback to the R1 series was its size, which relegated the droid to use aboard capital ships. However, much of the design work and feedback from the R1-series was used in the design and development of the R2-series droid.
(TNR, IG1, EGD, SWJ7, NEGD)
R1-T4
This astromech droid was part of a cargo shipped by Simms Jonndril to Janelle Seras on Seikosha, shortly after the Battle of Endor. R1-T4 contained coded information which contained instructions on how to find the Emperor's hidden weapons stores.
(POC)
R2(S5)
This prototype R2 Series 5 astromech was first used by Prince Isolder of Hapes. It was a gift from Leia Organa during her attempts to gain Hapan assistance following the Battle of Endor. Isolder used the R2(S5) droid in his Miy'til starfighter, Storm.

R-20
This was a form of scatterblaster that was produced by BlasTech, during the years that followed the Swarm War.
(FJ3)
R2-0
This R2-series astromech was believed to have been the original prototype developed by Industrial Automaton and the designers of the Intellex IV core system. The droid was acquired by Lady Aryn Dro Thul some five years after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, and was turned over to Jedi Master Luke Skywalker as a gift, to help him learn about his mother and clear his mind of any doubts as he moved forward with his plans to end the Swarm War. Known as ArOh, this droid was developed without input from the Empire, which was contrary to the misinformation that was being circulated about its origins and those of the Intellex IV core. Luke was surprised to be presented with the droid, especially since his own efforts to extract information on Padme' Amidala Skywalker from R2-D2 were not public knowledge. Lady Thul revealed that she had learned of Luke's struggle from Lowbacca and Tasar Sebatyne. Luke asked Ghent to look at R2-0, and the slicer was able to isolate the omnigate that would open up R2-D2's hidden stores of data. Ghent nearly managed to create a duplicate omnigate, but Luke became impatient and needed information immediately. Using the old gate, they were abel extract holograms captured by R2-D2 decades before, showing the final moments of Padme's life. The omnigate was too old to handle the load placed upon it, and it melted under the stress, thereby destroying the only known such omnigate and locking Artoo's memories forever.

R200
This was the designation of one of Koensayr's most powerful ion fission engines, produced during the early years of the New Order. Used on the BTL A4 Longprobe starfighters, the R200 was rated at 250 KTU.
(SCRE, XW, SWG2P)
R-200 Raptor
This Ikas-Adno speeder bike was designed to be a combination swoop and speeder bike. The development of the Raptor evolved into little more than a speeder engine strapped to a frame, with control vanes attached to provide manevuerability. The Raptor also placed the driver at the rear of the bike, with a simple safety bar to keep the driver in place. This allowed Ikas-Adno to give the Raptor a larger engine, and also gave the driver more manevuerability by allowing them to use their body weight to steer the bike. While these designs provided incredible speed, the prototypes of the Raptor were considered too dangerous for production. Despite early setbakcs, however, the Raptor was eventually produced shortly after the Battle of Endor, and became increasingly popular.

R-22 Spearhead
This arrow-shaped fighter was believed to have served as the design basis for the A-Wing starfighter. The R-22 was originally developed and produced by the Tammuz-an, for the naval forces of Mon Julpa.
(NEGC, CCS, TGD)
R-23
This was Nen-Carvon's recreational paraglider outfit. Like other paragliders, the R-23 was equipped with a light repulsor motor and frame-mounted hand controls. It wingspan was four meters across. The R-23 found use among paramilitary units, since it was very quite and was small and sleek enough to evade sensor sweeps.
(ROE)
R2-4B
This astromech droid was owned by Lorn Moonrunner, and was used to assist in flying the starship Refugee. R2-4B wore what appeared to be a standard restraining bolt, but Lorn had modified a detonation device to resemble the bolt. This was all a precaution taken in case the Empire should ever discover that Lorn - the former Imperial Major Corvus Langlier - was on Rhamalai. When this finally happened, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, R2-4B was confiscated and placed in the Imperial droid pool. When R2-4B had been placed in the garrison in Argona, it activated the programming which activated the detonator. The resulting explosion destroyed much of the Imperial garrison.

R2-B4
This astromech droid was dispactched by the Lady Amber Comark, acting as the Alliance agent Tigress, to assist an Alliance Special Operations team during their mission to expose the Death-Hunter project. A battered droid, R2-B4 was nonetheless feisty and loyal. It carried Comark's messages and orders to the Alliance team, and was instrumental in the mission.
(SWJ9)
R2-C3
This astromech droid was owned by the Alliance, and was infiltrated into the Imperial Sector Plexus station near Keltos IV. Its duties as an Imperial droid were to monitor the Plexus' computer networks for illegal intrusion. As an Alliance operative, Seecubed (as he was known to the Alliance) recorded information from the Plexus' computers and transmits important data to the Alliance.

R2-D1
This astromech droid was part of the droid pool that serviced the royal starship hangar at Theed Palace on Naboo, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. R2-D1 was among the many astromechs that were assigned to Queen Amidala's Naboo Royal Starship, when it blasted away from Naboo during the Trade Federation's invasion of the planet.
(SWI94)
R2-D2
An astromech utility droid, R2-D2 was used extensively during the time of the Old Republic as a starship maintenance droid within the Naboo droid pool. He was part of the contingent of astromechs which was aboard Queen Amidala's personal starship when she fled Naboo for Coruscant, shortly after the Trade Federation invaded the planet. When the ship was damaged while trying to run the Federation's blockade, R2-D2 and its companions were dispatched to repair the shield generators. Of the four astromechs dispatched, only R2-D2 managed to complete the work and return to the ship. He was rewarded by the Queen with a thorough cleaning, and accompanied her to Tatooine and Coruscant.
On Tatooine, R2-D2 made the acquaintence of the incomplete protocol droid C-3PO, which was being constructed by Anakin Skywalker. Although their encounter was brief, it set the tone for future meetings. After the Battle of Naboo, in which R2-D2 helped young Anakin destroy the Federation's droid control ship, R2-D2 was thrust upon the intergalactic scene. R2-D2 accompanied Padme' almost everywhere she went, and his knowledge of starship programming made him an invaluable resource to the flight crews of the Republic. R2-D2 was reuntied with C-3PO when Padme' and Anakin traveled to Tatooine to see Anakin's mother, Shmi. After Shmi died, C-3PO was reclaimed by Anakin, and accompanied Anakin and R2-D2 to Geonosis, in an effort to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi. After Anakin and Padme' were married, Padme's gave R2-D2 to Anakin as a gift. Anakin spent his free time upgrading Artoo's subsystems, adding all manner of interfaces and devices to the little droid's already impressive arsenal. Anakin also made sure that the little droid never received a memory wipe, so that it could remember certain tactics and maneuvers.
In the aftermath of the Clone Wars, R2-D2 managed to avoid the mandatory memory wipe that was given to C-3PO by Bail Organa. It was later discovered that some of Anakin's modifications allowed Artoo to never reveal more that it knew, thus allowing it to keep secrets and remember much of its history. Years later, when the Alliance decide that it was time to break away from the Empire and launch an all-out attack, they used Artoo as a decoy. They figured that most people - even the Imperials - wouldn't suspect that a lowly astromech droid was carrying the top-secret plans to the first Death Star.
When the consular ship Tantive IV was intercepted while trying to reach Obi-Wan Kenobi on Tatooine and deliver the plans to him, Artoo's mission was modified. Instead of just holding the Death Star plans, he was also programmed by Princess Leia Organa to seek out Obi-Wan and enlist his aid without human assistance. Artoo jettisoned from the ship along with his good friend, the protocol droid C-3PO, and they landed on Tatooine. After being sold at a Jawa auction to Luke Skywalker, Artoo inadvertently showed Luke a portion of the holographic recording Leia had made. Artoo couldn't trust Luke with the whole message, and sought Obi-Wan himself.
This led to Artoo's almost being destroyed by the Sand People, but Obi-Wan rescued them. Upon hearing the message, Obi-Wan booked passage aboard the Millennium Falcon, and Artoo was brought to the engineers on Yavin 4 to dump the information on the Death Star. Following the Battle of Yavin, Artoo had to be refitted a number times from damage sustained as Luke's X-wing astromech droid. Artoo nevertheless remained a loyal droid, lending his assistance whenever necessary. He accompanied Luke on virtually every mission the young man was given, and also accompanied Luke to Dagobah to locate Yoda. While on Dagobah, Artoo was nearly swallowed by a swamp creature, but proved too hard to consume. Later, on Cloud City, Artoo was separated from Luke during the search for Han Solo, and helped Leia, Chewbacca, and Lando Calrissian escape the city after Darth Vader had it garrisoned.
During the Battle of Endor, Artoo was part of Han Solo's strike team, dispatched to the Forest Moon to assist in disabling the shield generator that was protecting the second Death Star. Decades later, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Artoo and Threepio both had reason to wonder about the true meaning of life and existence, as the alien invaders hated all forms of technology, especially droids, which the Yuuzhan Vong deemed blasphemous simulacrums of life. When the Yuuzhan Vong finally surrendered at Coruscant, the droids found that there was another trait they needed to confront: obsolescence. The two droids agreed that they would meet this and any other challenge just as they always had, with each other.
However, Luke and Leia were not about to give up the services of their most trusted droids, and R2-D2 continued to serve Luke during his travels for the new Jedi order. However, about five years after the Yuuzhan Vong were defeated, Artoo began to show some serious glitches. The droid forgot where it was, and was prone to miscalculations in its hyperspace routes, all of which worried Luke. A diagnostic showed several of Artoo's deep memory banks had sequestered as private, and were causing blocks of information to be lost. Luke tried to bypass them, only to stumble upon another holographic recording of a woman. This time, Luke asked Zakarisz Ghent to extract the full recording. Ghent explained that there were only two ways to get it: wipe out R2-D2's personality sectors, or locate the designer of the Intellex IV droid brain and learn the backdoor methods for reaching hidden or damaged sectors. Luke refused to wipe out Artoo's memory, and decided to search the old Imperial archives for the Intellex IV design manual.
Eventually, Luke had to admit defeat in this pursuit, and chose to keep R2-D2 intact, rather than risk ruining the droid in his search for information about his family. R2-D2 and C-3PO continued work together through the era of the Swarm War, although R2-D2 found itself more often than not grounded during space battles. Most modern starfighters had droid sockets for R7- or R9-series astromechs, which had more storage capacity and could handle the additional demands of keeping their advanced systems operational. Luke eventually gave R2-D2 a memory upgrade that allowed the droid to serve as his astromech co-pilot aboard a StealthX fighter.
Unfortunately, this put R2-D2 aboard Luke's fighter during the defense of Kashyyyk, when Jacen Solo chose to attack the planet during the Battle of Kuat. Luke had grown increasingly aware of Jacen's fall toward the Dark Side of the Force, and staged his own death to gain access to Jacen's flagship, the Anakin Solo. The blast destroyed his StealthX and appeared to consume him with it, and R2-D2 was believed to have been lost as well. Luke, however, had ensured Artoo's survival, and hid the droid in a hangar while confronting Jacen.
In the decades following the war against The Confederation, R2-D2 was passed down from generation to generation within the Skywalker family, until the droid was recovered by Jedi Master K'kruhk, in the wake of the Massacre at Ossus. The Whiphid later turned the droid over to Cade Skywalker, some seven years later, when Cade set off to rescue Hosk Trey'lis. Rather than put the droid to work in its true capacity, however, Cade chose to rely on his own skills and knowledge. This didn't go over too well with R2-D2, and the droid constantly pestered Cade about the quality of his piloting skills. In the weeks that followed, R2-D2 was relegated to menial duties aboard the Mynock, and was left aboard the ship when Cade and his friends traveled to the Hidden Temple on Taivas. When Cade decided to take on the assassination of Darth Krayt, R2-D2 was not about to let Cade leave alone. When Antares Draco and Ganner Krieg asked to join the mission, R2-D2 overrode the locks on the ship so that the Imperial Knights could volunteer their skills.

R2-series Droid
The second model in Industrial Automaton's R series of astromech droids, the R2 was considered the most popular series ever produced, since it interfaced with most of the starships in production and was small enough to fit on a starfighter. IA promoted the R2-series with the slogan, "No job was over this little guys head."
It was first introduced during the final decades of the Old Republic, quickly becoming popular among independent starship owners and remaining in active production well beyond several other, later R-series models.
Where the R1-series was housed in a reused Mark II reactor drone shell, the R2-series was produced with its own unique body. Resembling a trash can or small barrel, the cylindrical body of the R2 unit was supported by three legs. Two legs were mounted at the sides, and could be used for "walking" into position. The third leg was retractable, and could be stored in the lower body until needed. When moving about on all three legs, the R2-series tipped its body back to deploy the third leg, and moved about by rolling along. Additionally, Industrial Automaton installed short-range jetpacks from Brooks Propulsion Devices on the two primary legs, allowing the R2 unit to reach places that were not attainable by rolling or walking.
The hemispherical head of the R2 unit rotated atop the body, and was equipped with a variety of receptors and sensors as well as an Intellex IV computer core that allowed it to accurately calculate several hyperspace jumps. The body contained a variety of tools and interfaces that allowed the droid to perform complex repairs to all manner of starship systems.
While the R2 series as a whole was exceptionally reliable, Industrial Automaton was forced to issue several statements about the jetpacks installed in the legs, since they tended to degrade over time and were only reliable for fifteen to twenty years. Imperial propaganda later claimed that the R2-series and the Intellex IV computer core used in its production were actually designed and developed by the Empire some five years before the Battle of Yavin, and this misinformation remained prominent for nearly four decades, until the existence of R2-0 was proven when the droid was recovered by Lady Aryn Dro Thul. Note that The New Rebellion indicates that the R2 series was sixteen models outdated within 25 years.

R2-V0
This astromech droid was owned by Ixsthmus, and served the Ithorian aboard the Long Shot. R2-V0 was disassembled over 50 times by the ship's so-pilot, Siene Symm, to repair the continuous stream of nonsense that issues from R2-V0's sound actuator. Symm was convinced that the actuator system was faulty, but had been unable to repair it. This was because the sounds were not the result of a defect. R2-V0 was simply a poet, and he creates the sounds because they sound nice together.

Qa'till took control of the droid, and eventually placed it in his labor pool on Hypotria, where Qa'till controlled all the starship maintenance operations. Toozy remained loyal to the Alliance, however, stealing information from starships which land on Hypotria and relaying important data to the Alliance. It was Toozy who tipped off Koedi Raef to the Empire's movements near Vilosoria, during the Alliance's liberation of the planet. Raef was awarded the Rohal Cross for the successful liberation of the planet, but Raef refused the award and deferring it to Toozy.

R3-D Series Droid
This astromech droid was developed during the last decades of the Old Republic, to assist on starfighters with target acquisition and management. The use of an R3-D droid allowed the pilot to concentrate on flying the craft. The original design of the Aethersprite-class interceptor called for an R3-D astromech.

R3-D3
This aqua-blue astromech droid was one of the many technician droids that were owned by Star Tours, during the Galactic Civil War.
(ST)
R3-K8
This R3-series astromech droid was assigned to the droid pool aboard the New Republic corvette FarStar, during the search for Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne. R3-K8 was unusual in that it had been fitted with an astromech voice box, to better communicate with its living counterparts.
(DARK)
R-3PO
This copper-colored protocol droid served the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. R-3PO was once owned by the smuggler Chaz, who left the droid behind during a mission and never returned to retrieve it. Major Palo Torshan had R-3PO programmed to search out and identify espionage droids which the Empire had infiltrated into Alliance bases. R-3PO was stationed at Echo Base, on Hoth, where its garish paintjob caused many undercover Imperial agents to disregard its presence. R-3PO had the words "Thank the Maker" tattooed on its left posterior plating.
(CCG3, SWI74)
R3-S6
This gold-and-black astromech droid, distinguished by the two horizontal stripes on its dome, was assigned to Anakin Skywalker after R2-D2 was lost during the Battle of Bothawui. Distinguished by its slow mode of communication, R3-S6 was nicknamed Goldie by Ahsoka Tano, because of its coloration. R3-S6 was one of many imperfect astromechs that were forced into service during the Clone Wars. Unknown to Skywalker and Rex, R3-S6 was also a spy droid that was programmed by the Separatists. The droid had been captured and taken to the planet Milagro, where it was reprogrammed to serve as a spy. Many of the glitches that Skywalker experienced with the droid were actually cover for the droid's illicit activities. For instance, when Anakin and Ahsoka boarded the Vulture's Claw to see if Gha Nachkt had recovered R2-D2 from the wreckage of the Battle of Bothawui, R3-S6 "accidentally" activated a pair of IG-series assassin droids. This ensured that Skywalker did not learn that R2-D2 was actually aboard the ship. During a mission to eliminate a Separatist listening post, Anakin ordered R3-S6 to activate the scanners aboard his Delta-7B fighter, but R3-S6 instead activated a long-range tracking beacon. In order to escape from General Grievous, Anakin then ordered R3-S6 to get the starfighter's hyperdrive ready, but R3-S6 shut down the engine systems instead.
Later, during the mission to destroy Skytop Station, R3-S6 was brought along to help the assault team get past the station's defenses. Instead of bringing down the ray shielding that protected the main reactors, R3-S6 slammed the protective blast doors shut, then alerted General Grievous of the assault team's presence. When Grievous attacked Ahsoka Tano, she fled with R3-S6, hoping that the droid would help her find a way out. Instead, R3-S6 turned on its spotlight and illuminated her position, at which point Ahsoka realized that R3-S6 was a spy droid. With Ahsoka under control, R3-S6 did its best to trap Anakin and the other clone troopers in their hangar bay. Anakin had rescued R2-D2, and the group were trying to reach the Twilight. As the Jedi and the clones engaged Separatist battle droids, the two astromech droids found themselves in a duel. The station began to tear itself apart, as detonators placed by the clones began to explode around the main reactor. The shuddering station gave R2-D2 a chance to escape, and the astromech tried to fly away by firing its rocket boosters. R3-S6 used its tow cable to reign in R2-D2, but the blue astromech used its saw to cut the cable. As R2-D2 was rescued by Skywalker, R3-S6 plummeted to the surface of Ruusan's moon, and was destroyed in the resulting impact.

R3-series Droid
The R3 series of astromech droids from Industrial Automaton was designed as a military version of the successful R2-series. It had more memory and advanced circuitry than either of its predecessors, the R1- and R2-series astromechs, making the R3-series more efficient at calculating hyperspace jumps. The R3 was given a clear plastex dome as a marketing move, allowing owners to literally "see" the droid working on solutions. The specialization of the R3-series was further marked by the fact that could not be fitted into the same astromech socket as the R2-series, limiting its applicability to military capital ships. However, its high pricetag made the series highly profitable. Note that Star Wars Insider, issue 76, indicates that the R3 was considered a scout droid.

R-444
This was the designation of Nen-Carvon's sky swooper. The R-444 was essentially a repulsor-equipped hang glider, and they were armed with a single blaster. The pilot rests in a sling, and controls the flight of the glider with hand and foot controls. The vigilance needed to concentrate on all aspects of controlling flight makes firing the blaster difficult. The R-444 were primarily used by Imperial troops on stealth raids, or on planets with difficult terrains. The overall unit measures 4 meters in length.

R4-B11
This agromech droid was controlled by Slythor the Squib shortly after the Battle of Yavin, although Slythor soon tired of R4-B11's inability to handle even the simplest of tasks. R4-B11 was known to be cranky and destructive, and Slythor had it disassembled and rebuilt to his own specifications as an assassin droid. The familiar appearance of the agromechs allowed R4-B11 to get close to its targets, and Slythor often added R4-B11 as part of a trade whenever Slythor wanted to recover what he gave away. Once "sold," R4-B11 would kill its new owners and return to Slythor, at which time the Squib would recover the other objects.

R4-D1
This was one of the two astromech droids used by Darrus Jeht aboard his Delta-6 fighter, during the height of the Clone Wars. The Delta-6 was one of several prototypes that remained in active use after the production of the Delta-7, and Jeht chose to leace the two-astromech set-up intact. However, R4-D1 and its companion, R4-D2, often provided more input data than the ship's flight computer could handle, causing certain instabilities to occur at the worst of times. The droids also tended to argue with each other over their input, causing another set of problems. Jeht, however, liked the unpredictability of the craft, and kept it at the Almas Academy along with the Night Gyre.

R4-G9 replaced the trusty astromech R4-P17, which had been destroyed during the First Battle of Coruscant. Luckily for Obi-Wan, in his distrust of droids and flying, he had performed several dumps of R4-P17's computer core to that of R4-G9, ensuring that his entire flying history was recorded. On Utapau, Obi-Wan had R4-G9 fly off in control of the Jedi's starfighter, in an effort to fool General Grievous into believing that Obi-Wan himself was leaving the planet.

This astromech droid was purchased by an Outer Rim scavenger many decades prior to the Battle of Yavin. Over time, R4-J1 developed an unusual trait that caused it to jury-rig the devices and equipment it was supposed to properly repair. R4-J1 also developed a scavenging routine of its own, often scouring junkyards for parts it "might need later." Despite its quirks, R4-J1 was nevertheless an excellent mechanic.

R4-P Series Droid
This series of astromech droids was developed during the last decades of the Old Republic. These astromechs were used in place of R3-D series astromechs whenever a pilot was skilled enough to handle the weaponry of their starfighter, even during a dogfight or evasive maneuvers. The R4-P also was the standard astromech that was shipped with the Aethersprite-class light interceptor.
(E2N, SSOG)
R4-P17
This R4-P series astromech droid was owned by Obi-Wan Kenobi, and was used on his Jedi starfighter Delta-7, some ten years after the Battle of Naboo. It started out as a standard R4-unit, including the truncated conical head, which was operating on the planet Gyndine. R4-P17 had a female personality, and was nearly destroyed when she fell into a trash compactor and later scrapped. Anakin Skywalker discovered the unit and rebuilt it for use as an astromech droid. Because of the extensive damage caused by the compactor accident, R4-P17 was rebuilt with a smaller main body and the dome of an R2-series astromech. It eventually became the prototype of the astromech used for the Aethersprite-class interceptor, being further reduced in size and serving as a dedicated astromech to the ship.
After the Battle of Geonosis, R4-P17 and Obi-Wan's starfighter were recovered from Geonosis, and R4-P17 was restored to its former configuration, complete with a body and legs. R4-P17's replacement was destroyed, along with Obi-Wan's starfighter, some six months before the First Battle of Coruscant, when Obi-Wan rescued Quinlan Vos from the Titavian IV. R4-P17 was then restored to active duty when it was placed in the astromech socket of Obi-Wan's Eta-2 Actis Interceptor during the First Battle of Coruscant. Unfortunately, a buzz droid managed to latch onto Obi-Wan's fighter and ripped the dome off R4-P17, rendering the droid useless and forcing Obi-Wan to pilot the ship by himself.

R4-series Droid
Produced by Industrial Automaton, the R4-series of astromech droids was developed for ground-based use by civilians who needed repair and maintenance of landspeeders and other repulsorlift vehicles. In an unusual move, Industrial Automaton targetted the R4-series specifically for the Outer Rim market, trying to capture the interest of the so-called "garage jockey" who needed an astromech to help with repairs. Based on the R2 series but with fewer astrogation capabilities, the R4 was successful because it was cheap and reliable, meeting the needs and requirements of its target audience. It utilized the existing Intellex IV droid brain, which was populated with repulsorcraft designs instead of starship information. Note that the HoloNetNews.com website indicates that the R4-series was designed as agromech droids.

R5-D4
Often simply referred to as Red, this Industrial Automaton droid was one of the last R5 units ever built. Red was purchased by Owen Lars from the Jawas, just before he purchased C-3PO. R5-D4's motivator (or servomotor-central) blew just after purchase, so Owen ended up buying R2-D2 instead. The Star Wars Radio Drama explains that R2-D2 modified R5-D4 so that its would motivator would fail, drawing attention to himself. R5-D4 then spent a number of days riding along inside the Jawa's sandcrawler, until the sandcrawler was attacked by Imperial forces looking for R2-D2 and C-3PO. R5-D4 was in no condition to move, and bided his time until another group of Jawas came by to claim the left-over machinery. R5-D4 made it back to Mos Eisley, where he was purchased by Voren Na'al and reprogrammed. With the help of Momaw Nadon, Na'al sold R5-D4 to the local Imperial prefect's assistant administrator. There, R5-D4 recorded everything was heard and saw, holding the data until it could be recovered by Nadon. After the Battle of Yavin, it was rumored that R5-D4 had some sensitivity to The Force, although this was never proven. There was a story of a Jedi droid named Skippy that matched R5-D4's description.

The fifth in the R series of astromech droids built by Industrial Automaton, the R5 was cheapest and - understandably - the lowest-quality of the entire series. The R5 series was commissioned by Industrial Automaton's President, Julynn Kentas, with minimal market testing to determine whether or not the public needed or wanted another astromech droid. The R5s were somewhat quirky, and developed sour, bitter personalities as they aged unless they received regular memory wipes. Because of its problems and the lack of public acceptance, the R5-series of astromechs was considered a monumental flop, and was the last Industrial Automaton astromech produced during the New Order. Note that the HoloNetNews.com website indicates that the R5-series was discontinued just before the Clone Wars.

Part of the prestigious series of Industrial Automaton astromech droids, the R7 was designed shortly after the Battle of Endor to work with the new FreiTek E-wing fighters. The development of the R7 series was a corporate secret, and occurred during the media blitz that surrounded its civilian-model "predecessor," the R6 series. The R7 bore a slight resemblance to the R2 unit, having two permanent legs and one retractable leg. These astromechs had a different body shape, though, which prohibited their use on other starfighters. This design change also pregvented the use of the R7-series in an X-Wing or Y-Wing. The R7 could hold up to fifteen hyperspace jump coordinates in its memory, and their shells were heavily shielded against electrical discharges.

RA-7
This was a model of fifth-degree primary programming, low-intelligence protocol droid produced by Arakyd for the Empire. Many droid experts questioned the RA-7's classification as a fifth-degree droid, given its subsequent history, and reclassified them as third-degree droids. These automatons became known as "Death Star Droids" because huge numbers of RA-7 units were ordered as part of the droid pool for the first Death Star. Humanoid in shape, with insectile plating, they were commonly given as gifts to nobles and high-ranking officials. Arakyd stood behind the RA-7 despite the fact that their cognitive programming and technology was discovered to have been a generation out of date. Despite the lack of capability, as exploited by Arakyd's competitors, the RA-7 nonetheless met every specification of the Empire, and was produced in huge numbers for the Empire. The reason for this was simple. RA-7s were order by the Imperial Security Bureau, and reprogrammed to act as spies to keep records on the activities of Imperial bureaucrats and dignitaries. The droid's normally-sealed internal components led many to believe that they couldn't be tampered with, until hidden cameras and surveillance comlinks were discovered to be hidden within their shells. Because the droids were given as gifts by their superiors, most Imperial officers who received an RA-7 were forced to accept the droid, rather than risk the trouble that would have followed. These individuals did their best to relegate their RA-7s to little-used rooms in their residences or offices, in the hopes that the droid would be unable to perform its true function. The RA-7 proved to be an excellent spy, and many slothful or corrupt Imperial officials were removed from their positions because of the information they returned to the ISB.

Raabakyysh
This young, female Wookiee was a friend of Sirrakuk. Known to her friends as Raaba, she was distinguished by the deep chocolate color of her fur. As a young Wookiee, Raaba became enamored of Lowbacca, Sirra's brother. When Lowie chose to pursue his own rite of passage, he gave Raaba several ideas on how to prove herself. When Lowie later joined the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, Raaba believed that the only way she was going to get off Kashyyyk and into the spacers' school she wanted to attend was to perform her own rite of passage. Both Raaba and Sirra dreamed of making a name for themselves as pilots, although Raaba wanted to be an explorer rather than a pilot, charting new hyperspace routes.
She and Sirra agreed to leave secretly and return home as adults, but Raaba took off into the lower jungles by herself. She hoped this show of bravery would win Lowie's heart. Unfortunately, Raaba was injured just after beginning her tests, and only her bloody backpack was found by those Wookiees who searched for her. Raaba had decided to get off-planet and set out on her own, rather than return to her village in disgrace. She stowed away on a Talz freighter, and vowed not to return until she had proven herself. Lowie carried a secret burden over her disappearance, feeling somewhat responsible for giving her the idea to prove herself.
It was later learned that Raaba had left Kashyyyk, and that the Talz who had helped her recover had introduced her to the Second Imperium and the Diversity Alliance. Raaba used her talents as a pilot for Nolaa Tarkona, who quickly instilled the beliefs of the Diversity Alliance into Raaba's thinking. Even after being reunited with Lowbacca and Sirra, Raaba refused to think poorly of Nolaa Tarkona and the Diversity Alliance. She traveled to Kashyyyk and called for a gathering in the Great Tree Arena, where she called upon the Wookiees to join the Diversity Alliance. Many Wookiees remembered the Empire's occupation of Kashyyyk, and agreed with her words. Others remained skeptical, and the Wookiees were unable to come to an agreement.
It was only after learning that Tarkona had planned to use the Emperor's Plague to destroy all humans in the galaxy did Raaba begin to question her own beliefs. When she discovered that Tarkona was infected with one of Evir Derricote's viruses, Raaba took the Twi'lek on a blind hyperspace jump and disappeared. Raaba then landed on a remote world and quarantined them, in hopes that the virus never spread to the rest of the galaxy.

Raas, Ahri
This Keshiri boy was one of the few members of his race to be chosen to join the Sith Tribe that evolved on the planet Kesh. Ahri Raas was a friend of Vestara Khai, and although she was bonded to an uvak and he was not, Ahri remained very close to Vestara throughout their training. Ahri was eventually chosen by Master Yuvar Xal for formal training as an Apprentice, although the choice was made in an attempt by Master Xal to better his own position within the Tribe. Unknown to Ahri, Master Xal had hoped that Ahri's relationship with Vestara would involved communication between the Apprentices about their Masters, allowing Lord Xal to gain some insight or information about Lady Rhea that could be used to his advantage. However, Ahri and Vestara were able to maintain their friendship while training, and Lord Xal gained nothing useful. Over time, Xal became more and more disappointed with his Apprentice, despite the fact that Ahri was skilled with a lightsaber and had a strong connection to the Force. Ahri continued to serve faithfully, despite the frequent disinterest shown by his Master, and was among the Sith that were assigned to the crew of the Eternal Crusader when it was dispatched to locate the Sith meditation sphere known as Ship.
Ship led the Sith to the Maw cluster, where is tried to hide on a jungle-covered planetoid. Lady Rhea led an expedition to the planetoid, but Lord Xal demanded to join the landing party. Ahri accompanied his Master, but was ordered to remain behind when Xal set off in search of Ship on his own. When he didn't return Ahri explained what had happened to Lady Rhea and Vestara, and they set out to locate Xal. They found his body in a cave, where it had been wrapped in a cocoon of purple-colored silk by some unknown creature. Ahri drew his lightsaber and began to free his Master, when a strange woman appeared in the cave. Ahri tried to defend his fellow Sith and turn his lightsaber on the woman, but she merely flung him against the cave wall, where Ahri's head struck with enough force to render him unconscious. The strange woman turned out to be the Force presence known as Abeloth, who claimed to have no knowledge of Ship or its reasons for being on the planetoid. The search for Ship took the Sith to a wide river, and Lady Rhea was nearly killed when siphon reeds tried to drag her underwater. Vestara Khai leaped into the water to save her Master, and Ahri used the Force to carry them clear of the water, much to the chagrin of Master Xal.
However, Lady Rhea's apparent inability to protect the Sith gave Lord Xal a chance to curry favor with Abeloth, at least until Abeloth managed to gain control of Lady Rhea as well. It was Vestara Khai who managed to bring Lady Rhea back to reality, and they were able to break Abeloth's spell and get the Sith back to the Eternal Crusader. Once aboard the ship, the Sith headed for Sinkhole Station, where they believed Luke Skywalker would be found. Lady Rhea planned to kill Skywalker and eliminate him as a threat, but Master Xal planned to capture him and bring him back to Kesh. Thus, once aboard Sinkhole Station, Ahri tried to deal with the Skywalkers while Lord Xal tried to kill Vestara and Lady Rhea. However, Vestara had anticipated Xal's attack, and was able to stab him in the abdomen with her shikkar. The injury was fatal, but Xal's screams of pain and frustration distracted Ahri. A lightsaber appeared in the air and sliced Ahri in two, killing him instantly.

Rabaan
This planet was the fourth world in the Ishanna System. It had a single moon known as the Combat Moon, on which the humans of Rabaan and the S'krrr have settled their differences in armed combat. A temperate world, Rabaan was settled by a group of Corellian explorers some 7,300 years before the Galactic Civil War. It was named for the expedition's leader. They thought the system was devoid of life, until they discovered the S'krrr living on the third planet in the system. The average day on Rabaan lasted 27 standard hours, and its year encompasses 375 local days.
(SWJ9)
Rabaan
This ancient Corellian explorer supposedly rejected the typical Corellian life of a spacer and chose to remain on a planet. Of course, this history was questionable, since it was known that one of Rabaan's planetary expeditions settled the planet Rabaan (named for him) in the Ishanna System.
(SWJ9)
Rabaanite
This was the name given to the human inhabitants of the planet Rabaan. They have a fairly rigid caste system which glorifies warriors. The warrior caste was highly regarded, due mainly to the fact that the strongest Rabaanite warrior was sent to the Combat Moon to battle the strongest S'krrr whenever a dispute between the two races arises. This combat was initiated about 1,000 years after the planet Rabaan was colonized, and continued through the reign of Emperor Palpatine. The Rabaanites frown on public displays of affection, especially among couples who have not been Promised to each other. Upper-eschelon Rabaanite warriors were awarded a red bandoleer. The best of these warriors was awarded a sunburst sigil which was attached to the bandoleer. The best of the combat artists was chosen to represent Rabaan in Combat.

Rabbit's Foot
This was the N-class freighter, a modified WUD-5000, owned by Jaxxon. The ship was refitted with a pair of quadlaser cannons and two ion cannons for weaponry, along with improved hull plating and shields. Jaxon first purchased the ship on Nar Shaddaa, but even after refitting it was a troublesome ship to operate. Mechanical problems forced Jaxxon to land on the planet Aduba-3, where he was stranded until he could scrounge up replacement parts. It was on Aduba-3 that Jaxxon met Han Solo and Amaiza, and helped them defeat Serji-X Arrogantus. He and Amaiza then teamed up to make several smuggling runs with the Rabbit's Foot before being jumped by Valance's goons. They raced Valance to Aduba-3, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, but the Rabbit's Foot was shot down in a brief firefight over the planet.

Radark
This burrowing parasite was originally native to the planet Bothawui, but was discovered on many other planets in Bothan Space after grain shipments inadvertently contained individual radark nests. The average radark was a two-meter-long, snake-like reptile that spent its entire life burrowing through the earth. Because a radark never stopped moving, a small group could burrow through a square kilometer of earth in about a year. This constant burrowing caused sinkholes and other depressions in the wilderness, and could undermine the substructures of buildings in more urbanized areas. For this reason, radarks were considered vermin by the Bothans, who did everything they could to wipe them out. The average radark was a limbless creature, whose body was covered with flat, scale-like spines. These spines were used to move the radark through the ground, as they were connected to the complex musculature of the radark's body. These spines were also covered with a mild acid, which lubricated the spines and assisted with the burrowing process.

Both Raders and his partner, Private Vick, were later chosen to serve as Halcyon's personal guards, after the Republic's forces were able to land on Praesitlyn. Upon landing on Praesitlyn, both Raders and Vick signed up for scout duty, preferring the action to sitting around waiting for the battle to start. After returning to base with Odie Subu and Erk H'Arman in tow, Raders and Vick were then allowed to sit in the command center with Halcyon and his leaders, Anakin Skywalker and Zozridor Slayke, to devise a new plan to defeat the Separatists.

Although no one answered their hails, they found Alysun Celz hiding in the holds. She claimed that she had hidden to escape from the Dark Jedi known as Et Rex, who was imprisoned aboard the Radiant IX for transport back to Coruscant. Celz explained that he escaped from his confinement and killed the rest of the crew, but the Jedi soon realized that it was Celz, not Et Rex, who was the Dark Jedi. After Celz was killed in a conflagration of her own Force Lightning, the Jedi were able to get the Radiant IX back to Coruscant.

Radiant Splendor
This aging Barzo freighter was in a poor state of disrepair when it was acquired in a game of dice by Kelna Toodo, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. When Toodo investigated its holds, he found a worthless mixture of cloth and holocubes before uncovering a caged Corellian sand panther. His plans to sell the ship for scrap were dashed, and Toodo had to figure out a way to get rid of the sand panther without getting into trouble. After he was ordered by Beeda the Hutt to eliminate a group of meddlers, Kelna figured he could strand them inside the Radiant Splendor and have the sand panther kill them. He could then kill the sand panther on the grounds of self-defense and be done with it. With the help of Lyt Re, Toodo managed to "lose" the Radiant Splendor to the meddlers in a sabacc match. Kelna's plan also worked to perfection. However, the meddlers managed to get the sand panther back in its cage, and jettisoned Kelna in an escape pod. They took the Radiant Splendor to the nearest system and turned it over to the authorities.

This consular ship served the Old Republic for thirty-four years before transporting Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to Naboo, for their negotiations with the Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray, just prior to the Battle of Naboo. The ship delivered the Jedi on time, but was ordered destroyed by Darth Sidious. The ship, along with her crew of eight, were reduced to smoldering cinders by the Federation's automated defense systems.
A beautiful Corellian Engineering Corporation Republic Cruiser, the Radiant VII measured 115 meters in length. Its forward section resembled that of the later Corellian Gunship, while its aft section was dominated by three Dyne 577 radial atomizing sublight engines. Being a purely diplomatic vessel, as noted by its red coloration, the ship had no weaponry, but did have 9 escape pods to handle its maximum of sixteen passengers.

Radiation Bomb
This form of explosive weapon was developed by the Chiss, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. When detonated, a radiaion bomb released an intesne wave of radiation energy that passed through solid matter such as walls and bulkheads, but eradicated any living tissue it encountered. By using radiation bombs, Chiss forces could destroy an enemy without damaging their starships, allowing the vessels to be recovered and broken down for parts. Force Commander Thrawn used six radiation bombs against the Dreadnaught that formed the outer ring of Outbound Flight, after recognizing that a direct attack on the ships would be met with stern opposition from the Jedi Knights on board. The bombs wiped out nearly every living being on Outbound Flight, except for those individuals in the central storage core, and allowed the ship to remain relatively intact.

Radiation Burst Missile
This was a form of ordnance that was produced during the early stages of the Clone Wars. It was most effective against organic targets, although it saw use by the Grand Army of the Republic in those areas where local militias fought alongside the battle droids of the Separatists. A radiation burst missile exploded before hitting the ground, showering a large area with heavy doses of radioactive particles.
(RCTZ)
Radical Party
This was the term used by Tionne Solusar and other Jedi scholars to describe the group of Jedi Knights who supported the philosophies of Kyp Durron, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong War. The so-called radical party believed that the Force was just a tool, like a lightsaber, that the Jedi Knight could use to maintain peace in the galaxy. These Jedi emphasized the need for action, especially if the Force was guiding you to a certain path, and the need to trust the Force to warn you if an action or path was going to be dangerous.

Rado, Bal
This Toydarian spice dealer was found murdered on Coruscant, shortly after the end of the Clone Wars. Investigation by Jax Pavan and Haninum Tyk Rhinann revealed that Rado's supply of spice dried up just before his death, and Rado was forced to stall his customers while trying to find a new source of spice. Rado tried to obtain spice from several of his smuggling contacts, including another Toydarian named Droo Wabbin. Among his customers was the Hutt known as Sol Proofrock, who learned from Wabbin that Rado was unable to provide the spice he had promised. Although they had no direct evidence to link Proofrock to Rado's death, Pavan and Rhinann discovered that a large sum of credits had found its way into Wabbin's bank accounts shortly afterward. They also discovered that there was more spice to be found on the streets of the Zi-Kree district, where Proofrock was known to have done business.

Radtrooper
The shortened term used to describe stormtroopers who were specially trained and equipped for operations in radiation zones. The armor of the radtrooper was based on the armor used by standard stormtroopers, but was impregnated with a lead-polymer substrate that allowed the radtrooper to operate for extended periods in lethal radiation zones. Radtroopers were most often used when the Empire needed to subjugate a planet quickly. Using atomic weapons or neutron bombing runs, any armed resistance on the planet was quickly eliminated. The radtroopers were dispatched almost immediately into the warzones, to mop up any surviving resistance on the ground.

This green-skinned being and her brother, Dran, worked as bodyguards and thugs for their aunt, Bles, during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. Like Bles, Rae came from a race of beings who put family before any other considerations, including legal and social obligations. Rae and Dran obeyed Bles' every command, and obediently helped her in a number of schemes and plots. One such scheme was Bles' attempt to acquire the stolen plans for an Imperial virus, which were being auctioned off by Hakon de Ville.

(NEGA)
Rae, Azlyn
This bounty hunter was hired to track the movements of Cade Skywalker, after the young man escaped from the Sith Temple on Coruscant, some seven years after the Massacre at Ossus. Distinguished by her reddish-blond hair and golden eyes, Azlyn was a former student at the Jedi training facility on Ossus, where she had known Cade many years earlier. Azlyn was separated from her Master, Rasi Tuum, when the Sith launched their attack on the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, and she was forced to wander the galaxy doing odd jobs while covering her ability to use the Force. Bounty hunting came easy for her, and it allowed her to tap into the Force without being noticed. Thus, working under the alias Jamdahr, she ended up taking the bounty to find Cade Skywalker, and tracked him to Iego.
Upon arriving at Iego, Azlyn was surprised to discover former Jedi Knight Nat Skywalker on the planet as well. She revealed that she had sighted Cade at the Golden Gorg on Socorro, and decided to see if he was the same Cade Skywalker she had known on Ossus. When she discovered that he was the same person, she decided not to turn him in for the bounty on his head. Cade had believed that Azlyn had died on Coruscant, and she explained that she had believed him dead at Ossus. When an Imperial task force arrived on Iego, after being alerted to Skywalker's presence by a group of Black Sun operatives, Azlyn Rae confronted the Imperials while Cade hid in Rawk's basement. Although she was beaten for her impertinence, Azlyn Rae managed to use the Force to convince Captain Gurlok that Cade had never been on Iego.
Unknown to Cade and Bantha, Azlyn Rae was secretly working for the Imperial Knights. She had joined the Imperial Knights shortyly after leaving Coruscant, in an effort to complete her training in the Force. The bounty hunter alias helped to cover her tracks and earn her a few credits, while her apparent death on Coruscant allowed her to join the Imperial Knights without drawing attention. When the group on Iego set out to locate the Hidden Temple, Azlyn Rae asked to join the team. She then secretly send a message to Antares Draco and the Imperial Knights. She also left a tracking beacon in orbit near Taivas, to alert the Imperials to the location of the Hidden Temple. When Antares Draco and his arrived just after Cade and Bantha, the gathered Jedi Knights were not happy that someone had revealed the location of the Hidden Temple. Cade deduced that it had been Azlyn, but when he confronted her about it, the other Imperial Knights rushed to defend her. The gathered Jedi were surprised to learn that the Imperial Knights had been ordered by Emperor Roan Fel to locate the hidden Jedi and discuss an alliance with them. Although the gathered Jedi explained that exposing the location of the Hidden Temple was not a good way to start an alliance, they agreed to discuss the possibility of future actions.
The Imperial Knights were dismissed during the discussions, during which time Azlyn Rae learned that her former teacher, Jedi Master Rasi Tuum, was still alive. Her Master questioned Azlyn's loyalties, hoping that she would return to the ranks of the surviving Jedi Knights. Azlyn, however, had completed her training in the ways of the Force with the Imperial Knights, and had sworn her life to their causes. She urged her former Master to put aside his prejudices, and work with the Imperials to combat their common enemy, the Sith.

This member of the Alliance was a starfighter pilot. She was part of the squadron assigned to facilitate the liberation of Vilosoria from Imperial control. Raef was the recipient of data provided by the droid R2Z-DL, which detailed the flight plans of the Fireclaw in the sector. Raef used the data, and the link back into Imperial databases, to keep the Fireclaw delayed in its patrol, and shifted the Imperial garrison's work schedules to pin the stormtroopers down while Alliance forces swept into the system and liberated the planet. For her bravery and valor in the battle, Raef was given the Rohal Cross. She refused to accept the award, and deferred the commendation to R2Z-DL.

Raen, Karvinna
This plain-looking young woman was education in xenobiology, and worked for the Alliance Diplomatic Corps during the height of the Galactic Civil War. She served as the primary assistant to Doctor Elth Nardah, working as a researcher and scribe during negotiations with other races. She was shocked when Doctor Nardah was killed by the Karrans, after accepting Darryn Edalm's surrender, and tried to deny his death in her own mind. After overcoming her disbelief, Karvinna and her Alliance escorts discovered the remains of an alien starship. The ship's computer contained video and audio recordings of the alien's first encounters with the Karrans. The aliens themselves were also in the video images, and resembled motile trees. The video showed the Karrans attacking the aliens by themselves and with the help of swarms of insects. After witnessing the Karrans' ability to control the insects first-hand, Raen reported on their abilities to the Alliance. In the wake of Nardah's death, she was promoted and transferred to the investigative branch of the Diplomatic Corps.

Raen, Safford
This Doctor was credited with the discovery of the raen sovra, during an ill-fated mission to the Mis-Tenek System to study the vinna trees. Several members of his team died from electrocution after coming in contact with the worms which lived near the trees.
(COG)
Raen Sovra
Known as the electrocution worm, this segmented creature was a member of the classification of creatures known as technivores. Its exoskeleton was composed of metallic elements, and the creature subsists by consuming electricity and metals. They were considered a threat to starships and vehicles because of their ability to sense the electricity and metallic content of space-going vehicles, which they attached themselves to and consumed over time, eventually weakening and destroying hulls and computer systems. In general, raen sovra were weak and dumb, but were able to defend themselves by shocking their attacker with a jolt of pure electricity. These creatures were originally discovered - and named for - Doctor Safford Raen, who encountered them in the Mis-Tenek System. Doctor Raen discovered that these worms lived in the root systems of vinna trees, consuming the electricity that was directed into the ground whenever the vinna trees were struck by lightning.

Rafa III
This was the the planet of the Rafa System. An extensive deep-bore mining operation was located on the planet during the early years of the New Order.
(LCM)
Rafa IV
This was the fourth planet of the Rafa System. Although it had no natural satellites, Rafa IV was home to an ideal life-crystal orchard, due to the planet's temperate climate. The air was warm and breathable, but moist with humidity. It was also home to Duttes Mer's prison facility. When Lando Calrissian first visited the Rafa System while hunting for its treasure, he arrived on Rafa IV to pick up Vuffi Raa, the Class 2 droid he won from Osuno Whett in the Oseon System.
(LCM)
Rafa System
This star system of eleven planets was extensively settled by the ancient Sharu race, which disappeared eons ago without a trace. They left behind huge buildings and monuments that indicated they had a growing technology. The system was famous for the life-crystals which were grown there, and only on those planets that accurately imitated Rafa's climate, as well as the life-orchards in which the crystals grew and Sharu ruins. During the era of the New Order, the Rafa System was also home to a penal colony where a life sentence meant certain death. It held many of the galaxy's worst criminals and politicians. The system was located near the Oseon System.
(LCM)
Rafa V
This planet was the fifth world of the Rafa System, an arid world covered with reddish sand. A cold world which barely supported a small life-orchard, Rafa V was believed to have been the world on which the Sharu evolved. It was also where they supposedly hid the Mindharp. The planet had two moons and a thin, breathable atmosphere that was dry and cool. Rafa V was ringed with a debris field that was created from the remnants of the Sharu's first attempts at spaceflight, including ancient rockets and small craft of unknown origin. Lando Calrissian and Mohs located the Great Pyramid on the planet, during the early years of the New Order, and used the Key to enter it and recover the Mindharp. After entering the Great Pyramid, Lando and Mohs were given a history lesson on Rafa V, showing them that the planet had once had oceans and snow-covered mountains. Then, the ancestors of the Sharu had arrived and settled the planet. As their technology increased in complexity and scope, the Sharu began turning the Rafa System into their own set of gardens, covering large parts of the planet with plastic domes to protect them. The environment, however, did not want to be controlled, and eventually the ancient Sharu found themselves struggling to maintain their gardens. It was as if the planet rebelled against the unnatural containment of the gardens, and eventually reduced itself to desert wastes in order to "escape."
(LCM)
Rafa XI
This was the smallest and outermost planet on the Rafa System. Because of its distance from the system's primary, Rafa Xi supported a minimal population that worked at a research facility and a helium processing plant located on the planet. During the early years of the New Order, Lando Calrissian sent Jandler and his team to Rafa XI after escaping from them on Rafa V. The planet was covered with icy slush.
(LCM)
Rafan
This was the name used to describe the humans inhabitants of the Rafa System. The Rafans arrived in the Rafa System around the time that the Toka did, during the early years of the Old Republic, and both of them were affected by the life-crystals. The humans, however, had not suffered from the loss of the Sharu as have the Toka. Instead, the life-crystals altered their physiology. The Rafans evolved into short, squat humans that were often compared to weathered tree-stumps.

Rafe's Gambit
This was one of the many independent transport vessels that were parked on New Plympto in the wake of the Clone Wars. When the clone troopers began acting on orders from Emperor Palpatine to close the spaceports and search every vessel, the Rafe's Gambit was one of the first ships to notice the activity. Her crew then commed any other vessel in range, including the Uhumele, warning them about the imminent Imperial searches.

Raff
This Yuuzhan Vong served as the battle tactician, under the command of Tla, during the assault on Obroa-skai and the planned mission to infiltrate Elan into the Jedi Knights. Raff was outspoken for a mere tactician, but his insight and analytical abilities were often valuable to his commanders. He was considered quite small for a Yuuzhan Vong, and was extremely thin-bodied. His ritual scarring and tattoos were no less horrific than those of a warrior, however, for Raff was a devote follower of Yun-Yammka. The skin of his enlarged cranium was tattooed with swirls and patterns denoting the incredible brain within. Raff opposed the initial plans to have Elan play the part of a defector, citing the incredible loss of a yorik coral warship and its crew just to make it appear her defection was legitimate.

Members of the rebellion claimed that Raggold had been assassinated by a traitor, and Luke set out to find him. However, what Luke learned was that Raggold himself was the traitor, having sold out both the rebels and King Blackart to the Empire.

Ragnar Bounty Hunter Syndicate
Based on Ragnar VIII in the Ragnar System, the Ragnar syndicate was one of the largest professional bounty hunting syndicates based in the Outer Rim Territories. As a recognized member of the houses that made up the Bounty Hunters' Guild, Ragnar's prowess and reputation spread throughout the galaxy during the era of the New Order. The Ragnar syndicate allowed its members to perform freelance hunts, but required that an experienced hunter always took a rookie with them, in order to continually teach new hunters the tricks of the trade. Most of the bounty hunters who joined the Ragnar syndicate were considered little more than mercenaries, and other hunters were often disdainful of Ragnar's membership. During the height of the New Order, the Ragnar Syndicate was led by Reshton Severindas, who maintained control in the wake of the Battle of Endor.

Ragnos, Marka
This ancient Dark Lord of the Sith ruled the galaxy with an iron fist some 5,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. A Sith half-breed, Ragnos could trace his history back to the Exiles who arrived on Korriban nearly two millennia earlier. After attaining the title of Dark Lord of the Sith, Ragnos controlled the Sith Empire for more than a century before before he finally died, but expanded the Sith Empire very little during his tenure. Ragnos knew of, and feared, the power of the Old Republic, and chose to protect the Sith by keeping them isolated. To maintain his own power, Ragnos often pitted his rivals against one another in order to keep them from thinking about taking control of the Sith Empire. After he died of apparent old age, funeral preparations were underway when the Daragon siblings happened upon Korriban, and interrupted the burial ceremony. Ragnos was buried with his predecessors in the Valley of the Dark Lords, with numerous living slaves entombed to assist him in the afterlife. The funeral consisted of twenty Dark Lords surrounding his body in a perfectly spaced circle, with Ludo Kressh presiding from the sixth position, opposite Simus in the sixteenth position.
The death of Marka Ragnos led to a great uprising among the two major Sith factions, as each of them tried to promote their candidate to the vacant position of Dark Lord. Both Ludo Kressh and Naga Sadow believed that they were the next Dark Lord, and came to blows shortly after Ragnos' burial. Ragnos spirit, angered by the proceedings, returned from the dead to counsel them about choosing their battles wisely. Ragnos' spirit foresaw that their battle would bring about the end of the golden age of the Sith magicians. A millennium later, Ragnos' spirit again rose from the dead, when it intervened in the duel between Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma. Ragnos told them that they needed to work together to restore the glory of the Sith. The spirit then named Exar Kun the newest Dark Lord of the Sith, with Ulic Qel-Droma as his first apprentice. Ragnos, however, lacked enough power to fully return, and remained as a spirit, trapped on Korriban for the next 4,000 years.
Some ten years after the Battle of Endor, the Dark Jedi Tavion managed to acquire the Scepter of Ragnos, and began supplying it with Force energy. She then traveled to Korriban, in an effort to raise the spirit of Ragnos. Although she was intercepted by Jaden Korr, Tavion managed to transfer the power in the Scepter to Ragnos' spirit. The former Sith Lord rose up and tried to take over Tavion's body, but she was killed in combat with Korr. Ragnos then tried to kill Korr, but was unable to do so in his spirit form. Ragnos once again was trapped on the planet, although he vowed to find a way to escape.
Marka Ragnos was later found to have been one of the first Sith Lords to discover a way to ensure that his consciousness would live on after his body died. It was unclear if this ability was the same as the technique that was taught to Qui-Gon Jinn by a Shaman of the Whills.

Ragoon-6
This planet was part of a cluster or remote worlds which were famous for their rugged beauty. Ragoon-6 was noted for its high mountains and sheer cliffs. There were no cities on Ragoon-6, nor was there any form of industry. Thus, the environment of the planet was extremely pure and clean, and everything seemed brighter and clearer than on most other worlds. This was mainly due to the stubborn reluctance of the native Ragoons to allow any kind of colonization of their planet. However, certain groups - like the Jedi Knights - were given special dispensation to land on the planet. The Jedi used the planet as a kind of training ground, allowing Master-Padawan teams to go to Ragoon-6 to train together. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi traveled to Ragoon-6, shortly after Obi-Wan's sixteenth birthday, in an effort to re-focus their thoughts and get back in touch with the living Force. Unfortunately for Qui-Gon, he received a disturbing vision of Tahl's death while on the planet, which clouded his mind until her death on New Apsolon. Years later, Obi-Wan and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, survived an assault by bounty hunters who had been sent to Ragoon-6 to capture the Jedi.

Rahn, Qu
Once a native of the planet Socorro, this former Jedi Knight spent the twilight of his career searching for the lost Valley of the Jedi. Rahn had been a member of the Jedi Temple's Katarn Clan, and trained under the guidance of Jedi Master Yoda. Rhan had survived the Jedi Purge, but only after escaping from the treachery of Halagad Ventor. After tracking down Yoda on Dagobah, Rahn learned of the Valley of the Jedi on Ruusan. Yoda then promoted Rahn to the rank of Jedi Master and sent him away with information on the location of the Valley of Souls. Rahn seemed to be one step ahead of the Dark Jedi, Jerec, who was also searching for the Valley. He feared the Valley was only a myth until Morgan Katarn discovered its whereabouts. Rahn immediately sensed the connection to the name Katarn, since it had been the name of his clan at the Jedi Temple. Looking inward with the Force, Rahn discovered that Morgan was quite sensitive to the Force, and saw that his son, Kyle Katarn, would someday figure in the locating of the Valley. Rahn also foresaw his own capture. He entrusted his lightsaber to Morgan, to pass on to Kyle, then tried to defeat Jerec himself. However, Jerec captured him on Dorlo and executed him aboard the Vengeance, but not before learning of Morgan Katarn's knowledge of the Valley.

Rahring, A.
This Kel Dor xenobiologist was noted for his work with the rare leviathans of the planet Dorumaa, during the last decades of the Old Republic. He hosted the documentary A Galaxy Befuddled, which brought the unusual life of the leviathan's to the public's attention. Sometime after the Battle of Geonosis, Professor Rahring was captured by Rufus Trammel, and held prisoner by the various poachers and pirates who worked for Trammel on Dorumaa. The Professor was captured in order to ensure that the kidnapped leviathan, Jessel, was alive and healthy when Trammel sold it to the highest bidder. He was ultimately rescued, along with Jessel, when a group of freelance agents worked with Solwyn Tamm to locate Trammel's secret island lair and free the leviathan.

Rahuhl
This young Zeltron was part of the detachment sent to the Forest Moon of Endor to meet with the leaders of the Alliance, most especially Leia Organa, in the wake of the Battle of Endor. Admiral Ackbar then placed the four Zeltrons in charge of protecting Leia, in order to simplify a delicate situation. Like most Zeltrons, Jahn had a strong hatred of the Nagai. He was among the first members of the Alliance forces on Endor to be attacked by the Maccabreee warriors dispatched by Knife to eliminate Mon Mothma and Admiral Ackbar, when the Nagai launched their bold attack on the Alliance. Rahuhl and his companions were personally escorted back to Zeltros by Leia Organa shortly afterward.

Rahz, Stafuv
This Gektl served the Empire on Harix, during the era of the Galactic Civil War. On his homeworld of Hoszh Iszhir, Rahz worked on the team that maintained the planetary defense shields. Seeking more power than this, Rahz traveled to Coruscant to offer the shield deactivation codes to the Empire. In exchange for the codes, which would allow the Empire to gain access to Hoszh Iszhir's natural resources, Rahz demanded a commission in the Imperial military. The deal was quickly struck, and Rahz was assigned to a position serving under Darth Vader himself.
Vader loathed having Rahz on his staff, fearing that the Gektl would eventually betray the Empire the way he had betrayed his own people. Nevertheless, Rahz distinguished himself by capturing Ampotem Za, earning him the mission to Harix. On Harix, Rahz was given the rank of Major in the military, and was in charge of rounding up the planet's teachers, including Myoris Lin. The teachers were suspected of sowing the seeds of rebellion on the planet, and Vader hoped to lure more rebels to their aid by capturing them.
Unfortunately for Rahz, the rebels who came to Myoris Lin's rescue included Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, who helped get the teachers and their students to safety by tricking Rahz and Vader into believing that a massive rebel force was attacking Harix. Rahz himself was nearly captured by Berd, but shed his tail in order to escape. He then grabbed a sonic beam generator and tried to kill the boy, but the weapon exploded, killing Rahz in the blast.

Raich
This unusual creature, found on the Forest Moon of Endor, resembled a normal tree with hollow branches sprouting from its trunk. Using these branches, the raich could create sounds that lured other creatures to its location. It could then lash out and capture the creatures, which it then devoured. The being known as Gonster believed that the raich was an evil monster, and placed a magical cap over its branches to prevent it from calling any other creatures to their deaths. Shortly before the Battle of Endor, Wicket W. Warrick mistakenly removed the cap and allowed the raich to send out was call. He later led a mission to restore the cap and silence the raich.

He was captured by the Empire and sent to Stars' End for detainment on the freighter Genue. He was friends with Cardacs, who petitioned the Alliance to rescue the prisoners after learning of Raider's capture. Raider was rescued by Keyan Farlander's assault team, but Cardacs was killed in the battle. Raider held a grudge against Farlander for a short time afterward, and spoke openly about Farlander's apparent lack of humanity. Shortly after his rescue, Raider provided the Alliance with information on an Imperial operation that was using Wookiees as slave labor. His information was put to use in planning a rescue operation, in the hope that the Wookiees could provide more data on what the project they were assigned to carry out. Despite their differences, Raider chose Farlander to help him carry out the rescue mission, along with Sunnar Jan-lo and a pilot named Toalagar. Although Toalagar was killed on the mission, Raider later admitted that he had been at fault, and that Farlander was actually a decent pilot. Raider came to realize that Farlander dealing with the loss of his fellow pilots in his own way, and the two men eventually reconciled their differences. Their friendship became strained after the death of Breth Gart and the capture of the Priam, and they once again parted ways after the deaths of Casal Marskan and Horodi.

Rain
This young girl was Tomcat's younger sister, born with the name Zannah, although she displayed none of his Force sensitivity during her early years on Somov Rit. Shortly before the Battle of Ruusan, when the Jedi were trying gather as many Force-users as possible to fight against the Brotherhood of Darkness, Tomcat was chosen to train with Torr Snapit. Rain wanted to leave Somov Rit with her brother, and Tomcat used his own Force skills to allow Rain to accompany them. Upon arriving at Ruusan, Rain was lost when Torr's ship was shot down. She was believed to be dead, but the bouncers of the planet managed to save her life.
Rain was happy until her rescuer, known as Laa, dreamed she would fall victim to the Dark Side of the Force. Rain believed she had no skills with the Force, but Laa managed to bring them out and help the girl. Rain tried to kill herself by jumping off a cliff, rather than turning to the Dark Side, but she vowed not to let a dream rule her life. She halted herself in mid-fall, and dedicated herself to helping the bouncers and the Jedi. Her resolve, however, was shattered when Laa was mistakenly killed by Petja. Rain swiftly grew angry and killed Petja, allowing herself to be consumed by the Dark Side. After she was rescued by Darth Bane, Rain abandoned the nickname and took up her given name, Zannah. She became Lord Bane's first apprentice, Darth Zannah.

Rainah
This was the alias adopted by Zannah, during her mission to undermine the efforts of the Anti-Republic Liberation Front, some ten years after the Battle of Ruusan. The alias, formed from her given name Zannah and her childhood name Rain, allowed her to pose as an embassy worker with ties to the local government in the capital city of Carannia, on the planet Serenno. She cultivated a relationship with the Lethan Twi'lek known as Kelad'dan, both because of his connections to the ARLF and because of his physical looks and charisma. As Kelad'dan came to trust her more, Rainah began to urge him into action, despite the more tentative approach urged by the leader of the ARLF, Hetton.
In order to spur them into action, Rainah supplied the group with information on former Chancellor Tarsus Valorum's secret visit to Serenno. She hoped that Kelad'dan would convince the group to launch an attempt to assassinate Valorum, thereby proving their desire to become a stronger separatist force. This effort proved ultimately successful, as Kelad'dan managed to get their agreement to act on her information. She used her contacts to gather all the necessary information about Valorum's visit, then provided this to the group before abandoning Serenno to return to her training with Darth Bane on Ambria.

Raine, Tull
This Barabel ruled the Dool Arena on Reuss VIII, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. A former shockboxer, Tull had started his career at the arena, and had become the crowd favorite over the course many bouts. A skilled fighter in a variety of styles, Tull Raine retained the use of his boxing gloves regardless of the bout, which he used for both showmanship and combat. Although he lost almost as many bouts as he won, Tull Raine never lost a title match. Many regulars at the Dool Arena claimed that Tull Raine had once beaten a Jedi Knight in the wedge, using a tactic in which he punched his shockmitts together several times, building up a powerful electric charge before striking his opponent. It was rumored that Tull Raine was working for Torel Vorne, and that any time Vorne needed new organs to sell to wealthy buyers, he placed certain shockboxers in title matches against Tull Raine. These title matches were often rigged, with Raine's competitor's body armor and hub being tampered with before the match. However, during the early years of the New Republic, Raine finally met his match when he agreed to fight Lobar Aybock for the Outer Rim Ponderweight championship. Aybock was backed by Major Bren Derlin, whose slicers helped to prevent Vorne's thugs from rigging the fight. Aybock used his own skills, including the ryastraad battle madness, to defeat Tull Raine, knocking the Barabel completely out of the wedge. When Raine was unable to return to the ring before the count of eight, Aybock was declared the champion.

This strange woman found a way to re-animate the dead, during the final years of the Old Republic. During the height of the Clone Wars, Countess Rajine and her zombies captured the Alpha-2 Squad of clone troopers, hoping to lure a Jedi Knight into their lair. Rajine was elated to find that Jedi Master Mace Windu was sent to locate the Alpha-2 Squad, and had him captured and brought into her fortress. She explained that she had been waiting for a Jedi to stumble into her control for hundreds of years. When Windu tried to use the Force to retrieve his lightsaber, he found that it was impossible, for Rajine had been absorbing his life-energy. Windu suddenly realized that Rajine was an energy vampire, and that her "fortress" was actually the prison in which she had been trapped since she was captured many centuries earlier by the Jedi Knight known as Samuro.
Rajine kept Samuro's droid, Z-18, as her personal servant, and lived for several centuries on Samuro's life energies before being discovered by Master Windu. It was Z-18 who revealed to Master Windu that Samuro had created a holocron before his death, in which he managed to trap the souls of all of Rajine's victims. Z-18 then turned the holocron over to Windu, and helped him escape from his cell. Rajine, however, intercepted them before Windu could escape the fortress, and cut down Z-18 for his actions. Master Windu remained unconcerned, then brought out the holocron for her to see. He then played Samuro's message to Rajine, which triggered the holocron to release all the trapped vicitms. Although Samuro explained that he was incapable of demanding revenge, he had no problem allowing her other victims to carry out their own retribution. With their life energies freed from the holocron, the zombies turned on Rajine and tore her to pieces before dying themselves.

The average, ten-limbed Rakaan had a segmented body with an enlarged abdomen and mottled green-and-brown coloration. The lower eight legs were used for locomotion, while the upper pair was equipped with prehensile hands and opposable digits. They could eject a web-like substance to capture their prey, and secretions from their mouths were used to dissolve the webbing once their prey had died. This mouth was located underneath the abdomen, and was surrounded by stout mandibles. In Rakaan physiology, there were five sexes: child, neuter, female, male, and andro. Each sex corresponded to a phase in the Rakaan lifecycle, and could last up to eighty years. Each change from one sex to another was known as a Transition.

Rakata
This ancient race of dome-headed humanoids was believed to have died out more than 30,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Note that The New Essential Chronology indicates that the Rakatan Empire died out just 200 years before the formation of the Old Republic. Despite the fact that the death of the Rakata Empire predated the discovery of the hyperdrive, evidence of the Rakata was found on planets scattered throughout the galaxy. The existence of the Rakata was pieced together durnig the time of the Great Sith War, when disparate archaeological expeditions discovered amazingly similar finds. No records of Rakata civilization existed, although the physical appearance of the Rakata was unique enough to help scientists recognize that these many finds were related to the same civilization.
How and why the Rakata civilization died out remains a mystery, and even their homeworld was simply referred to as the Unknown World. In stature, the Rakata were humanoid, standing on two muscular legs which were protected by a heavy talon at the back of the calf. The head of the Rakata was shaped like an upright bullet, with the mouth and eyes located at its base. The eyes were set out from the head on thick stalks, giving the Rakata a wide range of vision. The lack of any form of record of the Rakata's passing through the galaxy had led xenoarchaeologists to assume that they were a conquering species who wanted their existence to remain a secret. This theory was borne out with the discovery of the Star Forge, a huge space station that had been built as a manufacturing facility for starships and weaponry that could be used by the Rakatan Empire.
It was also learned that their homeworld, which was known as either Rakata Prime or the Unknown World, was located near a node of the galaxy that was strong with the Dark Side of the Force. It was believed that his proximity to the Dark Side node fueled their desires for conquest. However, the Rakata were unprepared for the strain of plague that infected the entire Infinite Empire, wiping out only the Rakata. Those that did survive discovered that they were no longer able to contact the Force, and Rakata Prime was plunged into darkness as the Rakata people devolved into savages. Those few tribes that survived were later wiped out in the War of the Star Forge. Evidence of the existence of the Rakata was cleared from official databanks by the leaders of the Old Republic, who feared a galaxy-wide panic if the general population learned of their existence, since the Rakata had enslaved many of the galaxy's races at one time. In order to completely cover up its true history, the Old Republic chose to designate the planet as Lehon in its official starcharts, since the planet was the primary world in the Lehon System.
Investigation by scholars discovered that the Rakata had most probably acquired their technology from the ancient race known as the Architects, who were believed to have created the Corellian System. This technology employed the Force as a source of power for the Star Forge and the hyperdrives that propelled their starships through space.

Rakata Prime
This was one of the names used to describe the Rakatan homeworld, which became known as the Unknown World after the Inifnite Empire was wiped out many years before the formation of the Old Republic. It was later referred to as Lehon by the astrocartographers of the Old Republic, since it was the primary world in the Lehon System. In the wake of the War of the Star Forge, the planet was abandoned. The debris from the fighting, including the remains of the Star Forge itself, was left in orbit, forming a ring of wreckage that slowly coalesced over the ensuing centuries. Anything that wasn't drawn into orbit around the planet became part of the Lehon System's asteroid belt. The planet was later designated a historical site by the Old Republic, making it illegal for any starship to approach the system without proper authorization. The Jedi Knights agreed with the Republic's plans to remove Rakata Prime from the public realm, fearing that its connection to the Dark Side of the Force would cause trouble for any being who stumbled upon it. The planet itself could have been considered a beautiful world of rolling oceans broken up by chains of heavily-forested islands. A population of rancors also existed on the planet, and were once used as mounts by the Rakatans in much the same way that rancors were domesticated on Dathomir.

Rakatan Battle Wand
This weapon, essentially a stun baton, was developed by the Rakatan people, many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. Because it was weighted for the Rakatan hand, it was difficult for other races to wield.
(KOTOR)
Rakatan Civil War
According to certain historical accounts, the demise of the Rakatan Empire was preceded by an intense civil war. The war was started when rebellious members of the Rakatan society decided that the construction of the Star Forge was unwarranted, and that its existence was little more than a chance for their leaders to use it as a superweapon against other races. The rebellion lasted only a short time, however, as the Rakata race was soon wiped out by a virus that seemed to target only the Rakata.
(NEGA)
Rakatan Empire
This was the name given to the vast empire that was created by the Rakata race, many millennia before the Great Sith War. Because the Rakatans managed to conquer worlds across the galaxy, their realm was also known as the Infinite Empire. Using a seemingly endless supply of starships and weaponry, the Rakata conquered entire star systems with swift precision, creating the Rakatan Empire during the 5,000 years that led up to the formation of the Old Republic. For unknown reasons, the Rakatan Empire died out before it was ever discovered by the Old Republic, although many scientists and xenoarchaeologists found many references to the Rakatan Empire on a number of disparate worlds. It was later discovered that a galaxy-wide plague wiped out a staggering percentage of the Rakata people, while the survivors were left without the ability to commune with the Force.
(SWDB, NECH)
Rakatan Hyperdrive
This was believed to have been the first working hyperdrive ever developed in the galaxy. Attributed to the Rakata people, this hyperdrive was used to power the warships that helped carve out the Rakatan Empire. When the Rakata civilization died out many years before the formation of the Old Republic, the technology behind this hyperdrive system remained behind. The human and Duros who lived in the Corellian System and the Tion Cluster, who were once slaves of the Rakata, began to reverse-engineer the technology, hoping to finally gain the ability to travel between the stars. This work eventually led to the development of the modern hyperdrive.
(NECH)
Rakatan Temple
This was the primary seat of the Rakatan Empire, located on Rakata Prime. Although not impressive by modern standards, the Rakatan Temple was an impressive structure during its time, and the fact that it survived in the wilderness for nearly thirty millennia served as a testement to its builders. Standing at the center of a wide, circular clearing, the Rakatan Temple was pyramidal in shape, standing some twenty meters tall and formed from intricately carved stone and rock. In the millennia since the demise of the Rakatan Empire, the Temple was overgrown with vines, but remained solid and unbreached. At the height of the Rakatan civilization, the Temple was protected by an energy shield that had been powered by the Star Forge. A vast, central chamber was located on the Temple's highest floor, ensuring that any congregation of Rakatans was held within the strongest concentration of the Dark Side of the Force. When the Star Forge was destroyed nearly 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, the Temple was left unprotected. In the following centuries, the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights scoured the Temple for information and artifacts from the Rakata, in an effort to strip the Temple of any reference to their existence. However, the true nature of the Temple remained strong, as it was also a nexus of the Dark Side of the Force. This power drew Darth Bane to the Rakatan Temple just before the Battle of Ruusan. Deep inside, Bane discovered a Sith Holocron that was an exact miniature of the Temple itself. The gatekeeper of the Holocron was none other than Darth Revan, who supplied Bane with a wealth of knowledge before the Holocron finally gave out. As he turned to leave, Bane was confronted by his old teacher, Lord Kas'im, who had been ordered by Lord Kaan to eliminate Bane. Their struggle was brief, as Bane realized that he was no match for Kas'im's skills as a swordmaster. Drawing on the power of the Dark Side of the Force, Bane caused the Temple to implode, utterly destroying the building and burying Kas'im under tons of rubble.

Rakehell Squadron
This group of starfighters was put together by Luke Skywalker, as part of a mission to attack the Anakin Solo and disable Centerpoint Station, several years after the end of the Swarm War. The squadron was formed aboard the Errant Venture, and was led by Wedge Antilles, and included military and Jedi pilots. The mission of the Reveille was to arrive at Centerpoint under the escort of Rakehell Squadron, claiming to need assistance in shaking off Corellian attackers. Tycho Celchu, who had loaned his assistance to Skywalker's Jedi leaders, used his access codes to communicate the need for immediate landing aboard the Anakin Solo in order to escape the attacking ships. Celchu, however, would actually be flying as Rakehell Three during the mission.
Once the Reveille had boarded the Anakin Solo, Rakehell Squadron was tasked with chasing down the troop shuttle Broadside, in an effort to make it appear as if they were part of the Galactic Alliance's forces. The Rakes were then ordered to defend the Millennium Falcon during the rescue of Allana, the daughter of Tenel Ka. Once Allana was safe, Rakehell Squadron then moved into position to cover the extraction of the various Jedi forces on the Anakin Solo.

Rakghoul
These mutated, flesh-eating creatures lived in the Undercity, beneath the surface of the cityscape of the planet Taris, many millennia before the Battle of Yavin. It was believed that rakghouls were actually humans who had been infected with an unusual disease, a disease which they transmitted when they attacked other humans. Because the mutation from human to rakghoul was incredibly swift, many pathohistorians believed that the original infection had been bio-engineered by an ancient race, though this was never proven. No effort was made to eradicate the disease which created the rakghouls, as city officials claimed it eliminated the criminals and outcasts they were "too humane to exterminate." It was believed that the ancient Sith had an antidote to the Rakghoul Plague, but no record existed of its formula. Many rakghouls were simply mindless killing machines, but a few individuals - which came to be known as rakghoul fiends - were known to exhibit leadership abilities and could use weapons. A further evolution of the rakghoul occurred when the Mandalorian scientist known as Pulsipher discovered the Muur Talisman on Taris. He brought the strange artifact to Jebble, where it seemed to give him the ability to create rakghouls just by touching another individual. These new rakghouls, often referred to as Mando-raks, were exceptionally smart, and could use weaponry and operate in groups. The bite of these Mando-raks was also quite potent, and could turn another being into a rakghoul in a matter of seconds.
(KOTOR, WOTC, KORH, KORV)
Rakghoul Fiend
This was the term used by the natives of the planet Taris to describe those members of the rakghould population which exhibited intelligence or a leadership influence over others of their species. They were capable of using tools and weapons, and of laying traps for new victims.
(WOTC)
Rakghoul Plague
This was the term used to describe the sudden explosion in the population of the rakghouls that inhabited the Undercity of the planet Taris, many years before the Mandalorian Wars. The exact origin of the Rakghoul Plague was never discovered, but it was transmitted from being to being in the bite of a rakghoul. The Rakghoul Plague's effects were almost instantaneous, resulting in the transformation of an individual to a mindless predator. Different species had different incubation periods, but the effects of a bite were inevitable. The residents of the Lower City sealed off many of the entrances to the Undercity in order to prevent the rakghouls from escaping, but many of these blockades were damaged when the Mandalorians attacked the planet. It was believed that the plague had been confined to Taris, but Celeste Morne and Zayne Carrick discovered that the Mandalorians who had attacked the planet had somehow transported it to Jebble. They were both surprised and dismayed to learn that the Rakghouls that they encountered on Jebble were quite intelligent, passed on the plague very rapidly, and could use weapons.
(KORH, KORV)
Rakhmar
This small, mammalian predator was native to the jungles of Yavin 4. Many beings described the rakhmar was a fang-filled ball of fur that ambushed its prey by leaping at it from a hiding place in the vegetation.

The average ral grew to have a wingspan of more than half a meter, and their wings were formed from leathery membranes stretched between the bones of their spindly arms. Rals were cold-blooded, and had to sun themselves before flying after their prey. Their thick heads were tipped with a small beak, and their long tails served to balance them.

Like his sister, R'all was distinguished by his pale skin, black eyes, and the thick, black hair that flowed from a sharp widow's peak on his forehead. R'all was killed during the search for the Queen of Ranroon, when just after the mining operation had reached the ship's possible resting place. Han Solo and his bad arrived just afterward, and tried to explain to J'uoch that the miners were about to be attacked by the Guardian Corps. J'uoch refused to believe this, and R'all took matters into his own hands. He flew off in one of the mining operation's armed spaceboats and tried to destroy Han and his companions. Solo was not about to be killed so easier, and fired a blast from the Kell Mark II rifle he was carrying. The weapon's energy knocked R'all's spaceboat out of the sky near the mining camps, and it crashed headlong into the mountainside. R'all was killed instantly in the resulting explosion.

A member of the Forad Party, Ralle sought to widen the scope of Esselian influence in the system, trying to wrestle control from Imperial Governor Takel. He also was decidedly against any action that would harm or denounce non-human races, which brought him continually at odds with the Esselian New Order Party leader Jamson Freller. The economic situation on Esseles, coupled with Ralle's own advancing age, meant that his time as leader of the planet were dwindling. Ralle's squabbles with Takel came to a head when the Faceless attacked Grande Hyet and Tralee. Takel quickly responded by bringing the Indomitable to Esseles to enforce Imperial law.

Many were unaware of his ties to the Alliance. Rallo had befriended young Wedge Antilles, although he had some misgivings about Wedge's budding relationship with Mala. When Wedge was off on a delivery run, Rallo and Mala were both arrested for collusion with the Alliance by Captain Turrant. Rather than submit to Turrant's interrogations, Rallo opened fire on the Imperials in his shop, killing all the stormtroopers and escaping into the wilderness with Mala. However, his actions led the Imperials to bomb his settlement, and both Rallo and Mala were killed in the resulting destruction.

Ralltiir
A planet sympathetic to the Alliance, it came under Imperial scrutiny just before the Battle of Yavin. Lord Tion was called in to suppress the rebellious uprisings there, just as Princess Leia Organa arrived on the planet to deliver medical and combat supplies to the Alliance supporters there. She was intercepted by Lord Tion, who fawned over her while executing the planet's rulers and killing anyone suspected of having ties to the Alliance. It was here that Alliance supporters broken through the Imperial troops and delivered to Princess Leia the first word of the Empire's new weapon, the Death Star. The planet fell into widespread warfare, as rebel forces sought to throw off the Imperial yoke. Much of the landscape was leveled in battle, and there was very little law or order. Because of it's history and its part in the delivery of the plans to the first Death Star, Ralltiir was also one of the first planets to receive assistance from the New Republic after the Battle of Endor, and had the distinction of being the first planet liberated from Imperial control. Ralltiir was the second world in the Ralltiir System, and was orbited by twenty-eight moons. However, the gravitational pull of these moons largely counteracted each other, sparing the planet from devastating tides. The average day on Ralltiir lasted 19 standard hours, and its year lasted 255 local days. Ralltiir was located in the Core Worlds, on the border with the Colonies Region.

Ralltiir Tiger
A ferocious, feline creature native to the planet Ralltiir, these tigers were cute and cuddly when they were young. However, they grew wicked claws and developed a killing temperment as they matured. This savage demeanor could appear as soon as a few weeks of age, and they developed no sense of loyalty to creatures other than themselves. This meant that animal handlers who worked with Ralltiir tigers in their menageries had to be continually aware of the tiger's actions. Compounding the tiger's unpredictable behavior was the blood madness which was brought on by fear or attack. This sudden desire to kill everything around it emerged during adolescence, and could only be quenched by the taste of blood. The blood madness was most often directed at the weakest individual the tiger could locate, making the kill that much easier.

A Sith scientist, this ancient Dark Lord was believed to have had knowledge of how to use bota extract and pyronium to greatly enhance a being's connection to the Force. Darth Ramage believed that the bota could purify and increase the flow of the Force within a being, while the pyronium could be used to strengthen and maintain the connection over a long period of time. Darth Ramage stored this knowledge in a Sith Holocron, an artifact that was lost for many years until it came into the possession of Jax Pavan. Darth Vader was ordered to hunt Pavan down and recover the holocron, and the quest for Pavan only increased when it was learned that Pavan's droid, I-5YQ, possessed the only surviving sample of viable bota. Unfortunately, after Pavan was captured, Vader realized that the holocron was in the possession of Den Dhur.

Ramana
This Twi'lek female lived on Citadel Station, in orbit around Telos, during the years following the Jedi Civil War. She was often seend in the company of Harra, until Harra's gambling problem got the best of him. In a high-stakes game of pazaak, Harra actually bet - and lost - Ramana to Doton Het. Ramana was freed from captivity by The Exile, who managed to beat Doton Het in a game of pazaak. However, The Exile didn't like the fact that Harra had wagered her as part of his gambling debt, and set out to ensure that Ramana remained free. The Exile had to beat Doton Het in one-on-one combat, then convince Harra of the error of his ways, but he managed to make sure Ramana was a free woman.

Ramesh
This Hutt kajidic once assassinated one of the leaders of the Society of the Black Bha'lir smuggler's guild on the planet Omman. The smugglers, looking to exact revenge on the Ramesh, exterminated all but one member of the clan. They sent a young black bha'lir cub to the Ramesh Hutts, who believed the gift to be a proposition of service to the Hutts. The Ramesh leadership made ready to embark on a new monopoly by using the Black Bha'lir as their hired guns. Unfortunately, the Society had implanted a bladder of Trauger Gas inside the lungs of the bha'lir cub. As the cub breathed, Trauger Gas was expelled throughout the Ramesh compound. All the Hutts of the Ramesh clan in residence were killed within minutes. Only Kalna the Hutt survived, having been away from Nal Hutta on business.

Ramis, Octa
This stocky, well-muscled woman was from Chandrila, and trained on an unspecified world of heavier-than-standard gravity to build up her strength. She showed a sensitivity to the Force, and eventually joined Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, training under the watchful eye of Kam Solusar and his wife, Tionne. She was one of a growing faction of Jedi who couldn't understand the New Republic's political aversion to dealing directly with the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Luke later discovered that Octa had been romantically involved with Mika Reglia.
Octa was overcome with grief after the death of Daeshara'cor, and was one of the Jedi who turned away from Luke's philosophy to join Kyp Durron. She flew with Kyp's Dozen during the middle stages of the struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong, and was one of the few survivors of the Second Battle of Coruscant. The anguish over losing so many to the Yuuzhan Vong, despite the efforts of Kyp Durron and other groups, finally broke over her, and she briefly deserted the Dozen in order to help isolate one of the yammosks over Coruscant. Later, during the final stages of the battle with the Yuuzhan Vong, Octa briefly took command of the Dozen when Kyp accompanied Han and Leia Organa Solo on a mission to destroy the yammosk which had been installed on Caluula. During the final stages of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, after the living planet Zonama Sekot agreed to help bring about an end to the conflict, Octa was one of several Jedi Knights were bonded to seed-partners and provided with Sekotan starships. Octa was ultimately one of the handful of Jedi Knights to survive the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong.
During the years that followed, she was eventually promoted to the rank of Jedi Master. She was badly shaken when Jacen Solo sent the Galactic Alliance Guard to take over the Jedi training facility on Ossus, where the Solusars were both badly injured while protected the younglings who were studying there. However, with Solo's death at the Battle of Shedu Maad, Master Ramis was able to experience a period of relative calm. She took Seha Dorvald as her apprentice, and set out to teach the girl about the ways of the Force. Some three years later, they were part of the task force that was sent to detain Valin Horn, after he escaped from the Jedi Temple. Master Ramis did not hold with the notion that Seha was something of a traitor because of her relationship with Jacen Solo, and even admitted that she had once had a similar kind of crush on Han Solo. The pair tracked Valin Horn to the Senate Rotunda, but were barred from entered because of the events surrounding the Unification Summit. When Valin stole an X-Wing and tried to escape, Master Ramis jumped on the ship and tried to stop him. She breached the cockpit with her lightsaber, but was unable to maintain her grip when he went into a roll. Master Ramis was as surprised as Seha when the young girl's instincts took over, and she drew upon the Force to cushion her Master's fall.
Upon returning to the Jedi Temple after Valin was take into custody, and at the request of Kenth Hamner, Master Ramis agreed to serve as the subject of a video documentary. Master Hamner hoped that thye documentary would help improve the public image of the Jedi, and appointed Kyp Durron as a technical consultant for the project.

Some five years after the Galactic Alliance defeated the alien invaders, the Ramoans were still being relocated to new worlds, thanks in large part to the new Jedi Order. However, the final stages of their relocation was under the command of Lowbacca, who left his duty aboard the Maledoth to answer UnuThul's call. The average Ramoan had a huge, muscled body that was covered with green skin. The small eyes of a Ramoan were often referred to as beady, although they provided Ramoans with excellent vision. The voicebox of the average Ramoan was incapable of producing the sounds that were required by the Basic language, and so many Ramoans had to either carry a personal translation system or work with a dedicated protocol droid or translator.

This water-poor planet was the second world in the Rampa System, and was located in the Corporate Sector. Han Solo sustained a fair amount of damage to the Millennium Falcon while trying to smuggle water there, during the early years of the New Order. The planet had been industrialized to the point that its ecosystem had been destroyed, requiring that the population be contained in a small area. The population was sustained with synthetic nutrients and poorly-recycled water. An Imperial outpost was located here, during the early years of the New Order, which was attacked by rebellious agents. The attack forced Moff Sarn Shild to disregard his agreements with the Hutts and issue orders to bring down any smuggling activity in the Hutt sectors of space. Rampa II and its sister planet, Rampa I, were quickly subjugated by the Empire for their insurrections.

When Master Tannis traveled to Alderaan to locate candidates for Jedi training, several millennia before the Battle of Yavin, she chose Veni as well as his older sister, Vici. However, at the age of seven, Veni was too young to begin training, and had to wait two more years before joining Vici.
It was Veni who snuck out of his dwelling to bring Vici her lightsaber, shortly before she entered the Cave of Truth to test her training. However, he was halted from helping her further by the presence of Master Willm Lywin.

This ancient Jedi was a native of Alderaan, and was the third of eight children who grew up on the shores of Lir Lake, several millennia before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. She was well-known to many modern children because of the Vici of Alderaan stories.
At the age of 16, Vici rescued her younger brother, Veni, from a 20-legged dragon, although the Jedi histories revealed that the dragon was none other than the Master Willm Lywin. Vici was trained by Master Tannis, who tried to control Vici's eagerness while allowing it to bolster her spirits and keep her on the path to the Light Side. When she was given the chance to complete her trials and become a Jedi Knight, Vici made her trip to the Cave of Truth with her brother, who had impulsively decided to tag along. Vici found her brother's presence soothing, and she was supported in her quest by the presence of Master Lywin. Within the Cave, Vici faced several unusual tests that challenged her impatience, her greed, the physical limits of the world, and lastly fear before discovering that she had actually faced her worst enemy: herself.

He eventually traveled to Holast VII, where he managed to infiltrate the criminal organization of Glorga the Hutt. During his tenure with Glorga, Agent Ran was exposed to the conceited demeanor of the assassin Nakaron. When the Trandoshan recognized Ran from his work on Dosha, Nakaron tried to expose him as an Imperial agent. This coincided with the Second Hollastin Insurrection, during which both Nakaron and Ran fought valiantly to defend Glorga. In the end, Ran had killed many more smugglers, and was deemed a hero, while Nakaron was exiled from Glorga's court. Nakaron went crazy, killing Glorga and Ran in an intense firefight. Ran's death was one of many that prompted the New Republic to offer a significant bounty for Nakaron's capture.

Ranat
A small, rat-like race which was originally native to the planet Rydar II, Ranats appear at first to be a harmless race of rodents. They are, in fact, an intelligent race of ruthless killers. The name Ranat was given to the race by the humanoid Rydans, but they prefer to call themselves the Con Queecon, which means "the Conquerors." Several hundred years before the Galactic Civil War, Ranats were found to be stealing and eating Rydan infants. They were all but wiped out on Rydar, but three Ranats managed to stow away on a smuggling ship. The starship crashed on the planet Aralia after the three Ranats devoured the crew, and the Ranats were left there. They eventually consumed much of Aralia's native lifeforms, including the porcine roba. Ranats don't understand the concept of surrender, and will fight an opponent to the death. Any Ranat defeated in battle and left alive will return to its home and organize a vengeance party, attacking its attackers in order to restore its honor. They often sabotaged the construction of the Project Aralia amusement park, digging tunnels beneath support pylons and destroying buildings and attractions. The Empire attempted to eradicate them by hiring "pest controllers," but environmentalists protested that this violated Imperial laws against harming sentient races. The Empire decided to add the Ranat's to a list of semi-intelligent species, which meant that they had no rights to property and could be killed in self-defense, and made was illegal to arm a Ranat. However, the Ranats were never destroyed, and several Ranats found their way to Tatooine, where they took over Jabba's palace following the Hutt's demise. At one time during the New Order, Palpatine drugged Ranats with hallucinogens, then made the visions permanent with the Dark Side of the Force, and used the paranoid creatures as vicious guards. This freed up stormtroopers for more secret operations. More scientific experiments were also conducted by the Imperial Military to determine a way to use the Ranats against the Alliance.

Born some 174 years before the Battle of Naboo, this Thisspain Jedi Master served as a member of the Jedi Council shortly before the Clone Wars. Rancisis had no legs, and moved about on a repulsor chair. He had green skin, long fingers tipped with sharp nails, and a mass of flowing white hair. Oppo was trained as a Jedi by Yaddle, and was skilled in the art of Malacia. Oppo once inherited the leadership of the Monarchy of Thisspias when, at the age of twenty, his sister was murdered. However, he declined the position in order to pursue his studies of the Force. Among the Jedi Council, he was known for his skills in battle planning and strategy. His fleet strategies were invaluable during the Stark Hyperspace Conflict, as well as the Clone Wars that plunged the galaxy into turmoil.
Because of his age and his physical stature, Master Rancisis was one of the handful of Jedi Council members who remained on Coruscant during the Clone Wars. Some thirty months after the Battle of Geonosis, it was Master Rancisis who presided over the trial of Quinlan Vos. Based on the testimonies of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, not to mention Quinlan's own defense, Master Rancisis agreed to allow Quinlan to rejoin the Jedi Order. Shortly afterward, Master Rancisis asked Vos to serve as his second-in-command on a mission to Saleucami, where they hoped to locate Master Tholme and destroy the cloning facilities established on the planet by Sora Bulq. It was on Saleucami that Master Rancisis' skills as a tactician came to the fore, as it was his battle meditation that allowed the Republic's forces to gain several early victories.
However, in a bold move, the Separatist forces launched a direct attack on Master Rancisis' position, forcing him to break out of the battle meditation and defend himself. Although Master Rancisis defeated a horde of Anzati assassins, he was unprepared for the arrival of Sora Bulq. The Dark Jedi silently approached stabbed Rancisis in the chest with a pair of lightsabers, killing Master Rancisis and cutting off his coordination of the Republic's forces on Saleucami.

Rancor
Appearing to be part crustacean and part aranchid, the rancor was actually a species of reptomammal that stood an average of five or more meters in height. Native to Dathomir and several other planets, rancors had wickedly-clawed hands and feet, with a short tail providing balance. Their pudgy faces were dominated by a toothy maw, with their eyes and nostrils set just above the upper jaw. Thick, leathery skin and bony plates protected the rancor's body, and was capable of deflecting some lower-powered blaster bolts.
Being a reptomammal, the rancor was a creature that was warm-blooded and gave birth to live young, although the female rancor did not suckle her young. Note that The New Essential Guide to Alien Species indicates that female rancors laid clutches of two eggs, rather than bearing live young.
Many xenobiologists believed that the rancor might have been a subspeices of terentatek, based on the many similarities in their body structure, but this theory was never fully explored. What was known, though, was that there were several distinct subspecies of rancor found in the galaxy. The common rancor stood some five meters in height, while the pygmgy rancor was much smaller. It was commonly believed that the pygmy rancor was not a naturally-occurring species, but instead was an engineered species that was released on several planets.
The subspecies native to the planet Dathomir was much larger than the others, and could be trained by the Force-sensitive women of the planet and used as mounts. The rancors of Dathomir were believed to have been indebted to the witches since Allya came to Dathomir and rescued a sick rancor female. They were easily trained to do a number of tasks, including climbing and carrying riders.
Most beings knew of the rancor species from reports that Jabba the Hutt kept a rancor caged in his palace on Tatooine. The crimelord purposely kept the creature starved, so that he and his cronies could look on in horrid fascination as he dropped anyone who displeased him into the rancor's pit..
Despite their fearsome, crab-like appearance, most varieties of rancors generally dislike water. They preferred to remain on dry land, where they were better able to move about on their short hind legs. Also, despite their reputation, rancors tended to be nurturing and loving amongst themselves, as evidenced by the care with which a mother rancor cared for her young. The mother rancor shared her food with her offspring, and carried them on her back for several years, until they were able to walk on their own.

The Rancor Riders were generally regarded as losers who lacked any sort of income or credit, and were often seen carrying cobbled-together weapons that were powered by power cells that were scavenged from trash bins. They spent most of their time within their own little group, and rarely interacted with the rest of society. However, just after the onset of the Clone Wars, the Rancor Riders became involved with the criminal activities of the Black Queen. This brought the Rancor Riders into contact with a group of freelance agents who had been sent to Tolea Biqua by the Almas Academy, as part of a mission to bring the Black Queen to justice. Although the members of the Rancor Riders put up a fight, they were no match for the freelance agents, and were forced to back down and let them pursue the Black Queen.

Rand, Atton
This man was imprisoned on Peragus II during the years leading up to the Great Sith War. Little was known about his history, but Atton "Jaq" Rand was easily one of the luckiest men alive at the time. He seemed to be able to cheat death at every turn, and had survived more than his fair share of desparate situations. When not working to save his own life, Rand was a frequent patron of any cantina that offered pazaak matches to its patrons. Unknown to most of his casual acquaintences, Rand was a practitioner of the Echani martial arts. While he was imprisoned at Peragus II, Rand was oblivious the apparent murder of the entire mining colony and its support staff, which was brought to his attention by The Exile. When they learned of the plot to reawaken Darth Sion, Rand and The Exile set out to escape from Peragus II, and were joined in the escape by Jedi Master Kreia. When Kreia was injured while fighting Darth Sion, Rand questioned The Exile's callous treatment of the Jedi Master, forcing The Exile to talk to her and ensure her recovery. Rand's Echani skills were not revealed to The Exile until they were discovered by one of the Handmaiden Sisters on Telos. The rest of Rand's history was revealed on Nar Shaddaa, when he was recognized by a former soldier. Rand was forced to admit to The Exile that he had participated in both the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War, and had deserted his forces after the Battle of Malachor. Recognizing that Darth Revan was a strong leader, Rand joined the Sith and learned of ways to defeat a Jedi Knight in combat. Then, as part of an elite unit, Rand captured as many Jedi as he could, and turned them over to Darth Revan. When a female Jedi confronted him about his Force sensitivity and predicted that he would be turned into a Dark Jedi, Rand killed her. However, he saw himself in the Force, and feared that the woman was right. When he realized that the woman had died to protect the secret of his Force-sensitivity, he deserted the Sith, but was eventually recaptured and taken to Peragus II. With his story thus revealed, Atton asked The Exile if it were possible for him to become a Jedi Knight. The Exile agreed to train him, and Rand eventually learned enough about the Force to become a Jedi.

Rand, Kella
This woman worked as a reporter for the Galactic News Network during the early years of the New Republic. The daughter of parents who owned a refueling station, Kella discovered independence and self-reliance at an early age. She attended college on Corellia, majoring in diplomatic relations in the hope of learning more about other planets. However, she lacked the patience to deal with the nuances of diplomacy, and became an apprentice to a Corellian reporter in order to pay for her education. Upon graduation, she was hired by GNN, and once interviewed a childhood friend of Han Solo. After being given a column of her own, Kella was sent to Elom to cover a mining revolt, and was noted for her coverage of the investigation into the assassination of Shek Barayel on Indu San. She could covera any news event, from the fluff of the society pages to in-depth political analysis.

Rand Ecliptic
The ship Biggs Darklighter signs on with after getting his commission from the Imperial Academy, the Rand Ecliptic was a Class II frigate which was commissioned by the Empire just before the Battle of Yavin. Biggs was assigned as the ship's first mate, while Derek "Hobbie" Klivian was named its second mate. Unknown to both men, each was planning to mutiny and defect to the Alliance, as was a third party. Biggs and his team got out first, but Hobbie's team was generally credited with defeating the Imperial forces onboard and taking control of the ship. After Biggs and his men returned to the ship for supplies, their combined forces brought the Rand Ecliptic to the Alliance's base on Yavin 4 for refitting. Note that Star Wars: Empire #12 portrays the Rand Ecliptic as a craft similar in appearance to the Acclamator-class troopship.

RandoCluster Three
This was firing pattern used by certain capital ships that were armed with turbolaser cannons. The RandCluster Three pattern involved firing three turbolaser blasts into a given area, resulting in a triangle of blasts that exploded at different locations and at different intervals. By using this pattern, a starship's gunner could maximize their chances of hitting a moving target. Over time, however, many pilots learned that the RandoCluster Three pattern could be easy to penetrate, provided that a pilot had enough luck to make it all the way through.

Range
This was the name used by the New Republic military to describe the large, ground assault vehicles of the Yuuzhan Vong. The name came from the fact that the vehicles resembled mountain ranges. Like the smaller vehicles used by the Yuuzhan Vong, ranges moved about on cilia-like appendages on the bottom of the vehicle. They were protected by spiked, bony plates of armor, and used several of the Yuuzhan Vong's bio-organic weapons: dovin basals, plasma guns, and projectile launchers. Weapons were mounted on bony spikes that studded the spine and flanks of the range, making it look like a huge slug. It was later discovered that the Yuuzhan Vong referred to these vehicles as rakamats.

Its primary armament was a pair of MG1-A proton torpedo tubes, which were supplemented by a full complimentof laser cannon batteries. However, the Ranger and her crew were unprepared for the tactics of the Separatists, who used skirmisher vessels to breech the hull of the Ranger and several other ships. These skirmishers then disgorged battle droids into the boarded vessels. Only the timely actions of Jedi Master Halcyon saved the crew, defeating the battle droids and allowing the Ranger to limp away to a safe location to begin repairs.

This wild beast inhabits the A'driannamieq Mountains of Elom. These large felines prowled their lands in large, social packs, and would attack any outsiders to their territory. They preferred to feed on live prey, but would scavenge whenever prey was scarce. Their pelts were spotted and striped, giving them camouflage in their natural environment. The males had a short mane of fur around their heads. All ranphyx had wide, pointed ears and five horns on their faces: one on their forehead, one below each ear, and a pair on their chin. These horns provided both protection and additional attack capabilities. The leader of the pack was known to the Elomin as the kzenka, and every adult member of the pack helped in the training of the young.

Ranth
A mammalian race native to the planet Caaraz, the Ranth were humanoid carnivores with bluish fur and flat muzzles. Their mouths were filled with short, sharp teeth. They live on the glacial plains of the dark side of Caaraz, hunting for food whenever conditions allow it. There were two distinct factions of Ranth: those that remain hunters and animal-like in their ways, and those that have become more civilized and have become integrated with the galactic community. They were a short-tempered race, and seem to have little knowledge of their own history as a species. Individual families, however, maintain detailed histories of their own. Each Ranth community, therefore, had its own versions of history, and a planetwide government was never established. This was quickyl changed when the Empire discovered Caaraz, which had come to take the eleton gas from the planet. The Ranth could initially put up no resistance, and the Empire later employed the more civilized Ranth as hunters and bodyguards, safeguarding the local garrison against the planet's predators. However, the Empire began dumping its waste and fouling the environment, and the uncivilized Ranth became angry. They began ambushing Imperial soldiers and raiding bases. The Imperials demanded that the civilized Ranth put an end to this, and they began to hunt down their brethren. This led to a number of small skirmishes between Ranth communities and the Imperial forces, and kept the Ranth from emerging onto the galactic scene with a large presence. With the death of the Empire in the wake of the Battle of Endor, the civilized Ranth began to take control of former Imperial outposts, turning them into overcrowded cities. They also pushed their uncivilized brethren further into the wilderness, continuing to deepen the animosity between them.

This Gotal Senator to the New Republic was in charge of the Senate Justice Council during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. She oversaw the deposition of Senator Viqi Shesh, during the investigation of the events leading up to the debacle at the Battle of Fondor. When the Republic regrouped on Calamari, Senator Ranth was nominated as one of the candidates for the position of Chief of State. Many Senators worried that Ranth was not actually considering a true campaign, but was simply building up enough support so that she could withdraw at the last moment and sway the vote to another candidate in return for political favors. She maintained a good percentage of the vote, however, and was courted by both Fyor Rodan and Cal Omas in an effort to swing the vote. In the end, Ranth threw her support to Cal Omas. In return for her loyalty, Cal Omas promised Ranth a position on the High Council which oversaw the actions of the Jedi Knights.

He found himself in the midst of the machinations of Lord Gar-Oth, where the natives of the planetoid believed him to be The Foreseen. In an effort to help free Princess Lourdes, Yoshi claimed that he had married her, and was forced into battle against Gar-Oth's huge droid, The Goliath. While Lourdes defeated Gar-Oth in combat, Yoshi managed to jump on The Goliath's back and obtain the parts needed to repair his lightsaber. In a swift slash, Yoshi destroyed The Goliath's head and rendered the droid inoperable. It was later revealed that The Foreseen could only be a woman, who turned out to be Princess Lourdes herself. Yoshi was later rescued, but Lourdes asked him to grow up and return to her.

Rapid Cloning
This process was developed by the Empire, in a secret laboratory located beneath some Jedi ruins on the planet Dantooine. The cloning facilities themselves were built by the Jedi. The goal of the lab was to process clones in just under two weeks, rather than the year it normally took to produce a viable clone. Darth Vader himself oversaw the project, which started by using genetic material from dead members of the Alliance. Vader was able to clone many races with the facilities on Dantooine. The technique tended to be imperfect, with the resulting clones having only basic memories and lacking any of the original's imagination and technical knowledge. Vader overcame this problem by collecting mindscans from various subjects and impressing them onto the minds of his clones. When the mindscan proved successful, Vader tried to take the project one step further. He hoped to clone the Dantari and create an army of cloned warriors which would have no qualms about killing anything in its path. After the labs were discovered by Tash and Zak Arranda, and their uncle Hoole, Vader learned that there was a clone of himself running the facility. The clone even had some mastery of the Dark Side of the Force, but not enough to survive the real Vader's powers. It was later revealed that the real Vader had not known of the facility until he found it, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, while searching for the Alliance's hidden base. The clone was created from a tiny sample of blood left behind when Vader activated the facility's defenses.

Rapid Response Task Force
This military unit, known as the RRTF, was established by the New Republic's military leaders in an effort to react quickly to any threat that might destabilize the new government. In essence, the Rapid Response Task Force was a fleet-sized squadron of capital ships and starfighters that could be deployed to almost any location in the galaxy in a matter of days. The Commanders of the RRTF oversaw their operations from the flagship Justice, a Mon Calamari cruiser that was the sister ship of the Liberty. The primary vessels in the RRTF were five CC-7700/E interdiction cruisers, which could be deployed to envelope a planet in an intediction field that would prevent any ship from jumping into hyperspace. Additional ships included two Acclamator II-class cruisers and several Clone Wars-era battleships from both sides of the conflict. Starfighter support was provided by the 23rd Combat Starfighter Wing. Created shortly after the Battle of Endor, the RRTF was led by Luke Skywalker, who had hoped to limit his military involvement and use his skills as a Jedi to help the New Republic restore peace and security to the galaxy. It was Admiral Ackbar who eventually convinced Luke to take on the leadership role, citing that the instincts of a Jedi would be better used in directing the squad than in silent meditation. One of the RRTF's first missions was the elimination of the Imperial warlord who went by the name Lord Shadowspawn. Shadowspawn had established a base on the planet Mindor, which was screened by the rubble and debris that had been created by the Big Crush. This meant that the larger ships in the RRTF had to be kept well away from the planet, to protect them from impacts with the debris, and so starfighters would be the primary assault vessels for the attack.

Rappertunie
This Shawda Ubb musician played the growdi for the Max Rebo Band. His full name was Rapotwanalantonee Tivtotolon. He grew up wanting to travel, something most of his species loathed. As a child, Rappertunie saved his credits and eventually bought passage to Shanpan. While there, he encountered beings from a multitude of species and cultures, and he eventually joined a Shanpa band in order to earn more credits. It while playing with these bands that he adopted the name Rappertunie, since it was easier for other species to pronounce. When he saw the Max Rebo Band play on Manpha, Rappertunie was given the chance to join the band. He eagerly agreed, and his growdi music blended in nicely with the band's jizz sound. When the band was employed by Jabba the Hutt, Rappertunie found that the dry, desert heat affected his playing as well as dried out his skin. He petitioned Sy Snootles to break off the engagement, and his wish was answered when Jabba was killed at the Pit of Carkoon. After touring briefly with Sy Snootles until her career failed, Rappertunie took a job as a computer engineer with Rebaxan Columni, and worked on several upgrades to the MSE-6 line of droids.

Raptor
This piscine being was a noted bounty hunter who operated during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Raptor was easily distinguished by the large gills that dominated his head, which was topped with wiry hair that looked like tiny horns. Raptor was part of an unlikely group that was put together by Magus to hunt down Talesan Fry, after the young boy discovered their plans to assassinate twenty galactic leaders at a conference on Rondai-2. Raptor entered the Ulta Center by diving into one of the many pools that covered the grounds, using his gills to breathe underwater as he worked his way inside the complex. Upon entering the Ulta Center, Raptor found that he had been followed by Qui-Gon Jinn. He tried to fire his rocket launcher at the Jedi Master, but Qui-Gon was able to outsmart the bounty hunter. The Jedi was able to momentarily confuse a rocket, causing it to target Raptor instead. Raptor was unable to move out of the way, and perished in the resulting explosion.

This Yuuzhan Vong warrior was a member of the same Domain as Vua Rapuung. Hul Rapuung was assigned duty on Yavin 4, during the attempt to capture a Jedi Knight from Luke Skywalker's praxeum. Hul was on duty when Vua suddenly reappeared, after having been reported dead by Qe'u. When the heretical work of the Shaper Mezhan Kwaad was revealed, as well as her part in Vua Rapuung's Shaming, Hul Rapuung confronted her. He offered her one chance to redeem herself, forcing her to truthfully answer one question from her former lover. When Kwaad admits that she believed there were no true gods, Hul Rapuung and his warriors fought to allow the Jedi Knights to go free. They were badly outnumbered by their brethren who believed in the old gods, and were swiftly cut down. Their sacrifice, inlcuding Hul Rapuung's death, was not in vain, however, as the Jedi were able to escape Yavin 4.

Rapuung, Vua
This Yuuzhan Vong warrior was once in love with the Shaper Mezhan Kwaad. The pair had hoped that the gods would condone their emotional attachment, but it was not to be. Rather than give up his status as a warrior, and threaten Mezhan's status as a Shaper, Vua broke off their relationship before they could be discovered. Mezhan felt scorned, and infected Vua with a disease that made his body reject the ritual scars that were demanded of a warrior. Vua was forced to relinquish his position as a warrior and became one of the Shamed Ones, although he knew that his status was the fault of Mezhan Kwaad and not the gods. He vowed to exact revenge on her, and found his chance when both were stationed on Yavin 4, during the invasion of the New Republic. Vua Rapuung encountered Anakin Solo in the forest, after having faked his death in an effort to plan his revenge. He claimed that his meeting with Anakin was required for his plans, and faked his death in order to reach Anakin. Vua agreed to help Anakin rescue Tahiri Veila, as the action helped get him closer to Mezhan Kwaad. Once inside the Shapers' damutek, Vua confronted Mezhan about his affliction. She revealed that had, indeed, been her doing that Shamed him, and the warriors among the Yuuzhan Vong allowed Vua a momentary return of status before killing him in battle. Vua's valiant efforts allowed Anakin and Tahiri to escape the damutek complex and return to the Jedi.

Rar, Alema
This blue-skinned Twi'lek female and her sister, Numa, were part of the new order of Jedi Knights who trained under Luke Skywalker in the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. A former dancer, Alema and Numa trained briefly under Daeshara'cor before being dispatched to assist with the resistance on New Plympto. The strength of the sisters helped rally the natives of the planet, but the Yuuzhan Vong simply unleashed a plague which destroyed all life on the surface. Alema and Numa fled with several thousand refugees, managing to escape the system aboard the Nebula Chaser. Unfortunately, the cruiser was intercepted by the Yuuzhan Vong and searched. During their attempt to avoid being captured, Numa was the first of the Jedi to be killed by a voxyn. Alema managed to survive the mission, and she continued to serve the war effort as part of Twin Suns Squadron. During the final stages of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, after the living planet Zonama Sekot agreed to help bring about an end to the conflict, Alema was one of several Jedi Knights were bonded to seed-partners and provided with Sekotan starships.
Five years later, when UnuThul sent out his call for help, Alema was among seven young Jedi who dropped whatever mission they were currently on and traveled to the Unknown Regions to answer the call. Unlike Zekk and Jaina Solo, Alema believed that the Chiss were planning to destroy every hive of the Colony, despite the fact that the Force had given the Jedi no indications of the true nature of the conflict. Thus, when the Chiss sent a team of ships to defoliate the worlds of Ruu and Zvbo, Alema chose to take the fight to the Chiss, before they could deploy their chemicals. She gleefully shot down Chiss clawcraft, hoping to make the survivors understand the consequences of trying to exterminate the Colony.
When Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, tried to extricate Jaina and her fellow Jedi from the Colony, Alema agreed to accompany them to negotiate a peaceful solution to the Colony's conflict with the Chiss. Although she claimed to simply plan to serve as their guide through Colony space, Alema actually planned to sabotage their mission. They were able to incapacitate her and bind her, preventing her from killing them, and brought her to Ossus for interrogation. She managed to steal a ship and flee to Kr, where she rejoined the Gorog nest. However, Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade Skywalker followed her there, and confronted Alema beneath the moon's icy surface. In a raging lightsaber battle, Luke managed to get through Alema's defenses and slash her from the shoulder to the sternum. As she collapsed, Alema dropped her lightsaber. Master Skywalker recovered the weapon for safekeeping, and left her to die.
However, she refused to give in to death, and eventually returned to the Gorog and recovered. However, the wound to her shoulder never fully healed, and hampered her lightsaber techniques. While she healed, Alema Rar began to refer to herself as the Night Herald of the Dark Nest, claiming that she took the role after BedaGorog was killed. According to the story she gave to Luke Skywalker on Woteba about a year later, it was BedaGorog whom Luke had injured on Kr, not Welk, and that BedaGorog died from the wounds she suffered. Alema then tried to sow distrust between Luke and Mara by claiming that Mara was hiding information on the truth behind the death of Daxar Ies. When the Gorog were ready to launch their escape from the Utegetu Nebula, Alema Rar was aboard the frigate that tried to commandeer the Admiral Ackbar. During the fighting, she was confronted by Leia Organa Solo, who managed to sever one of her lekku before Alema could escape. Alema reappeared during the Battle of Tenupe, where she was confronted again by Leia in the mogo trees of Tenupe. Leia nearly faltered, when Alema forced her toward a hidden spider sloth, but she was able to turn around and regain her footing. In this meantime, the spider sloth rose up and took Alema Rar in its mouth. Leia watched as the beast fell from its branch and crashed to the jungle floor, all the while eating Alema Rar alive.
With the end of the Swarm War, it was believed that Alema Rar had perished on Tenupe. However, she managed to survive the fall and extracted herself from the beast's gut, although not without suffering injuries and disfigurement herself. She spent seven years recovering from her injuries, during which time she turned her anger and hatred into a deeper connection to the Dark Side of the Force. When she finally completed her recovery, Alema set out to make Leia Solo and her entire family pay for the injuries caused on Tenupe. In this way, Alema Rar believed that she would once again restore The Balance in her life. Her first mission was to eliminate Jacen Solo, which brought her to Coruscant. She tracked Jacen to the Well of the World Brain, and would have killed him if he hadn't had a warning from Lumiya. Lumiya tried to convince Jacen that Alema had probably been hired as an assassin by the Bothan Reh'mwa, which gave the GAG a reason to begin targetting Bothan dissidents. After Alema ambushed Tresina Lobi, during a secret meeting between Jacen and Lumiya, the Dark Jedi decided to take Alema as a second apprentice. As Lumiya's silent partner, Alema Rar was able to assist the Dark Jedi in ambushing Luke and Mara Skywalker on Roqoo Depot. Alema squared off against Mara, in a lightsaber duel that swiftly came to physical blows. Mara managed to enough leverage to drive Alema Rar to the ground, rendering her unconscious. However, before she could dispatch the Twi'lek, Mara discovered that she had a dead-man switch wired to monitor her heartbeat. Should Alema die, the explosives strapped to her chest would explode. Unknown to Luke, Lumiya was wired the same way. Thus, when he shot her three times in the chest with a blaster, it was all the Skywalkers could do to escape before the explosives detonated. The Skywalkers fled Roqoo Depot, believing that Alema Rar and Lumiya had died in the explosion.
Alema Rar managed to escape, however, boarding a message drone that was programmed to return to the Anakin Solo. Once onboard, she relayed to Jacen the events on Roqoo Depot, including the death of Lumiya. She then stowed away on the Duracrud, and used her powers to coerce Captain Uran Lavint to help her hunt down the Han and Leia Solo. To prove herself, Alema helped to repair the ship's hyperdrive, and the pair set off on their hunt. They nearly caught the Solos aboard the Errant Venture, but were forced to trail them to Gyndine and then Gilatter Eight. At Gilatter Eight, Alema Rar was reunited with Lumiya, and together they set out to do whatever damage they could as the naval forces of The Confederation tried to trap a similar fleet from the Galactic Alliance. However, Alema's motivations cotninued to be directed at hurting the Solos, and Lumiya began to wonder about her suitability as a servant. Lumiya openly questioned her commitment to finding Balance, but gave Alema the task of tracking Jacen Solo's movements, in an effort to keep a better watch on her.
When Lumiya was killed by Luke Skywalker in the wake of the murder of Mara Jade Skywalker, Alema set out to continue the Dark Lady's work. She traveled to Korriban to locate the members of the new Sith, and was confused when she learned that these Sith had little to do with Jacen's training. The Sith did reveal that Lumiya had been working with Vergere to speed up the development of the One Sith, an effort that was centered on Jacen's ascension to the role of Dark Lord of the Sith. Although they could tell her no more, the Sith provided Alema Rar with the Vectivus Holocron, in hopes that she could use it to assist with Jacen's training. Following the information that placed Jacen at Kashyyyk, Alema Rar set out to find him. When she did, she witnessed the Anakin Solo and the Galactic Alliance's Fifth Battle Group being routed by the combined naval forces arrayed against them. Drawing on the Dark Side of the Force, she reached out and began influencing the Bothan commanders she encountered, impelling them to break their confinement position and allowing the surviving Galactic Alliance ships to escape. When she discovered the presence of Han and Leia Solo near Kashyyyk, Alema turned her attention to her prey. Using a projection technique learned from the Sith, she sent a Force phantom to the Millennium Falcon and attacked them. This projection resembled Alema in her whole form, and was capable of inflicting damage to the ship's hyperdrive. As soon as the Solos realized what was going on, Alema withdrew the phantom, leaving them with the knowledge that she could attack them at any time.
However, this skill took its toll on her body, and she could only keep the avatar active for a short period of time. Once she had expended her energy, Alema Rar retreated to Lumiya's asteroid in the MZX32905 System, to restore her strength in the presence of the Dark Side of the Force. Alema came to question Lumiya's use of the asteroid's connection to the Dark Side, since Lumiya used it to further Jacen Solo's training, while Alema used it for her own benefit. When she next chose to use her Force phantom, however, Alema was angry to learn that Leia Solo had figured out what was happening. Her anger only increased when Jagged Fel told her that Lumiya had explained the Force phantom to them, before she died. She retreated to the asteroid, hoping to learn more about the Force phantom and how to use it with more effectiveness. Fel and his team pursued her to the asteroid and infiltrated it, making no attempt to hide their presence. Alema was forced to create three distinct Force phantoms, since Jagged, Jaina Solo, and Zekk all took different approaches to her lair. While she engaged Zekk and Jag from a distance, she attacked Jaina directly. During their battle, the crew of the Poison Moon set off a series of explosives that were meant to trap of kill Alema Rar. Believing them to be the work of Jagged Fel, Alema left Jaina behind and setout to confront Fel.
She caught up with Jag as he was about to set off his own explosives, and used the Force to fling them away from herself. She then used te Force to take Jag's blaster, and believed that she had finally defeated him. However, Fel had set the blaster to explode if it wasn't in his possession, and the blast caught Alema Rar in the chest and face. Her right arm and a good part of her skin was blasted away, and Alema Rar knew that she was going to die. Jagged then grabbed her neck with his Mandalorian crushgaunts, and moved to snap her neck. As there was no chance to survive the encounter, Alema sent Jag a message through the Force: remember me as I was, before the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Jag agreed, then crushed the life from her body in an act of mercy, rather than murder.

Rasi Tuum
This immense Cathar was one of the handful of Jedi Masters who survived the Massacre at Ossus, although his Padawan, Azlyn Rae, believed that he had died on Coruscant when the Sith took control of the planet. Master Rasi Tuum had actually managed to escape the attacks and fled to the Hidden Temple on Taivas, where he helped Master T'ra Saa gather any Jedi survivors. When a delegation of Imperial Knights arrived at the Hidden Temple, Master Rasi Tuum was surprised and upset when one of them turned out to be his former student, Azlyn Rae. Through the Force, Master Rasi Tuum could discern that Azlyn was feeling a great deal of conflict, having completed her training in the Force under the tutelage of the Imperial Knights. He understood her loyalties to the Imperials, but urged her to return to the ranks of the surviving Jedi Knights.
Unknown to the two Jedi, Jariah Syn was following them, having recognized Master Rasi Tuum as the Jedi who was responsible for the death of his father, Zareb Syn. Syn attacked the Jedi Master, using blaster fire and Yuuzhan Vong bugs to drive Master Rasi Tuum back. Rasi Tuum countered each attack, before getting a chance to take stock of the situation. He allowed Jariah Syn to tell his side of the story, then calmly explained the reality of the situation that resulted in Zareb Syn's death. Jariah had been told by Rav that Rasi Tuum had killed his father and other members of Rav's crew, who were trying to prevent the Jedi from taking a group of younglings from their homes on the planet Roon. The truth was that Rav's crew was on Roon to steal Roonstones and other gems, and they planned to take the children so that they could be sold into slavery. Master Rasi Tuum stepped in to to prevent this, and was forced into a deadly battle with the crew members who tried to kill the Jedi and take the children, including that of Zareb Syn.When a memory of a young Arkanian girl pleading for her life flooded back into Jariah's mind, he realized that Master Rasi Tuum was speaking the truth, and broke off his attack.

As an individual, Raskin was known to have allowed herself to become romantically involved with other powerful individuals, but her emotions were just a façade that she used to extract information from them. When she had learned their secrets, Raskin discarded her paramours and used any information to destroy their careers. In this way, she gained more and more power, and remained loyal to the one being that mattered most in the galaxy: herself.

Rast'Tul
This man served as a Colonel in the Thaereian Military, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Colonel Rast'Tul was assigned the task of forming a pair of task forces, designated Task Force Pest and Task Force Vermin, to harass starship traffic in the Cularin System. The ships in each task force were to be indistinguishable from pirates or other criminal vessels, with the intention of causing chaos in the space near Cularin. The goal of forming these task forces was to give the Thaereian leadership a reason to increase its presence in the Cularin System, in order to put and end to such "criminal" activity.
During the investigation into the two task forces, a group of freelance agents hired by Osten Dal'Nay also learned that Rast'Tul had been behind the kidnapping of Night Forael Wren, the daughter of Senator Lavina Wren. By holding Night hostage, Rast'Tul was able to keep Senator Wren from doing anything to oppose the Thaereian occupation of the Cularin System. This went on for about a year, before a group of freelance agents managed to rescue the young girl and her guardian, Nannat. As they fled Thaereian space, Rast'Tul gave Night a final message, reminding the girl that he loved her. He let the agents escape, claiming that he didn't want to risk Night's life in a dogfight.

He gladly accepted Zekk's help when Ennth's moon began its close orbit, and they got most everyone to a space station before the worst damage occurred. When Zekk questioned why the settlers kept rebuilding rather than resettling on a less active planet, Rastur explained that Ennth was their world, and theirs alone, and they felt that they owed it to the planet and themselves to carry on. He was devstated by the loss of Shinnan, but kept working to ensure everyone else was safe.

Ratobo
This Bith served the Galactic Alliance Navy as an Admiral, and was in command of the Fourth Fleet during the Alliance's conflict with The Confederation. Aboard the flagship Peacebringer, Admiral Ratobo was ordered to defend the planet Balmorra. However, his fleet was overmatched by the Hutt fleet of warships that attacked Balmorra, and the planet was lost to The Confederation. Admiral Ratobo found himself struggling with his orders when Jacen Solo forced him to continue the fight, even after the outcome had been decided. Ratobo wanted to know why Solo was throwing away good ships and soldiers, but only received nebulous answers about it being necessary, if only to make the Commenorian and Huttese forces pay for their capture of the planet.
Although Ratobo accepted his orders, he found that he could not fully trust Solo's ability to lead the Alliance's military forces, especially if he kept the true reasons for his actions to himself. However, he was unable to voice his concerns to any other of his peers or superiors, because the Peacebringer took heavy fire from Confederation warships and was destroyed. All hands were lost in the explosion.

Rattatak
The history of this planet was written in blood, as the natives were considered barbarians who lived with violence and bloodshed on a daily basis. The planet was located in a remote cornor of the galaxy, and was unknown even into the last days of the Old Republic. Because resources were scarce on the planet, and since there was no trade with the outside galaxy, the struggle for survival became paramount to the native Rattataki. Small tribes gathered together to pool their resources, and wars over fertile ground became commonplace. This evolution toward violence kept the Rattataki from discovering space travel, and they were quite unprepared when a starship full of slavers arrived on Rattatak. However, the Rattataki quickly realized that the slavers could bring stronger warriors to Rattatak, and renewed violence spread across the planet. This barbaristic existence was temporarily halted when Asajj Ventress rose to power, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. When she left Rattatak to join Count Dooku, Rattatak reverted to its old ways.
(SWDB, CWC1)
Rattataki
This race of near-humans, characterized by their thin bodies and pasty-white skin, was native to the remote world of Rattatak. Because resources were scarce on Rattatak, and since there was no trade with the outside galaxy, the struggle for survival became paramount to the Rattataki. Small tribes gathered together to pool their resources, and wars over fertile ground became commonplace. Younglings were regularly tested in battle, since every able-bodied being in a clan had to protect their resources from rival clans. This evolution toward violence kept the Rattataki from discovering space travel, and they were quite unprepared when a starship full of slavers arrived on Rattatak. The wiry Rattataki were of no use to the slavers, being too difficult to train. However, the Rattataki quickly realized that the slavers could bring stronger warriors to Rattatak, and renewed violence spread across the planet. Tribal warlords began pitting personal champions and gladiators against each other in large arenas, leading to the formation of the Blood Sport of Rattatak.

(GCG)
Rav
This Feeorin male was a noted pirate and criminal who rose to power in the century following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. During his early career, Rav lost his right leg in combat, and had it replaced with a prosthesis that was equipped with a variety of weapons emplacements. He regularly tattooed his followers with his Bloody Bones mark, which also identified those individuals who owed him credits.
After retiring as a pirate, Rav turned to bounty hunting as a career, and later established a bounty-clearing house on Socorro. He partially buried his own starship, the Crimson Axe, at the foot of Sarlaac's Peak in the Killee Wasteland, and used it as his base of operations. As a matter of business, Rav made the discovery of personal vices one of his priorities, as evidenced by his business relationship with Cade Skywalker. Cade often worked from a position of owing Rav money, having borrowed credits to fix up his starship, the Mynock. Rav often cleared any debts when Cade brought in a particularly notorious bounty, but then provided Cade with several death sticks "on the house." In this way, Rav exploited Cade's addiction to keep him under his control.
Thus, Rav was quite disappointed when Deliah Blue and Jariah Syn arrived on Socorro without Cade at their side. Syn's explanation, that they had dropped Cade from their group, seemed to satisfy Rav, so the crimelord approached them with a job offer. Unknown to the two hunters, however, was the fact that Rav had already turned them over to the head of Imperial Intelligence, Nyna Calixte. In exchange, Rav acquired the Grinning Liar as payment, and to replace the Mynock. Believing that Cade Skywalker was finally out of commission, Rav retreated into the Crimson Axe to run his business. His otherwise normal existence was shattered when Cade and Chak'ka appeared at the Golden Gorg, demanding the release of the Grinning Liar. Rav refused, and Cade drew his lightsaber. In a matter of seconds, Cade had killed most of the thugs in the cantina and confronted Rav, forcing him back with the lightsaber and the use of Force lightning. Faced with imminent death, Rav was forced to accede to Skywalker's demands.
He did not, however, believe that Cade had finally broken his addictions, nor did he believe that Cade was found a way to become debt-free. Thus, Rav agreed to funnel any information on Skywalker's location to Darth Maladi, in exchange for credits and his own continued existence. When the Sith Lord explained that any failure to deliver accurate information would meanhis death, Rav understood that he was now little more than her indentured servant.

This starship as the flagship of the Sith fleet that was amassed by Darth Nihilus, in the wake of the Jedi Civil War. The vessel was heavily damaged, having been one of the few ships to survive the Battle of Malachor, and she and her crew were only held together by the sheer will of Darth Nihilus's power. Darth Nihilus took the ship to Telos to destroy the planet, but was intercepted by The Exile and his team. In the fighting that took place, Darth Nihilus was destroyed, and the Ravager was rigged to explode. As The Exile escaped, the Ravager was torn apart by the explosions.

Ravein, Kayala
This young woman grew up on the planet Alderaan, many years before the Battle of Yavin. The daughter of a politician, Kayala believed that she would grow up and follow in his footsteps, and eventually bring peace and order to the galaxy. Her dreams were destroyed in a single day, when a smuggler who was trying to avoid capture struck and killed her mother with a transport speeder. The pain that she felt was compounded when she learned that the smuggler had escaped from Alderaan and was not being pursued. Information had been realyed to the military of the Old Republic, her father explained, and it was up to them to bring the smuggler to justice. Kayala decided that she needed to take matters into her own hands. Throwing her dreams to the wind, she enlisted the help of a bounty hunter, and began training herself to avenge her mother's death. Telling her father that she was going on an extended vacation, Kayala set out to find and kill the man who took her mother from her. This was accomplished in no time, and Kayala decided to continue her new life. However, she recognized that her father's role on Alderaan could be a valuable source of information. She adopted the monicker of Ra Katana, and spent months away from home tracking down and eliminating the galaxy's worst individuals. At home, she simply claimed to be taking vacations or attending social events, and her father was no wiser. Her use of the luxury yacht Mystic Wanderer allowed her to retain a level of diplomatic immunity - she was the daughter of a prominent politician, after all - while tracking down her targets.

After joining the Alliance full-time, she became a Master Sergeant with the Alliance's Infiltrator squadron. She was promoted to Master Sergeant after a failed raid on Bevell III, despite the fact that her entire team had been killed when the mission was compromised. She knew that the promotion was more propaganda than reward, but accepted it. When the Infiltrators were disbanded, Raventhorn became part of Red Team Five, but was captured by Imperial forces on Zelos II after a raid on the garrison there failed. She was imprisoned with Dirk Harkness, and both were severely tortured and interrogated, then left for dead in a prison cell. Neither knew how long they had been there when Platt Okeefe and Tru'eb Cholakk arrived to rescue Harkness, and Raventhorn was rescued with him. Jai's younger sister, Morgan, was a Major in the Alliance's Special Operations team until her death at Endor.

She initially joined the scout service as a mechanic, but soon found herself disillusioned by the lack of direction in her life. She jumped ship at Rodaj and tried to find work with the mining colony there, which was where she met T'Charek Haathi. Haathi's dream of joining the Alliance appealed to Morgan, and she followed Haathi when she left Rodaj. Morgan became one of the best techs in the Alliance, and was recruited by Haathi to join her Special Operations shipjacking team. Morgan joined up, although her youthful exuberance often grated on her team's nerves during a mission. After many successful missions, and as she matured within the military, Morgan was promoted to Major within the Alliance's Special Operations team. A tall, dark-haired girl, Morgan was killed during the Battle of Endor.

Ravik
This tall, emaciated Imperial Grand Moff controlled the Tolonda Sector during the Galactic Civil War. Born with the true nature of the New Order in his blood, Ravik rose quickly through the ranks. However, Ravik was not satisfied with the rank of Grand Moff. He wanted the control and power than Grand Moff Tarkin had in the Outer Rim. During transport to an Imperial enclave, Ravik's shuttle was intercepted by Alliance starfighters and captured. Ravik was taken prisoner and was placed on the transport Celestial for relocation to a penal world. When Bane Nothos devised an escape plan, Ravik supported it, but quickly took control of the ragtag group of convicts. He tried to steal the Celestial, but its Captain sent it into hyperspace with a damaged motivator, hoping to destroy it. Instead, the ship was flung into Otherspace, where the Charon captured it. Ravik made a deal with the Charon leader, Ber'asco, sacrificing his own crew for continued existence. Ravik's deal involved helping the Charon get into realspace and exterminate any life they found there. He planned to deliver the galaxy's rebels to them, solidifying Palpatine's positon as Emperor and ensuring his own promotion. However, the Alliance agents sent to pilot the Celestial to a penal world soon found the ship in Otherspace, and tried to capture Ravik. He was by then deep in the clutches of Ber'asco, who survived the Alliance attacks and fled back to Otherspace. Ravik's mind was retained in the Charon computer until the Charon were ready to launch an attack on the known galaxy. When the Desolate was linked to Ber'asco's mind for the coordination of the jump, Ravik's mind attacked Ber'asco's. A strange and epic battle ensued within the computer system, until Ravik finally triumphed over Ber'asco. Ravik then took control of Ber'asco's mind and body, and ordered the Charon bioscientists to create a modified form for him, incorporating the spider-like Charon body with Ravik's human head, arms, and torso. The exoskeleton was created with an energy cannon built into the torso, and a rocket pack on the back to provide the Ravik-construct with more maneuverability. Then, Ravik ordered the assault on the known galaxy under his own command. However, as the Desolate made its jump into hyperspace, Ber'asco was able to take control of Bane Nothis' body and confront Ravik. They fought, with the primary result being damage to the ship's main computer systems. Instead of emerging from hyperspace near Stronghold, a planet Ravik had learned of from the Celestial's computer, the Desolate collided with the world, causing severe damage to the ship. The Charon launched their conquest of the galaxy, but Alliance agents arrived to supplement the settlers. Ber'asco managed to make contact with the Alliance, and their uneasy partnership resulted in a confrontation with Ravik. Ber'asco attacked first, but only wounded Ravik before Ravik crushed him to death. During the battle, the rocket pack on Ravik's back was activated, and Ravik was flung across the barren plains. He somehow survived, and hid on one of the Alliance's transports. Once discovered, Ravik was assaulted by the Alliance soldiers, whose combined firepower penetrated the Charon exoskeleton and destroyed Ravik once and for all.

Rawk, "Bantha"
This man worked as a mechanic and weapons expert at the Selonian shipyards, more than 100 years after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was Rawk who built the custom double-blaster weapon used by Cade Skywalker, who came to think of Rawk as his uncle. Rawk was married to the Kiffar woman known as Droo, and together they had a daughter named Ahnah. They also adopted two boys, Micah and Skeeto. In the wake of the Sith-Imperial War, Bantha and his family "retired" to Iego, although Bantha continued to maintain a full workshop. He earned a good living by supplying new starship drive systems to small corporations like the Starlight Yards. His hideaway was eventually discovered by agents of various organizations, not the least of which was Black Sun, forcing Bantha and Droo to establish a series of defenses around their estate.
Cade Skywalker later learned that Bantha was actually an alias, and that Bantha Rawk really was his uncle. Bantha was actually Nat Skywalker, a former Jedi Knight who had left the Jedi Order for reasons only he could explain. Bantha explained his past to Droo, but they decided to keep this knowledge from their children, for their own protection. He took on the alias of "Bantha" Rawk to help hide his true identity from the Imperials and the Sith. Thus, when Cade arrived on Iego after escaping from the Sith Temple on Coruscant, Bantha was not pleased to learn of his actions. Unfortunately, Bantha's entire family learned of Cade's identity and his actions during a newscast about Darth Krayt's plans to exterminate the Mon Calamari race, following the theft of the Imperious. Cade was labeled a terrorist by the media, and his presence on Iego threatened the entire Rawk family. Bantha got into an argument with Cade, claiming that the young man was impulsive and foolish, and the two came to blows before settling down.
Bantha put aside his frustration at Cade when Azlyn Rae arrived at their estate. She had taken the bounty to locate Cade, but only so that she could determine if he was the Jedi student she had known on Ossus. When he turned out to be her old friend, Azlyn forgot the hunt and agreed to let Cade go free. However, an Imperial task force led by Captain Gurlok arrived on Iego, after a team of Black Sun operatives claimed to have seen Cade Skywalker on Ossus. Although Bantha refused to talk, Azlyn spoke up, and used the Force to convince Captain Gurlok that Skywalker had never been on Ossus. This allowed Cade to hide in Bantha's basement until the Imperials left the planet. When Cade returned, Bantha urged him to eliminate everything that identified him as Cade Skywalker, and to disappear into the galaxy before any more trouble could happen. Cade refused, and set out to bring down Darth Krayt and the New Sith Order.
Bantha and Droo then decided that it would be safer for their family if Droo took their children to her parents' home on Kiffu, while Bantha set out to make sure Cade was safe. He traveled with Cade and the others, and led them to the remote world of Taivas. There, he revealed the location of the Hidden Temple, a secret place he had helped construct many years earlier, in case the Jedi Order ever needed a place to hide from their enemies. Among the gathered Jedi, Cade explained his plans for assassinated Darth Krayt, prompting Bantha to question his nephew's commitment to the Light Side of the Force. The assembled Jedi Masters concurred with his assessment, but refused to take any action against Darth Krayt. This frustrated Bantha, who had seen what the Sith Lord had done to the Mon Calamari and knew that the Sith needed to be brought to justice. However, when Cade set off on his own mission to kill Darth Krayt, Bantha decided to remain behind. He wanted to travel to Kiffu to make sure his family was all right, which Cade accepted without an argument.

Rawk, Ahnah
This young woman was the daughter of Droo and "Bantha" Rawk. When Ahnah was just sixteen, Jariah Syn tried to become involved with her, but only drew the ire of her parents. Several years later, Jariah arrived at her parent's estate on Iego with Cade Skywalker. Cade was trying to lie low after escaping from the Sith Temple on Coruscant, but Ahnah hardly cared why they were there. She was simply glad to be in Jariah's company again. When Imperial Captain Gurlok arrived on Iego in search of Skywalker, Ahnah's parents agreed that it would be best to leave their estate for a while, until the trouble smoothed itself out. Droo took Ahnah and her adopted brothers, Micah and Skeeto, to her family's home on Kiffu, while Bantha set out to make sure Cade was safe.

Rawk, Droo
This female Kiffar was married to "Bantha" Rawk, during the era of the Sith-Imperial War. She was known among her friends for her bilaberry patogga, or pie, which she often served with cold blue milk. Droo and the rest of her family - including their biological daughter, Ahnah, and two adopted sons, Micah and Skeeto - "retired" to Iego when Bantha lef the Selonian shipyards. Although she kept it secret from their children, Droo knew of Bantha's true past, and his relationship to Cade Skywalker. Some seven years after the Massacre at Ossus, Droo welcomed Cade and his friends into their home, although she and Bantha were both unware of his escape from the Sith Temple. When news of his escape reached them, Droo became angry and questioned why Cade would bring his troubles to Iego. Her anger was justified when Captain Gurlok of the Imperial Navy arrived in search of Cade, who had been hidden in the basement. Although they were able to drive the Imperials off, Droo knew that their idyllic existence on Iego had come to an end. She agreed to take their children back to Kiffu, while Bantha did what he could to protect Cade.

Rawk's Nest
This was the name used to describe the base of operations that was maintained by "Bantha" Rawk, during the years following the Sith-Imperial War. The base was located on one of the few rocky landmasses found on the planet Iego. About seven years after the Battle of Caamas, the Rawk's Nest was attacked by warships that were allied with Black Sun. Just after the attack, Cade Skywalker and the crew of the Mynock reached the planet Iego, and they helped drive off the Black Sun ships.

Rawl
This devious serpent was distinguished by the frill of skin that surrounded its neck. Rawls were known for their ability to camouflage themselves and lie in wait for their prey, which they dragged into their nests to consume. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Doctor Relan Smiff discovered that the rawls were growing to immense proportions, and were using the fans on their necks to assist in swimming.

Rawl, Boo
This freight hauler, a native of the planet Hazzard, was an independent spacer until the Empire started to dictate how the galaxy - and the individuals in it - should be managed. He chafed against Imperial control until he saw only one viable option: join the Alliance and fight against the Empire. He keeps an extensive collection of hard-core music in his barge driver, the Long Run. Most of the music was banned by the Empire, which was all the impetus Boo needed to listen to it. His collection was believed to be the largest - and loudest - in the Alliance fleet. Boo Rawl assisted Deen Voorson in retrieving a Colony Class 23669 power generator from the Kuat Drive Yards, only to find that Deen's nine-year-old cousin Shannon had stowed away on his ship. The pursuing Imperials left him without options, and the three sped away to an Alliance base with the generator.

This female bounty hunter paired up with Krestock in an effort to hunt down Philo Taal, although neither realized that there was no official bounty posted. They disagreed over how to split the bounty, so they agreed to each take one of Philo's legs and pull until he split like a wishbone. In the end, though, Raxine simply shot Philo dead. Raxine and Krestock never received payment, except for the fact that Philo's brother, Reglis Taal, hunted them down adn executed them for their parts in Philo's death.

Raxis
This Gotal was one of the instigators of the violence that erupted among the colfillini plantations on Antar 4, some fifteen years before the onset of the Clone Wars. Raxis and Nolid were known to work their laborers to the point of death, and refused to relinquish control of their plantations to relief workers. In order to protect their investments, Raxis and Nolid worked to eliminate any being who opposed them, using devious business practices or killing off their competition. They were eventually arrested by Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn, and the representatives of the Galactic Republic who were dispatched to resolve the violence, but Republic law required them to simply fine Raxis and Nolid for their actions and set them free. This outcome did not sit well many local farmers, nor with the families of those third-party personnel who were sent to Antar 4 to help resolved the situation, but were killed in the fighting.

Raxus Prime
The innermost planet of the Raxus System, which was located in the Tion Hegemony, Raxus Prime was one an outpost world that was garrisoned by the Old Republic, during the years leading up to the Great Sith War. After part of the planet was devastated by the Dark Reaper, Raxus Prime was abandoned by its inhabitants. Over the centuries, Raxus Prime became known as the galaxy's junkyard, having been set aside for the disposal of all sorts of materials in the wake of the Great Sith War. This created pools of toxic sludge and piles of radiated debris, and gave the planet's atmosphere a toxic undertone. With the construction and operation of a Sienar Fleet Systems refinery and reclamation facility on Raxus Prime, any remaining hospitable conditions were eliminated. Much of the planet's water was polluted, and that which was not evaporated and became acid rain. The surface of the planet was criss-crossed by magnetic field-lines that helped the automated junk haulers move about in regular patterns. Over time, these magnetic lines created a kind of floating debris field that was not unlike the rings of a larger planet.
Count Dooku reappeared on this planet, some years before the onset of the Clone Wars, after having left the Jedi Order to further his own agenda. Despite the planet's decaying layer of junk, Dooku maintained a luxurious abode beneath the scrap, which he used to hide from the rest of the galaxy in the wake of the Battle of Geonosis. Dooku also spend a large sum of credits excavating the surface of the planet, looking for the Force Harvester. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Raxus Prime was relegated to a galactic junkyard, until the Empire began building a Star Destroyer shipyard in orbit around the planet. Using the scrap metal found on the planet's surface, the Empire was able to accommodate the construction of more than a dozen ships at one time. A massive cannon was built to fire recovered scrap into space, where tractor beams on the shipyard facility collected them for further refinement. The Sith apprentice known as the Starkiller destroyed the orbital shipyard on orders from Darth Vader, using the ore cannon to fire massive chunks of scrap into its superstructure.
Note that the reference to Sienar Fleet Systems comes from the Star Wars Databank, indicating that the transformation of Republic Sienar Systems took place well before the institution of the New Order. The average day on Raxus Prime lasted about 22 standard hours, and its year encompassed 388 local days.

This was one of the signature slider sandwiches that were found on the menu at Dex's Diner, on the planet Coruscant, during the final years of the Old Republic. Referring to the junkyard world fo Raxus Prime, this sandwich was made from whatever leftovers happened to be in the kitchen. It was marketed as "a surprise every time it's ordered", the Raxus Slider was never the same sandwich twice.

Ray
This was one of the many species of scalefish which inhabited the oceans of Naboo. The rays were long-bodied fish that appeared to be all head. The large head of the ray was dominated by its tooth-filled mouth, which could distend to hold its prey. The tail of the ray was crescent-shaped, making the ray a strong swimmer. Gungans and Naboo alike considered the ray an excellent sportfish, because it put up a strong fight and often made spectacular leaps from the water.

Ray Shield
This small, handheld shield resembled nothing more than a metallic disk. However, it was equipped with a tiny power source which provided a measure of protection against low-powered blaster weapons. Ray shields were often used in gladiator fights, where they could be used in a defensive manner, or to deflect bolts toward unsuspecting foes.
(MC22)
Ray Shield
This was a form of defensive shield that was used to block or absorb light waves. These shields used electromagnetic and ultraviolet fields to capture light and drain its power. Thus, ray shields could be used to protect a ship from lasers, but were on no use against projectile weapons. Ray shields consumed more power than particle shields, but served a much different purpose. A ground-based form of ray shielding was developed to protect reactors and power generators from laser attacks, and a specialized ray shield was used to protect the thermal exhaust ports aboard the first Death Star.

A native of the planet Sorl, this Jedi Master had a deep connection to the Force which caused him to leave the daily life of the Jedi Temple to comtemplate the galaxy in seclusion on his homeworld, some twenty years before the Battle of Naboo. After building a small home on the Cragh Mountains, he suddenly disappeared, shortly before Qui-Gon Jinn was captured by Jenna Zan Arbor. Adi Gallia discovered that Master R'aya had also been imprisoned by Zan Arbor, but her experiments left him drained of blood and unabel to fight back. After the Jedi Knights discovered Zan Arbor's lab on Simpla-12, Noor was placed in the custody of Ona Nobis for transport to Belasco, where Zan Arbor hoped to capture the Jedi.

Raygar
A native of the planet Argazda, this evil Imperial Doctor discovered the power of the Sunstar, some years before the Battle of Endor. Raygar had originally been part of the Wolhanian Expedition, which earned him professional credit with the archaeoogical community. After joining the Empire, Raygar dispatched Admiral Kaaz to transport a fleet to the Forest Moon of Endor to recover the Sunstar. Unfortunately, Raygar's plans were smashed by the efforts of the Ewoks and Admiral Kaaz's droid, PD-28. Without any public or private funding, Raygar was forced to locate and dig up artifacts in order to earn a living. This fact, coupled with his Argazdan ancestry, made it all the more intriguing when Raygar was named the lead archaeologist during the excavation of the Slave Pits of Lorrd, several years after the Battle of Endor. The fact that Raygar moved about in public dressed as an Argazdan slave lord drew the ire of Lorrdians and Argazdans alike. When Tash and Zak Arranda discovered that he was working with Agent Diamond to smash the resistance on Lorrd, the children tried to stall for time by asking about the excavations. Raygar explained that, millennia before, the ancient Argazdans had captured an extra-galactic starship near the Redoubt. This ship contained an alien being who claimed to have been testing a new starship drive system when it failed, stranding the alien and several test ships in the Outer Rim Territories. This alien was discovered to have been the "demon architect" who subverted Torphceris, the Argazdan Regent who created the Slave Pits of Lorrd, and who developed the strange weapon that was hidden in the pits. However, in order to activate whatever was inside the pits, Raygar needed a human sacrifice. When Tash and Zak Arranda discovered his plans, Raygar had planned to kill one of them as the sacrifice. However, Agent Diamond scoffed at his ideas, angering Raygar enough that he drew his blade and stabbed Diamond in the back. Her blood flowed over the ground, opening the door that contained the weapon, which turned out to be a huge creature of unknown origin. Seeing what had burst forth from the pit, Raygar fled to his starship in fear. Before disappearing into space, Raygar dropped a thermal detonator in the pit, obliterating the creature and all evidence of his excavations.

A native of the Core World of Brentaal, Rayne "retired" from Brentaal's Wayward Children, where she had been a route coordinator, and traveled to Tatooine to pursue her dreams of becoming an entrepreneur. She used her network of contacts within the Core Worlds to establish Dune Sea Outfitters in order to ensure she always met her customers' expectations and needs. Her desire to keep the contents of her warehouse a closely-guarded secret - Rodian guards patrolled at all hours, and no one was allowed into the warehouse - meant that Rayne was the subject of many rumors, despite the outward legitmacy of her business. Much of the merchandise hidden within the warehouse was acquired for shipment by Brentaal's Wayward Children.

Rayne's Dune Sea Outfitters
This warehouse was located in the city of Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine, and catered to the needs of the local scouts and explorers. Casual visitors were discouraged from entering by a group of Rodian guards employed by Rayne, but any being who identified Rayne was allowed to enter. No one was allowed into the warehouse itself, as Rayne chose to keep its contents a secret. She maintained a complete inventory on a datapad, and could call up any item in minutes. Spacers could also store their cargoes in the warehouse for a small fee, but Rayne insisted the her Rodian guards load and unload the cargo. The reason for the secrecy and security was that much of Rayne's business was with various criminal and smuggling operations in the Outer Rim, as well as the shipment of goods for Brentaal's Wayward Children. Hidden behind a jumble of shipping crates Rayne kept a hyperwave transmitter, used to make sure she was up-to-date on her customers' needs and shipments.

One of Cloud City's owners after Ecclessis Figg, Raynor was an inept manager and a worse sabacc player. Despite his poor playing skill, he nevertheless lured Lando Calrissian into a high-stakes match after witnessing Lando's defeat of Barpotomous Drebble. Note that Galaxy Guide 2: Yavin and Bespin indicates that Raynor was lured into the game by Calrissian. Raynor was recognized as an incompetent by Lobot, who assisted Calrissian in winning the match and claiming ownership of Cloud City from Raynor. Lobot also revealed that the workers and inhabitants of Cloud City had raised more than five million credits, which they donated to Lando in an effort to help him defeat Raynor and rid Clouc City of his ineptitude.
In the weeks that followed, Raynor hired the bounty hunter known as Thune to eliminate Calrissian. However, it was Calrissian - with help from Lobot and Mungo Baobab - who managed to capture Thune. He then offered her her freedom if she would turn the tables on Raynor and capture him instead.

Ray-Ray-0070555-Trill-Jenth-7
This was one of the access codes used by the designers of the Intellex Four droid brain to lock off certain areas of memory, to secure whatever was stored in the astromech's core. This access code worked only once, before it was confusingly altered and became unusable. In this way, portions of secured memory could be accessed only once, unless the user knew and understood the transformation of the access codes. If an access code was incorrectly entered, the file it accessed was destroyed. Whenever three such files were destroyed, the entire memory core was destroyed to prevent further access. Alema Rar provided this code to Luke Skywalker, about a year after the discovery on holographic recordings of Padme' Amidala and her husband, Anakin Skywalker, that were hidden within the memory core of R2-D2. Alema hoped to prove to Luke that she was not lying about her version of the truth behind the death of Daxar Ies, claiming that the code had been provided to her by Eremay Ies.

Rayt
This dark-haired man and his companions were left homeless when their planet was attacked by the forces of the Grand Army of the Republic. The attack was meant to capture the huge treasure trove of Separatist currency and valuables that was being held by the planetary government, which was laundering it and keeping it safe from outside influence. The battle that was waged between clone troopers and battle droids laid waste to large portions of the arable land on their homeworld, forcing Rayt and his friends to find a way to get away from the fighting. Rayt came to believe that Bryn's idea of posing as clone troopers in order to steal some of the treasure would work, so the men donned scavenged clone trooper armor and tried to pass as soldiers. As they neared the Republic's base, Rayt saw Trillan Katos and his family trying to escape, and set out to help them. The family didn't recognize him and fired at him, forcing Rayt to abandon the attempt. Once they reached the base, they were forced to obey the orders of a squad of real clone troopers, and found themselves caught aboard the Republic transport that was leaving the planet.

Raze
This immense being was a noted gangster who worked from a base on Per Lupelo, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. A pale-skinned being distinguished by his long limbs and tall, wattled neck, Raze was unable to move about by his own locomotion, and had his body implanted into a large mechno-chair that resembled the multi-segmented body of an insect. His head was dominated by a pair of heavy tusks that protected his mouth and neck, and his long arms gave him an incredible reach. The combination of his physical size and his technological conveyance made Raze a formidable presence in any location. Despite his brutal appearance, Raze was known for his mental dexterity. He came from a race that could process information at superhuman rates, and he used this skill to his advantage in building a small criminal empire based on the collection and sale of information.
When Raze learned that one of his information brokers, Wyl Tarson, was secretly working for the Alliance, he set out to make an example of the man. He had Tarson apprehended, the installed a device in the man's skull that was a combination transceiver and explosive. The device included an intra-aural communicator that allowed them to communicate, but only Tarson could hear Raze's voice. The explosive, which could be remotely activated by Raze, was a threat that was meant to ensure Tarson's cooperation during a mission to Ahakista. He forbade Wyl to talk about the implant, using as his own private link to ensure Wyl's compliance.
In order to gain a measure of revenge against Tarson for his duplicity, Raze ordered Laynara to accompany him to Ahakista. Raze allowed Tarson to pick his own team, but kept certain details about the mission a secret, and lied outright about others. Raze told Tarson that Ahakista was a peaceful backwater, when it was actually a heavily-guarded Imperial outpost. Raze then withheld a set of landing coordinates until the last second, hoping to make Tarson and his team sweat a little. Once they were on the planet's surface, Raze monitored their progress as they infiltrated The Hub, but was surprised when Laynara refused to activate the communications interceptor she had developed for the mission. Raze tried to hurt Tarson with the remote implant, but Laynara threatened to destroy the interceptor if he didn't stop.
When Raze relented, he was forced to listen as Laynara was shot and injured by stormtroopers, but then he ordered Wyl to carry out the mission. When Tarson also refused, Raze set off the explosive in his head, killing him for his insubordination. Unknown to Raze, however, was the fact that Darth Vader was on Ahakista, and had deactivated the implant in Wyl's head. In exchange, Wyll provided the Dark Lord with detailed information on Raze's operations. Vader then sent an Imperial task force to Per Lupelo, where the ships bombarded the planet from orbit. Raze was forced to fleet the destruction of his headquarters in order to survive, and only barely escaped with his life. His body, however, had been damaged, and he was forced to accept a cybernetic replacement for his legs. In order to make his appearance more menacing, Raze chose to replace his limbs with an insect-like collection of articulated body sections, making it appear as if he were half a sentient being, and half a mechanized centipede. About a year before the Battle of Hoth, Raze assisted King Arturo of Orocco in recovering his daughter, Princess Mi, who had been kidnapped by unknown agents. He was angered to learn that the kidnappers were actually Grintlok and this gang, who were supposed to have been working for Raze himself.

Razorbrain, Dravin
This man was one of the gladiators who fought in the arena on the Hollow Moon, during the height of the New Order. Razorbrain was distinguished by the immense, cybernetic prostheses he had implanted throughout his body. These implants and replacements including a fully-articulated suit of armor plating that was studded with all sorts of tools, including the sharp cutting wheels that earned him the nickname Razorbrain, as well as a trio of huge, studded balls that could be spun around in a deadly whirl of metal. Razorbrain was one of the few combatants to actually win several matches in a row, and had accumulated seventeen straight victories before he was forced to fight against Chewbacca. The Wookiee had been forced to fight while Han Solo was locating an accounting droid for Sollima, in an attempt to ensure that Solo successfully returned from the mission. Believing that he was all but invincible, Razorbrain boasted that the fight was too easy, but a win was a win, especially since an eighteenth victory would give him the record. However, Chewbacca, who was known as Chokk the Eviscerator in the arena, took advantage of primitive weaponry in their fight. Using a stick, Chewbacca struck a stone that hit Razorbrain in the head. In reacting to this, Razorbrain lost his balance and tumbled to the ground. Unable to move about and bring his weapons to bear, Razorbrain was no match for the ferocious Wookiee, who ripped out his wiring and rendered Razorbrain unable to fight. The Wookiee was victorious, and Razorbrain was disgraced and sent to a labor camp. There, he was forced to carry out whatever hard labor was required on the Hollow Moon, along with other failed gladiators who were now essentially slaves. When Chewbacca learned of Razorbrain's fate, the Wookiee initially refused to help the slaves, even though a loss in any fight would mean Chewbacca would also be forced into slavery. However, when a slaver threatened to kill Razorbrain after the man fell during his work, Chewbacca could no longer stand by and watch. The Wookiee attacked the slaver, prompting the other slaves to stage a revolt. The revolt coincided with the return of Han Solo and Billal Batross, who gave Imperial Captain Taavin's forces the access codes to the Hollow Moon. Sollima was forced to abandon the Hollow Moon, giving Razorbrain and the other slaves their freedom by default.
(HMK)
Razorbug
This large, flat insect was bioengineered by the Yuuzhan Vong as a kind of weapon. The shell of the razorbug was extremely sharp and strong, and could cut through many substances. The Yuuzhan Vong warrior could throw the razorbug at a target, and the bug would fly at top speed until it hit something. If the warrior missed his thrown, the razorbug often was imbedded in the surrounding cover. They were expendable, and were easily killed if crushed underfoot. After the hostilities between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Galactic Alliance were resolved, and the Yuuzhan Vong were allowed to live on the planet Zonama Sekot, they found that razorbugs and many other bio-engineered weapons simply reverted to their animal forms and fled into the forests. This was one way in which Sekot forced the Yuuzhan Vong to give up their lust for war and embrace a more enlightened existence.

Razor's Kiss
This was the name of the Super-class Star Destroyer Warlord Zsinj attempted to steal from Kuat Drive Yards, in an effort to augment his fleet in his struggle with the New Republic. He devised a plan in which several pirate groups would aid in the attempt, including the Hawk-bats of Wraith Squadron. Once his forces got the uge ship moving, several waves of pirates would swoop in and contain the Kuati security forces while Zsinj made off with the ship. However, the Hawk-bats relayed information of the attempt to the New Republic's command, and they sent in Han Solo and the Mon Remonda in order to stop Zsinj. In a series of daring moves, the Wraiths managed to severely disable the Razor's Kiss, leaving it nothing but smouldering scraps after Shalla Nelprin destroyed its shields and the Mon Remonda and Tedevium pummeled it with fire. After the battle over Kuat, Zsinj's forces recovered as much of the Razor's Kiss as they could, building a craft known to Zsinj as the Second Death. It was used at Selaggis Six to simulate damage to the Iron Fist as Zsinj once again escaped the Republic.

Ra-Zyrth
This Massassi served as one of Naga Sadow's top commanders during the Great Hyperspace War, some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Like Sadow's other commanders, Ra-Zyrth was altered by ancient Sith magic to become a monstrous warrior, then placed into a suspended animation capsule for transport to Coruscant. Once there, Sadow planned to release his commanders on the unsuspecting Old Republic and take the planet by force. The Sith forces were defeated in combat, but Ra-Zyrth was unaccounted for among the death. Modern rumors persist that his suspended animation capsule landed on Coruscant by failing to open, leaving Ra-Zyrth preserved for the millennia. Other stories claim his capsule opened properly, and he fought the ancient Jedi Knights to his death. This latter story isn't nearly as popular as the first, which was often used by parents to keep their children from exploring too deeply beneath Coruscan't surface, lest they accidentally open the capsule and release the Massassi warrior from his slumber.

The Reaper served as the flagship of the task force that was dispatched to the planet JanFathal, and was on duty when the Republic warship Leveler emerged from hyperspace in the Fath System. Using a false transponder code that identified the ship as the Discord, the Reaper's commander was able to get close enough to the Leveler and read that ship was unable to fight back. An attempt was made to take the Leveler intact, but her sensor crew was able to discover that the ship was not actually the Discord. The Leveler fled into hyperspace, denying the crew of the Reaper of their prize. When the ship returned to JanFathal, the Reaper and eight other Separatist ships were ready, but they were unprepared for the presence of the Altisian Jedi who were onboard. Callista Masana used the Force to fire the Leveler's concussion missiles, destroying seven Separatist vessels - including the Reaper - and forcing the remaining two to retreat.

Han and Leia Solo had discovered several strange caverns beneath the planet's surface, each of which was filled with stranger machinery that was going to self-destruct. Lando called in favors from friends who were pilots, hoping that they could fly their starfighters into the caverns and destroy the machinery before it self-destructed. Several rearmament teams were stationed throughout the caverns, to help the pilots reload after their own missions were completed.

Previously known as the Stardust, the Reasonable Doubt was of Verpine manufacture, so was more spaceworthy than most of Kut-Rate Kruises' ships. The Reasonable Doubt was converted to a refugee ship during the Clone Wars, transporting beings to and from Coruscant on a regular basis. The ship's crew was fond of reminding passengers that only the most expensive accommodations received regular maintenance, and lesser rooms received repairs only if something was broken "beyond all Reasonable Doubt." Each corridor and level of the ship was denoted by a specific color, to help passengers find their way around. This was the ship used by Jedi Masters Jai Maruk, Maks Leem, and Yoda to begin their journey to Vjun, some thirty months after the Battle of Geonosis, in an attempt to bargain with Count Dooku for peace.

Naat was eager to prove herself as a Jedi, although she secretly wanted to avenge her brother's death. Naat and her Master were given several mission related to the capture of Sev'rance Tann, but their actions brought them dangerously close to the Dark Side of the Force. When they finally tracked Tann to the planet Krant, Naat was captured by the Dark Jedi and held prisoner. Tann then demanded Shen-Jon to fight her in a lightsaber duel, with Naat's life being the prize. This action pulled Master Shen-Jon completely to the Dark Side, and he tapped into its power to defeat Tann in combat. When he set out to mutilate her, though, Natt stepped in stop her Master from going any further. She decided to return to Coruscant, and begged her Master to come with her. Naat returned alone, and explained to the Jedi Council that Shen-Jon had defeated Sev'rance Tann, though at the cost of his own life.

Rebel One
This was the name of the Alliance's primary flagship, during the months following the Battle of Yavin. The Rebel One was at the forefront of nearly every space battle during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War, since it was the most powerful ship in the Alliance's fleet. A modified Providence-class carrier/destroyer of Clone Wars-era vintage, the Rebel One took heavy damage during an Imperial ambush led by Darth Vader himself, but managed to escape into hyperspace before being destroyed. AS fate would have it, the ship emerged near Bannistar Station, an important Imperial refueling depot. Tungo Li and Princess Leia Organa put together a plan that allowed a strike team to infiltrate the station and destroy it, but the plan involved blowing up the Rebel One to take out any nearby Imperial ships and cause a diversion that would allow the strike team to escape. Tungo Li volunteered to remain aboard the ship and set off the self-destruct system, so that Imperial scanners would continue to read life-forms on board. Before doing so, Tungo Li sent an encrypted message to the rest of the Alliance's fleet, warning them to stay away from Bannistar Station unless otherwise contacted by the strike team.

Rebo
This was a common name among the Ortolan race.
(UANT)
Rebo, Max
Born with the name Siiruulian Phantele, this Ortolan was small by the standards of his people. His mother feared that he would waste away to nothing. However, Siiruulian was an excellent musician, and was discovered by Evar Orbus. It was Orbus who decided to change Siiruulian's name to Max Rebo, trying to make it easier for most humans to remember. Max was best known for his keyboard playing. Max became the de facto leader of the band following Orbus' death on Tatooine, at the hands of Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes. When Naroon Cuthas found the remaining trio in Mos Eisley, Max was approached to play for Jabba the Hutt. When Jabba offered the band all the food they could eat as payment for employment, Max immediately said yes, despite the fact that his bandmates were not going to paid in credits. Jabba used the band in his attempt to assassinate Bingo Mehndra, but Droopy McCool discovered the bombs which had been planted in their amplifiers. Using holograms, Max and the Band were able to avoid being killed in the resulting explosion, and returned to Tatooine. Jabba, who stopped being angry when he learned of Mehndra's death, bought new instruments for the band and allowed them to expand. The Max Rebo Twelve was formed, including three musicians hand-picked by Jabba to keep an eye on the rest. When Jabba was killed at the Pit of Carkoon, most of the band members jumped off his sail barge before it exploded, and fled into the desert. Max and Sy Snootles teamed up to play for Lady Valarian as the Max Rebo Duo, and Droopy disappeared into the desert. When Sy decided to go solo, Max joined up with the Alliance, claiming that they had better food than the Empire. He served as a cook in many outposts before retiring and starting a line of popular restaurants called Max's Flangth House on eight planets.

The planet had a harsh, mostly uninhabited environment.
(CPL)
Reborn, The
This was the name given to the Dark Jedi who were trained by Desann, during the early years of the New Republic. Distinguished by their orange cloaks, most of the Reborn were beings who had no connection to the Force, and were tainted at the Valley of the Jedi on Rusaan. This gave them a limited ability to manipulate the Force, allowing the Reborn to serve as the soldiers of the Empire Reborn. Because they were to be soldiers, Desann needed other plans for gaining converts. He allied himself with Admiral Galak Fyyar, hoping to use Fyyar's unusual technology to twist beings to the Dark Side of the Force. While working with the Imperials to unseat the New Republic, Desann's ultimate goal was to use the Reborn to help him destroy Luke Skywalker.
However, with Desann's death at the hands of Kyle Katarn, the Reborn were left without a leader and a direction. The surviving members who chose not to fight back or flee were rounded up and held for questioning about Desann's activities. Those who escaped rejoined Tavion Axmis and later formed the Disciples of Ragnos.

Reciprocating Quad Blaster
Known as a Cip-Quad, this unusual weapon was developed for the Grand Army of the Republic by Merr-Sonn, during the height of the Clone Wars. Designed to be an anti-personnel weapon, the Cip-Quad was worn in a special harness that fitted over the chest of a clone trooper, with the dedicated power pack attached to the back. Each barrel of the weapon was fitted with a pair of emitter nozzles, providing double-barreled fire from each round. The individual weapons could be fired on at a time, in pairs, or in a rotating pattern defined by the clone trooper. In this way, the weapon's output could be regulated, depending on the situation. The Cip-Quad was cooled by a dedicated liquid-cooling system, and targetting of the weapon was accomplished by a special heads-up display coupling the fed directly into the clone trooper's helmet. The power of the Cip-Quad was incredible, with a single weapon being capable of taking out an MTT transport with the right application of firepower.

Developed by Sienar Fleet Systems, this 6.4-meter-long speeder was designed for use by the Empire during the height of the New Order. The primary mission profile for the Reconnaissance Troop Transporter was to move patrols to their assigned locations, although many elite units used them for search-and-destroy missions. A twin light blaster cannon was the only weaponry on the speeder, which required a pilot and gunner to operate, and could transport up to six troopers and their gear. The pilot and gunner worked in a shielded cockpit, while the troopers were carried in "racks" on the side of the speeder. These "racks" were spring-loaded, and could open with the push of a button for ease of deployment.

Reconstruction
This was the name used by historians to refer to the years immediately following the Galactic Alliance's victory over the Yuuzhan Vong, in which entire planets and civilizations had to be relocated or rebuilt. The Yuuzhan Vong destroyed or terraformed a large number of planets, and several races were forced to flee their homeworlds in the face of this destruction. The Galactic Alliance established the Reconstruction Authority to monitor the rebuilding of the galaxy.
(DN1)
Reconstruction Authority
This branch of the Galactic Alliance was formed in the wake of the Galactic Alliance's defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, to monitor and drive the rebuilding of the galaxy. The Reconstruction Authority dealt with many of the interstellar aspects of the rebuilding, including the restoration of habitable planets and the relocation of dishomed refugees and races. This put the Authority in the position of monitoring the claims of a new breed of planet hunters: corporate entities that spent more time jumping the claims of independent explorers than they did actually exploring. Many of these independent explorers were dismayed when the Reconstruction Authority mandated that, whenever two parties made claims to the same world, the party with more resources was given preference. Thus, operations like RePlanetHab only had to submit a claim to a planet at the same time as an independent operation, in order to acquire the rights to the planet. Laws and regulations such as this made many believe that the Reconstruction Authority was being bribed by the exploration corporations.
The Reconstruction Authority also was placed in charge of prosecuting pirates and criminals who attempted to turn a profit from any activities that caused problems or delays in the rebuilding effort, which often put them at odds with Luke Skywalker's new Jedi order. The Jedi felt that they were being used as a police force by the Reconstruction Authority, since they were often called upon to bring in a noted pirate or crimelord. As the rebuilding effort continued, the Reconstruction Authority sought to return the seat of the galaxy's government to Coruscant, despite the damage and ecological transformation it had experienced during the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. To help speed up the process, the Authority presented Skywalker with a new Jedi Temple, hoping that he would move the new Jedi order's base of operations from Ossus to Coruscant. The final project completed during the RA's commission was the restoration of Monument Plaza to its former glory, which was unveiled around the time of the Second Battle of Fondor.
(DN1, LF9)
Reconstruction Authority Space Patrol
This branch of the Reconstruction Authority was charged with ensuring the safety and security of the starships that traveled to and from planets that were being rebuilt, in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong War. When the Reconstruction Authority completed its work, the members of the RASP were disbanded.
(LF9)
Reconstruction Police
This was the name of the galactic security force that was under the control of the Galactic Alliance's Reconstruction Authority, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The Reconstruction Police were charged with maintaining order across the entire scope of the Authority's rebuilding efforts, from ensuring the security of supply convoys to investigating smuggling rings. However, the ranks of this force were woefully inadequate to handle all the demands of a galaxy-wide effort, and the Reconstruction Authority often turned to the new Jedi order to assist with the policing efforts.

Recopi
This star was the central body of the Recopi System.
(CCW)
Recopia
This planet, located in the Core Worlds, was known for its unusual environment. Small island plateaus rose from poisonous oceans, and the atmosphere was laden with gaseous sulfur. It was the fourth planet in the Recopi System, and was orbited by a trio of moons. The average day on Recopia lasted 20 standard hours, and its year lasted 286 local days. Recopia was settled many thousands of years before the Battle of Yavin, when explorers eked out an existence on any remotely habitable world. The settlements on Recopia remained viable as layover points along other hyperspace routes, until advances in hyperdrive technology made it easier to travel long distances. The planet faltered until the Empire took control and subjugated the planet. During the Imperial occupation, the many city-states which existed on the planet joined together to form a loose, planetary government. After the Battle of Endor, this government quickly abandoned the Empire and joined the New Republic.

Record Time
This New Republic armed transport ship was originally an independent spacer's craft owned by Captain Birt. Measuring 170 meters in length, the Record Time had two main cargo pods connected by a narrow tube. She had been pressed into troop transport duty when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, and had been "loaned" to General Wedge Antilles during the evacuation of Coruscant. The New Republic troops she carried were later dropped off at Borleias, after the planet was retaken from the Yuuzhan Vong. During the struggle to retake Borleias, the Record Time took moderate damage from plasma weapons, but arrived at Borleias and was repaired to minimal working status. The ship was then used as the insertion mechanism for the strike force - led by Luke Skywalker - that later infiltrated Coruscant. However, the ship was sacrificed as part of the mission, so that the infiltrators could arrive under cover of this ship's destruction.

Recusant-class Light Destroyer
This needle-shaped warship was developed by the Commerce Guild for the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Like other Separatist vessels, the Recusant-class light destroyer was designed to be operated by droid crews. These ships were designed and built by Hoersch-Kessel Drive and the Free Dac Volunteers Engineering Corps, although the original designs were based on Mon Calamari plans that were stolen by Quarren Separatists. Measuring 1,187 meters in length, the Recusant-class light destroyer required a crew of 300 droids to operate, although it had storage space for up to 40,000 deactivated battled droids and up to 10,000 metric tons of cargo. The primary armament of the Recusant-class destroyer was a bow-mounted heavy turbolaser cannon, supplemented by four heavy turbolaser cannons and six heavy turbolaser turrets. Defensive weaponry included five turbolaser cannons, thirty dual laser cannons, twelve light laser cannons, and sixty point-defense laser cannons.
Although a single Recusant-class destroyer could subjugate a planet on its own, they were more effective in numbers. Six of these vessels could outgun a Venator-class Star Destroyer, when properly arrayed against the target. Three huge ion thrust engines, mounted in a triangle at the rear of the vessel, provided sublight propulsions, while a Class 2 hyperdrive moved the Recusant-class destroyer across interstellar distances. Interestingly enough, the Recusant-class destroyer lacked any sort of hangar or docking bays, although droid starfighters could be held in a cargo area if needed.
Because these ships were used primarily by the Commerce Guild during the final years of the Galactic Republic, the Recusant-class light destroyer was often referred to as the Commerce Guild Destroyer. In the wake of the Clone Wars, many of these ships were either scuttled or sold off to the Corporate Sector Authority, which refitted them for use by organic crews. A handful of these ships made their way into the naval fleets of the Rebel Alliance.

Red
This was one of the common designations used by the targetting computers installed on Imperial warships to identify a group of Alliance starfighters. Although the Alliance used starfighters that were often produced in small production runs, or were cobbled together in such a way as to make each one unique, the Imperial naval leaders chose to identify them with transponders codes that were often little more than a group of letters and numbers. In order to distinguish these enemy ships from friendly vessels during a battle, Imperial targetting computers assigned all fighters in a given unit to a specific group, each with a specific designation. The second Alliance group discovered by the targetting computer was usually assigned to the Red group, and the ships within that group were also given a numerical identifier, such as Red 1. In situations where starfighters from two or more base ships were participating in a battle, the designation Red was preceded by a character that was unique to the base ship.

Just as he launched his attack, Reddjak found himself weaponless and being boarded by Zell's security forces. In short order, Reddjak was back in police custody.

Redeemer
This Venator-class warship was part of the fleet of vessels that supported the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. The Redeemer and her sister ship, the Defender, were dispatched to the planet Ryloth with the Resolute, as part of a mission to break the Separatist blockade of the planet. However, the Separatist forces were ready for the Republic's response, and Captain Mar Tuuk held back a portion of his fleet in case of an attack. Thus, when the Redeemer and the other ships launched their attack, they were unprepared for the sudden appearance of many more Separatist ships. The Redeemer was cut off from the main Republic group and overwhlemed, and the ship eventually broke apart and exploded under heavy Separatist fire.

Redemption
An Alliance Nebulon-B frigate used as a medical ship, the Redemption was one of the medical ships which was part of the fleet which massed just outside the rim of the galaxy, in the wake of the Battle of Hoth. It was aboard this ship that Luke Skywalker received his prosthetic hand, after surviving his first battle with Darth Vader on Cloud City. Like many ships in the Alliance's fleet, the Redemption had been refitted for its particular duty, with many hangar bays and weapons stations being converted into sick bays and medical facilities. The Redemption joined the full Alliance fleet near Sullust, just prior to the Battle of Endor. It was assigned to assist the wounded from Briggia during Operation Strike Fear. The mission later became one of the New Republic's training scenarios, nicknamed the Requiem scenario because very few pilots survive the simulation.

Redeye
This Turazza served as Luskin Exovar's chief of security at Exovar's Emporium, on Neftali, although no one was sure why Redeye took the job. However, Redeye took the job seriously, and very few visitors to the Emporium ever crossed his path. Redeye was simply a nickname used by the Turazza to ensure that no one learned his true identity, which was only known to himself and Exovar. Redeye was also an excellent marksman and sharpshooter, and his skills earned him the grudging respect of Kaori Batta.
(WSV)
Redeye
This clone trooper was part of the unit that was assigned to protect Duchess Satine Kryze of Kalevala, when she traveled to Coruscant to plead for peace, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis. The clones were under the command of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Commander Cody, and were assigned to patrol duty aboard the transport vessel Coronet during the Duchess's trip to Coruscant. However, during a regular sweep of the ship's cargo holds, Redeye and Mixer were attacked and killed by an assassin droid. The droid then used Redeye's lifeless body like a puppet in an attempt to disguise itself when Anakin Skywalker arrived in the cargo hold in search of the two clone troopers.

Redge, Loam
This man was one of Emperor Palpatine's Inquisitors, working from the Emperor's personal retreat on Naboo during the height of the Galactic Civil War. His age was indeterminate, a facet of his persona that Redge cultivated for his own use. With the exception of a few tiny wrinkles at the corners his eyes, Redge's face was smooth, and he could have passed for a man of thirty. However, he was much older than that, and was known for his passion for his work.
Redge, himself sensitive to the Force, found a certain enjoyment in locating Force-sensitive individuals, which only increased as he tortured them and watched them die. This eventually led him to a promotion to the position of Chief Inquisitor for the Empire, and drove him to seek out more Force-sensitive beings for interrogation and investigation.

Redheart
This was one of several Duros-commanded warships which made up the Galactic Alliance's meager naval fleet, during the last stages of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong. The Redheart was one of many ships assigned to General Wedge Antilles and the task force dispatched to the Duro System. Unknown to Commander Col was that the task force was not sent to recapture Duro, but to eliminate as much of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet stationed there as possible. Col believed that Antilles was going to simply let Duro remain under Yuuzhan Vong control, and broke formation. Led by the Dpso, all the Duros warships tried to attack the Yuuzhan Vong on their own. However, they were no match for the amassed firepower of the alien invaders. The Redheart and the other Duros ships were destroyed in just under three hours.

Redoubt, The
This globular cluster of densely-packed stars was located deep in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy. Because of the density of stars in The Redoubt, navigation was virtually impossible without an extension knowledge of both the area and astronomical physics. Sensors were useless in the area, due to the intensity amounts of radiation and background noise generated by the stars. Comets and planetoids moved through The Redoubt on orbits that were continually altered by the changing gravitics of the area. Shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy, the Chiss had spent more than 200 years studying The Redoubt, trying to understand its mechanics, as a way to ensure their species' survival. Should the time ever come when the Chiss were overwhelmed, they planned to flee into The Redoubt and hide until such time as they could return to their worlds. The pace of their research was quickened during the last fifty years, after the destruction of the Outbound Flight Project.

This Z-10 Seeker was purchased used by Elga Arbo, who spent every credit she had - and a few she didn't - on making it the fastest ship in the Corellian Sector. The Bureau of Ships Services once recognized it as the fastest commercial ship on record, a fact the Arbo used to promote her courier business. Unfortunately for Arbo, her indebtedness caught up to her. Her financeer, Gydio Lucone, threatened to seize the ship if she failed to pay off her loans. Arbo disagreed, and a firefight broke out. In the end, Arbo was seriously wounded, and her co-pilot, Maceb Joodsen, stole the Redshift Runner and fled the sector.

Ree
This young Twi'lek male was a podracer of some small renown, who grew tired of the way in which the Desilijic Hutts skimmed the profits from the races. He was part of a growing faction of racers who also opposed the sentiment that the racers were "disposable," so long as the races themselves continued to be profitable. During the early years of the New Order, Ree went to work for Kaeline Ungasan as a race scout, searching out new locales in which to stage podraces to rival those of the Desilijics. It was Ree's explorations that discovered a vein of vonium on Ando Prime, leading Ungasan to set up a race there to cover up the mining activities. The plans of the Ungasan organization were thwarted when the Desilijic clans learned of the operation and convinced Jer and Gelune Blankuna to pose as his "parents," in an effort to launch and independent "rescue" operation. The agents eventually exposed Ungasan's ties to the Corporate Sector Authority, and Ungasan was imprisoned. Ree was also captured, and faced justice at the hands of the CSA.

Ree, Joni
This woman worked as one of the lead scientists at the Czerka 431 facility, during the era of the Jedi Civil War. When the Sith took control of the facility, Joni Ree and her lab were sealed off, thereby preventing an escape and forcing her to work for the Sith. Rather than meekly accept her fate, Joni Ree devised a daring plan to escape from the facility and take her work with her. She had been leading the redesign of juggernaut war droids, and hoped to use them to blast her way free of the lab. The Sith tried to keep her locked away in the lab, and were forced to set their weapons to stun in order to keep her alive. However, Republic forces managed to rescue her, and took her juggernaut prototypes as well. Joni Ree later helped the Republic decipher the data that was recovered from Czerka Lab AB-343, but this earned her the enmity of the Sith and other Czerka leaders, who pooled their resources and dispatched a Sith assassin to eliminate her. She was saved from death by a group of Republic operatives who reached the Czerka Lab AB-343 location and confronted the assassin.

Ree, Shantee
This famous holovideo star was perhaps best-known for her "Save the Stohl" campaign. Shantee owned a specially-trained attack stohl named Needla, which bit an overzealous fan during an autograph session. The media portrayed the attack as an assault, but Shantee wuickly responded by explaining that the attack stohl had been trained to protect her. The result of the media coverage was that the attack stohls were hunted for the thrill of it, until Shantee launched her campaign to save the species.

Reecee
This Inner Rim world was a stop-over point for Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon, during a trip to meet with Lando Calrissian and check out Lando's Folly, just before the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy. While he was there, Han also took some time to find out more about the actions of Kyp Durron and his vigilante Jedi Knights. The planet was home to a small group of smugglers, until the New Republic Navy took command of the planet and used it as a rear base by Admiral Traest Kre'fey. As the Yuuzhan Vong began to move on Coruscant, the New Republic believed that the alien invaders would attack the capital world from Bilbringi, and so Reecee was left relatively undefended. However, the Yuuzhan Vong had been massing in the nebula surrouding the Black Bantha, and planned to conquer Reecee for use as a primary base from which to launch their assault on Corucant. This plan was smashed when New Republic forces fleeing from Borleias arrived at Reecee and pummeled the Yuuzhan Vong ships. After a pitched battle, the Yuuzhan Vong force had been eliminated, and Reecee remained part of the New Republic.

Reeft was constantly hungry, and would clean all of his friends' plates and still be hungry afterward. He was later chosen to further his training as the padawan of Binn Ibes, and traveled the galaxy for many years. Shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, Reeft was dispatched to Brentaal IV to capture Rotar Lopani. He returned to Coruscant with Lopani's body, as well as that of a bounty hunter named Tosinqas. Tosinqas had actually found Lopani first and attacked him, just before Reeft found Lopani. Both parties were startled by the presence of the other, and Reeft drew his lightsaber in reaction. Tosinqas charged Reeft, but cut himself in half when he misjudged the blade of the lightsaber. The two deaths raised the ire of both the Galactic Senate and the Bounty Hunter's Guild.

Reeho
This species of heavy-billed avian was native to Gelgelar. Reehos were distinguished by their bright orange feathers.
(SWJ14)
Reek
Originally native to the the wilds of Ylesia and maintained in great ranches on the Codian Moon, this immense, mammalian herbivore was distinguished by the three heavy horns that surrounded its mouth. The horn atop its nose was used for attack, while the two horns at each side of the mouth were for defense. These horns continued to grow throughout the reek's lifetime, so the creatures often rubbed or scraped them against trees and rocks to sharpen them and keep them short. The long, front legs of the reek allowed it to raise its head quite high, while its short hind legs provided a stable base for its stout body. The coloration of the reek was mainly gray or brown, although the specimens found on Geonosis had red coloring along its back, neck, and head. This coloration was due to the high percentage of meat in the diet of these reeks, which were fed only enough plant matter to keep them healthy and hungry. In the wilds of Ylesia, reeks fed on wood-moss, which they removed from trees by scraping with their horns. Individual subspecies of reek were distinguished by the mottled color patterns of the scales on their rear legs.
Reeks were prized by those beings who staged gladiator fights during the last years of the Old Republic, because their hide was incredibly thick and hard to damage. Many fighters discovered that a reek could be best attacked while riding on its back, where the creature's skin was so thick that it couldn't sense the rider's presence. The reeks of Ylesia and the Codian Moon were considered the baseline stock of the species, although several subspecies existed on other worlds. The Ithorian reek was yellow in color, and was larger and stronger than its cousins, having been bred for generations as plow animals by the native Ithorians. Unfortunately, these reeks were exterminated when the Yuuzhan Vong destroyed Ithor. Other subspecies were discovered on Iridonia and the habitable moon of Muunilinst.
The reeks that were bred on Iridonia were smaller than the Ylesian species, and were prized by the Zabraks for their thick hides. The Iridonian reeks were used as war mounts by the Zabraks, who bred them for their stamina and ferocity. These reeks tended to be more gray in coloration, as a result of their feeding on the native vegetation. The Zabraks allowed their reeks to fight for dominance in the wild, which was believed to desensitize them to combat, allowing a Zabrak warrior to ride the beast into the chaos of the battlefield.

Reeksa
This species of vine-like plant was native to the planet Iego, where it grew in rocky canyons. The roots of the reeksa vine were believed to have been a cure for the Blue Shadow Virus, but the plant was carnivorous, and would literally attack anything that came into contact with it. When touched, the reeksa vine reacted along its entire length, exposing large thorns and a toothy, mouth-like appendage that snapped at whatever had touched it. Any creature near the vine could be impaled or bitten, allowing the reeksa vine to ingest what it caught and slowly consume it. This made harvesting the roots of the reeksa vine quite dangerous.

As a male, Reen was virtually ignored by his owners, which allowed him to slowly establish a far-reaching information network among the slaves of various clans. In his duties to Clan Mother Mintinee, Reen was often dispatched with messages to other Clan Mothers, which allowed him to make regular contact with the other members of his network.

Han Solo ahd already shot a tranquilizer dart into Bazel's body, but the Ramoan contnued to struggle, prompting Ruxon to shot him with another dart. Bazel went into convulsions, but Leia Solo explained that the small pain he might be feeling was an acceptable trade against the possibility of being encased in carbonite. These events took a heavy toll on Melari's mind, and she and Reeqo decided that they did not want to become Jedi Knights any longer. They both folded their robes into neat piles, placed their lightsabers atop their robes, and simply walked out of the Jedi Temple. Although their absence prompted Kenth Hamner to fear that they were experiencing the same Force psychosis that had overcome Bazel, Cilghal pointed out that neither Melari nor Reeqo had stayed at Shelter base during the Yuuzhan Vong War, and so they had not been exposed to the same environment as Bazel and the other Jedi who were having trouble. As they left the Jedi Temple behind, both Reeqo and Melari were approached by Galactic Alliance Security forces as they were leaving. They were set free when they explained that they no longer wanted to be part of an organization that was breaking the laws of the government, although they later told Javis Tyrr the real reason they left the Order was because they wer unhappy with the way Chief of State Natasi Daala was taking control of the Jedi.

Reerookachuck
This Wookiee was born on Kashyyyk, but was taken away at an early age and forced to work in the spice mines of Kessel. While on Kessel, Reerookachuck was raised by human slaves, and thus never learned the Wookiee traits of loyalty and honor. Reerookachuck became a dirty, underhanded fighter and schemer, doing whatever it took to maintain his life and his freedom. When he was captured by the slavers of the Sord Montok and taken away for relocation, Reerookachuck saw his chance to escape. He instigated a riot aboard the ship, which resulted in the deaths of twenty slavers and the scuttling of the Sord Montok near the Minos Cluster. Reerookachuck fled into space. Sord Montok placed a bounty on Reerookachuck's head, hoping to bring the Wookiee in to be held accountable for his actions.

Rees, Bojam
This tattoist made a meager living on Star Station 12, catering to the desires of spacers to acquire new tattooes. His shop was located on the station's level 17. Abal Karda paid this green-skinned alien to tattoo the tribal designs of the Duhma on his face, and paid him with a lock of Selestrine's bejeweled hair. Karda used the alias Mixxim, but this ruse was not enough to keep Boba Fett from locating Bojam Rees and obtaining information on Karda's location.

Reesbon
One of the seven ruling clans of Ammuud, and the chief contender to the Glayyd clan for the control of the planetary government. During the early years of the New Order, the Mor of he Reesbon clan was approached by Zlarb and his slavers, and offered the chance to supply ships and transfer services in exchange for a large profit. The Mor Glayyd heard of the proposal and became angry at being cut out of the deal, and decided to expose the slavery ring to Odumin. When the Reesbon clan discovered his treachery, they conspired to poison the Mor Glayyd, forcing the more-pliant Ewwen to assume the rank of Glayyd.

Reeten, Jona
This famous actress hailed from the Adarlon system. The name Jone Reeten was actually pseudonym used by Rollo Morsai. She appeared in a large number of holo-vids and was quite popular outside the Minos Cluster. Jona Reeten traveled the Cluster in a beautiful and expensive Baudo-class yacht called the Gilded Lily, and her success was due primarily to her talent, although a little bit of luck always seemed to help. That is, until the Empire took control of the Cluster and Babel Torsh began cracking down on the holo-vid industry. Torsh discovered that Reeten had once portrayed a Jedi Knight who fought in the Clone Wars, and he immediately had her blacklisted. The career of Jona Reeten came to a sudden and abrupt end, as no one would hire her. She returned to using her real name, and converted the Gilded Lily into a transport ship.

Ree-Yees
A three-eyed, goat-faced alien from the Gran race, he was exiled from his homeworld of Kinyen for committing murder. His expulsion from Kinyen eventually drove him mad. After roaming the galaxy, Ree-Yees fell into Jabba the Hutt's entourage. This life didn't please him, and he soon became invovled in an Imperial plot to kill the Hutt. Imperial agents placed a small message module in the skin of Jabba's bubo, which they used to communicate with Ree-Yees. They then supplied Ree-Yees with shipments of goatgrass, in which were hidden the various pieces of a massive detonation device. However, someone managed to steal the detonator out of the last shipment, leaving Ree-Yees in a lurch. He blamed the death of Phlegmin, who seemed to be in the room when the detonator was stolen, on Ephant Mon, a creature he didn't trust. When Jabba tried to have Han Solo and Luke Skywalker fed to the Sarlacc, Ree-Yees discovered that Jabba had planted a thought-trigger in Ree-Yees' mind, a trigger that, when activated by a code phrase from Jabba, would compel him to set off a bomb that had been surgically planted in Ree-Yees' belly. When Leia Organa killed Jabba, the threat of an explosion was temporarily averted. However, when Jabba's sail barge exploded, it set off the bomb, killing Ree-Yees instantly. In the novelization of Return of the Jedi, Ree-Yees, ever belligerent, became involved in a fight with Ephant Mon aboard Jabba's sail barge as Jabba was preparing to put Luke Skywalker and Han Solo into the Sarlacc pit. It was believed that Ree-Yees died when the barge exploded.

Reflec
This substance was used by many commando groups to plate their armor suits. Reflec had the natural ability to absorb the energy waves emitted by most sensors, effectively removing the substance from a sensor sweep. When coated with a fine mesh of reflec, personal body armor was virtually undetectable, as were the life signs of the wearer. Imperial Storm Commandos were among the prime users of reflec plating.

Reflection Blast
This phenomenon, experienced mainly on desert worlds such as Tatooine, occurred whenever a vast area was under continual bombardment by the energy of the sun. These areas, such as the Great Chott on Tatooine, absorbed and reflected great amounts of heat and light. This reflected energy created the reflection blast, which overpowered many types of sensors.

Refuge City
Located on the northern hemisphere of the planet Caamas, Refuge City was one of the few habitable locations that remained after the planet's destruction. Groups of ecologists and environmentalists used Refuge City as a base of operations, during their attempts to restore Caamas' natural state. Established by Elek D'Cel, Refuge City was a domed city created from the debris of surrounding locations. A central power generator provided the necessary electricity, and much of the city's lighting was in the form of biolum fixtures. A garden graced the main entry to the city, as a reminder of Caamas' former - and future - beauty. The city was home to the 200 or so Caamasi who survived the destruction of the planet's ecosystem, along with a group of Ithorians who were helping to restore it.

Refugee Facility 17
This was one of the many refugee camps on the planet Ruan, established by the Salliche Ag Corporation, to help those beings dishomed by the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Melisma and Gaph were stranded here, during the search for Droma. Unknown to the refugees, as well as the New Republic, Salliche Ag was using the refugees as unwitting slave labor. They claimed that it was simply a way for them to claim their produce was "handpicked," but in reality the corporation was removing droids in anticipation of the Yuuzhan Vong taking control of the galaxy. It was built on the site of an abandoned junkyard, and the debris provided inventive refugees with a number of useful items. This camp was also located in sight of Noob Hill. Like most other of these refugee camps, Facility 17 turned into a mudpit whenit rained, and disease and famine were a constant danger.

Refugee Relief Movement
This was a Naboo-based, political movement which occurred shortly before Padme' Naberrie was elected to serve as the Queen of the Naboo. The Refugee Relief Movement acted to assist any people who were in need of food, clothing, and supplies, whenever the Old Republic failed to provide assistance of its own. Shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, the RRM was chaired by Celly Organa of Alderaan. A fundraiser held on the planet Alsakan raised some 75 million credits for the RRM, although critics like Brookish Boon questioned whether the funds would actually reach the refugees.

Refugee Resettlement Coalition
This collection of planets agreed to open up their spaceports and certain rural areas to refugees who were caught off-planet when their homeworlds seceded from the Old Republic, during the Separatist crisis which occurred just before the Clone Wars. Under the direction of the Refugee Relief Movement, planets such as Naboo, Cerea, and Monastery opened their ports to any being seeking political refuge. When it was first discussed, as many as twenty-five planets agreed to assist with the resettlement efforts, but the number was reduced to ten planets in order to facilitate the distribution of supplies and food.

The Regal Destiny was discovered by the crew of the Bright Seeker shortly after the Battle of Hoth, which was fleeing an ambush sprung by the Knife's Edge under a Letter of Marque from the Alliance. The ship's hull had been breached by several crimson slugs. The crew of the Bright Seeker discovered that the Regal Destiny had been betrayed by a House Mecetti spy who had posed as a crewman and poisoned the ship's air supply. They also discovered that the treasures being carried by the Regal Destiny were Trad and Verinia Paddox, the true heirs of Theus Paddox and House Pelagia.

Regent
This was the title used by the monarch of the planet JanFathal. The Regent was chosen from the ruling family, and was given absolute control over the planet's government for their entire life. By the time that the Clone Wars broke out across the galaxy, the current Regent had ruled for thirty years. The working classes had become more and more disgruntled during these three decades, as the Regent spent huge sums of credits to build palaces and maintain a secret police force that kept the workers from acting out against the Regent. This situation changed when Separatist agents made contact with the workers and agreed to support their plans to overthrow the Regent. The Regent had been openly supportive of the Galactic Republic, and the people of JanFathal had begun to feel that the Republic might be partly to blame for their lot in life. In what became known as the Workers' Uprising, Separatist-backed rebels managed to destroy Government House and overthrow the Regent. Because the Regent had spent the planet's credits on palaces and police forces, JanFathal had no standing army, and the government was unable to defend itself against the combined forces of the rebels and a Separatist droid army.

He proved his flying skills in the new breed of X-Wing, the T-65XJ, and was consistently in the top ten runners of Lando's Folly. Miko was known as a quiet, unassuming individual, who preferred to meditate alone and practice his lightsaber in solo sessions. Miko was nearly killed when the Dozen-and-Two Avengers discovered the Yuuzhan Vong presence near Helska. The invaders launched a swarm of coralskippers against them, quickly dispatching all fighters but Kyp Durron. Miko's own X-Wing was left powerless, then destroyed by coralskipper fire. However, the Yuuzhan Vong had already captured Miko and brought him to Helska's surface, where he was imprisoned with Danni Quee. His Yuuzhan Vong captors bombarded him with images of his own failure, a technique they called The Breaking. Miko fell into deep despair, bouyed only by the presence of Danni Quee. She eventually got him to assist her in an escape plan. When Jacen Solo arrived with a stylus ship in an attempt to destroy the yammosk, Miko and Danni nearly escaped. However, Miko decided to remain behind in order to ensure that Danni and Jacen made it out alive. He sacrificed himself to prevent two Yuuzhan Vong warriors from capturing them.

In the wake of the galaxy's war with the Yuuzhan Vong, Reh'mwa continued to push for anti-Yuuzhan Vong legislation, and demanded that Coruscant be stripped of all alien technology. This, according to Reh'mwa, would be a signal to the rest of the galaxy to destroy what the alien invaders had left behind.
Rew'mwa later formed the True Victory Party in an effort to gain popular support on Bothawui for secession from the Galactic Alliance. He was accused by Jacen Solo of sending a mission to attack the World Brain on Coruscant, despite the fact that Solo had actually be attacked by Alema Rar.

Reige, Vitor
This man served as a shuttle pilot aboard the Chimaera, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. When Grand Admiral Gilad Pellaeon was severely injured at the Battle of Bastion, it was Reige who managed to rescue him and pilot a shuttle back to Yaga Minor so that Pellaeon could be treated. Reige rarely left Pellaeon's side, ensuring that the Jedi healer Tekli gave Pellaeon the best treatment possible. In the years that followed, Reige remained with Pellaeon, and eventually became his most trusted friend. Throughout their relationship, Pellaeon wondered to himself how much Reige looked like his own son, Mynar Devis, enough to believe that Reige might be somehow related to him. Because he still felt badly about keeping Mynar's heritage a secret, and because he hoped that there would be no more pain because of him, Pellaeon set aside a sizable trust fund for Reige, to help secure the young man's future.
Reige accompanied Pellaeon aboard the Bloodfin when he took an Imperial task force to assist Jacen Solo's attempt to capture the planet Fondor, at the height of the Galactic Alliance's war against The Confederation. Unfortunately, he was unable to prevent Tahiri Veila from killing Pellaeon in cold blood, but he was able to rally the crew to mutiny against the assembled Moffs who had been plotting against Pellaeon. The mutineers managed to rig the main drive systems and weapons emplacements to explode if anyone tried to board the Bloodfin, so that she could not be captured by any of the combatants in the area. They also trapped the Moffs and Tahiri Veila in the destroyer's command center, until Boba Fett and his Mandalorians arrived to help take control of the ship.
Fett had been hired by Admiral Daala for just such a contingency, and they infiltrated the command center and killed anyone who put up any resistance. Quille was among the dead, as were the other Moffs who supported him. Tahiri Veila escaped with the help of Jacen Solo, but Reige and the other Imperials managed to survive. Fett turned control of the Bloodfin over to Reige, who vowed to exact revenge for Pellaeon's death. In the wake of the Second Battle of Fondor, Reige retreated to Bastion, and began making arrangements for Pellaeon's funeral on Corellia with the help of Admiral Daala.

This black-skinned man was born in the Roundtree System, the only child of a middle-class family. He showed great aptitude for computer programming, and eventually discovered that he could slice into computer systems with ease. Unlike many slicers, though, Rekkon had a conscience and morals. This was due to the teachings of his parents, which he never lost sight of as he became more skilled. Rekkon excelled in school, and was offered a programming position with the Corporate Sector Authority. He accepted, and made the move to Corporate Sector space. He later accepted a teaching position at a CSA-sponsored university on Kalla. His brother's family moved with him, and this was how Rekkon became a role model for his nephew, Tchaka. Rekkon was a scholar of many different schools and schools of thought, and over time he lost count of the number of degrees and credentials he had acquired. In his spare time, he began looking into the rumblings and hall-talk of misdealings by the Authority. He believed that the Authority was illegally kidnapping people from all races and using them as slaves or other forced laborers. He was trying to piece together all the clues he had in order to locate the captives and free them. Then Tchaka was discovered missing after speaking out against the Authority. Rekkon then begn recruiting other people who knew of missing individuals, and they were ready to infiltrate the Authority's Data Center on Orron III when Han Solo agreed to help them. After retrieving the necessary data with Blue Max's help, Rekkon discovered that the prisoners were being held in a facility on Mytus VII, but could not complete the mission. He was murdered by Torm aboard the Millennium Falcon after blasting away from Orron III, but not before he managed to scribble the name "Stars' End, Mytus VII" on the holochess table. This allowed Han Solo to identify Torm as the killer, and allowed the rest of the team to find Stars' End and liberate the prisoners there, including Tchaka.

Relics, The
This was the Basic translation of the term used by the Aing-Tii to describe the various objects that they had collected during their quest to locate Those Who Dwell Beyond the Veil. Because these objects were supposedly touched by the mysterious beings, the Aing-Tii were forbidden to actually touch the Relics, and had to employ other beings to locate them and bring them to the Aing-Tii. The collection of artifacts was maintained in a creche that was known as the Embrace, which could only be entered by those beings who were deemed worthy by the Aing-Tii. Some two years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben, were allowed to enter the Embrace and research the Relics. The Aing-Tii hoped that Luke would be able to discern something about Those Who Dwell Beyond the Veil, following the civil unrest that had been started by the Prophet. Unfortunately, after several days of touching and reading and investigating, Luke and Ben were forced to admit that they received no guidance or direction from the Relics. They found no proof of the existence of Thosw Who Dwell Beyond the Veil, and Luke had to explain that he believed the Aing-Tii would have to decide their own destiny. Although the Aing-Tii continued to debate the existence of Those Who Dwell Beyond the Veil, they were united in the common goal of choosing what was right and what was wrong for their people.

She also foresaw that Luke would start a Jedi academy, and have a wife and children. She claimed that these beliefs came to her in a dream, although it was Yoda who originally spoke them. She also believed that Isolder was killed by Gethzerion, proving that the old woman's dreams were not always correct. Rell passed away shortly after Isolder married Teneniel Djo.

She found that the thrill of narrowly escaping a grave situation no longer appealed to her. In fact, she feared that she would never be able to really retire. After the various hideouts Cohl had used were targeted for surveillance by the Judicial Department, Rella voiced her desire to get out of the mercenary business to Cohl. When Cohl decided to head back to Asmeru to rejoin the Nebula Front, Rella severed their relationship and set out on her own. However, when she heard that Cohl had been recruiting mercenaries to kill Chancellor Valorum, she tracked Cohl down to join his band again. She warned him that the mission was not what he thought it was, but he refused to believe her. Rella went along to keep an eye on Cohl. However, when the Jedi caught wind of Cohl's activities, Havac was forced to take action to avoid discovery of his own plans. Havac's forces intercepted Cohl's people on Eriadu, and a firefight broke out. Rella was shot and killed by Havac in the melee.

Remata
This man worked for Lestra Oxic, during the years following the Alliance-Confederation War. Remata and Cynner were ordered by Oxic to recover Tobb Jadak, after the man emerged from his coma some forty-three years after the Battle of Yavin. Their attempt to intercept him on Nar Shaddaa only spooked Jadak, and the two decided to draw their weapons in an effort bring him in. This attempt failed, and they were forced to report to Oxic without Jadak in their grasp. Oxic was able to track Jadak to Vaced, and dispatched Cynner and Remata to bring him in. Cynner discovered Flitcher Poste trying to steal the Millennium Falcon, but the young thief managed to elude their pursuit. Nevertheless, Poste's disappearance allowed Cynner and Remata to take control of the ship, but their flight away from Vaced was short-lived when the ship's computer realized that something was wrong, and overrode all controls to return to Vaced. Oxic arrived shortly afterward, in an attempt to locate Tobb Jadak and discover what linked the Millennium Falcon to a possibly vast treasure.

Remember Alderaan
This Mon Calamari battle cruiser served as Lando Calrissian's flagship, during the time he spent as the commander of the New Republic's Special Operations force. The Remember Alderaan saw action during the Battle of Mindor, when Calrissian was able to reinforce the badly-outnumbered ships of the Rapid Response Task Force. The fact that there were so many starfighters in space around the Republic's fleet meant that, in addition to the debris found in the Taspan System, they were forced to deal with the shrapnel and scrap metal from destroyed starfighters as well. The Remember Alderaan took the brunt of this starfighter debris, until her shields overloaded and the debris began to strike the hull. To the dismay of his command crew, Lando simply stayed put, waiting for the coronal flares that were about to start on the surface of Taspan. These flares would spew radiation into the system, damaging any electronic systems. Lando waited until the last possible moment, then ordered the Republic's ships to move as close to Mindor as possible, using the planet to shield them from the radiation as it rendered Lord Shadowspawn's gravity mines and gravity stations all but useless.

This young Squidge and his companion, Otalp, were believed to have encountered a protocol droid in a remote cave on their homeworld. This droid, according to legend, told them of the oppression of the Empire and the struggle of the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. The story was said to have parelleled the history of the Squidge and their subjugation by the Vindar. Before the end of the story, however, a group of Vindar discovered their location. Otalp was caught out in the open with the droid, but Remoh remained hidden. When the Vindar apprehended Otalp, they demanded that he tell them where his companion went. When Otalp refused, he was killed by the Vindar. This prompted Remoh to take up arms against the Vindar, in hopes of freeing his people.

Renatasia III
One of the jewels of the Renatasia System, Renatasia III was one of the first places colonized by the Renatasian humans, who were believed to have been part of the ancient Grizmallt colonization efforts. The Renatasians eventually colonized all eight planets in the system, but Renatasia III was still the most beautiful. Following the birth of the Empire, Osuno Whett and Vuffi Raa began studying the Renatasians. Whett was going to use the system as a base of operations, and a way to gain power within the Empire. They were there for 700 days before the Imperial fleet arrived to take over the System.
(LCF, LCS, NECH)
Renatasia IV
One of the jewels of the Renatasia System, Renatasia IV was one of the first places colonized by the Renatasian humans. The Renatasians were believed to have descened from Grizmallt colonists, who were considered "lost" during the Old Republic. They eventually colonized all eight planets in the system, but Renatasia IV remained one of the most artistic worlds, until the Empire invaded the system.
(LCS, NECH)
Renatasia System
A system which existed outside the bounds of both the Old Republic and the Empire, the Renatasia System never truly developed a deep-space-faring technology. The system was made up of eight planets surrounding a medium-sized yellow star. The Renatasians, being hardy stock, evolved on Renatasia III and Renatasia IV, and eventually colonized all eight, regardless of the heat or cold environments. It was believed that the Renatasian people were the descendants of one of the many Grizmallt colony ships that were considered to have been lost during the Old Republic. The system's inhabitants were happy in their isolation, until Osuno Whett and Vuffi Raa discovered the system. The Renatasians declared that Vuffi Raa was some form of god or deity, and immediately trusted him and Whett. Whett used this trust to his advantage, and planned to take control of the system and all of its resources for himself. When Whett reported the location of the system, the Imperial Navy stepped in and took over the system, killing nearly two-thirds of the Renatasians before declaring the system Imperialized. The victory was not without its costs, as the Renatasians fought back with everything they had. Ultimately, nearly three-quarters of the Imperial troops sent into battle on the eight worlds in the system were killed. At the height of the subjugation, new troopships were arriving hourly to replace those soldiers who were being killed in battle. Osuna Whett and Vuffi Raa escaped with the Imperials, but the surviving Renatasians believed that Vuffi Raa - the being who they had once deemed a godsend - was the cause of their destruction. Led by Klyn Shanga, a group of Renatasian vigilantes hunted down Vuffi Raa and Lando Calrissian, with the aid of Rokur Gepta. However, after encountering Osuna Whett again, Shanga realized that the college professor was the true mastermind behind the attack on Renatasia. He stopped the hunt for Vuffi Raa, and his men eventually succeeded in killing Whett, in an act of revenge.

Renatta Needle Ship
This swift racing ship was developed by Renatta Racing Systems during the last centuries of the Old Republic. Much of their power was derived from the use of Tobal lenses in the photon drive systems, a fact that also made the ships hard to maintain. The Tobal lens was dangerous to handle, and was extremely difficult to replace on the open market. Because of this, Renatta Racing System eventually went bankrupt. The needle ships, however, remained popular with collectors and racers, and commanded a high price if the Tobal lens was still intact.

Renatta Racing Systems
This corporation, active during the last decades of the Old Republic, produced some of the fastest needle ships in the galaxy.

For these reasons, Renatta Racing Systems went broke.

A short, overweight human, Kybo Ren was an infamous pirate captain who operated during the early days of the Empire. He had a long, dangling moustache and a small goatee beard. He and his pirates operated from the Tarnoonga System, where Kybo Ren hid his flagship Demolisher until it was absolutely needed. His ambition was to acquire the wealth of the royalty from the planet Tammuz-an, and many of his pirate raids were aimed at Tammuz-an transports. When Kybo Ren and his pirates decided to attack the planet Tammuz-an outright, they found themselves in the midst of a power struggle between Zatec-Cha and Mon Julpa. Because of the efforts of C-3PO, Kybo Ren was captured by Mon Julpa and imprisoned. His former aide, Jyn Obah, later broke Kybo Ren out of prison. During the escape, Kybo Ren took princess Gerin hostage, and fled to Bogden. The Tammuz-an put aside their differences and sent a rescue mission to recover princess Gerin. Kybo Ren was again captured in the fighting, and returned to prison.

Rendar, Dash
A mercenary friend of Lando Calrissian, Dash Rendar was a tall, lean human with red hair, green eyes, and pale skin. He attended the Acadmey on Carida, and was a year behind Han Solo. During his time at the Academy, his brother Stanton accidentally crashed a transport ship into one of Emperor Palpatine's Coruscant museums. The Emperor was extremely upset about the damage, and confiscated the Rendar family's wealth and holdings. They were banished from Coruscant, and Dash was expelled from the Academy. This left a bitter taste in Dash's mouth, and he turned to being a smuggler, thief, and card shark to make money. He helped the Alliance out by smuggling them food stores whenever possible. He helped Zak and Tash Arranda escape from the Star of Empire after it had been sabotaged by the Systems Infiltration Manager program. He once delivered food to the base on Hoth, and was about to leave when the Empire attacked. He flew one of the Alliance's modified T-47s against the Imperial AT-ATs during the Battle of Hoth, and was responsible for bringing one of the walkers down. He was able to flee the planet in the ensuing evacuation, but remained a smuggler rather than joining the Alliance outright. He returned a favor he owed to Lando by checking out the rumor that Boba Fett had stopped on Gall before delivering the frozen body of Han Solo to Jabba the Hutt. Having verified the rumor, he led the New Republic to the moon, but opted to stay out of the firefight. Fett managed to escape with Solo's body, but Dash continued to help the Republic. He was present when Luke Skywalker escaped from Jabba the Hutt's swoop gang on Tatooine, and later assisted in the rescue of Princess Leia Organa from Prince Xizor's palace on Coruscant. In the battle that raged following the rescue, Dash's starship, the Outrider was hit by a piece of Xizor's destroyed skyhook. The ship disintegrated, and it was believed that Dash perished in the crash. Rumors abound that he fled into hyperspace, not desiring any repayment or celebrity from the Alliance. Rendar showed up a few years later, having met the reprogrammed Guri on a backwater world known as Hurd's Moon. He recognized that the use of certain procedures would allow a human mind to live much longer than expected if it was placed in a droid body. Working with Guri, Dash adapted the entechment variation developed by the Ssi-ruu for use on humans, allowing the human mind to be stored in the computer center of a human-replica droid. Dash's brother, Stanton, was one of the first humans to undergo the treatment, and eventually took over the business.

Rendar, Stanton
This man was Dash Rendar's older brother. He was a pilot with the family shipping business, RenTrans, and often made runs to Coruscant during the early years of the New Order. Unfortunately for Dash and his family, it was Stanton's ship that suffered a catastrophic failure in its control systems during a return trip to Coruscant. The ship crashed into one of Emperor Palpatine's private museums of Sith artifacts and lore. Stanton was believed to have died in the crash, and the Rendar family was ostracized from Imperial favor. All of RenTrans' contracts with the Empire were terminated, and transferred to Xizor Transport Services. Stanton, however, managed to survive the crash, and fled into the depths of space. Jaina Solo discovered that Stanton was the brains behind the ODT company, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. After it was revealed that Molierre Cundertol had been exposed as an enteched mind in the body of a human replica droid, Jaina followed Cundertol's trail to Onadax and the ODT company. There, she confronted Stanton about the dangers of the HRDs being produced by ODT. Stanton explained that he was only providing a service to his customers, and was not laible for what they after the modified entechment procedure was completed. He also revealed that he himself had undergone the procedure, and was living proof of its stability and effectiveness. Rather than have Jaina expose him, however, Stanton took his personal files and fled Onadax, but not before setting off a self-destruct sequence that destroyed the entire ODT complex. He had hoped to kill Jaina in the blast, but she too escaped.

This planet was the site of the Rendili StarDrive space construction center. The Victory-class Star Destroyer was built here, in the wake of the Clone Wars. It was during the height of the Clone Wars that the leadership of Rendili agreed to join the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and threatened to turn over their entire fleet of Dreadnaughts to the Separatists. Rendili's military leaders were formerly members of the Old Republic's military, and it was hoped that an agreement could be reached to keep the fleet from joining the Separatist armed forces. Jedi Master Plo Koon, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, and Captain Jan Dodonna traveled to Rendili to try and reach such an agreement, but a mutiny aboard the Mersel Kebir led to a full-scale conflict.
(SWSB, ISU, RDR)
Rendili Fleet Crisis
This was one of the major events that occurred during the height of the Clone Wars, shortly after the destruction of Honoghr's ecosystem. The conflict began when the government of Rendili declared its support for the Confederacy of Independent Systems, more than two years after the Battle of Geonosis. They had planned to turn their entire homeworld security fleet of Dreadnaughts over to the Separatists, an act that Supreme Chancellor Palpatine feared would provide the Separatists with a military advantage over the Old Republic. Thus, Jedi Masters Saesee Tinn and Plo Koon were dispatched to Rendili to prevent the defection of the Rendili fleet at any cost, including the utter destruction of the fleet. Captain Jace Dallin of the Rendili navy would have agreed to turn the fleet over to the Republic, but one of his junior officers led a mutiny. Mellor Yago managed to gain control of the fleet for a brief time, but the arrival of Separatist forces only gave the Republic's warships a reason to begin firing. In a brief exchange, many of the Dreadnaughts were disabled. Yago attempted to execute a linked jump into hyperspace, but a daring mission by Anakin Skywalker disabled Yago's flagship. Anakin's mission provided enough cover to allow Obi-Wan Kenobi and Quinlan Vos to rescue Plo Koon and Jace Dallin, and the Separatist forces in orbit around Rendili were defeated. The Rendili fleet was then surrendered to the Republic. The outcome not withstanding, Chancellor Palpatine saw the possible defection of the Rendili fleet as a dangerous possibility for the Republic, and pushed for legislation that would bring every Republic world's home fleet under the direct command of the Republic itself.

Since then, Rendili had spent much of its time designing new capital ship designs, but nothing as popular as these designs. Rendili was one of the original Signatory Sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority.

Rendrake, Ander
This man served as the communications officer aboard the Star Desrtroyer Vendetta, during the Galactic Civil War. He attended the Imperial Academy, and was two classes behind Han Solo. He and Solo became friends, as both shared an independent streak. Unlike Solo, Rendrake completed his training and remained with the Empire, although his good-hearted nature was sorely tested by Imperial doctrine. Eventually, Rendrake decided to defect to the Alliance. He was asked, and agreed, to return to Imperial service and act as a deep-cover agent. Rendrake developed a kind of black market aboard the Vendetta, providing those luxuries most officers and crewers couldn't find in their ration kits. With this network of friends, Rendrake learned a great deal about the ship's movements and missions, and relayed this information to the Alliance.

Renewal
The Ssi-ruuvi process by which a human was cleansed of any resistance to the aliens, and in which new thoughts and emotions were implanted.
(TB)
Renewal
The process by which the Syndicat that controlled the planet Phindar could wipe clean the memories of a Phindian, leaving them without any idea of who they were or where they came from. This process used advanced technology to erase part or all of a Phindian's memory, allowing the Syndicate to eliminate any Phindians who posed a threat to the Syndicat's control of the planet. Sometimes, the memory-wiped Phindian was placed on another planet, and the Syndicat would bet on how long they could survive. Sometimes, just to be cruel, the Syndicat would release the "renewed" Phindian on Phindar, and they would be unable to find there way home. The process itself involved placing the head of a being into a special chamber, where carefully-tuned jolts of energy were administered to the brain and nervous system. Over a period of time, these painful jolts erased specific memory centers, removing the victim's memories. It was believed that the process might also work in reverse, but there was no evidence to support this claim.

Renik
According to the Imperial Intelligence agency, this was the name of a legendary ritual performed by the Delorf race. Renik was performed to cleanse the hostility and treachery from a villainous person. Once the ceremony was completed, the person was a member of the Delorf race in mind, if not in body. Many beings who learned of the renik ceremony were skeptical of its veracity, since no other records of the Delorf existed, and it was believed within the walls of Imperial Intelligence that the term was simply a re-spelling of the name of the Old Republic Admiral, Kiner.
(ISB)
Renik
This Imperial Intelligence counterintelligence branch was charged with the infiltration and subsequent assimilation or elimination of enemy intelligence agencies. Agents of the Renik force could also call in more firepower, if an enemy operation was too large to handle alone. Although many insiders believed that the name Renik derived from the name of Old Rpeublic Admiral Kiner, the branch itself claimed that was taken from a mysterious ritual performed by the Delorf race. Regardless of the true origin of its name, Renik was effective in taking over enemy spy agencies and scouring their databanks for information. The agency was an instrumental part of the Death-Hunter project, mainly due to the influence of Moff Jesco Comark, who took control of the agency after being ousted from the governorship of Chandrila. Comark redirected the funds which should have maintained Renik into his pet project, the Death-Hunter cyborg. Renik personnel were used to kidnapped the various human subjects required to create the lethal cyborgs.
(ISB, SWJ9)

Renkel, Zazana
This woman, living on Tarhassan during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, fell in love with Edbit Teeks. Despite his work for the Old Republic's Intelligence agency, Teeks also fell in love with Zazana. His sudden disappearance took the Republic by surprise, and the rookie agents dispatched to rescue him set out to locate Zazana for questioning. The team, led by Cherek Tuhm, latched onto the possibility that Zazana might have betrayed him, and brought her in for questioning. Their bureaucratic style grated on everyone's nerves, especially Joram Kithe and Mapper Gann, who quickly understood that Zazana was innocent. In an effort to get the team back on track, Joram and Mapper agreed to "eliminate" Zazana after interrogating her further. They both agreed to drug Zazana and leave her in a remote location to recover, then set out to locate Teeks themselves.

The sisters were part of an Imperial deep-cover security team, until their cover was broken and the band assaulted by Alliance forces. The Renliss sisters left for dead - their primarily male leaders fleeing before they could be killed themselves - and Jalindas was forced to drag Gratina out of the battle alone. A female bounty hunter found them and agreed to help them. They survived until the Alliance forces were called to another battle, and made their way back to civilized space. The sisters changed their names and started their guild, attracting only female hunters. The Empire eventually discovered their true identities, but chose to employ them as hunters rather than prosecute them for desertion. Gratina maintained a staunch vigil over her sister's life, taking it as a personal mission to hunt down anyone who threatened Jalindas' life.

This man was known as "Solo's Bane" to his companions on Selenius VII. A moderately-skilled bounty hunter, Renlo decided that he was going to capture Han Solo and return him to Jabba the Hutt for the bounty on his head. Renlo spent all his credits on a new ship, advanced weapons and technology, and even private combat instructions. In the end, however, his technology was no match for Solo's own skills. Renlo returned to Selenius VII without his ship, and bloodied and battered from battle. His friends jokingly called him "Solo's Bane" from that point on.

This man owned and operated the freight hauler Worldhopper with the help of his twin sons. The boys, however, were more interested in becoming fighter pilots, and didn't listen to everything Rennik ordered. He continually had to keep after the boys in order to keep the ship working. Rennik was contacted by the droids Whistler and Gate, through a series of remote contacts, in order to get the droids from their location in Imperial space to Oradin, on the planet Brentaal. The droids escaped the compound held by Ysanne Isard and Broak Vessery, and were trying to reach the Grand Oradin Hotel and meet up with Talon Kaarde. Rennik's boys welded flags to the droids and used them for target practive during the trip. Whistler stored digitized images of the two boys for later use, as the targets of one of the many practical jokes it had learned while serving with Corran Horn in the Corellian Security Force.

Renthal, Drea
This woman was one of the most influential pirate captains who worked the trade during the early years of the New Order. She was hired by the Hutts to assist in the defense of the moon after Moff Sarn Shild decided to level the civilization there as an example to other smugglers. Although the ultimate outcome of the battle went in favor of the residents of Nar Shaddaa, Drea's ship Renthal's Fist was destroyed in the combat. She later hooked up with Lando Calrissian, and the two traveled as pirates for a while aboard her new ship, Renthal's Vengeance. Lando parted ways with her shortly before the great sabacc tournament on Coud City, claiming that pirate life was too "coarse" for his tastes. Drea eventually had the Renthal's Fist rebuilt, although was was never the same ship again. She used an asteroid to drag the Queen of Empire out of hyperspace shortly after Boba Fett captured Bria Tharen and Lando Calrissian. In a brilliant set of negotiations, Drea bargained for their freedom and won it from the notorious bounty hunter by paying Bria's bounty from the spoils of the Queen of Empire.

Stanton could not handle the ship, which crashed into one of Emperor Palpatine's museums. The museum held a wealth of ancient Sith artifacts and lore, and the Emperor was very angry. He terminated all relationships with RenTrans, black-listed the Rendar family, and transferred all shipping accounts with RenTrans over to Xizor Transport Systems.

It was unknown whether Reosss knew the convoy was Imperial, but the Empire quickly retaliated. The Winnard Clan was hunted down and decimated. Their leader, Cloone, told the Empire of Reosss' existence, and that it was believed he was unaware of the affiliation of the convoy. Nevertheless, Reosss was expelled from the Clan, which Cloone was later able to rebuild. In order to ensure that Reosss was brought to justice for the deaths of the Clan's original members, Cloone issued a bounty on the Trandoshan's head. The bounty was further increased by the Empire, when it was learned that Reosss might be working for the Alliance.

RePlanetHab
This was one of the many corporations that rose to power in the wake of the Galactic Alliance's defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong, some thirty years after the Battle of Endor. RePlanetHab's mission seemed humanitarian enough, as they were chartered to seek out uninhabited worlds that would either provide raw materials for rebuilding the galaxy, or living space for the many dishomed races and refugees. Many government officials, and the new Jedi order, feared that corporations like RePlanetHab were growing too powerful, and were slowly becoming profit-hungry entities that cared little for the peoples they were supposed to be helping. It was even said that many of these corporations were secretly paying off certain Senators for the rights to new systems. The simple fact that the Reconstruction Authority was giving preference to larger corporations with more resources when it came to administering claim rights was proof enough to many independent explorers, including Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo.

Repness, Atton
This New Republic Colonel was in command of a starfighter training group known as the Screaming Wookiees, but was also involved in the selling of stolen starship and parts on the black market. He would use the pilots with the least potential to help him steal ships, promising them a chance to redeem themselves if they would "lose" a starfighter on a mission. His team would later recover the ship and sell it on the black market, after the New Republic listed it missing in action. If the pilot proved to be incorruptible, Repness would either blackmail them into his plans or threaten them with expulsion. If they still refused to help, Repness would backdate progress reports which would indicate the pilot's inability to adapt to the Republic's regimens, and have the pilot ousted from any kind of service. He was also quite paranoid about being discovered, and scanned potential pilots with a comlink-like device that prohibited recording. He also used it when he was working alone, as he tended to talk in his sleep. He was Tyria Sarkin's commanding officer, and when she refused to be part of his plans, he got her blacklisted from the pilot ranks. She later joined Wraith Squadron, and told her comrades about Repness' schemes. This prompted Garik Loran and Ton Phanan to propose a plan to expose Repness to Wedge Antilles, who grudgingly agreed with their plan. They convinced Lara Notsil to be their "bait," but Lara - the former Gara Petothel - proved to be more skilled than they hoped. She stole much of Repness' own records after slicing into them, including the records of all the fighter pilots he had "washed out." She then sent an anonymous message to General Cracken, detailing Repness' entire operation. Repness caught her, and would have beat her senseless if Cracken's forces hadn't arrived to arrest him. In the end, Repness was relieved of duty and brought up on several charges. As an ironic twist, Lara was assigned Repness' X-Wing and his astromech, which she named Tonin.

Reproduction Center
This was the simple name given to the facility where two Bith mates went to create their offspring. After selective mates chose each other's child-patterns and were introduced to each other through the Computer Mating Service, they took their DNA to the Reproduction Center for propagation. The Bith pair then returned to their homes, where they waited for a year while their offspring were allowed to grow and mature under careful monitoring. Because this method of reproduction had been started many generations before the onset of the Clone Wars, many xenobiologists believed that the Bith had lost the ability to reproduce naturally.

Republic Cruiser
Manufactured by the Corellian Engineering Coroporation, this ship was used by the Old Republic as the basis for its fleet of consular ships. Originally designed nearly a millennium before the onset of the Galactic Civil War, the Republic Cruiser was also known as the Consular-class Space Cruiser. It which measured 115 meters in length and required a crew of eight to control, and was built from the same basic design as the Corellian Space Cruiser. Its forward section resembled that of the later Corellian Gunship, while its aft section was dominated by three Dyne 577 radial atomizing sublight engines. This engine array gave the ship a top speed of 900 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. It moved through hyperspace with the help of a Longe Voltrans CD-3.2 tri-arc hyperdrive.
Being designed as a purely diplomatic vessel, the ship had no weaponry, but did have nine escape pods to handle its maximum of sixteen passengers. The communications array that was used on these ships dominated the aft section of the fuselage, and was capable of transmitting and receiving signals from other ships or ground-based installations, in thousands of languages recognized by the Old Republic. However, after the outbreak of the Stark Hyperspace War and the onset of the Clone Wars, many of these cruisers were refitted with weaponry and armor plating to ensure their passengers could safely travel across the galaxy. At the height of the Clone Wars, it was not uncommon to find a Republic Cruiser that had been refitted with specialized salon pods that better suited military missions.
The Corellian Engineering Corporation chose to produce these vessels with minimal appointments, so that it could be sold to diplomats and governments that were in need of transport but had limited budgets. This meant that many Senators of the Old Republic found it to be too bland for their tastes. The Republic Cruiser did find a niche with the Jedi Order, since its spartan appointments were aligned with the Jedi minimalism. In the wake of the Clone Wars, many Republic Cruisers were scrapped and sold for parts. Those that survived the conflict found their way into pirate fleets and system patrol fleets.

Republic Cruiser
This was another name used to describe the Venator-class Star Destroyer.

Republic Mobile Surgical Unit
This was the name given to the field hospitals that were established by the Grand Army of the Republic, during the Clone Wars. Each RMSU - Rimsoo, for short - was staffed by military officers, surgeons, medics, nurses, and their supporting personnel, creating a complete hospital location that could be moved close to a battlefront. The primary mission of each RMSU was to patch up the Republic's casualties of battle, in an effort to keep attrition to a minimum in the face of the massive and easy-to-replace troops of battle droids that fought for the Confederacy of Independent Systems. As the name suggested, each RMSU could be packed up and ready to move within an hour's notice, in case the tide of the battle indicated the unit's current position might be overrun.
As the Clone Wars ground on, many RMSUs found that they were unable to keep up with the injuries and casualties of the fighting. These units were forced to request assistance from any Republic warships in the vicinity, to transport injured and dying clones to the nearest medical facility.

Repulsor
This was the generic term used to describe any device that used electromagnetic force to levitate an object off the ground. A repulsor used the available gravity as an opposing force to cause the object to float above the ground. In a situation where a landspeeder hovered over the ground, the landspeeder moved over the ground because the planet below would not. Thus, a repulsor could be tuned to provide a certain amount of lift, usually enough to counteract the force of gravity that would hold the object on the ground. These devices were considered marvels of technology, since they used very little energy to maintain their local gravity field, and generated very little in the form of emissions. Once the repulsor was activated, virtually no excess radiation or heat was produced, making repulsors safe for almost any use in and around organic beings. Most beings believed that repulsors could only be used on the ground, where the repulsor could oppose the immense gravity of a planet. However, they could also be used in space, where they were just as effective in pushing against a natural or artificial gravity well. One of the primary sources of repulsor technology was the planet Bakura, which was usurped by the Empire about three years before the Battle of Endor. The Bakurans found ways to create repulsors of various sizes, and used them in chairs, cars, and cargo carriers. Repulsor technology was employed to move vehicle and starships around on the ground, while handheld repulsors were produced to help move cargo around in a hangar. Massive repulsors were employed to keep outposts like Cloud City in orbit around a planet, and micro-repulsors were developed for use in fine jewelry.

It measured eight meters in length, had a flight ceiling of only two meters, and could attain speeds up to 300 kilometers an hour.
(POM, GSE)
Repulsor Threader
This device was developed for use by podracers, as a way to help maneuver their racers through certain racecourse obstacles. The threader contained a small repulsor unit that monitored the racer's position in relation to physical obstacles such as rock walls and buildings, and created a repulsor field that kept the racer from bumping into them. In this way, a podracer could focus on the course ahead, and allow the threader to keep the vehicle from crashing into an obstacle.

(RAC)
Repulsor-In
A form of obstacle used in swoopchasing, this large wall of solid material was covered with a repulsorfield that used artificial gravity to pull swoop racers toward it at an accelerated rate. The effect was not unlike being caught in a tractor beam. A racer had to let off the thrust and concentrate on guiding the swoop over the wall, or else be drawn into a crash.
(BSS)
Repulsorjet
This was a form of repulsorlift engine that projected its energy in a specific direction that could be moved about as needed. By using repulsorjets, a starship on the ground or in the atmosphere could be manuevered in a specific direction. This technology worked in much the same way as a maneuvering jet worked in the vacuum of space.

(HTTE, JS)
Repulsorlight
This device was a light source attached to a small repulsorlift which can be used in places where light was needed but cannot be held in place.
(JS)
Repulsor-Out
This swoopchase obstacle was the opposite of a Repulsor-In wall. Instead of using artifical gravity to draw a swoop racer toward the wall, a Repulsor-Out generated a field which repelled approaching racers. This meant that racers had to use their swoop's own acceleration to overcome the repulsing force in order to clear the wall.
(BSS)
Repulsorsail
This unique implementation of repulsor technology was developed for ocean-going vessels more than 500 years before the Galactic Civil War. The sails of these vessels were woven with a network of tiny repulsorlift generators, which turned their anti-gravity fields perpendicular to the field of gravity. This caused pressure on the sails that was similar to the forces of wind, allowing a vessel to move about on the water with ot without natural winds.

Requud
This Hapan noble woman was in command of the Battle Dragon Deserving Gem during the years following the Swarm War. Ducha Requud supplied her ship to the Hapan Home Fleet when Tenel Ka ordered the Home Fleet to assist with the defense of the hidden Jedi base on Shedu Maad. When the Home Fleet was trapped near Uroro Station during the fighting, the Dragon Queen was mysteriously attacked, and all members of the royal family had been killed. Hapan Signals Intelligence began monitoring communications between the Deserving Gem and the Anakin Solo, suggesting that Ducha Requud was enlisting the help of the Imperial Moffs in assumed the role of Queen Mother. Unfortunately, the Imperial Moffs were never going to make a deal with Ducha Requud, and only curried her favor to get the nanokiller virus aboard the Dragon Queen. The Hapan forces on Shedu Maad later learned that Ducha Requud had been killed aboard the Deserving Gem.

Rescue Ball
This was a form of minimalist escape pod, used on smaller starships as a way to leave a starship that was disabled or in danger of being destroyed. A rescue ball was little more than a transparisteel sphere that could be sealed against the vacuum of space, with an individual safely inside. A dedicated tank of oxygen or other air mixture was attached to the sphere, along with a simple communications system. No propulsion was provided, however, nor was any form of shielding. A rescue ball was simply ejected into space, and the individual inside was forced to wait for a search and rescue team to recover the sphere. Thus, the use of a rescue ball was reserved for situations where a rescue was an imminent reality, or the situation was exceptionally dire.

This was the name given to the Imperial outpost established on the planet Kamino, after the Galactic Empire assumed control of the cloning operations on the planet. Where other Kaminoan cities, such as Tipoca City, were white in color and pristine, Research City was a grimy collection structures that were connected by an incomplete network of walkways and tubes. Although it incorporated several architectural elements of other Kaminoan locations, Research City had the appearance of being built quickly. Most of the research that went on in the city centered on the development of a genetically-altered form of life that could either attack or collect enemy forces using its maw. Kaminoan scientists were forced to work with Imperial scientists to create the strange beast, which had a tooth-filled mouth that was as wide as its body. The immense beast moved about with the help of six tentacles, giving it equal maneuverability on land and in the water. Each tentacle ended with a sharp claw that could be retracted into a sheath, and the combination of tentacles and claws allowed the creature capture its targetted prey and draw the prey into its mouth. Depending on the target, the creature could either consume its prey or store it inside a special chamber. This allowed the creature to kill or frighten away any non-essential targets, yet safely transport a specific target to an Imperial location.

Resonance Torpedo
This Imperial-developed projectile served as the Sun Crusher's primary weapon. Like the Sun Crusher itself, resonance torpedoes were developed at the isolated Maw Installation, where they were only tested but never actually used against a target. When shot from the Sun Crusher's unusual transmitting dish, a resonance torpedo homed in on the energy signature of a star's core and rocketed into the gases surrounding it. It then used a proximity alert to trigger a modulated resonance discharge. This caused the gases in the star's core to become hyper-activated, aging the star and causing it to destroy itself as a supernova in a matter of hours. The star's planets were then destroyed as two intense waves of radiation were blasted into space. The effects of the resonance torpedo were impossible to stop, once the reaction inside the star's core had been activated.

Resputi-seal
This fierce, ocean-going mammal was native to the lowest levels of Utapau's vast sinkholes, where it lived in caves that allowed it to reach the underground oceans with relative ease. Also known as rasputi, these vicious creatures often attacked Utai miners who were not careful in their excavations.

RES-Q Airspeeder
Developed by Ubrikkian, this 12-meter-long speeder was designed as a medical relief vehicle. It's oval shape allowed it to transport up to four medics and ten patients, as well as two metric tons of supplies. It was unusual among non-military speeders in that it was shielded, in order to better protect its patients during transport to a hospital.

Rest, The
This was the name given to the members of the Slientium, a race of aliens who had existed for eons in the depths of space. Having descended from a race of intelligent, organic machines created by an extinct culture that was destroyed by a supernova, their race had closer to a state of perfection than any other race in the galaxy. In appearance, The Rest appeared to be fifty-kilometer-long starships that were ovoid in shape and covered with polished silver plating. Nevertheless, they were semi-organic in composition, and they were entirely sentient. However, because of their desire to remain separated from the rest of the galaxy, these beings and their society had grown stagnant by the time of the New Order, and they longed for excitement and risks. One such risk, many millennia earlier, became a problem for them, as it caused violence and destruction, and they were forced to recover it. The One, though, foresaw that continued isolation and safety would eventually lead to the death of their civilization, so he created Vuffi Raa and sent the droid out into the galaxy to learn more about its peoples.

Reston, Nia
This woman and her partner, San Herrera, were Force-sensitive individuals who made conscious decisions not to train with the Jedi Knights on Coruscant. They didn’t want to deal with the demands of discipline and isolation imposed by the Jedi, and decided to remain on their homeworld of Cularin in order to help the Tarasin people. San and Nia funded a large relief effort, mainly by themselves, in order to ensure that the Hiironi Irstat was able to feed and defend itself from the predations of the Metatheran Cartel and other human intrusions. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, San and Nia began working on Life's Memories, a treatise on death which earned them a small amount of notoriety after they were interviewed by Yara Grugara. Years later, during the Clone Wars, they took up the cause of droid rights. In a detailed treatise dispatched to Cularin's newsnets, they argued that droids were sentient beings - more appropriately called synthetic persons - who needed to be set free. They argued that the Clone Wars was actually a struggled between two different kinds of synthetic persons - the droids of the Separatists and the clones of the Grand Army of the Republic - then provided four key recommendations for ensuring synthetic persons can exist as free beings, in parity with organic beings. The pair then shocked the Cularin System during the final months of the Clone Wars by posting a document to the HoloNet that questioned the loyalty and safety of the clone troopers used by the Republic. They argued that the source of the genetic material used for the clones was inherently flawed, that the clones were capable of independent thought and might eventually revolt against their superior officers, and that the cloning process was inexact and open to tampering. Herrera and Reston ended their posting by citing the various droid revolts in the history of the galaxy, and feared that there was a danger of something similar happening with the clones. They also wondered what would happen to the clone troopers after the war was ended. When the government of Cularin decided to officially join the Old Republic, Herrera and Reston both tried to rally the public around a plan to keep Cularin free. Their plan backfired, however, when it simply incited a riot that caused damage to much of the city of Gadrin. The pair were forced to flee the city and hide from law enforcement officials.

Restuss
This was the second settlement established on the moon Rori. It was located across a wide bog from Narmle, and was originally established after the population of Narmle was decimated by an outbreak of brainworm rot. Restuss served as a quarantine center for many decades, until it could be ensured that the brainworm rot had been eradicated. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, much of the city was destroyed when the Imperial Star Core project experienced a disaster. Luckily, the Imperial recognized the problem early enough to evacuate the local population before an explosion ripped through the city, causing untold amounts of damage.

Resurgence
This Nebulon-B frigate was one of the many ships that were loyal to the growing rebellion that was forming around Senators Bail Organa and Mon Mothma, during the early years of the New Order. Shortly after being put into service, the Resurgence was sent to Felucia, during the rescue of Admiral Gilder Varth. This ship served as a mobile base where Varth could be spared from Imperial control. The ship was later dispatched to Coruscant, during the investigation into the Sarlacc Project, where it took heavy fire from Imperial Star Destroyers while trying to rendezvous with the freelance agents who were working for Senator Organa. The rescue mission was led by Jedi Master Denia, but fell into the same Imperial trap that had been laid for the agents. The Resurgence was badly damaged and eventually destroyed, and although the agents managed to escape, Master Denia was captured by Inquisitor Draco.

Ret
This heavy-bodied race of humanoids was native to the planet Gelefil. Distinguished by their reptilian features and smooth skin, the Ret were peaceful race of beings who led long lives. Their society was shattered some 322 years before the Battle of Yavin, when the Annoo-dat conquered the planet Gelefil, taking control of the planet. The peaceful Ret eventually adopted much of the Annoo-dat society into their own, and the two races merged into a single society. After many decades of peace, the planet Gelefil was renamed Annoo, in honor of the original homeworld of the Annoo-dat. The Ret came to refer to themselves as Annoo-dat as well, forcing xenobiologists to designate them as the Annoo-dat Blue, in order to avoid confusion with the lizard-like Annoo-dat Prime.

Rethin
A metal which was molten at relatively low temperatures, it forms the core of the planet Bespin, and was mined for various uses. At slightly higher temperatures, rethin melts and eventually dissipates as a gas. It was very light in its gaseous form, and rethin was consumed by the beldons of Bespin to help them remain bouyant and float. The beldons then produce tibanna gas as a waste product. The unique space beldon, however, can produce its own rethin by digesting the interstellar gases of nebulae and gas clouds.

Retk, Wruq
This hulking, male Yaka served as a Colonel in the Galactic Alliance Security force, during the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Colonel Retk was stationed at the Galactic Alliance Storage facility were Valin and Jysell Horn were incarcerated, after they were captured following episodes in which both Jedi became violent in public. The Horns were encased in carbonite in order to ensure that they caused no further harm, and were hidden in the storage center to prevent the Jedi Order from locating them. However, the Jedi managed to obtain a legal order that gave them permission to visit the Horns, and Colonel Retk was forced to deal with their presence in the facility. He grew angry when the Jedi brought reporters with them, which allowed the reporters to see first-hand that the Horns were being maintained like trophies at the executive level of the facility, rather than with the rest of the prisoners. The reporters began asking questions, causing trouble for Retk and his team. Rather than bow to the Jedi, however, Retk chose to verbally abuse the Jedi, hoping to provoke a response that would portray the Jedi in an unfavorable light. This tactic failed to elicit a response, prompting Retk to boast that the Horn siblings were being maintained on the executive level so that he could tend to their maintenance personally. Mirax Horn, who had accompanied the Jedi to the facility, then punched Retk in the jaw, snapping his head back and knocking him unconscious with one blow.
(FJ3)
Retkin
This man served as a Major in the Imperial armed forces, during the years that followed the Battle of Endor. Major Retkin was stationed aboard the Star Destroyer Judicator, and he was regarded as one of the ship's best interrogators. It was Retkin who questioned Alex Winger, after she joined the New Republic and became a starfighter pilot. Her starfighter had been captured in space, and she was taken to a prison center that had been constructed in the bombed city of Sreina, on Janara III. Retkin used videos of similar interrogations performed on Alex's partner, Dair Haslip, hoping to elicit an emotional response from her. He even tried to use the health of her adopted father, Tork Winger, against her, but Alex remained resolute. However, when he explained that Tork had refused to allow Alex's death, Retkin was unprepared for Alex's reaction. She drew upon the Force and threw a chair at Captain Brandei, then turned her anger on Retkin. She took up another chair and swung it at his head, and Retkin was knocked unconscious. This allowed Alex the chance to escape, and she was soon reunited with Dair, who was posing as a stormtrooper in the corps that were stationed on Janara III.

(LF1)
Return, The
This was the term used by the descendants of the Sith Lords who crash-landed on the planet Kesh, some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, to describe their eventual return to power in the galaxy. Because their ship, the Omen, was badly damaged during the crash, the Sith were stranded on the planet with no chance of leaving on their own. The native Keshiri had no space-faring technology, and Kesh had no contact with the rest of the galaxy. Calling themselves the Tribe, these Sith persevered, and vowed to one day Return to the galaxy and join their fellow Sith. However, during the year that followed the Second Galactic Civil War, the members of the Tribe learned from the Sith meditation sphere known as Ship that the Sith had been all but eliminated from the galaxy. This gave even more meaning to the Return, since the Tribe seemed to be the only true heirs to the ancient Sith Empire.
(FJ3)
Return, The
According to the mythology of the Keshiri, the Return marked the era when the Destructors would return to the planet Kesh and render it asunder. When the Destructors did return, the Keshiri believed that they would be defended by beings known as the Protectors, who would protect them from harm and drive off the Destructors.

Morrina was sent to Brentaal live with relatives, and decided to join the Alliance and strike back at the Empire in any way she could. She eventually was employed by the government of Brentaal as a starport traffic controller. She worked her way up the ladder as far as she could while still remaining a controller, where she could maintain direct contact with the starships that passed through the starport. In this way, she could monitor incoming traffic for specific code phrases that identified Alliance starships. She arranged for these ships to be berthed where they could be left alone, and worked with Sarchen Snyle to ensure that their cargoes weren't inspected.
(CRO)
Reus, Keelyvine
This severe woman was one of the many Jedi Knights who served the Grand Army of the Republic as a General, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. General Reus served under Admiral Dron during the defense of the Ukio System. Much to her chagrin, Reus became the new teacher of the Zabrak Padawan known as Tyzen Xebec, after the death of Master Bolla Ropal. Thus, when they reached Ukio and could not find a Separatist presence there, Reus quickly assigned Tyzen to lead a reconnaissance mission to the planet's surface. In private conversation with Jedi Master Kit Fisto, Reus explained that she believed Tyzen was reckless and unfocused, and that the mission would help him overcome these traits. Master Fisto, however, asked Reus to delve into the Force and find a better way to connect with her new Padawan. Their arrival at Ukio was uneventful, until a single Trade Federation battleship entered the planet's atmosphere and began to deploy modified seismic tanks. Reus and Fisto took their fighters to investigate, although Reus and her R4-series astromech were at a loss to explain the situation. It was Captain Pharl McQuarrie who recognized that the seismic tanks were spreading soil from the Moorja Badlands onto the planetary shield, creating an artificial eclipse that threatened to destroy the planet's delicate crops. General Reus knew that dropping the planetary shield would dissipate the soil, but it would leave the planet undefended. She then ordered the Liege to drop the shields only where the soil was concentrated, while she ordered Admiral Dron to confront the battleship and engage it, hoping to draw off the Separatists' attention while the soil was eliminated.
When they realized that the seismic tanks were merely one aspect of Project Instinction, Master Reus and Master Fisto boarded their Jedi starfighters and set off to return to the surface of Ukio. Once on the planet, Reus found that Tyzen and Sanya had managed to destroy much of the technology that was established on the planet to create sonic disturbances that were affecting the native wildlife. However, she arrived just as Tyzen was being attacked by a Separatist tactical droid, and Master Reus was able to destroy the droid before it killed Tyzen. Master Reus was able to congratulate Tyzen on his actions, knowing that he had been able to knock out the sonic generators by working with another student and a handful of clone troopers.
(CWOC2)
Reuss Corporation
This industrial giant was headquartered on Reuss VIIi. The Reuss Corporation was given total control of the planet after the Empire took control of Zeuss VIII, and much of the farming and agriculture that defined the planet was swept away in an industrial revolution that virtually enslaved the entire population of the planet and turned its once-green landscape into a toxic wasteland. During the early years of the New Republic, the corporation was under the control of Torel Vorne, who was little more than a crimelord who was elevated to a position of power by virtual of his association with the Empire. However, the markets in which the Reuss Corporation did business soon became more competitive, and Reuss could not match the abilities of larger corporations to produce similar goods at cheaper prices. Rather than give in, Torel Vorne set up a black market for the collection of viable organs and organic tissues, which he sold at great profit in the Core Worlds. This practice brought the Reuss Corporation and Torel Vorne under the watchful eye of the New Republic, and Major Bren Derlin was dispatched to investigate. With the help of shockboxer Lobar Aybock, Derlin was able to expose Vorne's criminal actions, and the Reuss Corporation was forced to suspend its corporate operations until further investigations could take place. Vorne himself fled the planet, hoping to avoid criminal prosecution.

Reuss VIII
This planet, the primary world in the Reuss System, was located in the Portmoak Sector of the Outer Rim. It was once a lush, green world filled with beautiful vistas and a mild climate. This environment helpde a number of farms and agricultural corporations establish roots on the planet, and Reuss VIII was a major food producer for the Outer Rim Territories. However, the industrial revolution that swept the planet after the Empire took control of the plane tleft it a toxic, polluted wasteland under the control of Torel Vorne. Vorne had managed to turn Reuss VIII into Portmoak Sector's industrial juggernaut, at the expense of its environment. Reuss VIII's day lasted 20 standard hours, and its year lasted 210 local days.

Reva
This was the nickname given by an unknown Gungan to his blaster rifle, during a pro-Cularin rally staged by San Herrera and Nia Reston in the city of Gadrin during the final days of the Old Republic. The two humans had been calling for Cularin to cut off its ties to the Republic, fearing that interference from the Galactic Senate would cause more problems than the Thaereian Military. Their speech, however, only served to incite the crowd - including the gun-slinging Gungan - to demand Cularin's freedom. In the resulting riot, Herrera and Reston fled the scene, hoping to avoid arrests.

Revan
This ancient Jedi Knight was one of the many which participated in the defense of the Old Republic during the years following Great Sith War, nearly 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Near the end of the Mandalorian Wars, Revan was believed to have been at the heart of the Revanchist movement, which pushed for Jedi involvement in bringing the conflict to an end. He later was part of a task force that was dispatched to Cathar, to investigate rumors that the Mandalorians had all but wiped out the Cathar people. The group of Jedi experienced a shared vision of the past, in which they saw the Mandalorians attack and kill the Cathar. In the vision, Revan saw that one Mandalorian, a being named Ke'serim, stood up to Cassus Fett and demanded that the Cathar be spared. Fett refused, and killed Ke'serim as well as the Cathar. Revan then found Ke'serim's helmet and put it on, declaring that he would not remove it until the Mandalorians were defeated. Revan and his fellow Jedi Knight, Malak, later put down a Mandalorian uprising in the Outer Rim during the war, but were brought into contact with the Dark Side of the Force.
Revan began to study the Sith lore, and eventually named himself Darth Revan, a Dark Lord of the Sith, with Malak as his apprentice. The two set out to wage their own battles against the Jedi Knights and the Old Republic, until Revan was captured in battle. Malak took up his master's mission and set out to continue the war against the Jedi. Meanwhile, Revan was taken to the Jedi enclave on Dantooine and given a complete memory wipe by Jedi Masters Dorak and Zhar Lestin. The Jedi Masters eliminated the taint of the Dark Side and returned him to the ways of the Jedi, giving Revan a new identity to help ensure that he didn't revert to the ways of the Sith. The Jedi Masters believed that Revan would be the only being who could bring down Darth Malak. To ensure the transformation was complete, Revan was paired with Bastila Shan on a mission to locate Malak and the Star Forge. After the pair was captured, along with Carth Onasi, and held by Darth Malak aboard the Leviathan, Revan was given information about the truth behind his return to the Light Side of the Force. He couldn't comprehend the duplicitous act, and nearly fell in battle during an escape attempt.
It was Bastila's brave attack that deflected Malak's attention, allowing Onasi and Revan to escape aboard the Ebon Hawk. Eventually, the group managed to destroy the Star Forge and Darth Malak with it, but the Jedi Order continued to struggle with schisms in its ranks. Revan himself recognized the nature of the galaxy, and left the Jedi Order to take the fight to the Sith. A large number of Jedi Knights followed Revan into battle, abandoning their training to fight the growing evil. These Jedi became known as Revanchists. Over time, the Jedi Order lost touch with Revan, and he was never seen again.
(KOTOR, SWI67, SWDB, KOTOR2, EGF, KOR14)
Revan, Darth
This was the self-bestowed title used by the former Jedi Knight Revan, during his campaigns against the Jedi and the Old Republic during the Great Sith War. As Darth Revan, he took his friend and former Jedi Malak as his apprentice, and they quickly began conquering star systems throughout the galaxy. The Jedi Order dispatched a group of agents, led by Bastila Shan, to lay a trap for the Sith Lords, and Darth Revan was believed to have been killed in battle. History clouded the details of the battle, and it was unclear whether Revan was killed by the Jedi or by his own apprentice. In actuality, Revan was simply captured by the Jedi and held for reconditioning. After a complete memory wipe, Darth Revan ceased to exist.
(SWI67, KOTOR, SWDB)
Revanchist
This was the name used by the galactic media to describe the sole Jedi Knight who spoke out about the growing threat of the Mandalorians, during the years following the Great Sith War. The man's true identity was not known, although it was believed that he was actually the Jedi Knight Revan, who once trained Alek Squinquargesimus. He was also known as the Revanchist Leader, since many members of the Jedi Crusaders supported his position. These Jedi Knights were later called the Revanchists by the media. His outspoken nature threw the Jedi High Council into a furor, since the leaders of the High Council refused to be drawn into a war against the Mandalorians. When the Mandalorian Wars broke, the Revanchist became a popular figure in the media, since his warnings might have prevented the conflict that spread across the galaxy. This only caused more consternation among the Jedi Masters and the High Council, who could not have a lone Jedi Knight causing trouble in the middle of the war.
(KOR4, KORH, KOR14)
Revanchist Leader, The
This was another term used to describe the Revanchist, during the era of the Mandalorian Wars.
(KORH)
Revanchists
This branch of the Jedi Knights was more commonly known as the Jedi Crusaders. This group represented those Jedi who chose to fight during the Mandalorian Wars. The name of this group came from the term Revanchist, which was coined by the media after it was learned that the Jedi Knight Revan had first proposed that the Jedi should arm themselves against the growing threat of the Mandalorians. After Lucien Draay was appointed to the Jedi Council, any member of the Jedi Crusaders who refused to renounce their support for the war were ordered to be arrested on site, as part of the Council's plans to let the Mandalorians destroy themselves from the inside.
(KOR4, KORH, KOR9, KOR14)
Revan's Holocron
This Sith holocron was believed to have been owned by Darth Revan, although it was considered to have been constructed before he controlled it and added himself as its gatekeeper. This holocron was discovered by Darth Bane on Korriban during the years leading up to the Battle of Ruusan, and Bane estimated that it was 3,000 years old at the time. After gathering what knowledge he could about the ancient Sith, Darth Bane destroyed Revan's Holocron in order to prevent other Sith from discovering its secrets. Among the many things Bane learned from Revan's teachings was the belief that the Sith could only exist if there was one Dark Lord at any time. Revan explained that the Sith needed a strong leader to rule them, and that a weak leader must be replaced. He also explained that there could only be one apprentice for any Sith master, since it was inevitable that several apprentices would unite and destroy their master, further diluting their strength. From these teachings, it was believed that Darth Bane developed the Rule of Two.
(EGF)
Reveille
This Galactic Alliance shuttle was commanded by Tycho Celchu, during the height of the Galactic Alliance's war against The Confederation. Tycho had been tasked by Admiral Cha Niathal to get a handle on the mental state of the military, in the wake of Jacen Solo's attack on Kuat and his failure during a rendezvous with Corellian delegates. She wanted to see how the average soldier was handling Jacen's increasingly strange and secretive orders, and sent Tycho as her personal representative. He flew the Reveille to the Anakin Solo, where he met up with his neice, Syal Antilles. To help Syal come to terms with the death of her fiance, Tion Rordan, during the Corellian rendezvous, Tycho had her assigned as the Reveille's pilot. The pair then set off to meet with Luke Skywalker and the Jedi Order, which had abandoned the Galactic Alliance in the wake of the Battle of Kuat. They carried with them Doctor Toval Seyah, hoping that the Jedi could provide him sanctuary after he was pulled off Centerpoint Station.
Tycho later agreed to allow the Jedi to use the Reveille on a mission to the Corellian System, where they hoped to destroy Centerpoint Station. Althugh Tycho piloted a starfighter as Rakehell Three, he used his access codes to fool the Anakin Solo's communications officers into believing that he was commaning the shuttle. His message indicated that the Reveille was under attack, and needed to make an emergency landing in one of the Star Destroyer's hangars.

Revenue
This Trade Federation LH-3210 freighter was dispatched to Dorvalla, shortly before the Battle of Naboo, to acquire a full cargo of lommite. It was under the command of Daultay Dofine at the time, and was crewed by a variety of different species. After taking on a full cargo of lommite, the Revenue was attacked by the Nebula Front pirates. Captain Arwen Cohl and his crew managed to acquire the cache of aurodium ingots before escaping the ship, which they had rigged to explode. Dofine and his crew managed to escape before the Revenue tore itself apart, and they were later rescued by the Acquisitor. It was later revealed that the destruction of the Revenue was one of the opening moves in Darth Sidious' plans to maneuver the Republic to side with the Federation, especially when it came to arming their freighters with battle droids, droid starfighters and additional weaponry.

Reverse Throttle Hop
This starfighter maneuver was developed as a way to overcome the break maneuver. In the break, a defending pilot would suddenly cut across the flightpath of the attacker, giving the attack only a brief firing option. By employing the reverse throttle hop, the attacker cut their speed and rose their fighter up into a sort of "hop" through space, slowing down and turning to follow the break maneuver of the defender. In this way, the attacker could remain behind the other ship, and re-establish a firing option after the defender was one again in front of them.

Reverse-S
This was a maneuvering tactic used by starfighter pilots to avoid being targetted by an enemy craft. The reverse-S involved two distinct actions, the first of which was the deployment of countermeasures that temporarily blinded the enemy's targeting computer. The pilot could then flip their fighter upside-down in a tight loop that took the fighter over and behind the enemy ship, giving the pilot the opportunity to drop into the enemy's blind spot. This gave the pilot a brief advantage, where there was just a few seconds in which to fire on the enemy ship.

The Rodian agreed to join Jabba, but chafed under the Hutt's leadership. Revidjasa was one of the many of Jabba's underlings who wasted no time in carving out his own piece of the Hutt's empire in the wake of his death on Tatooine. Revidjasa quickly made alliances with the Zygerian and Thalassian slaving guilds, building the largest slaving operation in the Mid Rim during the early years of the New Republic.

A plant-like species of alien native to the planet Revyia, the Revwien had a bulbous head and flowing, leaf-like appendages. Its body was a thick stalk shaped like a squash. The leafy appendages were prehensile, and were used in the absence of hands and feet. The bulbous head was really a seed case studded with sensory stalks that provide sight, smell, touch, and hearing. The Revwien were a peaceful race with the ability to remain calm in stressful situations. They were curious about the galaxy around them, but have no need for high technology. They prefer to simply develop those planets that have potential value. Many Revwien follow the teachings of the Tyia, a philosophy brought to Revyia by a missionary who travelled on an independent freighter to the planet. Tyia holds a strong regard to life and peace, the two things the Revwiens hold dearest. It was believed that the followers of the Tyia were somewhat adept at manipulating the Force, but they chose not to involve themselves with the Jedi Knights.

(ST)
Rex
This clone commander was one of the multitude that participated in the Clone Wars, serving the 501st Clone Trooper Battalion of the Grand Army of the Republic. Officially designated as CC-7567, Commander Rex served as Anakin Skywalker's second-in-command during many missions in the Outer Rim Territories. He refused to explain the reason behind the nickname Rex. Distinguished by his bald pate, Rex was known as a soldier's soldier, a professional warrior who was not afraid to speak his mind. Although he served loyally under Skywalker's command, he disapproved of those Jedi who wanted to negotiate a settlement rather than simply using the military might of the Grand Army of the Republic to overwhelm an enemy.
Distinguished in battle by the blue jaig eyes painted on his helmet, Commander Rex was identified during development on Kamino for his special ability to improvise in any situation. Although he was a weapons expert, Rex could fight his way clear of an enemy without a blaster rifle, if necessary. He received additional training as a commander, which earned him his position in the GAR. When Anakin discovered that he had been given the task of training Ahsoka Tano as a Padawan, during the Battle of Christophsis, Rex took the young girl aside and explained that there was no substitute for experience, no matter how much training she had been given. He was impressed with Tano's attitude, and he was rewarded with her loyalty when she followed in her Master's footsteps. Rex was nearly killed on Teth, when Asajj Ventress was able to disarm him. She then used the Force to strangle him, and used this power to force Rex to reveal Anakin Skywalker's location, although Rex did his best to alert Skywalker to her approach. Ventress then left him for dead, unaware that Rex was very much alive.
Rex and his men were able to escape from Teth when Anakin and Ahsoka drove Ventress off. He chose to grow out his hair, in order to be more like other clones in his unit, but he shaved it soon afterward. Although Torrent Company barely survived the Battle of Teth, a new set of clone troopers were assigned to the unit, and they were instrumental in several ensuing missions. The first of these missions occurred shortly after the return from Teth, when General Skywalker was called away on other business. He charged Rex with taking the restored Torrent Company and Ahsoka on the shakedown mission of the refitted Leveler, hoping that the group could learn more about the operations aboard a navay ship. Later, during an investigation into the possibility of a Separatist base on the planet Naboo, Rex and his troops were exposed to the Blue Shadow Virus. Ahsoka was also infected when one of Nuvo Vindi's assistant droids opened a vial containing the virus, prompting a desparate search for an antidote. Anakin and Obi-Wan were able to recover a specimen of reeksa root from the planet Iego, which was used to create an extract that destroyed the virus and saved the lives of those who were infected.

Rex, Et
This thin-bodied being was believed to be one of the Dark Jedi who were discovered during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Et Rex was captured, and was taken aboard the Radiant IX for transport back to Coruscant, but he managed to escape from his cell as the ship passed through the Hoth System. Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, were dispatched to investigate the Radiant IX's distress call, and found Et Rex in the holds. The Jedi discovered that Et Rex had not turned to the Dark Side, although he had followed Alysun Celz when she left the Jedi Order. Obi-Wan and Et Rex later found Celz as she attacked Anakin with Force Lightning, and tried to stop her. Thinking quickly, Et Rex flung several mynocks at her, hoping to distract her enough to be captured. However, the mynocks caused enough chaos that her Force Lightning ricocheted back at her, and Celz was killed in the conflagration. The Jedi were able to take control of the Radiant IX and return the ship to Coruscant. Et Rex was then taken into custody for questioning.

Further investigation revealed that the man's name was actually Hidu Rezodar, and that he had been a gangster who died about two years after the Battle of Yavin.
Rezodar's estate on Phaeda was left in limbo after his death, and no being came to claim it, forcing the government to maintain it indefinitely until someone did claim it. It was released by the Registery of Testaments and Legacies when Fett paid the required fees,giving him sole access to Rezodar's possessions. Although Rezodar left behind some valuable heirlooms, Fett and Mirta were only interested in a carbonite slab that contained the body of Sintas Vel.

Rezzo
This Rodian worked as a smuggler during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. About five years before the Battle of Geonosis, Rezzo teamed up with the Trandoshan smuggler Drossh, and the pair made their way rimward before ending up in the Cularin System as the Clone Wars broke out. Rezzo was the more cautious of the pair, preferring to remain ignorant of the cargos theey were carrying. When Drossh discovered that one shipment contained several huge weapons, Rezzo was unable to curb his partner's enthusiasm. The Trandoshan started activating one of the guns, and Rezzo tried to stop him. This caused the weapon's power systems to overload, resulting in a huge explosion that only multiplied when it set off the rest of the weapons. Both Rezzo and Drossh were killed in the explosion, and their ship - the Vor'Teth - was badly damaged and later sold as salvage.

Rhara, Clee
This female Jedi Knight agreed to establish a starfighter training facility on Centax 2, under the control of the Jedi Knights, some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. Distinguished by her orange hair, Clee had trained at the same time as Qui-Gon Jinn and Tahl, and knew both of them well. Many years later, after agreeing to set up the starfighter training facility, she met with opposition from the Old Republic Senate, which feared the Jedi would abuse the privilege of having its own starfighter force. Rumors originating in the Senate claimed that Clee Rhara had sabotaged several starfighters, in order to obtain additional funding for repairs and defenses. It was during this time that Clee Rhara took Garen Muln as her Padawan learner. Despite their efforts, though, the starfighter facility eventually proved too unwieldy to manage. The pair instead exemplified themselves on various missions for the Jedi. Just prior to the Clone Wars, Rhara and Muln accompanied Siri Tachi on a mission to the Xanlanner System. While en route, they discovered Obi-Wan's distress signal from TY44, and helped him reach Vanqor to rescue his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker.
(JAD, DOH, JQ7)
Rhea, Olaris
This woman was one of the most powerful members of The Tribe, the Sith who evolved on the planet Kesh. Distinguished by her blond hair and piercing blue eyes, Lady Rhea was a noted instructor and leader, and sat on the Sith Circle of Lords during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Lady Rhea took Vestara Khai as an Apprentice during the years following the Second Galactic Civil War, after the girl was chosen by the Sith meditation sphere known as Ship. Lady Rhea chose Vestara when it became apparent that Ship's appearance meant that the Sith might find a way to escape from Kesh and begin expanding their influence on the rest of the galaxy. Vestara became an excellent student and Apprentice, and as the Sith began to launch forays into the galaxy, Lady Rhea was placed in command of the converted cruiser known as the Eternal Crusader. During the return from a successful mission that added two more vessels to the growing fleet of ships commanded by the Tribe, Lady Rhea and Vestara both experienced a powerful surge in the Force, although the energy hit Lady Rhea quite hard. She reeled under its strength, and was forced to slump into her command chair in order to remain conscious. Vestara then sensed a connection to Ship, and the meditation sphere provided her with the name Skywalker.
Although Grand Lord Darish Vol declared that Lady Rhea and the crew of the Eternal Crusader would be sent to confront Skywalker, the sudden disappearance of Ship put a halt to those plans. Instead, Lady Rhea and her crew were dispatched to track down Ship, a mission that took them to the edge of a strange arrangement of black holes known as the Maw. Her chief rival, Lord Yuvar Xal, was named to serve as her executive officer, a move that showed Grand Lord Vol would not accept failure from either of them. Lady Rhea assumed command without voicing her concerns, and even tried to use humor to eliminate some of the fear and concern that was emanating from the crew. The crew tracked Ship to a remote, jungle-covered planetoid near the Maw, and Lady Rhea put together a strike team to recover it. The team was forced to make its way through carnivorous trees that thinned their numbers, but Lady Rhea demanded that they continue onward. Lord Xal was distrustful of Lady Rhea's motives on the mission, and even questioned the fact that the Sith under his command were not part of the advanced scouting missions. Lady Rhea explained that she was not going to worry about personal gains while trying to recapture Ship, and that she would gladly give credit where credit was due, so long as the strike team was ultimately successful in bringing Ship back to Kesh.
Their search of the planetoid revealed the existence of the Force presence known as Abeloth, but Lady Rhea wasted no time in explaining who she was and what the Sith were doing there. Abeloth seemed confused as to why Ship was on the planetoid, but did nothing to stop the Sith from tracking it. After establishing Ship's location, Lady Rhea set off to find it, but was caught in a whirlpool that formed beneath her when she tried to cross a wide river. The whirlpool had been created by siphon reeds, which used whirlpools to bring their prey within the grasp of their stalks. Vestara Khai managed to rescue Lady Rhea, but began to doubt that her Master's full concentration was on the mission. When Abeloth began to promise Lady Rhea great power when they returned to Kesh, Vestara had had enough. Drawing her parang, Vestara slapped Lady Rhea hard across the face, then demanded to know the answers to three questions before her Master could react. First, Vestara asked about the loss of every shuttle the Sith had brought with them aboard the Eternal Crusader, during the search for Ship. Next, she asked about the fact that every member of the ship's crew was now on the planetoid's surface, with no way to return. Lastly, Vestara asked Lady Rhea if, had she been in her right mind, she would have allowed their situation to become as bad as it was. Lady Rhea was forced to admit that Vestara was correct, but she warned her Apprentice not to overstep her bounds in the future.
Together, Lady Rhea and Vestara planned to have Ship shuttle the Sith back to the Eternal Crusader, then set off to locate and kill the Skywalkers. Although Lord Yuvar Xal endorsed Lady Rhea's plans, she remained unconvinced of his sincerity. Thus, when they located the Skywalkers on Sinkhole Station, Lady Rhea armed Xal and his Apprentice, Ahri Raas, with special grenades that would not explode. This ensured that, should Xal or Raas try to kill her, Lady Rhea would be guaranteed to make an escape. These preparations proved fortuitous when Xal launched his own plans to eliminate his rivals and capture the Skywalkers for himself. However, Vestara managed to kill Lord Xal, and Ahri Raas was slain by a lightsaber that cut him in half along the length of his spine. Vestara was briefly captured by Luke Skywalker, but managed to get free and rejoin Lady Rhea, and together they confronted the Jedi Grand Master. A flash of light from a firefight between Ben Skywalker, aboard the Jade Shadow, and Ship distracted Lady Rhea, which gave Luke the chance to decapitate Lady Rhea with his lightsaber.

Rhinann, Haninum Tyk
This male Elomin served as one of Darth Vader's personal aides, during the early months of the New Order. At eighty-nine years old, he was usually dressed in impeccable clothing, and his innate desire for neatness and order meant that Rhinann continually preened himself. His eye for detail made him something of an expert on various architectural styles, and he prided himself on being able to understand an alien species by observing its buildings and edifices.
Despite his position in the new Galactic Empire, Rhinann despised humankind, although he felt something akin to gratitude toward Vader, since it had been Vader who rescued him from slavery. He also remained with Vader because of his own fascination with the Force, an energy that Rhinann had no connection to at all. Most of all, however, Rhinann feared upsetting the Dark Lord, and lived on constant fear of failure. Thus, Rhinann found himself quite worried when Vader tasked him with locating Jax Pavan and bringing the Jedi Knight to the Imperial Palace. The scope of the task was daunting, because there were some 582,797,754 Corellians living on Coruscant with the name "Jax Pavan". However, Rhinann discovered that Jax had been seen in the company of Nick Rostu, so he set out to locate Rostu and use him to get to Pavan.
Capturing Rostu turned out to be relatively easy, thanks to the Drach Coven and the crew of the Far Ranger. Once they had delivered Rostu, Rhinann had the crew arrested and impounded their ship, which he turned over to Rostu after Vader convinced the man to locate Pavan. It was during this time that Rhinann indulged his own need to understand the Force better, and he stole a Sith Holocron from an Imperial storage facility. While keeping this a secret, Rhinann was able to track Rostu to the Factory District, where Vader set up a cordon in hopes of catching Pavan when he emerged. However, Pavan wanted no part of being captured, and he and his companions fought bravely against the Imperials. During the fight, Rhinann's escape shuttle was damaged, and he feared that he himself might not escape, especially after Pavan managed to elude Vader's grasp. Taking his chances, Rhinann abandoned the crew of the shuttle and set out to convince Pavan to take him with him.
Rhinann was surprised when Jax simply grabbed him and took him aboard the Far Ranger, since he was more worried about Darth Vader finding a way to scuttle their escape. After explaining his situation, Rhinann discovered that Jax was a former Jedi Knight, and he turned the Sith Holocron over to Jax, in the hope that it might help the man in his next confrontation with Darth Vader. Rhinann then explained the the droid 10-4TO never had any important data in its memory banks, much to the chagrin of Jax and his companions. He explained that the entire story about 10-4TO had been created to flush out Jedi, and specifically Jax Pavan. Rhinann decided to remain with the ragtag group of rebels that were part of the Whiplash organization, using his skills as a slicer and a gatherer to help them whenever possible. However, he became more and more depressed with his lot in life, and was often found alone at a computer terminal.
Unknown to his companions, however, Rhinann had begun his own search for power while they were busy saving other beings from persecution. He discovered data that indicated bota might be able to augment a being's ability to control the Force, after reading Barriss Offee's accounts of the events surrounding the Battle of Drongar. Rhinann then started linking I-5YQ to the strange series of events that had started with Lorn Pavan's mysterious death. Rhinann knew that I-5YQ had been on Drongar, and was now protecting Jax, and he put his mind and his skills to use in digging into the droid's history. He hoped that a complete picture of the droid's involvement, coupled with better knowledge of the powers of bota, would earn him enough power to warrant a position in the Empire, if not give him power over the Emperor himself. These searches alerted Rhinann to the existence of Probus Tesla, an Imperial Inquisitor who had been charged by Vader to locate I-5YQ. This knowledge was unsettling to Rhinann, because it meant that Vader knew where Jax and his comrades were operating.
The knowledge that Vader was closing in on them, coupled with the fact that the group's funding was coming almost exclusively from Dejah Duare, Rhinann began making plans to leave the group at a moment's notice, regardless of whether or not he had the bota in his possession. The sudden appearance of Kajin Savaros further unsettled Rhinann, who feared that the boy might be nothing more than a mole planted in their midst by Vader and the Inquisitorius. Rhinann made sure that every escape route was open to him, even the possibility of calling in a favor from Black Sun. Before he could put any plans in place to escape, however, Rhinann and his companions were shaken by the capture of Laranth Tarak and Kajin Savaros. Jax argued that he should be allowed to make a deal with Vader, exchanging the bota sample and possibly himself in exchange for Kaj and Laranth. Rhinann agreed to use his former Imperial connections to make contact with Vader, and he also began reworking his own plans to escape.
The meeting failed to follow the script Rhinann had hoped would unfold, as Vader quickly obtained the bota sample from Laranth Tarak and injected it into his system. The sudden connection to the Cosmic Force turned Vader into a living weapon that sent blasts of Force energy in every direction. Dejah Duare and Probus Tesla were killed, and I-5YQ was badly damaged, before Vader tried to wrap Jax and Kajin in ribbons of Force energy. Stripped of his only chance to experience the Force, Rhinann burst from his hiding place and attacked Vader, demanding retribution for the loss of the bota. He hoped to kill Vader, but only managed to knock the Dark Lord off-balance. Distracted by this attack, Vader released Jax and Kaj before grasping Rhinann. This series of actions left Vader unable to control his body, and both he and Rhinann fell from a window to the pavement below. Rhinann was crushed under Vader's body, giving him just a brief instant to understand the Force before he died.

Rhinnal
This planet, located in the Darpa Sector, emerged from an ice age more than ten thousand years before the Battle of Yavin. Much of the planet remained covered with glaciers and rivers of ice, which once spanned the entire world. Because Rhinnal had virtually no axial tilt, there was no change in seasons to help melt the ice. Rhinnal was first colopnized by travelers who were moving along the Perlemian Trade Route, during the early years of the Old Republic. Throughout much of its history, Rhinnal was controlled by the planetary government of Esseles. In the wake of the ice age, habitation of the planet continued, and it became known as a business education center. During the last years of the Old Republic, the Jedi Knights established and expanded a training and medical center on Rhinnal, near the city of Rhire. The fourth planet in the Rhinnal System, Rhinnal was orbited by a pair of moons. The average day on Rhinnal lasted 27 standard hours, while its year encompassed 357 local days.

Rho
This was one of the common designations used by the targetting computers installed on Imperial warships to identify a group of Imperial gunboats. Because most Imperial ships were mass-manufactured, their transponders codes were often little more than a group of letters and numbers. In order to distinguish these ships from enemy vessels during a battle, Imperial targetting computers assigned all gunboats in a given unit to a specific group, each with a specific designation. The third group discovered by the targetting computer was usually assigned to the Rho group, and the ships within that group were also given a numerical identifier, such as Rho 1. In situations where ships from two or more base ships were participating in a battle, the designation Rho was preceded by a character that was unique to the base ship.

This immense, green-skinned humanoid was the wealthy tibanna gas magnate who owned the planet Yorn Skot during the years prior to the Battle of Naboo. He made a fortune mining tibanna gas from Yorn Skot's atmosphere, but made quite a few enemies along the way to success. Among them was his own wife, who planned to murder him in order to claim his inheritance. Clode Rhoden ruled the planet Yorn Skot on his own terms, refusing to join any local government, let alone the Old Republic. This earned him the ire of the eco-terrorist group known as the Green Forge, who infiltrated Rhoden's operations by having Buck serve as Madam Rhoden's personal trainer. His wealth also made him a target of pressure pirates who worked the gas giants of the galaxy. Despite his seeming short-sightedness, Clode Rhoden was well aware of his wife's affair with Buck, and planned to use their own core bomb to destroy their escape pod, after the Aurorient Express was sabotaged. He then planned to alter the escape pod's trajectory to destroy his own Yorn Skot Mining Station, in order to blame its destruction on the Green Forge and claim the insurance payments. He also revealed to Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi that he was aware of the actions of the pressure pirates, and had managed to reprogram them for his own usage.

She was also unaware of her husband's knowledge of her affair with Buck. When Madam Rhoden and Buck were targetted for execution by Clode Rhoden, who planned to use Buck's core bomb to kill them both, Saul Moegantz offered to join forces with them to strike back at Clode. Madam Rhoden reluctantly agreed, seeing that a partnership with Moegantz was the lesser of several evils, including her own death. They planned to sue Clode for divorce, on the grounds that he tried to have her killed, then take all of Clode's wealth and split it between them.

Rhommamool
This planet orbitted its star in an ellipse that brought it very close to Osarian every ten years. An inhospitable world populated by the descendants of criminals exiled to work in the mines, Rhommamool appeared to be a large, red ball from space. Although there were many miners who lived on the planet voluntarily, the vast majority were forced to live their because of their criminal pasts. The planet's harsh, desert-like conditions were only highlighted by the proximity of Osarian, which was a pleasant, temperate planets. The natives of Osarian managed the mines on Rhommamool, keeping watch on the exiles and reaping the profits of their labors. Like Osarian, Rhommamool was not a technologically-advanced world when it petitioned the New Republic to mediate a centuries-old feud which had been refueled by Nom Anor. In fact, neither planet had developed space travel, and Rhommamool was decidedly ground-based. Nom Anor rallied the Rhommamoolians to declare their independence from Osarian rule, and to denounce the New Republic. He then fled the planet to join the Yuuzhan Vong attack force, hoping the Republic would focus on Rhommamool. As he left, he fired a series of missiles at the city of Osa-Prime, launching a full-scale war between the two planets.

Rhysode, Ganner
This headstrong, opinionated man was one of the Jedi Knights who trained under Luke Skywalker at the Yavin 4 praxeum. A native of the planet Teyr, Ganner was also one of the many student who believed Kyp Durron was correct in acting by himself, without the sanctioning of Master Skywalker, in dealing with criminals and other felons. Rhysode chafed at the idea of a structured Jedi Council which controlled the actions of all Jedi, feeling that it went against the rights of being a Jedi. Ganner was teamed up with Corran Horn during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, and the two were constantly at odds when they laid out their plans. Ganner believed that Corran's actions in bringing down the outlaws on Courkrus only validated Kyp Durron's actions, a fact that Corran quickly denied. Eventually, however, both came to see the other's point of view, and their relationship began to modify itself into one of grudging respect for each other. He built and used a lightsaber which had a sulfurous-yellow blade. When Corran and Ganner tried to rescue the slaves being held by the Yuuzhan Vong on Bimmiel, Ganner recovered as many as he could before fleeing the planet. However, he felt Corran's life-force ebb, and returned to the Yuuzhan Vong camp to find the Corran had been bitten by an amphistaff. He had already killed the Yuuzhan vong warrior, but was dying himself. Ganner rescued him and placed him in a bacta tank to recover, then returned to Yavin 4. Ganner's confidence took a major blow when he accompanied Corran and Jacen Solo to Garqi, after Corran had been reactivated by the Garqi militia. In their first confrontation with Krag Val and the Yuuzhan Vong, Ganner suffered a terrible blow from Krag Val. Val caught Ganner in the head with a full swipe of his gloved hand, tearing away much of Ganner's face. After Corran discovered that the pollen of the bafforr tree was deadly to the Vong's armor, he recovered Ganner and they fled to a New Republic medical vessel. Ganner recovered, but chose not to have cosmetic surgery. The scars would serve to remind him that he wasn't all-powerful, and that the Force could only be a strong ally if he gave himself to it fully. His defeat at the hands of Krag Val taught him humility more effectively than Luke's teachings or Corran's patient acceptance of his bravado. With his newfound understanding, Ganner set out on a personal mission: to locate Jacen Solo. Rumors of Jacen's appearance near Coruscant - after it had been captured by the Yuuzhan Vong - led him to seek out the former Jedi. He did so on his own, without backup, but feared that a cadre of Jedi Knights would jeopardize the mission. He nearly lost his life aboard a Yuuzhan Vong camp ship while hunting down a rumor, only to discover that the person he was to meet was Jacen himself. There was no celebration, however, as Jacen had apparently turned to the way of the Yuuzhan Vong. Ganner was to be sacrificed to the new World Brain which lived on Coruscant, now renamed Yuuzhan'tar. Further self-revelation followed as Ganner realized that his bravado and showmanship had amounted to nothing, but his will to live was rekindled when Jacen explained that he was not with the Yuuzhan Vong. Jacen was supposed to be the one to perform Ganner's sacrifice, but he used the opportunity to gain private access to the dhuryam World Brain. He gave Ganner the lightsaber which had belonged to Anakin Solo, and asked him to protect him as long as he could. Ganner agreed to help, knowing that there was no other outcome than their deaths. Ganner reached deeply into the Force, drawing on resources he didn't know he had, and single-handedly fought off several hundred Yuuzhan Vong warriors. However, their sheer numbers and use of stronger weapons eventually defeated Ganner. Ganner died valiantly, disappearing into the Force as he expired, knowing that he had given Jacen the time he needed to work with the dhuryam. With the effort, Ganner died knowing that he had finally become the hero he always believed himself to be. When Jacen hesitated to leave because of Ganner, Ganner projected the "Go!" into Jacen's mind, ensuring that their mission would end in success.

Riboga
This former Hutt crimelord was exiled from his homeworld some eighty years before the Battle of Naboo. He found his way to the Cularin System, where he found that illicit trade was flourishing but unregulated. Establishing himself at a base on Tolea Biqua, near the planet Genarius, Riboga formed the so-called Smuggler Confederation and set about organizing the crime in the system. However, the cost of maintaining the organization began to weigh on Riboga, and an increase in piracy began to eat into his profits. Riboga was more than willing to turn over control of the system to Nirama, his chief lieutenant, when he lost it to the unusual alien during a sabacc match. Riboga returned to Nal Hutta without any regrets, unaware that Nirama had manipulated events and accounts in order to force Riboga to leave. Years later, it was believed that Riboga began to manipulate events in the Cularin System to unseat Nirama and re-establish himself as the dominant crimelord in the system. Working with unseen spies and thieves, Riboga apparently was developing a series of discrediting documents and events to erode Nirama's standing.
(LFCW)
Riboga's Barge
This floating gambling hall was established from one of the repulsorlift transports left behind by Riboga the Hutt when he abdicated his control of the criminal underground of the Cularin System to Nirama. Riboga's Barge was actually created from the former crimelord's sail barge, and attached to the city of Tolea Biqua, floating in orbit around the planet Genarius. It was purchased by a pair of Trandoshans who hated the Hutts and thought it would be appropriate for them to purchase it. They converted the huge, open spaces in the barge into a variety of gaming rooms, and the bathing pool was modified to serve as an immense hottub. The breeding chamber, which was found to have been never used, was turned into a "museum of useless inventions," a name which applied to its contents and took a jab at Riboga's lack of offspring.

RIC-series Droid
This series of Serv-O-Droid labor automata was developed several centuries before the onset of the Clone Wars, and many of these units remained active for one hundred years or more. The RIC-series was distinguished by its unipod designed, and was propelled by a pair of disc-mounted treads that could move the droid across level ground at speeds reaching sixty-five kilometers and hour. A specialized, shock-absorbing chassis kept the main computer systems safe and secure. Also known as a rolo-droid, the RIC-series was roughly humanoid from the waist up, and was given rudimentary programming in order to allow it accomplish any number of tasks. The service history of the RIC-series was a lengthy description of all manner of chores, including players on a Serv-O-Droid nuna-ball team. Although Serv-O-Droid never intended for it, the RIC-series became known as rickshaw droids because they were used throughout the Rim Territories to pull small carts from one location to another, transporting beings much like a taxi driver. Note that this automaton was referred to as an ES-PSA droid in the novelization of Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones.

Ri'Dar
A batlike alien, infamous for their mass paranoia. They were native to the planet Dar'Or, and were about a meter tall. Their faces resemble those of bats, but with large red eyes and sloping foreheads. Their arms were actually wings, and have a span of up to three meters. Six fingers mark the primary joint on the arms, and they have six toes on each foot. Downy, brown fur covers their body. The Ri'dar have a communal society built around the inhabitance of the 200-meter-tall waza trees found on Dar'Or. A warren of Ri'dar families lives in a single tree, while a particular section of forest forms a Ri'Dar city. The original Ri'Dar were simply tree-dwelling mammals, and over time their wings evolved into flying apparatus. Young Ri'Dar were the favorite food of the sloth-like indola, and this probably helped accelerate the development of their wings. The Ri'Dar were considered primitive by the Empire, and were of little consideration when Imperial scientists relocated the elix species to Dar'Or. The avians quickly adapted to life on Dar'Or, and also found the Ri'Dar a tasy meal. The Empire then declared Dar'Or an Imperial Species Preservation Zone, not for the Ri'Dar but for the elix.

This man served as the shipping manager at the White Thranta shipping center on Tatooine, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. A former Imperial geneticist, Riddick turned traitor and decided that the best place to hide from the Empire would be somewhere in the Outer Rim. Unfortunately, he was discovered near Mos Eisley by one of the Imperial spies he had worked on during his career. This spy turned out to be former Navy Chief Bast, who had been altered to look like a Twi'lek. Bast wasted no time in killing Riddick for his treachery to the Empire.

Riders of the Maelstrom
This group of humanoid pirates lurked near the Maelstrom, and were under the command of Big Jak Targrim. They had a lucrative operation going, attacking ships that were forced to revert to sublight speeds to pass near the cloud of dust. When Rodin Higron won the planet Oasis - located within the Maelstrom - in a crooked sabacc match, the Riders suddenly found themselves with competition. To make matters worse, Higron's pirates only preyed on Imperial ships, and brought Imperial forces into the area. Targrim made a vow to stop Higron, and created a unusual plan to capture a large starship and crash it into Oasis. When he put the plan into motion, the Riders ended up capturing the Kuari Princess. They managed to lock out any control of the navigational system, and aimed the liner at the planet. Only the timely intervention of Alliance agents saved the Kuari Princess. Most of the Riders escaped.

Riding Lizard
This immense, lizard-like creature was bred by the Yuuzhan Vong as a form of transportion. An individual riding lizard measure over five meters in length, and could move across the ground at up to forty kilometers per hour. Each could carry a single warrior into battle, just as easily as it could move heavy cargo from place to place. However, these creatures were not bred specifically for combat, and often reacted in self-defense when forced into a battle situation. Nevertheless, the sharp hooves of the riding lizard's front feet could inflict great damage when used against an opponent.

This was the name used by the workers onboard Coruscant's Orbital Solar Energy Transfer Satellites (OSETS) to describe their tours of duty.
(CCW)
Riding the Stripe
This starfighter attack maneuver was originally attributed to the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic, and came into existence after the development of starship-based turbolasers. When riding the stripe, a Jedi pilot would literally fly along the pathway of a turbolaser blast, following it backward toward its source. In this way, the fighter's energy signature and emissions would be masked by the static and backwater from the turbolaser blast, rendering the fighter invisible to the opponent's sensors. This allowed the Jedi pilot to get their fighter inside a larger ship's primary defense, where the pilot could launch missiles or drop bombs on a relatively unprotected section of the ship.

Riduk
A native of the planet Malastare, this Dug was a noted swoop racer in the Cularin System, during the final years of the Old Republic. A competitve Dug, Riduk flew a modified JR-4 swoop during his career. Like many other Dugs, Riduk gauged his own success against that of the noted podracer, Sebulba, although Riduk rarely resorted to the underhanded tactics of his predecessor. That said, Riduk was not above giving his fellow racers a bump, in the heat of competition.

Rieekan, Carlist
A native of Alderaan, Rieekan was the Rebel General in charge of Echo Base on Hoth, just prior to the Battle of Hoth. He joined the Army of the Republic when he was 17, and returned to Alderaan for active duty. There, he became a secret member of the Alliance, and was assisting with the inspection of the satellite transmitters around Delaya when the Death Star moved into position near Alderaan. He knew that Tarkin had been secretly building the battle station, but felt that any transmission warning Alderaan about it would result in the Empire's knowledge of the security breech. He held off in warning Alderaan, but Tarkin destroyed the planet anyway. This single incident hardened Rieekan's resolve to never hesitate in battle, and to never let the Empire surprise him again. After fleeing Delaya with as many of the Alliance's personnel as possible, Rieekan continued to assist the Alliance as commander of Echo Base on Hoth. It was his foresight and planning that allowed the Alliance to escape from Hoth, once its location was discovered by one of Darth Vader's probe droids. Following the loss of Echo Base, Rieekan continued to assist the Alliance, as well as the New Republic, as a General in the armed forces. After Leia Organa-Solo was chosen as the Republic's Chief of State, Rieekan accepted a promotion to Minister of State. He later became the head of New Republic intelligence before retiring. Unfortunately, Rieekan was called out of retirement during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, to act as the commander of Coruscant's Planetary Defense Force.

This collection of historical recordings and artifacts was established by Carlist Rieekan, as a kind of museum dedicated to depicting what life was really like during the New Order and the Galactic Civil War. Much of what the galaxy knew about the planet Hoth and its surrounding system came from the Rieekan Historical Collection, due to General Rieekan's extensive investigation into Hoth's suitability for an Alliance base.

Riemann, Gayla
A native of the planet Aldraig IV, this woman joined the Alliance shortly after being forced to go into hiding on her homeworld. An artist of some renown, Gayla had studied with some of the Empire's greatest talents during her education. However, she chafed at the snobbish, elitist world in which artists lived during the reign of Emperor Palpatine, and returned to her homeworld to find some peace and joy in her life. She returned to find an Imperial AT-AT production facility in full operation, and a TIE Fighter hull assembly plant under construction. Hating to see what was happening to her homeworld, Gayla began selling her artwork in order to buy weapons for the fledgling underground. She was incarcerated by Governor Talloryn for "agitation," and ordered to paint a series of pictures of the construction of the TIE Fighter hull plant as punishment. However, Gayla gained access to the plant by claiming it was "research" for the pictures, and managed to commit the floorplans of the plant to memory. She later transferred the floorplans to her underground friends, who succeeded in destroying it. The rebels also smuggled Gayla off-planet, fearing that Talloryn would figure out her part in the attack, and she eventually joined the Alliance. She proved to be an excellent starfighter pilot, dedicated to wiping out the Empire , and eventually joined Rogue Squadron. She attributed her skills as a pilot to the fact that she viewed space combat as an artform, and to her hatred of the Empire.

This Sullustan was one of the many designers who worked on the Incom Industries I-7 Howlrunner. He was also one of the few designers who were retained by the Empire when Incom was nationalized. When Colonel Garr took command of the Fresia installation, Riun Riev was assigned to "clean up Incom's image" after a series of engineers defected with the plans to the T-65 X-Wing starfighter. He worked hard to accomplish this task, more out of fear of failing than any desire to achieve the goal. He secretly hoped that a team of Alliance agents would arrive on Fresia and liberate them from the Empire.

Rifi
This species of game fish was popular with adventurous tourists who visited the water-covered world of Dorumaa. Because rifi preferred deeper water, fishing for them was sometimes a dangerous proposition, since ships had to travel into the more remote parts of the ocean to find them. This meant that rifi fishermen often encountered some of the larger aquatic predators found in the oceans.

Rifle Worlds
This section of the Hapes Cluster was settled during the Cluster's industrial period. Much of the Cluster's manufacturing took place on the worlds of this region. The worlds of the interior regions of the Cluster regarded these planets as second-class worlds, which the settlers deeply resented. The area gets its name from the fact that these worlds once tried to secede from the Cluster in protest of their second-class treatment.

Riflor
This planet, the second world in the Riflorii System of the Mid Rim, was the homeworld of the Advozsec race. It had a thick, deep atmosphere which was laden with volcanic ash. The airborne ash diffused the natural light of the three Riflorii suns, causing native species to develop specialize vision. Riflor was geologically unstable, and was constantly being stressed as it orbited through its trinary star system. Additionally, Riflor was orbitted by three moons, adding tidal stress to volcanic activity. The filtered sunlight dropped the average temperature on Riflor despite its proximity to its suns, a situation that forced the Advozsec and other species to live near geothermal rifts. This proved potentially dangerous, since frequent earthquakes cause large amounts of damage. However, the Advozsec found ways to survive for millennia, until the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion of the galaxy. The Yuuzhan Vong unleashed a bio-virus that killed the planet's plantlife, starving millions of Advozsec to death. Only those Advozsec who were offworld at the time, as well as the Bomminde fammily of Tejrivozs, managed to survive.

Rift Disaster
This was the name given to the explosions which destroyed all but one of the ancient Kathol launch gates. In the struggle between the ancient Jedi Knights and the Dark Jedi who had enslaved the Kathol, the launch gates were destroyed, ripping the hyperspace continuum in Kathol Sector. The result was twofold: the creation of the Kathol Rift and the entrenchment of Dark Side energy in the Sector.

Rift Mutation
Known to the Empire as the Variant, this bacteria was found in the Kathol Rift. The Mutation was known to do one thing: eat. Once it ran out of food, the bacteria would burn out and die. The Q'Maere Research Facility was almost wiped out by the Mutation, until the bacteria ran out of food when the facility did. This killed off the bacteria, and gave the scientists at the facility a chance to begin growing their own crops. However, they knew that another ship traveling through the Rift would bring the bacteria back. Doctor Vin Emil developed a strain of the bacteria known as Variant Alpha, which would live longer if it didn't eat so much. It was released within the facility, where it bred with the natural form of the bacteria and bred the desire to continually eat out of its genetic makeup.

Right of Denial
By the laws of the Jedi Order of the Old Republic, any Jedi Knight or Master could invoke the Right of Denial in order to sit out - or protest - any given assignment. The Right of Denial was considered almost unspeakable by the members of the Jedi Order, who had also sworn to uphold peace and justice throughout the galaxy. However, when the Clone Wars broke out across the galaxy, many Jedi chose to invoke the Right of Denial - most notably, the Jedi Knights and Masters of the Almas Academy - in protest of the increasingly military operation of the Jedi Order. The Right of Denial was invoked when a Jedi sent his or her lightsaber back to Coruscant, in protest of their orders. The Right of Denial was not a formal denunciation of the Jedi Order, so any Jedi who invoked it was considered still a member of the Order. However, they were not afforded any rights or privileges normally afforded to members of the Order, and they were officially stripped of any legal authority that came with membership.

Right to Rule
This was one of the main Imperial-class Star Destroyers serving the Imperial Remnant under the command of Grand Admiral Pellaeon, during the early years of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was also one of the oldest ships in the remaining Imperial fleet, and was under the captaincy of Commander Ansween. It was aboard the Right to Rule, during the Imperial defense of Borosk, that Jacen Solo arranged to have known Yuuzhan Vong and Peace Brigade infiltrators stationed. This allowed Jacen and the Imperial to confront their enemies and isolate or eliminate them as necessary. The Right to Rule continued to pursue the Yuuzhan Vong, eventually locating the small force which was dispatched to destroy the New Republic communications base on Esfandia.

They believed that the original inhabitants of a given planet, if they were sentient and could make decisions for themselves, should have equal representation in their planetary government. If the original inhabitants were in the majority, then their decision was valid for the entire planet. In some circles, this party was known as the Rights of Sentience League.

Rigo
This alien bounty hunter was the leader of the gang that cornered Obi-Wan Kenobi and the clone trooper known as Alpha on Riflor, during the height of the Clone Wars. Distinguished by his canine snout and eyes that sat atop short stalks, Rigo was a powerful individual. Obi-Wan and Alpha had just escaped from Asajj Ventress' fortress on Rattatak, and their ship had crashed on Riflor. Rigo chose to kill them, rather than capturing them alive, since it was the safest route to collecting the bounty. Unfortunately, the Jedi and the clone were more than a match for Rigo's gang, especially after Anakin Skywalker and Ki-Adi-Mundi arrived to help the escape. Like his comrades, Rigo was killed in the firefight.

Rihkxyrk Attack Ship
This heavy starfighter was developed for Black Sun by TransGalMeg, during the early years of the New Order. The Rihkxyrk was noted for its incredibly heavy-duty armor plating, which gave it a huge advantage in combat. This plating added substantially to its weight, but the sluggish nature of the Rihkxyrk was offset by its weaponry. The ship had a long, needle-shaped central fuselage that was supported on either side by two pairs of sloped wings. The wings on each side were connected for stability by a pair thick rods, and a pair of flaps at the rear of the ship gave it maneuverability.

Riileb
A race of tall, gray-skinned bipeds native to the planet Riileb, the Riileb were distinguished by their long, thin limbs, knobby hides, and pink eyes. The average Riileb individual had four nostrils, two for inhalation and two for exhalation, and a pair of insectoid antennae atop their heads. These antennea were polygraphic remnants from their insectoid ancestors, and could be used to detect the moods and biorhythms of other beings. All males, but only married females, were allowed to grow hair on their heads. As a people, Riilebs maintained strong clan relationships, with the females being regarded as the leaders. The Motherclan served as the ruling body of Riileb, and the leader of the Motherclan was deemed the Holder of the Clan Ring. The Riileb were first encountered by a group of Nimbanese scouts who reported their existence to Velrugha the Hutt. The Riileb resisted every assault Velrugha launched at them, and the Hutts eventually left them alone.

Riina Kwaad
This was the name given to Tahiri Veila by the Yuuzhan Vong Mezhan Kwaad, during her attempt to twist Tahiri's memories and create a living bridge between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Jedi Knights. After Tahiri was rescued by the Anakin Solo from Yavin 4 and given a chance to recover, the personality that was Riina remained deep in her subconscious. It began to reassert itself when Tahiri encountered something that was imbued with the Yuuzhan Vong spirit, such as a pendant of Yun-Yammka she found on Galantos. When this happened, Tahiri was plunged into a deep state of unconsciousness, where Riina took control of her mind and tortured her. After several blackout incidents on the planet Bakura, Jaina Solo discovered that the Riina Kwaad personality inside Tahiri's mind still existed, and was rebelling at the possibility that it might be cast out of Tahiri. The blackouts she was experiencing were Riina's attempts to cast out Tahiri's own personality. Riina would have been fully eliminated if Tahiri hadn’t experienced the death of Anakin Solo, which triggered doubts within Tahiri's mind. The Republic's victory at the Battle of Ebaq then reinforced the belief that the Republic was winning the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, and Riina began asserting herself more fully in order to avoid complete extinction. Further investigation into the Tahiri/Riina relationship revealed that it had been Riina, not Tahiri, who created a Force bubble to protect Tahiri from the bomb set on Bakura by Blaine Harris. This pointed to a much deeper melding of the two personalities than was first believed. Within Tahiri's mind, the two personalities struggled for control, before both came to the realization that they had to unite in order to survive: if one were killed, the other would die as well. In the end, the two agreed to meld into a single individual. Tahiri's peace was brief, for asfter she agreed to accompany Nen Yim and the Prophet Yu'shaa to Zonama Sekot, she discovered that the Riina Kwaad personality had ben created from the memories of Nen Yim herself.

Rikel
This Corellian man fell in love with a woman who was not well-liked by his family. He, in turn, was despised by her family, so they decided to elope and get married without telling anyone. Unfortunately, his wife was on Coruscant when the Corellia-GA War broke out, and she was rounded up in one of the early Galactic Alliance Guard terrorist sweeps. Rikel never saw her alive, but was able to identify her body when it was returned to Corellia. Her death caused him to become mentally unstable, and instilled in him a growing hatred of the Galactic Alliance and the people of the planet Coruscant.
In his anger, Rikel adopted the nickname Vibro, and set out to do what he could to help get Centerpoint Station operative again. He hoped that the Corellian government would use the weapon against the Galactic Alliance, and therefore avenge his wife's death. Thus, he was on duty when Sadras Koyan arrived on the station, with plans to threaten Cha Niathal and the leaders of the Galactic Alliance with the possibility of firing the weapon at Coruscant. Rikel supported this plan, and was somewhat dismayed when Koyan tried to flee the station, although it gave him the necessary spark to begin setting up to fire the repulsor himself. Without anyone to stop him, he fired the repulsor, which further overloaded the Glowpoint, which had been sabotaged by Doctor Toval Seyah. The power source overloaded and exploded, destroying the station and killing everyone onboard.

Rikkar-Du
This male Codru-Ji was the leader of his clan, during the years following the Sith-Imperial War. He met his future wife, Tassa, when her clan kidnapped him as a youth. Over time, they fell in love and were married, all but uniting their two clans. Because Tassa's father was also a clan chief, Rikkar-Du held a considerable amount of power. However, he chose not to overstep his authority, which earned him the respect of his clan and many others.
For reasons unknown to him, Rikkar-Du was approached by Darth Kruhl, some seven years after the Massacre at Ossus, and offered a deal. The Sith wanted to construct an Imperial base on Munto Codru, and offered Rikkar-Du the chance to command all the Cordu-Ji clans in exchange for his help. After the meeting, Rikkar-Du explained what had happened to the other clan leaders, but called for them to unite against the Sith and the Imperials.
Bo-Attal opposed this plan, since Rikkar-Du would still lead the united clans. Rikkar-Du offered the other clan leaders the opportunity to assume leadership, warning that anything less than complete solidarity would result in the enslavement of the Codru-Ji people. Kassek-Ka questioned the possibility that, by openly opposing the Sith and the New Empire, the Codru-Ji would lose their identity and culture. Rikkar-Du responded by saying that, if the Empire enslaved the Codru-Ji, then they would lose their culture anyway. Although he received no support initially, he allowed the other leaders to return to their clans and think the matter over.
After leaving the meeting, Rikkar-Du was approached by Darth Kruhl, who had overheard much of the discussion. Rather than letting Rikkar-Du have a chance to rally the other clan leaders, Darth Kruhl attacked him with his lightsaber. Rikkar-Du might have died instantly, had not his immature son, Jassar, intervened. However, the youth was no match for the Sith Lord, who cut them both and left them for dead.

This multilegged crustacean was native to the hiakk tree canopies of the planet New Plympto. Similar in appearance to a crablike spider, the rikknit was noted for its eggs, which were a staple in the diet of the Nosaurians, but were also a vital ingredient in many intoxicants. Individual rikknits create large webs, which trapped the birds and insects that made up the rikknit's diet. During the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum tried to make the rikknit a protected species, hoping to stop the flow of ji rikknit and other drugs from New Plympto. When the Old Republic passed legislation that banned the sale of rikknit eggs, the economy of New Plympto was thrown into shambles. The Nosaurians believed that they had been promised trade concessions, only to find themselves unable to sell their eggs. Shortly afterward, the Separatists arrived on New Plympto and offered to buy the rikknit eggs, as well as offering the Nosaurians membership in the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

A female Firrerreo, she fell in love with Hethrir when he was rising to leadership on Firrerre. They both became noticed by Darth Vader for their Force sensitivity, and both trained under Vader to become Jedi Knights. Her special ability to heal with the Force set her at odds with Vader's ideals. Like Hethrir, Rillao's final challenge was to construct a lightsaber which could only be activated by using the Force to complete certain circuits. When she learned that she was pregnant, she was very happy until she learned that Vader and Hethrir were hoping for a Force-sensitive child to carry on the Dark Lord's evil mission. This angered Rillao, and she broke off her training after seeing her son, Tigris, safely aboard a colony ship. Her actions led her to be cast out of Vader's plans, and when the Empire destroyed Firrerre, she was forced to hide out wherever she could. Hethrir eventually hunted her down, and placed on one of the colony ships as he took Tigris with his as a personal slave. There Rillao remained, unable to do anything, until Princess Leia and Chewie discovered the stranded colony ships while trailing Hethrir. Leia woke Rillao, who grudgingly agreed to help Leia take out Hethrir. When they had succeeded in removing Hethrir's threat from the galaxy, Rillao took Tigris and set out to recover the boy's mind from the punishment was had received under Hethrir's rule.

Rime Feeorin
This wa the ancient code by which the ancient Feeorin population of Odryn lived their lives. The Rime Feeorin described the various tenet and laws that influenced Feeorin society, and served to protect their native lands from outsiders. One of the primary laws was the sanctity of their holy places, such as the Sanctum of the Exalted, which was never to be opened to any being except the Exalted himself. If the Exalted appointed a representative or agent, they would also be allowed to enter the Sanctum, but would be forever bound by the laws of the Rime Feeorin, regardless of their origins. The only way this law could be revoked was if the Sanctum itself were ever destroyed. Another of the Rime's laws stated that any direct challenge between Feeorins had to be resolved with unarmed combat, pitting individuals against ecah other with only their naturals strengths and abilities.
Adherence to the Rime Feeorin was fundamental until Feln left Odryn to join the Jedi Order. He disregared the Rime Feeorin by usurping control of the Sanctum of the Exalted, turning it into a storehouse for the Sith artifacts that were collected by The Covenant. Feln allowed other Jedi, specifically the members of The Covenant and their Shadow Agents, to enter the Sanctum whenever they discovered a new artifact. Borjak and other Feeorin elders resented Feln's flouting of the Rime Feeorin, but they remained loyal to him because of his position as the Exalted. Still, when Feln returned to Odryn and discovered that Zayne Carrick had entered the Sanctum of the Exalted, Borjak immediately invoked the Rime Feeorin, forcing Feln to abide by its laws or abdicate his position as Exalted.

This alien was one of Tatooine's best pod racers, although he invariably lost races to Sebulba. Rimkar's pod racer was unique among the pods, having a bubble shape instead of something more streamlined.

However, on a preliminary podrace leading up to the Boonta Eve spectacular, Rimkar failed to properly compensate for the demands of Metta Drop, and destroyed his pod. Note that the Star Wars: Episode I Insider's Guide claims Rimkar was killed when Sebulba forced him to crash into the face of a cliff.

Anchored by the planet Rimma, this hyperspace pathway connected the Core Worlds with the Colonies as well as the Outer Rim Territories and continued into Kathol Sector. The Rimma Trade Route was discovered some 5,500 years before the Galactic Civil War, during the Manderon Period of the Old Republic. It remained open for centuries until it was blockaded by Sith forces during the Great Galactic War, and only the efforts of the Smuggling Contingency finally broke the blockade. During the height of the Clone Wars, Separatist forces planned to litter the route with proximity mines, hoping to cut off travel for the the Old Republic. The plan was thwarted when the Metrobig Interplanetary Blastport on Skor II was liberated by Jedi Master Mace Windu. Still, the entire Rimward leg of the Rimma Trade Route had eventually been cut off from Republic shipping concerns, after planets long that portion of the route joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

The only reason it was at the battle in the first place was because Rimsen had learned that Leia Organa Solo had petitioned Agamar for help when the New Republin turned a blind eye to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Rimsen ignored his patrol orders and flew to Dantooine, saving the refugees from almost certain destruction.

(MBS)
Rimsoo Seven
This was one of many Republic Mobile Surgical Units that were established behind the battlefields of the planet Drongar during the Clone Wars. The facility was attacked during the height of the Jasserak Engagement, an action that went against most accepted military conventions. Up until that point, neither side had purposely attacked the other's medical facilities, in an effort to preserve life wherever possible. However, Rimsoo Seven was overrun in short order, leading to the deaths of many patients and at least one doctor, Zan Yant. The facility was eventually relocated eighty kilometers southeast of its previous position.

Rin, Nei
This female Yuuzhan Vong led a small group of warriors who dedicated their lives to protecting the legacy of the Jedi Knights on the planet Ossus, in the wake of the Sith-Imperial War and the Massacre at Ossus. During the years prior to the massacre, Nei Rin had served as the lead Shaper on the Ossus Project, working to make Kol Skywalker's dream of terraforming damaged worlds into a reality. Like Master Skywalker, Nei Rin was at a loss to explain what was happening when the Ossus Project started to go awry. During the time that she and her fellow Shapers returned to Zonama Sekot to investigate, the new Sith launched their attack on Ossus, all but wiping out the Jedi. When Zonama Sekot fled the galaxy in the wake of the Sith-Imperial War, the Yuuzhan Vong lost their hope of finding a cure.
Nei Rin and the warriors who were protecting her were not stranded on Ossus, but decided to remain there in order to preserve the Jedi legacy. After giving Kol Skywalker a proper funeral, they dedicated themselves to discovering what had gone wrong with the Ossus Project. Nei Rin was unable to reproduce any of the mutations that occurred on damaged planets, and came to believe that the gods were tormenting her. After Darth Krayt and the Sith took control of the galaxy, Nei Rin realized that they had been the cause of the mutations. Years of work in the secrecy of the old Jedi Temple failed to bring any further insights.
Then, about seven years after the Massacre at Ossus, Nei Rin was surprised to find a group of Jedi entering the caverns where the Yuuzhan Vong had been keeping the artifacts and lore that they had recovered. Among the Jedi was Cade Skywalker, and Nei Rin believed that the time had finally come to turn the legacy over to the Jedi. The fact that Cade was the son of Kol Skywalker only served to bring her to the realization that Cade was to be the focal point of the Jedi's revival, which made it all the harder for her to understand Cade's vehement reluctance to help restore the Jedi Order.
When Cade set out to rescue Hosk Trey'lis, Nei Rin accepted his pronouncement that Master K'kruhk should protect the Jedi legacy. She also gave him the lightsaber that had once been his father's. She had replaced the focusing crystal with a lambent crystal she herself had shaped, after the original had been badly charred in the massacre.

Rin, Obo
This staunch Imperial supporter worked for Darth Vader himself as a sentientologist, collecting information on the galaxy's many intelligent, non-human races. Rin also developed a "universal definition of life" for use in identifying the difference between living and nonliving creatures. While his work helped expand the information known about many unusual races, Rin's intensely pro-human stance led to several incorrect theories about several species. He made a number of harmless species out to be cold-blooded killers, including the Proteans and Ugors. He also made vocal claims that the planet Mon Calamari had first been discovered by Imperial scouts, which contradicted decades of Old Republic history.

Rin Assid Bulk Hauler
This starship design was created by the legendary Rin Assid, and was produced by Eobaam Shipping Lines during the last millennium of the Old Republic. This vessel measured 350 meters in length. It was manned by a crew of 15, and could accommodate ten passengers. The design of the craft was over 700 years old at the time of the New Order, and could accommodate up to 100,000 metric tons of cargo. The navicomputer could handle up to four unique jump coordinates. The bulk hauler had minimal shields, and was not armed. Many of these transports were used by the Corporate Sector Authority, which acquired a number of older starship designs and put them to use in its growing Picket Fleet.

Ring Lake
Located near the High Castle on Jomark, this natural lake was formed in the crater of the ancient volcano housing the High Castle. The castle itself was situated nearly 400 meters above Ring Lake, affording a spectacular view of its brilliant, blue waters. It was named because the waters of the lake surrounded a single island, creating a ring of water in the crater. This small island served as the base of operations for Grand Admiral Thrawn's Imperial forces, sent to Jomark to protect Joruus C'Baoth during his attempt to capture Luke Skywalker, some five years after the Battle of Endor.

(BH)
Ringed Moon Shadowmoth
This species of moth was native to the planet Coruscant. It was noted for its incredibly beautiful wingsong, a form of music created when the moth beat its wings in the night skies. Shadowmoths were nocturnal, so beings who wanted to hear their song had to wait up for it. What was unusual about the shadowmoth was its silicate-based cocoon. This cocoon was incredibly tough, and was seemingly too strong for the larval shadowmoth to break through. However, each infant moth was equipped with a speciallized beak with which to crack the cocoon. In the struggle to break free, the shadowmoth's own body was strengthened, so that it could survive once it had evolved into a moth. Many beings felt that the cocoon was too strong, and often assisted the shadowmoth in getting free. While the intentions of these individuals were good, the shadowmoth was not forced to break free on its own, an activity which strengthened its wings and developed a stronger body. Because they could not fly, these shadowmoths often died because it was unable to survive.
(T)
Ringer
Ringer was a sport popular on the planet Stassia during the Imperial occupation of the planet. Entire tournaments were set up for it, culminating in the week-long Sweepstakes each year. All participants, known as tossers, were required to use the same equipment: small metallic disks which could be thrown through the air. Each contestant stood behind a line, facing an open area filled with rings. Each ring was different: some were held in place, while others swayed on lines or floated on tiny repulsors. The goal for each player was to toss their disk through as many rings as they could, gauging the direction and force of each throw to pass through the maximum number of rings. Among the rings was the Ace Ring, which was worth more points than the others, and could help a tosser quickly gain points. It was difficult at best, though, to put a disk through the Ace.
(SWJ6)
Ringneldia II
This planet, the second world in the Ringneldia System, was the manufacturing center of the Centrality. The natives of the planet were known to have developed a measuring system that was based on the sizes of its indigenous legumes.

Rini
This thin-bodied Skrilling was one of the miners who worked for the Banvhar Combine during the final years of the Old Republic. He was also a slicer, although he was the first to admit that his skills were often inadequate to break the more modern encryptions. When General Grievous attacked the asteroid mining operations of the Combine, Rini and his team were able to steal three Trade Federation probe droids, which he was able to reconfigure for his own needs. These droids were later placed at the disposal of Flynn Kybo, during the yougn Jedi's search for Grievous.

Rinn, Denglass
This man was installed as the Imperial Prefect of Kallistas simply because he couldn't cause any harm to the Empire there. He was a paranoid man who suffered from a series of delusions, many of which he developed to explain his slow progress up the Imperial power ladder. He maintained a set of long, jet black mustachioes and beard. He chafed at the preceived "lack of respect" he received from Governor Linrec, and was openly defiant about many trivial matters. He plotted with the Mantis Bounty Hunter Syndicate and a minor Imperial official on Revkinn to destroy Linrec's career, hoping to take over Kallistas for himself and reaping the profits from the sales of gemstones and radioactive isotopes. Rinn began importing weapons, with the help of Tarquin Zian, and started stockpiling the isotopes in order to manufacture bombs. After arranging for the capture of Pallas Quintell, and upon hearing of Cressis Linrec's plans to marry Jondrell Inx, Rinn offered a bounty for Inx's capture. The bounty hunters nearly captured the pirate, but had to settle for returning Cressis to her father. Unfortunately for Rinn, the bounty hunters also discovered Rinn's plans to unseat Governor Linrec. He fled the planet, and went into hiding somewhere in the Outer Rim.

She became enamored of Han when he saved them from the brigands, but Han knew he could never return her affections. In order to escape this sticky situation, Han arranged to have Prince Gil kidnapped by other brigands, so that King Cleroff could pay his ransom and make Gil's family indebted to him. In this way, Cleroff could demand Gil's marriage to Princess Risa as recompense. Risa's reaction was exactly what Han had hoped for: she called him all manner of names and demanded that he get Prince Gil back unharmed. Han's plans were nearly thwarted by Marius, but Han had anticipated his treachery and outwitted him.

Rise of the Empire
This was the term used by many historians of the New Republic and the Galactic Alliance to describe the period of years that led up to the Clone Wars and the establishment of the Galactic Empire. The exact dating of this period in galactic history was open to interpretation, although most beings agreed that the idea of the Empire started with the plans of Darth Sidious and his Master, Darth Plageuis. It was Darth Sidious, in the guide of Senator Palpatine of Naboo, who orchestrated the events that led up to the Battle of Naboo and the later struggles of the Clone Wars. Sidious used his skills as a diplomat to win favor in the Galactic Senate, then twisted his alliances to his own ends. Many believed that Sidious set behind most, if not all, of the events that led up to the Clone Wars, especially the destruction of the Jedi Order and the Jedi Purge that followed. With the Jedi eliminated and the Republic in need of direction, Sidious stepped in and assumed the title of Emperor, and established the first Galactic Empire from the ashes of the Republic.

Rishi
The third world orbiting the star Rish, Rishi was the backwater world where Talon Kaarde tried to hide from the Empire following the discovery and infiltration of his base on Myrkr. It was the homeworld of the Rishii, and was known as the base for the religious sect called the H'kig. The native Rishii allowed offworlders to visit the planet, so long as they didn't break the religious laws. Of the habitable land found on Rishi, much of it was swampland that had to be drained in order to provide a stable building platform. Over time, this created large sinkholes, and the colonists who settled the planet were forced to relocate their homes inside these sinkholes. The rest of the planet was carved by deep canyons. Rishi's crust had a few marketble metal ores which were mined by the native humans. The planet had an orbit of about 268 local days, each of which lasted 20 standard hours. It was orbited by a single moon, which served as the location of a Galactic Republic staging base during the Clone Wars. Note that the decoded version of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, episode 5, indicates that Rishi was the name of this moon.

Rishi Corn
This grain crop was grown and harvested on the planet Rishi. The edible kernels of corn were actually unfertilized seeds that grew in thick clusters that were connected to an inedible cellulose matrix.

Although many beings who first hear of this name come to think of the Rishi Maze as a remote trade route that was located beyond the Outer Rim Territories, in reality the Rishi Maze was a irregular dwarf galaxy that was completely contained within the known galaxy. The Rishi Maze was gravitationally locked in place, and the multitude of stars and planets caused all manner of trouble for hyperspace travel in the area. Thus, the name Rishi Maze came about, because any hyperspace routes through the Maze were incredibly snarled.

These hands were also used to wield primitive slings while hunting. They prefer to live in nests located in the tallest trees and on mountains, and have a great capacity to learn languages. The Rishii considered the offworlder who settled on their planet to be curiosities, not understanding their need to live in the lowlands. The Rishii were very interested in the "shiny rocks" used by the settlers - their spaceships - because they allowed species without natural wings to fly.

Rishyk
This burly Imperial officer served under Commander D'vox aboard Bannistar Station, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. Rishyk was distihguished by his long, red hair and beard, which seemed unkempt against his otherwise neat uniform. Rishyk was in command of the stormtrooper units that made up Bannistar Station's primary security forces, and it was his men who discovered the rebel attack on the station that was led by Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa. Although he was able to bring Skywalker and the Princess to the main control center for interrogation, Rishyk and his men were unable to apprehend Deena Shan. Rishyk himself set off in search of the rebel, and found her at the control center for the station's cooling systems. Believing her to be nothing more than a timid girl, Rishyk tried to have his way with her. When Deena resisted, he flung her against a wall and then taunted her, unaware that she had picked up a shard of broken glass. Deena jammed the glass into Rishyk's knee, then used a thermal detonator to destroy most of Rishyk's stormtrooper squad. She then fled onto a gantry above the refueling dock that was occupied by the Certainty, where Rishyk believed that he had finally defeated her. Rishyk was unprepared for Shan's next action, when she drew out her final thermal detonator and dropped it into the fuel line that was filling the Certainty's fuel cells. Rishyk tried to escape, but Shan managed to kick him off the edge of the gantry. As Rishyk fell, the device detonated within the fuel cell, setting off a massive explosion that tore the Certainty apart. Rishyk perished in the flames as the fireball consumed a large section of the station.

This Wookiee female and her son, Chywarra, lived in the village of Kiirloor, on Cularin, during the final years of the Old Republic. Mother and son were captured by the evil Tarasin known as Xinishia, shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars, when Xinishia began her bid for power over the Wyrd. Chywarra had been captured first, and Risstenni was captured while trying to find him. Before a rescue attempt could be made, Risstenni was killed by Xinishia and "fed" to a Dark Side artifact that gave the Tarasin increased power and control over the Force. When a group of freelance agents did managed to track down Xinishia, Risstenni was able to appear to them as a Force spirit. She explained what Xinishia had done, and implored them to rescue her son. Risstenni's spirit went so far as to hold off other Dark Side spirits to allow the agents to locate Xinishia. Chywarra was eventually rescued, although the agents were forced to return to Kiirloor and convince Barrarrao to relocate the settlement in exchange for his return. When Chywarra was discovered to have a latent sensitivity to the Force, Risstenni's spirit accompanied him to Almas for testing.

Rite of Commencement
This was the name of the Sith ritual used to trap the cognitive matrix of a holocron inside a capstone, preventing the matrix from degrading while the rest of the holocron is completed. Because the final steps in the construction process could take weeks or months to complete, some technique was needed to keep the cognitive matrix of the holocron from degrading, a process that could occur quite rapidly. Once the matrix was reached a certain point of decay, it could no longer support the crystalline structure of the holocron, and the entire device crumbled into a powdery dusty. By placing the capstone on the holocron and invoking the Rite of Commencement, a Sith Lord ensured that the matrix was contained in the holocron's crystals.

Rite of the Retribution
This was one of the primary laws of the Society of the Black Bha'lir. In the event of a member of the Society deceiving or dishonoring its brotherhood, that member was bound by their oaths to accede to the Rite of Retribution. In this ritual, a tribunal convened to mete out punishment, and the offending being was bound by their oath to accept the punishment, be it expulsion or execution. Those members of the Black Bha'lir who personally hunted out and eliminated violators of the Society's laws were considered "bloodied," and were held in high esteem.
(BSS)
Riten, Atour
This man spent forty years working at the Library Galactica before being recruited to manage the information respositories that were contained within the first Death Star. Having apprenticed at the Baobab Archives and having worked at the Dorismus Athenaeum and the Holorepository, Riten was known as much for his skills as an archivist as for his strong convictions and opinions, which shared with other beings whether they wanted to hear them or not. He survived within the Imperial regime by ensuring that he knew everything he could about the people he angered, using the sordid details about their past as a lever to keep his freedom. He also rigged a dead-man switch to his own existence, so that any being who had him killed would trigger a massive exposing of personal data on beings from across the galaxy.
He had little regard for the galactic government, believing that the best government was the one that governed the least. However, his views and opinions were hard to dismiss. In order to keep him out of the public eye, Riten's Imperial superiors had him promoted to Commander and shipped off to the Death Star. There, he learned that he was under surveillance when the librarian droid P-RC3 was placed at his disposal. Rather than submit to Imperial scrutiny, Riten altered the droid's programming to that it would only report that he had been a loyal servant of the Empire. Any further investigation would cause the droid to destroy its firmware and erase any trace of his tampering.
His apolitical views were suddenly rearranged when the Empire tested the Death Star's superlaser on the planet Despayre. He could not comprehend how the Empire could simply destroy a planet, and he turned to alcohol to help numb his mind of the event. His unease with the Empire only grew in the wake of the destruction of the planet Alderaan. Disgusted with the Empire, Riten charged P-RC3 with scouring the plans for the Death Star in search of a weakness. During its investigation, P-RC3 discovered the presence of Han Solo and Luke Skywalker in a hangar bay command office. Riten managed to listen in on their plans, and decided to help them by sending the proper access codes to the lift tube they took to entry Detention Block AA-23, when they set out to rescue Princess Leia Organa.
In a chance meeting at the Hard Heart Cantina, Riten discussed plans for a possible defection with several beings, both civilian and military. Among them were Villian Dance, Nova Stihl, and the cantina's owner, Memah Roothes. They all agreed that they would defect to the Alliance, if given the chance. Riten offered them the opportunity to steal an Imperial shuttle and flee the space station, hoping that he could provide them with the proper clearances to actually escape. Riten managed to locate an E-2T medical shuttle, and had planned to have P-RC3 stand in for him when the time came to escape. However, Persee's scans of the Imperial systems caught the attention of Imperial security, which took the droid away to have its memory erased.
Riten then had a choice to make: ruin their plans for escape, or stay behind and ensure the shuttle got away. After he made sure that the rest of his conspirators would escape, Riten remained behind to clear their escape path. He then went to stand amongst the ancient books and discs of the Death Star Library, where he found a form of contentment before the space station exploded around him, during the Battle of Yavin.

Rites of Conch-tar
This Anguilla ritual was developed to prove the strength and skills of a fighter. Those who survived the rites were elevated to positions of power. Those who failed were ostracized. The Rite of Conch-tar involved entering a dark cave which was covered with a phosphorescent seaweed which can affect the mind of certain beings. Force-sensitives were immune to the affects of the seaweed, which induces a deep, dreamstate in which a being must confront their deepest fears. Force-sensitive beings, or those who recover from the seaweed's effects, must confront a piscator and defeat it in battle.

This Bimm, the main rival of Guttu the Hutt, ordered the murder of Lyle Lippstroot. He then inserted his own double in Lyle's place, hoping to obtain possession of a locked box which Vop the Usurer had acquired from the Ithorians aboard the Song of the Clouds. Ritinki had learned that the lockbox held a Hapan Gun of Command. Ritinki agreed to meet with Vop on the herdship, mainly to draw the Rodian into a trap. In the end, Vop was shot and killed, but Ritinki was caught in the backlash of an explosion set off by the pirates who worked for Cecil Noone. Noone and his crew made off with Ritinki's personal starship, the Asaari Wind. The thieves also obtained the lockbox, and Ritinki was left for dead. Inside the box was a rifle-sized Hapan gun of command, which Noone and his band tried fruitlessly to sell.

Ritual of Invocation
This arcane ritual was developed by the ancient Sith Lords to help the creators of Sith holocrons to divine and inscribe the symbols and sigils that covered a specific holocron. These symbols were necessary for the creator to capture their appearance, philosophies, and knowledge in the holocron's gatekeeper functions. The symbols also helped stabilize and fuse the holocron's cognitive matrix, ensuring that the gatekeeper could interact with a holocron user. The ritual was physically and mentally exhausting, and demanded that any being who wanted to construct their own holocron was fully committed to the attempt. The Ritual of Invocation took place over several days, and any failure or misstep along the way would result in the complete collapse of the holocron. It was unclear whether or not the ancient Jedi Knights had a similar ritual for empowering their holocrons.

Rivan, Darth
A native of Zelos, this ancient Sith Lord built a fortress on the planet Almas, despite its inhospitable atmosphere. Darth Rivan took his name from a manusrcipt that was supposed to have described Darth Revan, but misspelled his name as Rivan. After learning that Revan had been a pworeful Sith Lord, Rivan adopted the misspelled name as his own. He created the kaluthin grass to modify the planet's landscape and atmosphere, and managed to survive for many decades on the planet before being driven off Almas by the Jedi Knights during the Sith Wars. He later perished in the Battle of Ruusan. Analysis of the fortress performed shortly after the Battle of Naboo revealed that the dome on the fortress was well over 1,000 years old, indicating that Rivan himself was of a very advanced age at the time of its construction. This led many Jedi scholars to believe that Rivan was not of human origin, a fact that was later borne out when he was discovered to have been a Zelosian.

Distinguished by the triangular tattoos below her eyes, Rivi-Anu and a group of Padawans was assigned to a battle group led by Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi, just prior to the Battle of Mygeeto. It was Rivi-Anu who expressed the concern of the other Padawans about going into battle, to which Ki-Adi-Mundi replied that he was also afraid. Being afraid, he explained, humbled a being to the presence of the Living Force. Unfortunately, in the battle that ensued, Rivi-Anu failed to block a blaster bolt fired by a battle droid, and she took the blast in her right shoulder. She fell to the ground in pain, unaware that an orbited command ship had been disabled. The ship plunged to the ground, and would have crushed the entire Republic force if Rivi-Anu hadn't taken action. She warned the others away, then called upon the Force to hold off the plummeting ship long enough for the others to escape. The ship proved to be too large for her to fully control, and it eventually crushed her under its weight.

Roa was a smuggler from the times of the Old Republic, and was a master of the Kessel Run. He regularly pushed the envelope and made the Run in near-record times. He was living on Nar Shaddaa when he met Lwyll, and the two fell in love. Their romance was nearly eneded when Roa crashed during the Battle of Nar Shaddaa, but he managed to escape before his ship - the Lwyll - exploded. He resolved to restrain his cockiness, and he and Lwyll were married shortly after the battle. They began to think of the young smugglers Roa was working with as their children. Among the youths they took was Han Solo, who was just starting to cut his smuggler's teeth after being expelled from the Academy. He was known as one of the best smugglers and blockade runners in the galaxy. He took Han under his wing and taught him a great deal about smuggling. Han participated in his first Kessel run while on a mission with Roa When Han began to excel, he and Roa parted company on somewhat honorable terms. Roa and his wife, Lwyll, retired from smuggling soon after, and built a large and lucrative import-export business near Bonadan. Han bumped into Roa while trying to book passage from Roonadan to Ammuud. They met again nearly forty years later, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Roa's wife, Lwyll, had been killed in a Yuuzhan Vong attack which was precipitated by the efforts of the Peace Brigade, and Roa was out for revenge. He convinced Han, who was still grieving the loss of Chewbacca, to help him in locating Reck Desh. However, the trail led them to Ord Mantell and the Jubilee Wheel, just before the Yuuzhan Vong attacked there. Despite Han's efforts, Roa was literally sucked into a Yuuzhan Vong carrier and taken away to become an energy source for the immature yammosk growing aboard the Creche'. On the clustership, Roa met Wurth Skidder. They tried to disrupt the plans of the Yuuzhan Vong commander Chine-kal, but only succeeded in exposing their plans. Roa managed to survive, and was rescued by Han and Droma at the Battle of Fondor.

Roan
This member of New Apsolon's Civilized faction was elected to serve as the planetary leader, after Ewane stepped down from the position. One of Ewane's closest advisors, Roan was one of the few members of the Civilized who called for social reform, which eventually led to the election of Ewane as planetary leader. Although middle-aged, Roan was an imposing man distinguished by the shock of gray hair that covered one side of his head. Roan was accused of backing the assassins who later murdered Ewane, but even Ewane's daughters, Eritha and Alani, scoffed at any possible connection. After they were kidnapped from Roan's residence, he agreed to meet with Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi because he felt that he was powerless to stop the rapid degeneration of his society. Roan was later given an ultimatum from the kidnappers: resign his position as planetary ruler or the twins would be harmed. He agreed to their demands, but was later killed when he went to meet with them. The twins were soon released, but Eritha discovered that Alani was secretly working for Balog. She made her own connections, blaming Balog for Roan's death as well as that of Ewane.

Roa's Rules
Han Solo, shortly after his discharge from the Imperial Navy, learned to live by these rules as a smuggler: "never ignore a call for help, never take from those who were poorer than yourself, never play sabacc unless you're prepared to lose, always be prepared to make a quick getaway, and never pilot a ship under the influence."
(THG)
Roat, Antar
This was Wedge Antilles' alias when the Rogue Squadron pilots infiltrated Coruscant. Roat was an Imperial Colonel who was shot down over Vladet, in the Rachuk System. Pronouced "Ro-At", Roat's face was severely injured, and was temporarily covered with a metallic cover. This served Wedge fine, since it covered up most of his face. Roat was scheduled to have reconstructive surgery at the Rohair Biochemical Clinic, which explained his presense on the planet. Wedge thought the Roat alias had been abandoned, but was asked to take it up again when Ysanne Isard - having escaped from the Battle of Thyferra - recruited Rogue Squadron to hunt down Prince-Admiral Krennel and the clone of Isard herself. Using her contacts within both the Empire and the New Republic, Isard had Roat's files updated to indicate he was in command of Requiem Squadron, an experimental squadron of TIE Defenders. Her plan was to have Roat and his squadron of TIE Defenders defect to Ciutric to offer their services to Krennel, whose forces had suffered huge losses in the struggle to capture the Rogues over Distna. Krennel accepted their offer, which allowed Wedge and the Rogues to infiltrate Krennel's forces and bring about their destruction. Once they had gained Krennel's confidence, the Rogues could then take out much of Ciutric's orbital defenses while a ground assault team, led by Major Telik, would eliminate any surface defenses.

(BF2)
Roba
This species of giant-tusked, pig-like animals was native to the planet Aralia. Weighing more than 900 kilograms on average, robas had few enemies on Aralia until the Ranats managed to find their way to the planet. Since then, the roba became the Ranats' favorite food, and the roba population on Aralia dwindled rapidly. In an effort to preserve the creature and maintain it as a source of food, a population of roba was exported to the planet Taanab. Among the many uses of roba meat were roasted roba, which was sliced for use in sandwiches, and roba sausage with pepper oil, a meal that was popular during the final years of the Old Republic. The fat of the roba was also used in certain dishes, to add flavor and moisture to meats and sauces.

Robeskin
This was the term used to describe a thin, living membrane developed by the Yuuzhan Vong as a portable cloak. The robeskin provided the wearer with minimal protection, but served to cover their body. The robeskin received food by feeding on the bodily secretions of the creature that wore it. Skin cells, sweat, blood, and skin oils were all ingested by the robeskin as it hung around its owner's form. In return for this sustenance, the robeskin kept its owner covered from the elements, and could even assist in the healing process if its owner were injured. By consuming the pus and effluvia of an injury, the robeskin helped prevent infection while using its own curative properties to help its owner heal quickly.
(EL2, T)
Robetheri
This Nightsister witch rose to power on her homeworld of Dathomir, in the wake of the Battle of Endor and the death of Imperial Warlord Zsinj.

Robonino
This small, fish-like Patrolian was a noted bounty hunter, during the final years of the Old Republic. In addition to his race's distinctive appearance, Robonino was distinguished by the eyepatch he wore to hide the fact that he lost his left eye when a bomb malfunctioned near him. Robonino was recruited by Cad Bane to participate in a mission to hold a group of Senators hostage, in exchange for the freedom of Ziro the Hutt. Once Bane and his group had eliminated the Senate Guards protecting the entrance to the Senate Rotunda, Robonino went to work on sabotaging the building's main power distribution system, shutting down all portals and cutting off communications. It was Robonino who managed to capture Anakin Skywalker several minutes later, after the Jedi eluded Shanan Alama. Using a small electrical power source, Robonino shocked the young Jedi into unconsciousness before dragging his limp body back to Cad Bane. After Ziro was successfully released, Alama and the other bounty hunters demanded their share of the payment for the job, but Cad Bane refused to pay them until Ziro was safely returned to his home.

Roche
This planet, located near the Roche Asteroid Field, was the base for Ackbar's Project Shantipole. Over time, this planet became the adopted homeworld of the Verpine, many of whom chose to settle the planet instead of eking out an existence on one of the many asteroids.
(XW, LF5)
Roche Asteroid Field
This area of the galaxy contained what was believed to have been the remnants of the homeworld of the Verpine race, although many xenoarchaeologists claimed it was simply colonized by the Verpine nearly two hundred years before the formation of the Old Republic, The asteroid field itself was located near Barab I and Kubindi, and was a breeding site for mynocks and space slugs. The Roche Asteroid Field was a collection of asteroid belts orbiting a small yellow sun. The native Verpine made their homes within the asteroids, carving out living areas, hangars, and factories from the rock. During the months following the Qoribu Crisis, much of the economy and industry of the Roche Asteroid Field was brought to a standstill when the Verpine became increasingly dependent upon black membrosia. The inebriated Verpine were unable to perform their duties, and many simply failed to show up for work.

(EGD)
Roche Industries
This was the name given to the small group of Verpine technicians who produced several varieties of droids during the height of the New Order. The name "Roche" was actually a simplified version of the small corporation's complet name, Roche Hive Mechanical Apparatus Design and Construction Activity for Those Who Need the Hive's Machines. Many of their original designs, such as the J9-series worker drone, were not accepted by human droid buyers, but several later designs - like the Siak-series - sold quite well.
In the wake of the Galactic Civil War, Roche Industries began to expand its enterprise into the development and manufacture of small-unit technologies for both the civilian and military markets. Miniature comlinks and other technologies became Roche Industries' biggest sellers.

Rock Dragon
This Hapan passenger ship was given to Tenel Ka by her parents, during her training as a Jedi on Yavin 4. Although the ship was quite capable of interstellar travel, it was constantly being upgraded by Jaina Solo and Lowbacca. The ship was a present from Tenel Ka's parents, following her wish to have her own ship in order to travel back and forth to Hapes. Much of the influence on her parents came from her grandmother, Ta'a Chume, who felt that her granddaughter needed adequate protection while at the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, especially in the wake of the Shadow Academy's attacks. The ship was by no means on the leading edge of technology, and was cleaned of any Hapan markings so that Tenel Ka could travel in anonymity whenever necessary. The name of the ship was chosen by Tenel Ka, and referred to the small reptile native to Dathomir. It also alluded to the Hapan custom of naming their starships "dragons." Jaina used it to rescue Zekk, Raynar, and Bornan Thul from Boba Fett, in much the same way her father bought Luke Skywalker an extra minute during the Battle of Yavin. She came at Fett with the blazing light of a star behind her, blinding the bounty hunter to her approach.
(ROM, DOG, TEP, SHA)
Rock Dragon
This small reptile was native to the planet Dathomir. It had rough, mottled skin which helps it blend into its surroundings. The rock dragon was an egg-laying species, and they build nests among the rocks in which to lay their eggs. They then use their bodies to warm the eggs, with their natural camouflage helping to hide the nest. They eat mainly insects and plants, but have a defensive poison that they inject with a small stinger to protect themselves. The poison was strong enough to kill a full-grown rancor.

Rock Sucker
This species of flat-bodied mollusk was native to the planet Mytus VII. One of the only creatures which could survive on the planet's surface, rock suckers feed on the minerals of the planet's crust by exuding an acidic secretion from the suckers on their underside.

Rock Wart
A vicious, slug-like creature found on the planet Tatooine, the rock wart was a worm with large eyes and a gaping, fang-filled mouth that opened vertically. The bite of the rock wart delivered a potent neurotoxin which could kill a human in a short period of time. Once a rock wart had killed its prey, it consumed as much of the prey as it could, then burrowed inside the body to lay its eggs. The eggs of a rock wart were valued by many crimelords and other criminals, since these unsavory individuals often implanted them in the bodies of beings who did not carry out their orders. The eggs gestated inside the living host until the embryo reached maturity, at which time the small creature chewed its way out of the body of the host.

Many years later, when Logray attempted to break the curse that kept the Jindas on the move, the Rock Wizard reappeared and tried to punish the Ewok for meddling. However, Logray managed to banish the Rock Wizard and free the Jindas.

This was a branch of The Workers faction, based on the planet New Apsolon some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. The Rock Workers were miners by trade, working in the quarries of their homeworld to harvest wondrous stone and ores. During Balog's attempt to take control of New Apsolon, the Rock Workers allied themselves with the Tech Workers. When the Aboslutes who were working with Balog attacked the Rock Worker settlement, they killed every living being they encountered. They wanted no witnesses to their theft of weapons, explosives, and supplies, and even killed the children of the Rock Workers. They only survivor had been Yanci, who had been sent out to ask for assistance from Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Yanci later returned to the base and buried the dead.

Rocker Leg
This was a term used by many starfighter pilots to describe the nervous habit of shaking one's legs, just prior to launching into a combat zone.

This was a slang term used by the clone pilots of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe a ground-based clone trooper. The term stemmed from the fact that most clone troopers were carried into battle zones aboard LAAT gunships, and had to jump out of the ships as they skimmed the ground. This allowed the pilots to fly the LAAT out of the line of fire, giving them a chance to rescue the clones on the ground at a later time.

Rocshore Fish
Native to the coastal waters of the planet Senali, this timid, spined fish had three large claws, which it used to catch its prey. The Senalis discovered that the rocshore fish would regenerate a claw if one was removed, and hunted the fish for their clawmeat. By spearing the fish in the tail, where there were no nerves to cause pain, the rocshore fish could be immobilized long enough to twist off a claw. The Senalis were careful to remove a single claw at a time, for the fish was unable to hunt with a single claw, and eventually died of starvation. The rocshore fish's clawmeat was a staple in the Senali diet. The Senalis learned that they had to hunt for rocshore fish underwater, for the fish were easily spooked by the presence of a boat. Whenever spooked, rocshore fish would bury themselves in the sand to hide.

Rod
This clone trooper was one of the many who were deployed under Commander Ponds and Jedi Master Mace Windu during the Battle of Malastare, at the height of the Clone Wars.

Rodan, Fyor
This man, a native of the planet Commenor, was a member of the New Republic Advisory Council during the height of the New Republic. As a Senator, he opposed the formation of a new Jedi Council, shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Many rumors spoke of Rodan's own ties to the smugglers that were taken out of business by the vigilante Jedi led by Kyp Durron, and hinted that his dislike of the Jedi was based more on lost profits than anything else. However, these rumors were not true of Fyor, but his older brother Tormak.
Later, Rodan threw in his support to Borsk Fey'lya, who argued for the defense of Bothawui when it was learned that the Yuuzhan Vong were going to attack either Bothawui or Corellia. Rodan believed that the Jedi had manipulated the information in order to force the New Republic into a poor position, which would leave the door open for the Jedi to take control of the galaxy. He went so far as to call the Jedi way a "quaint philosophy" in the presence of Luke Skywalker.
Shortly afterward, Rodan was one of few members of the Advisory Council to reach Borleias, in the wake of the Second Battle of Coruscant. He joined the self-appointed Chief of State Pwoe in trying to take control of the New Republic's future, but soon realized that Pwoe was really only in the game for his own personal agenda. When the remnants of the Republic called for a meeting on Calamari, Rodan abandoned Pwoe and returned to the rightful Republic. However, he held no more love for the Jedi or their efforts with the war, and made sure to take every public opportunity to belittle Luke Skywalker and the Jedi.
Rodan's bid to become the Republic's Chief of State was thwarted when Cal Omas was elected, and he grudgingly swore to work with Omas and the new Jedi High Council to help turn the tide of battle against the Yuuzhan Vong.
With the defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong, Rodan continued to represent Commenor in the Galactic Alliance, but was among the many Senators who grew increasingly concerned with the path down which Omas was taking the galaxy. During the Corellia-GA War, Rodan set in motion his own plans to give his homeworld every chance at complete independence, should Corellia succeed in its plans for secession. While quietly arguing in favor of Corellia, Commenor began amassing its own private naval fleet. Thus, Rodan was surprised when he received an encoded transmission from a Hapan woman who knew all about Commenor's plans.
Unaware that the woman was Lumiya in disguise, Rodan listened to her offer of intelligence data on the Galactic Alliance's plans to defeat Commenor, should it be forced to invade Corellia to maintain galactic peace. She also offered him a chance to join several other fleets in a concerted attack on the GA forces that surrounded Corellia. Stunned that Commenor's plans were known to others, Rodan accepted her offer and set about verifying it with the ministers of war and intelligence on Commenor.
(VP, JE, BP, EL1, DW, LF4)
Rodan, Tormak
This man was the older brother of New Republic Senator Fyor Rodan. Tormak was a smuggler who worked for Jabba the Hutt, and went solo when Jabba was killed on Tatooine. Tormak worked from a base on Nar Shaddaa during much of his career. The two brothers hated each other, taking opposite sides of virtually every issue. Tormak's exploits were mistakenly attributed to Fyor during his early Senatorial career, and rumors of his ties to smugglers led many to questions of his veracity. Fyor found that he couldn't admit to Tormak's smuggling, as the admission would damage his career almost as much as the rumors had.

Rodent
This MSE droid was part of the droid pool that served the Old Republic's base on Pastil, during the height of the Clone Wars. The nickname Rodent was applied to the droid by a group of clone troopers who were led by Captain Rex and Commander Cody. When Commander Rex realized that Rodent spent an inordinate amount of time cleaning a specific communications station, he feared that the droid might be using its "cleaning" time to send encrypted messages to the Separatists. A Code Aurek alert was sent out to all base personnel to locate the droid, and the droid was quickly shot. However, its wheels transformed into individual communication modules, and tried to escape in any way possible. Most of the wheels were shot, while the last one was destroyed by a thermal detonator when it tried to escape through an air vent.

Rodeo Thranta
This domesticated species of thranta was bred on the planet Bespin by the acrobats and daredevils of the Air Rodeo. These thrantas were originally brought to Bespin from Alderaan many generations before, and were prized for their ability to be tamed while maintaining enough spirit and intelligence to perform complex tricks. Individual rodeo thrantas were trained to respond to high-pitched whistles, allowing their riders to turn them as needed. These thrantas usually have about ten years of performing before they were "retired" and used as mounts or pets. Because of the thrantas' inability to survive without the correct atmosphere, the Air Rodeo rarely traveled away from Bespin.

Rodia
The tropical home world of the Rodian race, Rodia was the second planet in the Tyrius System. Rodia was orbited by four natural moons. It was once a lush paradise teaming with life, but the hunters of the Rodian people wiped out much of the planet's native life in search of food and dominance. In the years that followed, the planet became highly industrialized, and much of its atmosphere was flooded with greehouse gases that warmed the planet over time. This gradual warming forced many of the larger cities to construct protective domes over their boundaries, in order to protect their citizens from extreme heat and humidity. During the Clone Wars, its location between the Core Worlds and Separatist-held sectors put Rodia in the midst of much of the fighting. The Galactic Republic could not keep sending supplies to Rodia without draining the resources of the Grand Army of the Republic, and so many Rodians starved because of a lack of food and clean water. Senator Onaconda Farr tried to make a deal with the Separatists, obtaining foodstuffs in exchange for Padme' Amidala. Decades later, Rodia was subjugated by the Yuuzhan Vong, shortly after the alien invaders took Druckenwell and Falleen. The native Rodians fled into the wilderness, and continued to stage guerrilla raids on Yuuzhan Vong settlements throughout the remainder of the war.

Rodian
This bipedal race, distinguished by their tapir-like faces and multifaceted eyes, was native to the planet Rodia, in the Tyrius system. The skin of a Rodian was green in color, and there was very little physical variation within the species. Thus, non-Rodians often could not tell two individual Rodians apart. Individuals of the species used a complex pheromonal excretion as a form of identification and communication. The mixture of chemicals also served to moisturize the skin of a Rodian, and served as a kind of attractant for finding a mate. However, many non-Rodian beings found the scent to be overpowering and noxious. The average Rodian had pointed ears and a pair of antennae that swiveled in their sockets, allowing them to sense vibrations from many directions and use these vibrations to gain more information about their surroundings. A ridge of spikes ran along the center crest their skulls, and their long, flexible fingers were tipped with suction cups. These unusual fingers allowed a Rodian to climb on the walls or ceiling of an enclosure, much like a gecko or frog. Their large, faceted eyes were capable of seeing into the infrared spectrum, allowing Rodians to hunt by tracking the heat signature of their prey.
Many xenobiologists believed that the Rodians evolved form a species of rock-climbing lizards. As these small reptiles gained intelligence, they realized that they were defenseless against larger predators, and began using tools and fashioning weapons to help ensure their survival. Over time, these ancient reptiloids took the fight to their predators, learning to attack their enemies rather than waiting to be killed. These traits led to the Rodians to evolve as a race of hunters, surviving their planet's tropical environment and establishing a series of war games which lasted for thousands of years. Leadership and recognition was often based on the hunting skills of an individual, and many clans tried to exterminate each other in an effort to establish their own greatness. This period of bloody confrontation coincided with a time when the birthrate among females dropped significantly, to the point that the Rodians were killing each other off faster than they could reproduce. Harido Kavila, the Grand Protector at the time, devised a way for the Rodian people to funnel their violent tendencies through dramatic plays. The stories revolved primarily around violence, but had a well-defined plot and used the violence to magnify the emotional impact of the plays. The Rodian dramas became well-known throughout the galaxy, in part because they were strong dramas but also because they portrayed the full impact of violence on the perpetrator and his victim.
When an Old Republic scout team landed on the planet, the Rodians were there to meet them, armed to the teeth. They annihilated the scout team, and the Grand Protector declared that it was time to take their skills to the stars. However, this grand scheme did not work out as well as they had hoped. Their pheromonal excretions led most traveling Rodians to be ostracized, and their violent nature of resulted in arrests and imprisonment. Those Rodians who managed to make a living in the galactic community worked as bounty hunters for corrupt crime lords, relying on their natural talents to carve out a niche for themselves.
Over time, bounty hunting came to hold a place of high esteem on Rodia. The weapon of choice for a Rodian bounty hunter was the thermal detonator, since a widespread explosion tended to kill more than a single blaster shot. Each bounty hunter was obliged to bring a valid record of his or her kill to the Guild on Rodia for logging in the record books.
During the era of the New Order, many Rodians found work as Imperial lackeys.
When the Yuuzhan Vong subjugated Rodia, the surviving Rodians fled into the wilderness, preferring to stay alive and fight with terrorist-like attacks. The fact that these attacks continued with increasing violence caused the Yuuzhan Vong to admire the Rodian spirit, and many Rodians who were captured were given favored status as slaves. Others were simply genetically altered to become the Vagh Rodiek, a combination of Rodian and other genes that resulted in a crab-like killing beast.

Rodian Hunting Grounds
Known as the Etyyy in the Shyriiwook language, this area of the planet Kashyyyk was located to the southeast of Kachirho. Comprised of several safari compounds established by various Rodian hunters who paid regular tazes to the Wookiees for the use of the land, the Rodian Hunting Grounds became the planet's primary proving grounds for big-game hunters of all species. However, the original ideals of the Etyyy - treating both the land and the hunt with respect - gave way to the accumulation of credits and the arrival of the Empire. The Imperial agents who subjugated Kashyyyk stripped the Wookiees of any income they were receiving from the Rodians, and then demanded that the Rodians pay a hefty tax to continue their hunts on the now Imperially-controlled land. The Rodians were more interested in the credits than their agreement with the Wookiees, and simply started paying taxes to the Empire to preserve their ability to hunt. The appearance of Chiss poachers was not welcomed by either the Wookiees or the Rodians, but the Empire chose to ignore the situation, causing even more damage to the environment of the Etyyy.

Rodno was a very self-confident individual, although his knowledge was often incomplete. This was due mainly to his young age and lacked of experience, but it didn't stop Rodno from trying to learn more, as quickly as he could. When it was learned that the Empire was planning to subjugate the Kadrillians and the Nocivs in order to steal all the kunda stones on Kadirl, Rodno led Luke Skywalker and Han Solo into Nociv territory. There, he reunited with his chosen mate, Deerna, who had decided to remain with the Nocivs. Rodno's love for her remained strong, and he stepped in front of a blaster bolt meant for Deerna in the fighting. The wound was not fatal, and Rodno survived. Deerna agreed to marry him, and Rodno agreed to remain with the Nocivs.
(LAT3)
Rodo
A native of Ragith III, this man worked as a bouncer at the Soft Heart Cantina, during the early years of the New Order. Rodo, who never gave anyone another name, was a former member of the Strikebirds who could forestall a brawl simply by walking up to the two combatants and flexing his muscles. His body was a solid mass of muscle, a result of spending many years in the high-gravity environment of his homeworld. However, he was as agile as he was strong, and was trained in the martial art of teras kasi.
His boss, Memah Roothes, was never sure how or why he stayed in the job at the Soft Heart Cantina, but she wasn't surprised when he agreed to accompany her when she took a job running a cantina on the first Death Star. He claimed that the new job would give him a chance to "thump active military guys", and that he would miss her if he remained behind on Coruscant.
Life aboard the Death Star wasn't as exciting as Rodo had thought it would be, and he eventually found his way to Nova Stihl's martial arts classes to get some exercise. The two men were evenly matched, and each knew of martial arts techniques that the other had not yet learned. In this way, they trained each other in new moves, and they became fast friends.
After the destruction of the planet Alderaan, Rodo agreed to jump ship and join the Alliance, if the opportunity presented itself to Memah. When Atour Riten agreed to help a small group of fellow conspirators steal a shuttle, they believed that their escape was imminent. However, when the appointed time came, the group was apprehended by a pair of stormtroopers. Rather than waiting for something to happen, Rodo and Nova Stihl attacked the troopers, then remained behind to cover their escape when more stormtroopers arrived. The pair fought bravely but was soon overpowered. Rodo was shot in the stomach by a stormtrooper, and died as he watched Stihl take a blast in the head.

This easily-angered man was one of the handful of Mandalorian commandos who accompanied Boba Fett to the Nickel One asteroid, in the wake of the Second Battle of Fondor, to attempt to drive off the forces of the Imperial Remnant that had taken control of the asteroid and all but enslaved the native Verpine. When his squad came upon Jaina Solo in one of the reactor bunkers on the asteroid, Roegr wanted to kill her because other Mandalorians had agreed to help the Jedi who were with Jaina, and had been killed in the attempt. Mirta Gev stepped between them, since both groups had their jobs to do, and couldn't afford to kill each. Jaina later learned that his brother had been killed in the initial assault, which added to his emotions. Unfortunately, the Mandalorians discovered that they were outnumbered by the Imperial forces on the asteroid, and they were outmatched when Darth Caedus entered the fighting. Caedus confronted Roegr in the Strategic Planning Forum, and after a brief struggle, Caedus managed to locate the shatterpoint of Roegr's beskar armor. Caedus used the hilt of his lightsaber to crack open Roegr's armor, then shoved the weapon inside the chestplate and ignited it. The blade cut through Roegr's chest and went into his helmet, killing him instantly.

Rog challenged Guth to a duel, and promised to kill Ugmush as soon as he dispatched Guth. However, before the duel could take place, Callista Ming and Kufbrug discovered the plot set in place by Rog's wife, Gundruk, to kill Vrokk and assume control of Bolgoink. It was learned that Gundruk had ordered Rog to obtain a tiny homunculus-wasp and place it into the wax seal of the false challenge document given to Vrokk. Callista could only assume that Rog was just a pawn in the entire plan. Rog and Gundruk fled Gamorr, rather than face Kufbrug's wrath.

Rogg felt that this meant that leaders were killed quickly in battle, eliminating their expertise and knowledge before they could be put to good use. When Kyle Katarn returned to Sulon to recover his father's belonging, he was attacked by Rogg's forces near the homestead. In the confusion of the firefight, his second-in-command Bordo shot Rogg dead.

However, he was fearful of the political power that Boss Gallo held, despite the fact the Boss Gallo remained stoicaly neutral in the Gungan clans wars. Boss Rogoe feared that Boss Gallo might throw his alliance toward another clan, thereby preventing Boss Rogoe from gathering more power. In a pre-emptive strike, Boss Rogoe attacked Otoh Sancture and destroyed it, hoping to eliminate Boss Gallo. Gallo survived, however, and led a counter-attack on Spearhead. Boss Rogoe was killed in the fighting, and Spearhead was destroyed. From the remains of the city of Spearhead, Boss Gallo built the city of Otoh Gunga.

Rogriss, Teren
This man served the Imperial Navy for many years, eventually being promoted to Admiral. After the Battle of Endor, Rogriss remained loyal to those who upheld the ideals of the New Order, and vehemently opposed the warlords who sprang up in the wake of the Emperor's death. He especially despised Zsinj, and went so far as to contact the New Republic warship Mon Remonda to request an audience. During the meeting with Garik Loran, Rogriss proposed a secret alliance in which both sides would trade information about Zsinj, in the hopes that one of them would bring the warlord down. He even went so far as to "loan" the Interdictor-class warship Stellar Web to Han Solo for his attack on Zsinj at Selaggis Six. After learning that Zsinj was still alive, Rogriss was sent on several other missions to hunt the warlord down. However, Rogriss was always a step behind Admiral Ackbar and Solo, and was eventually demoted from fleet commander - although he remained an Admiral - and given only a single support ship to command with the Agonizer. In this capacity, he was assigned to escort Turr Phennir and the pilots of the 181st Fighter Group to Adumar for the negotiations on Adumar's future. He was ordered by his superiors to ensure the Empire gained control of Adumar, at any cost. This order conflicted with his own sense of personal honor, and he eventually decided to ignore any order which called for the destruction of Adumari resources, should they side with the New Republic. He made hihs intentions known to Wedge Antilles, who agreed to help contact his family if he ever had to flee the wrath of the Empire. Rogriss' wife had died several years prior, but his two children survived. Wedge agreed, and Rogriss proved true to his word. When the Adumari chose to join the Republic, Rogriss chose to take the Agonizer out of orbit and leave the system, rather than destroy their society. Rogriss then returned to Adumar, in the hopes of helping them learn more realistic warfare techniques to replace their honor-based system. He remained on the planet as a defense minister for the perator.

Another individual would be from the darkness yet stand in the light, while another would be from the light yet stand in darkness. A fifth individual would stand apart from the others. Between them all, they would bring down everything that the Jedi had worked so hard to accomplish. The Covenant was formed to watch the future and predict when the prophecy was about to come true, and to identify the five individuals who were described by Lady Krynda. It was believed that the Rogue Moon Prophecy had finally come to pass during the early stages of the Mandalorian Wars, when Zayne Carrick and his fellow Padawans at the Jedi training facility on Taris were identified as the five beings in the prophecy. Their Jedi Masters, all members of The Covenant, agreed that they had to kill their students in order to prevent the prophecy from coming to pass, thereby allowing the Sith to return to power. Only Zayne Carrick survived the murders, because he was late to the "special ceremony" that the Masters had planned for the Padawans. In the months that followed, Haazen developed his own interpretation of the Prophecy of the Five, with Q'Anilia serving as the being of the light who stood the darkness of her blindness, Marn Hierorgyph as the being of darkness who had turned to the light, Zayne Carrick as the being from the light, Lucien Draay as the being from the darkness, and Haazen himself as the one that stood apart. In his mania, Haazen believed himself to be the ruler of both Jedi and Sith, and he took on the name Dath Hayze.

Rogue Shadow
This was the name of the starship that was assigned to Darth Vader's secret apprentice, who was only known as the Starkiller, during the height of the New Order. It combined the signature cockpit of a TIE Fighter with a wedge-shaped fuselage, and was also equipped with a cloaking device. The wings on the starboard side of the ship were formed from a pair of triangular solar panels, providing maneuverability and increased vision for the pilot. The port side of the ship was dominated by a large weapons pod. It was a prototype vessel that was designed to look as unremarkable as possible, despite the fact that it was a combat ship.
The Rogue Shadow was equipped with state-of-the-art sensors and scanners, as well as an exceptionally fast hyperdrive and powerful shield systems. The pilot of the Rogue Shadow was chosen from the ranks of Imperial pilots, but these individuals were always subject to the anger of Darth Vader. It was believed that Juno Eclipse was the eighth pilot of the Rogue Shadow. When Emperor Palpatine discovered the existence of the Starkiller, Darth Vader hatched a plan to make it appear as if had killed his apprentice. However, Vader kept his apprentice alive so that he could reach out to rebel leaders and help them step up their efforts to overthrow the Empire. In this way, Vader hoped to distract the Emperor and attempt to overthrow him. Thus, when the apprentice and Juno Eclipse escaped from the Empirical, they "stole" the Rogue Shadow to use on their subsequent missions.
(SWI93, LAWS, TFUN)
Rogue Squadron
This was the unofficial name of the X-Wing unit known as Red Squadron that assaulted the first Death Star during the Battle of Yavin. Rogue Squadron became the official title of the snowspeeder pilots who served at the Alliance's Echo Base on Hoth, and eventually became the designation given to Luke Skywalker's group of twelve X-wing pilots througout the Galactic Civil War.
After Luke resigned his commission from the New Republic, Wedge Antilles was promoted to Rogue Squadron's commander. He took Rogue Squadron into battle at Bakura, and tried to keep the squadron vital in the aftermath of the Galactic Civil War. However, a number of rookies got killed trying to live up to the history of Rogue Squadron following Bakura, and so Admiral Ackbar approached the Provisional Council of the New Republic to petition them to let him restructure Rogue Squadron, from a political tool to a real team of crack pilots. Wedge continued to be the squadron's commander, and Aril Nunb was named Executive Officer. Wedge, however, felt that she was not as good a teacher as she was a pilot, and petitioned to have her replaced with Tycho Celchu.
Under Antilles and Celchu, and a few Rogue Squadron veterans, the squadron regained its mystique and became the elite group of pilots it was destined to be. Following the liberation of Coruscant from Ysanne Isard, the Rogues were awarded the first Coruscant Star of Valor for their efforts. The squadron was then ordered to augment Han Solo's fleet, which was planning to attack the Warlord Zsinj. All of the squadron's members were against the mission, wanting instead to liberate the planet Thyferra from Isard and exact their revenge on the way Isard and Erisi Dlarit had used the squadron. The Republic refused this request, ordering them to report for duty to Solo.
Instead, every member of the squadron submitted their resignation and created their own force with which to attack Thyferra. After the battle to retake Thyferra was decided, it was "discovered" by Airen Cracken that their resignations were never processed, so the Squadron was reinstated to active duty. The squadron served as part of the support structure for the Mon Remonda during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. It remained under the command of Wedge Antilles until the defeat of Grand Admiral Thrawn and Prince-Admiral Krennel, when Wedge accepted a promotion to General. Tycho Celchu became Rogue Leader at this time, but eventually gave up the position to Wedge several years later.
The Rogues were reported destroyed while supporting a reconnaissance mission over the moon of Distna, during the hunt for Krennel. Ysanne Isard's clone, obsessed with eliminating the Rogues, had laid an ambush for them at Corvis Minor Five. The ambush would have succeeded, if the real Ysanne Isard had not dispatched Colonel Vessery to recover the Rogues. This allowed them to work with Vessery's people to eliminate Krennel and Isard's clone before returning to active duty. A semi-permanent monument to the fallen Rogues was erected in the wake of the failed rescue of Sate Pestage from Ciutric, after Ibtisam gave her life to allow the squadron to escape. It was made up of holograms of those Rogues who had given their lives to the Alliance and the New Republic.
The insignia of Rogue Squadron was centered on the blue shield of the Alliance. Surrounding it were the images of twelve X-Wing starfighters with engines burning, flying outward from the shield. Four 12-pointed red stars surrounded the fighters, signifying the far-reaching strength of the squadron. The number twelve was significant, of course, because it represented the twelve positions of the squadron.
In the years following the galaxy's war against the Yuuzhan Vong, Rogue Squadron became an all-Jedi unit, with pilots like Zekk and Jaina Solo leading other Jedi into battle whenever necessary. The fact that all the Rogue Squadron pilots were Jedi only added to the mystique of the unit. The unit remained this way for many years, until the Jedi were all but destroyed during the Massacre at Ossus. In the wake of the Battle of Caamas, the mantle of Rogue Squadron was taken up by the CF9 Crossfire pilots who served under Commander Jhoram Bey.

Because of his age and experience, Rohak was named the Village Elder, and took control of the regular business of the Village. Although he was initially against the idea, Rohak eventually agreed with Marite that the Village of Aurilia should open its arms to Force-sensitive offworlders. In this way, the lore and knowledge of the settlers could be passed on, while the offworlders helped defend the settlement from attacks by the Nightsisters.

Rohlan the Questioner
This was the name used by the ancient Mandalorians to describe Rohlan Dyre. The name stemmed from Rohlan's continued questioning of Mandalorian doctrine, and his refusal to accept things at face value. Although the current Mandalore refused to acknowledge Rohlan in this role, he nonetheless took advantage of Rohlan's actions at Flashpoint to depict him as a penitent man who put aside his shame and died to save his fellow troopers. With his dying breath, Rohlan the Questioner supposedly stated that the only answer acceptable for any question was the word of the Mandalore. Rohlan was quite alive, of course, which forced the Mandalore to ask him to put aside his regular battle armor and adopt the armor of a Neo-Crusader.

Roi, Fitz
This legendary jatz musician was a native of Tapani Sector, and returned there after touring the Core during the height of the New Order. His family was native to the planet Lenniera, and maintained an estate there after Roi himself established a residence on Esseles. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Fitz Roi was known almost as much for his mastery with the Faln horn as he was for his flamboyant stage shows.
He carried a pair of projectile pistols at his side at all times, and often shot them off in concert. On the eve of a concert on the planet Rimma, Fitz Roi fired the weapons inside the Crystal Room at the Teirra Parko, forcing planetary officials to cancel his shows and deport him. The fans that had arrived on Rimma went on a rampage, rioting in the streets of Recardeon and causing thousands of credits in damage.
Fitz Roi's slug throwers, believed to have been created by Andel Tanner during the Manderon Period, were stolen by the Tombat while Roi was playing at the Priole Danna Festival, after his Summerside Tour was cancelled. The pistols had been valued at over twleve million credits at the time of their theft. Later, at a flambouyant concert on Esseles, Roi went on stage dressed as a Jedi Knight. After his corporate sponsor, Flangth-2-Go, drooped him, Fitz Roi was sponsored by a young female noble of House Barnaba, who was infatuated with him.

Rokak'k
Probably the most respected of the Gree guild masters in the modern era, Rokak'k was the master of the Rokak'k Baran. He cared little for politics and prestige, except when they interfered with his ability to maintain the Rokak'k Baran's schedule. He commands the 5,000 Gree who work aboard the ship, and he tolerates the multitude of aliens that he transports throughout the Gree Enclave.

Rokak'k Baran
This huge Gree starship was the primary method of transportation between the many worlds of the Gree Enclave. Its primary port was at the world of Asation, where any non-Gree visitors to the Enclave must first stop and put to port. They were then free to board the Rokak'k Baran and travel as permitted to other Gree worlds. The Rokak'k Baran resembles a huge Ithorian herdship in its design, being a five-kilometer wide, disk-shaped ship. The ship requires nearly 5,000 Gree to maintain and operate, and can transport up to 10,000 passengers. It can pas through hyperspace lik emany starships, but it uses a Gree-designed propulsion system. It was armed with a single weapon, the Varat'k Snarap, and protected by the Karkak'k Marek.

Rokk, Redkihl
This alien pirate was known as the Scavenger of the Galaxy. An aged, balding Huralok, Redkihl Rokk was the leader of a band of pirates that scoured the Outer Rim in the starship Hungry Ghost during the last decades of the Old Republic. Rokk was considered violent, even for a pirate, although he rarely killed any being onboard the ships his crew ambushed. Instead, the prey vessel was dragged close enough to the Hungry Ghost so that a swarm of spider-like droids could be placed inside. These droids then stunned the crew and passengers, allowing Rokk's pirates to loot the ship of its valuables. After disabling the ship's drives and communications systems, Rokk set it adrift in open space. In order to maintain his position within his gang of pirates, Rokk regularly injected his failing body with nutrients and drugs that sustained him well beyond his years.
His band of pirates, a mixture of living beings and droids, flew a squadron of TIE Fighters painted bright red, which distinguished them from the Imperials as well as other pirates. Redkihl and his traveled to the Yavin System, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, and found themselves able to salvage all sorts of things from the wreckage of the first Death Star. Redkihl himself tried to capture Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon, and had nearly boarded the ship when Luke Skywalker returned to Yavin 4 and assisted Han's escape. As the Millennium Falcon blasted off, a bomb planted on Redkihl's ship exploded, killing the pirate and leaving his remains stranded in the debris field of the Death Star.

Rokko
This relatively young Hutt was a minor crimelord among his kind, but he controlled a sizable portion of the criminal underworld on the planet Coruscant, during the final years of the Old Republic. Much of Rokko's organization was based on the trafficking of stolen merchandise, and he had few qualms about the source of this merchandise or how it was obtained. When the Galactic Empire was formed, Rokko was about 400 years old. Despite the change in galactic leadership, Rokko continued to maintain his organization's activities, although he was forced to move the center of his operations into the downlevels of Imperial City. This was not a large problem, since Rokko already controlled most of the Blackpit Slums and the surrounding environs. As a crimelord from the Besadii clan, Rokko was known to be exceptionally vengeful, and the many ways he exacted his revenge on rivals and those who crossed him were the stuff of nightmares.
Shortly after the end of the Clone Wars, Rokko hired Jax Pavan to locate Toh Revo Chryyx, with payment coming if the Cerean was delivered alive. Pavan kept up his end of the bargain, but Chryyx committed suicide as soon as he was delivered into Rokko's possession. Rokko refused to pay Pavan, since the Cerean was no use to him dead, and ordered his thugs to kill Pavan then the man objected. When his thugs returned with amazing stories of Pavan's escape, a quick check of the security cams showed Rokko that Pavan was actually a Jedi Knight in disguise. Rokko did not immediately report this information to the Imperial authorities, and was amazed when Pavan returned to his lair to offer the Hutt a deal.
The human and his Twi'lek companion, Laranth Tarak, asked for Rokko's help in locating the rogue droid 10-4TO. In exchange for the use of Rokko's resources, Jax agreed to turn over any reward or bounty there might be on the droid and its information. Rokko admired the human's nerve, and agreed to the deal. It was shortly after this that Den Dhur arrived at Rokko's palace, offering him the use of the droid I-5YQ, which the Sullustan claimed could play sabacc. A quick match with the droid confirmed Dhur's claims, and Rokko agreed to take the droid. However, this series of events escalated into a problem when the droid recognized Jax, although Jax claimed to have no recollection of the droid.

Rokna
A tree that was prevalent in the forests of Endor's Sanctuary moon, the rokna was known as a host to a spiky, blue fungus which was poisonous, and even deadly, to most races. The poison caused memory loss, rapid aging, and eventually death. However, in a slightly refined state known as Rokna Blue, it was a highly-addictive euphoric.
(ECAR, GMR9)
Rokna Blue
This deadly poison was collected from the rokna tree on the Forest Moon of Endor. In very small quantities, it could induce exquisite states of bliss in its users. A microgram could cause death, however, so the recreational use of Rokna Blue was considered highly dangerous. Prolonged use of rokna blue caused severe memory loss. The illegal use of Rokna Blue reached its peak around the time of the Black Fleet Crisis, but dropped sharply in the years afterward. It was sold in small, blue, pebble-like pieces.

Rokna Station
This space station was erected in orbit in the Endor System, between the planets Megiddo and Dor. It was built some twelve years after the Battle of Endor, and was named for the illicit refining of rokna that took place during the early years of the new Republic. However, due to the Republic's swift crackdown on the production of Rokna Blue, the station was abandoned just ten months after its completion. The drug kingpin known as "Blue" Imcrix tried to re-establish the production facilities on the station, but the New Republic quickly shut him down.

During the Clone Wars, the Rokrul villages were plunged into a perpetual winter when the Confederacy of Independent Systems established a secret outpost on Nelvaan. The facility drew intense amounts of geothermal power from the planet's core, power that normally would have provided warmth to the Rokrul area. The facility was eventually destroyed by Anakin Skywalker, but the Rokrul area took decades to recover.

A native of Velmor, Rolado had previous experience riding ycaqts before his family moved to Corellia. He was able to capture a group of tauntauns, and was only able to approach a female after sedating her. This proved to be the turning point, however, as the female soon accepted his companionship. She then used the tauntaun's own form of communication to relay to her companions that the Alliance personnel were friendly.

Nevertheless, the rolk-mangir was quite fast when on the hunt, and used surprise to catch its prey. Compared to its body, the rolk-mangir's head was quite small, with a toothy mouth surrounded by six stout horns used to spear its prey. Its name was derived from the Yinchorri phrase for "horned death". The average rolk-mangir stood nearly four meters tall, and was quite cunning when it came to stalking it prey. Rolk-mangir lived in small packs, each of which had its own hierarchy and pecking order.

In the slave campes, Reina was the only being who could speak his language, and Rollos quickly developed a friendship with her that soon became fierce loyalty. When the Sullustan threatened to injure Reina for being obstinate, Rollos grew angry and destroyed the slave camp. Rollos and Reina then stole the slave master's starship and fled, taking up the life of smugglers and swindlers.
The duo led a whirlwind life, barely escaping from an Imperial battalion on Arcura on one particular job. During the early years of the New Republic, they were set up by Begas Tok, and only Rollos' quick thinking saved them from being arrested. Their freedom lasted just a few weeks, however, as they were apprehended on the planet Entralla by Ivey and the Red Moons. Luckily for the pair, the Red Moons only wanted them to carry out a job for them. The Red Moons needed the security plans for the Parade of Ghosts, and knew that Reina was the best person for the job. Since she had no credits to her name, Reina agreed to the deal.

Unfortunately, the Galactic Alliance was unable to rescue him before Darth Krayt arrived and placed the planet under the control of the Sith. Darth Krayt ordered that all Galactic Alliance personnel were to be imprisoned on sight, or killed if they refused, forcing Ronto to go into hiding in order to save himself. He was unable to avoid attention, however, and was quickly captured and sent to a detention facility. Ronto didn't have to wait long for a rescue, when Monia Gahan showed up with Treis Sinde and Sigel Dare to set the Galactic Alliance's personnel free.
(SWLI, SWLW)
Ronto
A huge sauropod beast of burden, the ronto was actually a mammal. Note that The New Essential Guide to Alien Species indicates that rontos were reptiles. Its small head was crowned with two pair of ears and a knobbed, calloused dome. The smaller pair of ears gave the ronto excellent hearing in the high-frequency range, while the larger pair provided low-frequency hearing as well as body-heat dissipation. They have a keen sense of smell, which made up for their poor eyesight. The thick skin of the ronto served to protect a the creature from the harsh sun, but it also provided an efficient way to dissipate excess body heat.
Many of these were exported from Tatooine, especially to arid or desert worlds, as they seemed to adapt well to the dry climates. A trader from Tatooine donated one to Luke Skywalker and his Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, to assist in repairing the Great Temple after the battle with the Shadow Academy.

The primary planet in the Roon System of asteroids and moonlets, Roon orbited its sun at such a distance and with sufficient rotation to be tide-locked. One side was a lush, tropical paradise while the opposite side was a cold, dark wilderness that was only lit by the planet's single moon. The planet was first settled about 1,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, and stories of the remote world began to attract treasure-seekers and explorers. Rumors spread over the years that the planet held untold treasures, but no one ever found them. The planet's location within the Cloak of the Sith only added to its mystery. In reality, the planet was first settled by spice traders, who used the planet as a staging area for much of the spice that was exported from Ryloth. After the Battle of Endor, Roon became a haven for all manner of criminals, primarily smugglers who were working the Death Wind Corridor. The planet did have its share of treasures, since it was the only source of Roonstones in the galaxy.

Roorrrwiir
This Wookiee was part of a small gang led by Meelo that operated on Cularin during the final years of the Old Republic. Because of this, he was considered the "founder" of the so-called Wookiee Liberation Front, or WOLF for short. Despite his strength, Roorrrwiir was a jumpy individual, and often reacted without any forethought to the smallest of distractions. Thus often led to nearly-disasterous results, and the formation of the Wookiee Liberation Front was a perfect example. When one of their members was captured and imprisoned by the Metatheran Cartel, Meelo led her inept comrades in a daring escape, which was bungled almost from the start. Roorrr had been given piloting duties for their speeder, despite the fact that he didn't know how to drive, and ended up crashed their speeder into the front window of the Metatheran Cartel's primary facility in Gadrin. In the resulting chaos, Meelo managed to rescue her friend, but the Jawa known as Keth-Keth decided that they needed to cover their escape. Screaming "Free Kashyyyk" as loud as his vocoder would project, Keth-Keth lobbed grenades at police vehicles while calling for people to rally around the Wookiee Liberation Front. Although it was a simple ruse, the Wookiee Liberation Front received a lot of press in the local holonewscasts, and eventually became a legitimate organization that funneled credits and supplies to help the Wookiees of Kashyyyk in their attempt to ousted the Separatist forces that were trying to take control of their homeworld.

Roosh, Drexl
This self-important Rodian scavenger was wanted by the Empire for no less than thirty-eight counts of fraud, slavery, and for selling inferior war materiel. He maintained a base of operations on the planet Raxus Prime, where he commanded a group of Rodian lieutenants and Jawa laborers. Roosh was distinguished by the purple coloration of his face, which made him stand out from his fellow Rodians. To assist with moving around the surface of Raxus Prime, Roosh wore a specialized backpack that contained a jet pack. To protect himself from the many droids found on the planet, Roosh wore a set of cobbled-together armor. During his time on Raxus Prime, Roosh found himself in constant competition with artificial intelligence of The Core, and his crews of scavengers often had to fight against droid golems that had been created by The Core to carry out the day-to-day operations on the planet. After the Imperial agent known as the Starkiller killed the former Jedi Master Kazdan Paratus, Drexl and his goons saw a rise in the Imperial presence on Raxus Prime. Drexl later explained to the Starkiller that the former Jedi's presence on the planet had been enough to keep the Empire away. However, after Paratus' death, Imperial forces moved in an established a base of operations on the planet. They reprogrammed The Core, and built an orbital shipyard near the planet, using salvaged metals and ores as construction material. This left Drexl and his band of salvagers with less and less material to acquire, forcing them into a state of poverty. He then ordered him goons to kill the Starkiller, but the Sith apprentice was too strong. In a final act, the Starkiller used the Force to activate Drexl's jetpack and send it crashing into the ground. The jetpack exploded, killing Drexl instantly.

Roothes, Memah
This Rutian Twi'lek owned and operated the Soft Heart Cantina, on the planet Coruscant, during the early years of the New Order. She considered her skin to be her best asset, and often wore short, sleeveless dresses to accentuate her appearance. This caught many patrons off-guard, and helped her gain the upper hand in certain situations.
Memah started working in the bar business as a waitress at Villynay's, shortly after the end of the Clone Wars. She purchased the Soft Heart Cantina about four years, and took over management responsibilities two years later. She poured her life into running the cantina, and was therefore devastated when it burned to the ground. She and her bouncer, Rodo, reasoned that the fire had been caused by an arsonist, so that the local real estate owners could collect on their insurance policies. Unfortunately, Memah had not taken out insurance of her own, and lost everything in the fire.
Thus, she was open to a new challenge when Neet Alamant approached with an offer to run a similar cantina aboard the first Death Star. She didn't have any specific loyalties to the Empire, but accepted the position as a service to the soldiers who defended the galaxy. She was not surprised when Rodo also accepted the offer, and the pair set out to see what the Empire had to offer. The new establishment, named the Hard Heart Cantina, quickly consumed her life, as she worked hard to make it the best cantina possible. During one of her regular shifts, Memah met Celot Ratua Dil, who caught her interest almost immediately. She did not initially believe him when he explained about his past, thinking that he was telling wild stories to capture her fancy. Their relationship continued to blossom over the following days and weeks.
Following the destruction of Despayre, Memah saw business at the Hard Heart Cantina increased dramatically. During one busy night, she found herself in the middle of a confrontation between Ratua and Nova Stihl, who recognized him as a former prisoner. Memah managed to defuse the situation, preventing any violence, and ensuring Ratua's freedom.
After the destruction of the planet Alderaan, Memah began to wonder about her loyalties. She felt in her heart that she would jump ship and join the Alliance, if the opportunity presented itself. Their opportunity came in the form of assistance from Atour Riten, who agreed to help them steal a medical shuttle and escape. Although Riten was forced to remain on the Death Star, Memah and the others were able to escape, just prior to the Death Star's destruction during the Battle of Yavin.
During their escape, Ratua revealed that he was a member of a wealthy family, who might want to meet her. Surprised by this admission, Memah agreed to meet his family, then joked that she was going to kill him for keeping this secret.

This Nosaurian, who was imposing for his race, was the Commander of the small military force maintained by the Nosaurians on their homeworld of New Plympto, during the height of the Clone Wars. In the wake of the command to execute Order 66, it was Rootrock who ordered the release of Dass Jennir, when he was captured by the small force that was accompanying Bomo Greenbark. Rootrock explained that he had been loyal to the Jedi Knights since a Jedi saved his village from invaders, many years earlier.
After much discussion, Rootrock agreed to provide Jennir a ship to return to Coruscant, in exchange for Jennir's promise to return and help the Nosaurians defend themselves against the Imperial agents who took control of New Plympto. Jennir kept his promise and returned to New Plympto, and set to work helping the Nosaurians fight back against their Imperial oppressors.
Unfortunately, the clone troopers of the newly-christened Galactic Empire were too well-armed and too numerous for the Nosaurians to defeat, even with the help of a Jedi Knight. General Rootrock was among the many casualties who were killed in the fighting.

Ropagu
This delicate, peaceful race of near-humans was native to the planet Ropagi II. They were similar to humans in height, but they have wispy, black hair that sharply contrasts with their pale skin. Their tall, thin frames were the result of generation upon generation living in the low gravity of Ropagi II. The eyes of the Ropagu were a strange pink hue. Facial hair among males was regarded as a sort of badge of honor, although the Ropagu were a peaceful race by nature. This had not always been so, for 4,000 years before the Battle of Endor there were 45 different Ropagu nations battling with each other over which was superior. The intervention of the Kalduu race saved the Ropagu from destroying not only themselves, but their planet as well. Since then, the largest conflict the Ropagu have engaged in was a series of philosophical and theoretical debates in which the loser was encouraged to find a better argument and return to the debate. At the advent of the New Order, the Ropagu had no military whatsoever, instead turning their activity toward obtaining knowledge. The Ropagu were also excellent computer technicians, and can program nearly every programmable device in the galaxy.

Ropal, Bolla
This Rodian was one of the many Jedi Masters who remained on Coruscant, during the era of the Clone Wars, to help teach younglings and monitor the progress of the war. For many years, Master Ropal served as the keeper of the Kyber crystal, protecting its information on the Force-sensitive children of the galaxy. Master Ropal was among the Jedi chosen by Mace Windu to meet with Chancellor Palpatine to discuss Jabba the Hutt's request for Jedi assistance in rescuing his offspring, Rotta. In the months that followed, Bolla Ropal was assigned to duty in the Devaron System, in the Mid Rim, where he drew upon the Force to help local farmers restore a valley to arable land. His mission was a hard one, because he was protected by a group of clone troopers who also served as laborers, but the Devaronians feared that the clones would be a harbinger of war. Master Ropal, however, assured them that the clones were needed to protect future of Devaron, not destroy the present. Unfortunately, the Republic's forces were surprised by a group of Separatist warships, an event that Master Ropal had been unable to foresee through the Force. The reason became clear when he learned that the Separatists were led by Cad Bane, who was on a mission to capture Master Ropal and the Kyber crystal he protected. Master Ropal was held aboard a Separatist frigate and brutally tortured with mind limiters and pain pulsers, and was even given a large dose of X-C33 before he was confronted by his captor. He discovered that he had been taken prisoner by Cad Bane, who had stolen a Jedi holocron and was searching for the Kyber crystal. Bane demanded that Master Ropal show him how to use the holocron to access the information on the Kyber crystal, but Master Ropal refused. Bane tortured him mercilessly, until Master Ropal's body could take no more. He died while under interrogation, forcing Cad Bane to capture another Jedi. Master Ropal's body was later recovered by Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano, so that it could be given a proper burial.

Rordan was later assigned to the frigate Mawrunner, and was among the many starfighter pilots of the Second Fleet who were dispatched to escort the Anakin Solo to a deep-space rendezvous with Corellian delegates.
The rendezvous turned out to be a trap, set up by Sadras Koyan in an attempt to assassinate Jacen Solo. The Corellians managed to fire the repulsor aboard Centerpoint Station, aiming the weapon at the rendezvous location in hopes of destroying the Anakin Solo. Although the Star Destroyer survived, the Centerpoint blast wiped out a large number of Second Fleet ships, including the Mawrunner. Rordan died in the explosion.

The Naboo established a small outpost on Rori more than 2,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, and the settlements continued to operate during the height of the New Order. However, no one could agree on who actually established the first settlements on Rori, nor could any agreement be reached on which parts of its flora and fauna were native to the moon. Some people believed that the Naboo first tried to colonize the moon, but found it too inhospitable.

Rorworr was on Naboo with his father, who was on a diplomatic mission to Naboo at the time of the Trade Federation's blockade of the planet. Following the Battle of Naboo, Rorworr went to work as a scout for the Republic, but became disgruntled when his recommendations were ignored in favor of those from his human counterparts. Following the formation of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, Rorworr became a pilot for the Alliance. He traveled in a modified A-Wing, which was equipped with enhanced sensors that allowed him to hide in an asteroid belt and track Imperial ship and troop movements. However, he grew tired of fighting, and wished to simply "get away" from the politics and return to his life as a scout. For many years, Rorworr wandered aimlessly along the galactic rim, trying to forget the death of Sia-Lan Wezz at the Battle of Skorrupon. Eventually, after the Empire was defeated at the Battle of Endor, Rorworr was offered a scout's position with the New Republic. He became something of a scouting legend, traveling in a camouflage-painted Svelte-class shuttle and participating in a variety of famous escapades.

This deformed woman, known as the Rancor, was the daughter of matriarch Zalem of the Witches of Dathomir. Zalem abandoned Ros Lai and forced her to work with the male slaves, as punishment for her ugliness. The other Witches often played practical jokes on her, and Zalem ignored them. When Quinlan Vos arrived on Dathomir, Ros Lai tried to help him. She was later shot and wounded by Yongti, during a raid of the slave pens. Ros Lai survived, but Zalem tried to kill her again, Zalem gave her a drink, after Vonya found her hiding after the raid. The drink contained a live artery worm, which Zalem hoped would consume Ros Lai's blood vessels. Despite these efforts, Ros Lai survived, and later helped Quinlan free the Kwi. Ros Lai also revealed that her deformities were actually the daughter of a Jedi Knight whose wife murdered him after using his Force talents for her own schemes. She later revealed to Quin that she was quite strong with the Dark Side of the Force, and had been maintaining her guise as "The Rancor" in order to gain the power of the Star Chamber for herself. She managed to escape from Vonya and return to her mother's side, claiming to deliver Quin as a way of "making up." In reality, Ros Lai used the ruse to get close enough to Zalem to kill her mother and avenge the death of her father. She then tried to kill Quin, but he managed to capture her and bring her to Coruscant to receive justice. Quin hoped to return her to the Light Side of the Force.

Rose Nebula
This was one of Coruscant's most well-known spas and relaxation centers, during the early years of the New Republic. Ostensibly, the facility was owned by Rose Starlight, who opened the facility during the early years of the New Order to cater to the needs of busy politicians and diplomats. However, this was a ruse, meant to throw off any beings who tried to find the truth behind the facility. In fact, the real owner was the Bothan female Rava Teb'lya, who hired a human woman to stand in and play the part of Rose Starlight. Teb'lya used the facility as a source of galaxy-wide information, employing beings with impressive skills of persuasion to lull her clientele into a relaxed state, then gently drawing out information.

This was the capital city of the planet Rosha. Like other large cities on the planet, Rosha was leveled during the early months of the New Order. The neighboring Samarians launched the initial invasion, and were supported by Imperial forces under the command of Darth Vader. Bog Divinian was later named the leader of the planet Rosha, and made it his personal task to draw up plans for rebuilding the city. He hired urban planners and designers to create an environment that fostered the technological advancement that was being demanded by the Empire.
(LJ7)
Rosha
This small planet was one of only two worlds found in the Leemurtoo System of the Core Worlds. Like its neighbor Samaria, Rosha was the homeworld of a sentient race of beings. Known as the Roshans, these humanoids were distinguished by the four antennae that were found on their heads. Also like Samaria, Rosha's economy was driven by a thriving technology development business. The Roshans were experts at microtechnologies, producing smaller and smaller devices to accomplish the same tasks.
During the Clone Wars, Rosha was allied with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, a fact that did not sit well with the Samarians. Years later, when the Roshans were falsely implicated in an assassination attempt on the life of Imperial advisor Bog Divinian, the Samarians voted to go to war with Rosha. With the help of an Imperial fleet led by Darth Vader, the Samarians razed the surface of Rosha, destroyed large sections of the planetary capital and several other major cities. In the wake of the attacks, Divinian was named the leader of both Samaria and Rosha. When Divinian was removed from power and moved to an Imperial posting, the Roshans and the Samarians learned that they had been manipulated. Both races agreed to put aside their differences and work together, and the two governments allied themselves with the growing Moonstrike resistance movement
(LJ6, LJ7, LJ10)
Roshan
This humanoid race was native to the planet Rosha. The Roshans were distinguished by four antennae that crowned their heads. These antennae were sensitive to light, and were carried flat against the head during the day. At night, the antennae rose up, giving a Roshan an enhanced ability to maneuver in the dark. As a people, Roshans were known for their microtechnology, a trait that put them at odds with their neighbors on Samaria, who were experts in the field of macrotechnology.
During the Clone Wars, the Roshans sided with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, lending them some of their technologies for use in the Separatist droid armies. This did not sit well with their neighbors on Samaria, who remained loyal to the Old Republic. Thus, when a trade agreement was proposed between the two worlds, the Samarians were initially wary of the Roshans' true intentions. Unknown to the Roshans, their plans for trade agreements were being thwarted by Emperor Palpatine himself, who feared that a marriage of Samarian and Roshan technologies could create a jamming technology that would render all Imperial droid useless.
Instead of an agreement with the Samarians, the Roshans found themselves attacked by their neighbors and subjugated under the heel of the Empire. Any resistance they might have put up was quickly smashed by stormtrooper raids, and the Roshans were unable to mount any sort of rebellion. However, once it was learned that the two worlds had been manipulated, the Samarians and the Roshans both agreed to work together, and the two governments allied themselves with the growing Moonstrike resistance movement

Roshti
This male Togruta served as the planetary governor of Kiros, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Governor Roshti and his people had abandoned the need for war, and hoped to live in peaceful contemplation of the world around them. However, the arrival of Count Dooku and a Separatist invasion force shattered their dreams, and then Roshti and the entire colony on Kiros were captured and taken to Zygerria, where they were to be sold into slavery. Roshti was separated from the other Togrutas, and kept in a pen near the Zygerrian Royal Palace, until he was rescued by Ahsoka Tano and Obi-Wan Kenobi. However, their escape was cut short when Kenobi and Governor Roshti were re-captured, although Ahsoka managed to return to her own Master, Anakin Skywalker. Kenobi and Rosthi, along with Clone Captain Rex, were sent to the slave processing center on Kadavo to be reconditioned, but their time there was cut short when Skywalker returned with a rescue mission. This rescue attempt coincided with a Separatist attack on Kadavo, delaying the rescue only briefly. The Togruta, as well as every other slave liberated from Kadavo, were returned to their home planets. Upon his return to Kiros, Governor Roshti decided that his people needed to abandon some of their pacifist ways, and learn how to defend themselves against outsiders.

Roshton
This man served as a Commander in the Army of the Republic, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Commander Roshton was assigned to accompany Kinman Doriana to Cartao, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis, to secure the facilities of Spaarti Creations for the manufacture of modern cloning cylinders. When the Separatists discovered the plan, they launched an attack on Cartao. Roshton found himself between two conflicting orders: defending Spaarti Creations from being captured, and ensuring the continued production of cloning cylinders. Faced with challenge of opposing 5,000 battle droids with just 900 troops, Roshton initially chose the former: he troops would hide inside the manufacturing facility, using it as cover despite the incredible damage a firefight inside the facility would cause. After being contacted by the Jedi guardian on Cartao, Jafer Torles, Roshton realized that there were other options he could take. He ordered his troops to move below-ground, taking the tunnels that led away from the main plant to establish positions from which they could harass the rear flanks of the Separatist forces. Roshton himself assumed the guise of a landscaper, so that he could plant remote-activated landmines around the grounds. His plans nearly worked, until his forces were trapped in an access tunnel when Separatist forces collapsed its exits. Doriana and Torles launched a daring mission to free them, only to see Spaarti Creations destroyed by a Republic gunship supposedly under the command of the Jedi Knights.

Roshu Sune
This Gotal guerilla group rose to prominence in the months preceding the Battle of Antar 4, in an attempt to force the planetary government to secede from the Old Republic. The Roshu Sune group was formed as a splinter group of the Gotal Assembly for Separation, choosing to approach secession from military point of view. It was the terrorist attacks of the Roshu Sune which led to the bloody Battle of Antar 4, but which did not obtain the desired result. Several months later, Roshu Sune agents kidnapped Gotal Emissary Nathanjo Nirrelz, and simply issued the Articles of Secession to the government of Antar 4, instead of any formal demands. Roshu Sune later announced that they would free Nirrelz in return for a signing of the Articles.

Roshuir, Kale
This man served as a Captain at the Imperial labor colony on Kalist VI, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. He was known as a no-nonsense officer who demanded the best from his subordinates. When the crew of the Nuna's Twins arrived at the planet, some eight months after the Battle of Yavin, Roshuir found himself falling in love with Deena Shan. Roshuir was unaware that Deena was actually an Alliance agent, and he took her information regarding a rebel base on Thila with complete confidence. He was assigned leadership of the mission to Thila, only to discover that the upper levels of the base were empty. Believing that the rebels had hidden underground, Roshuir dispatched Lieutenant Clynn and a detachment of stormtroopers to search the lower levels. The stormtroopers tripped a laser detection system, setting off a massive explosion that killed the entire team. Roshuir then realized that he had sent his team into a trap, and that the forces that accompanied him to Thila were no longer able to defend the facility on Kalist VI. He quickly sent a transmission back to Kalist VI, warning them of the impending rebel attack, then took the fastest transport in his group to return to Kalist VI. There, he confronted Deena about her treachery, and would have killed her if Harran hadn't knocked him unconscious, allowing the rebel agents to escape.

Ross
This was the nickname of one of the clone troopers who were assigned to Torrent Company, during the early stages of the Clone Wars, after the original company was nearly wiped out on Teth. Despite the fact that Ross and his new comrades had not yet seen a lot of combat, they became fast friends, and they were able to bond while on a layover when the Torrent Company was assigned to the shakedown cruise of the refitted Leveler. Their new company was forced into combat duty when the Leveler was diverted to JanFathal to rescue Hallena Devis from Separatist-backed rebels. During their escape, Ross discovered that Vulture droids that were operating in waling mode could be attacked and disabled from close range, because their targetting systems were only useful when the head of the droid could actually see its target.

This Corellian pilot and freighter owned the battered YT-1300 Kierra, which he had outiftted with a sophisticated computer he nicknamed Kierra. Thaddeus himself was a former bounty hunter who returned to the smuggling occupation which had been in his family's blood for many generations. As the computer in his developed its own personality, they developed a mother-son kind of relationship, with Kierra constantly nagging Thaddeus and making sure he was okay. Kierra filled a void in Thaddeus' life whiich had been formed when Saahir Ru'luv broke off their three-year relationship. Later, while smuggling weapons to the Alliance from Merich's Bend, Saahir died in Thaddeus' arms. The Empire had discovered the base, and raided it before all personnel could be evacuated. When he took a job transporting Adalric Brandl to Trulalis, Ross got caught up in an Imperial operation to recover the Dark Jedi. They were ambushed on Trulalis by Menges, and Ross fled the planet with Brandl. They were intercepted just outside of Trulalis by Imperial Captain Grendahl, who had been sent by High Inquisitor Tremayne to recover Brandl. Grendahl held Ross for questioning, but eventually let him go with a 10,000 credit "reward."
(TFE, SWJ4, SWJ15)
Rosset
This Imperial Moff served on the Moff Council during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Moff Rosset was one of the few who argued against accepting Jacen Solo's offer, in which he agreed to turn over the worlds of Borleias and Bilbringi if the Imperial Navy would join the Galactic Alliance on a mission to capture the shipyards of Fondor. Moff Rosset's arguments were echoed by those of Gilad Pellaeon, and centered on the fact that the Imperial Remnant could probably capture Bilbringi and Borleias on their own, with minimal effort, without making any hard commitments to the Galactic Alliance. Ultimately, though, Rosset and the other Moffs agreed to accept Solo's offer, provided that they were given a complete briefing on the mission profile beforehand.
At the Second Battle of Fondor, Moff Rosset was one of several Moffs who assumed military roles in the naval forces that supported the Galactic Alliance. Aboard the flagship Bloodfin, Moff Rosset watched in disbelief as Cha Niathal was forced to relieve Jacen Solo of his command, when Solo set off to bombard the cities of Fondor from orbit. Their split forced the Galactic Alliance commanders to take sides in the power struggle, with the Imperial fleet forced to stand down until it became clear who was actually in command.
After Pellaeon was assassinated by Tahiri Veila aboard the Bloodfin, Rosset and the other Moffs tried to take control of the ship, but her crew mutinied upon learning of the Admiral's death. Led by Vitor Reige, the crew forced the Moffs to lock themselves in the ship's command center, where they hid until the ship was boarded by Boba Fett and his Mandalorian supercommandos. Fett had been hired by Admiral Daala for just such a contingency, and they infiltrated the command center and killed anyone who put up any resistance. Rosset was among the dead, as were the other Moffs who supported Moff Quille.

Rostu
This was one of the many nomadic Korunnai tribes, known as ghosh, which were native to the planet Haruun Kal. The Rostu were one of several small tribes which allied themselves with the Windu ghosh for protection.
(SHPT)
Rostu, Nick
This Korunnai man was one of the many who joined the Upland Liberation Front, during the height of the Clone Wars. When Jedi Master Depa Billaba began leading the ULF, Nick was the person she dispatched to Pelek Baw to intercept Mace Windu, should the other Jedi Master come looking for her. Rostu missed Windu several times before eventually rescuing him, then escorted the Jedi Master into the jungles. Nick earned Windu's trust by displaying Master Billaba's own lightsaber as evidence of his fealty. Despite his obvious association with ULF, Nick maintained that he was fighting the war for the money he could earn. Although he acknowledged his Korun ancestry, he proclaimed to want nothing more than to leave Haruun Kal and explore the galaxy. This was, of course, mainly talk that Nick used to distance himself from his own feelings. Deep down inside, he wanted to see the Korunnai regain control of their planet. He later revealed to Master Windu that he had helped Depa Billaba and Kar Vastor set up the gruesome message of death that had been discovered by the Old Republic, and that he himself had provided the tip to the Republic's Intelligence agency.
Later, when Vastor attacked a group of Balawai prospectors under Windu's protection, Nick agreed to take four of the Balawai children under he protection. When Master Windu witnessed Nick's bravery in defying Vastor to care for the children, he decided to invite Nick to join the Army of the Republic, bestowing the rank of brevet Major. Nick then assisted Master Windu in the attempt to capture Pelek Baw so that they could defeat the Balawai and their Separatist supporters. While defending the droid control bunker from attack by Kar Vastor's Akk Guards, Nick suffered a devastating chest injury from Iolu's vibroshields. Despite the injury, Nick managed to save Master Windu from an attack from Depa Billaba, who had been trying to free the Korunnai through sheer willpower. When Depa tried to slice Windu with her lightsaber, Nick managed to grab a blaster and shoot the lightsaber from her hand.
His luck continued to hold, as Nick was rescued from Haruun Kal and brought to Coruscant for treatment. Nick refused any cosmetic surgery to repair his wounds, preferring to keep the scars as a reminder to never let his guard down. Master Windu made sure that his brevet Major rank was confirmed with the Army of the Republic, and submitted that Nick be awarded the Silver Medal of Valor for his part in ending the Summertime War. When he recovered, Nick was given command of the 44th Division, which became known as Rostu's Renegades. However, when the GAR was reformed into the Army of the Empire, Nick found himself facing a simple choice: swear allegiance to the Empire or face an execution squad.
Rather than submit to Imperial control, and refusing to be shot, Nick fought his way to freedom, but he killed Colonel Majjen, the Imperial officer who had confronted him during his escape. Thus, he went from being a war hero to a wanted criminal in a matter of hours. After finding out that the Empire had placed a death mark on his head, Nick fled into the underworld of Coruscant, where he found himself defending a Kitonak family from a Trandoshan thug named either Cruncher or Crusher. After disposing of the thug, the Kitonaks introduced him to the growing rebel movement known as Whiplash, and Nick agreed to join them in their quest to undermine the Empire. It was on a Whiplash mission that Nick discovered the broken and dying body of Jedi Master Even Piell, and agreed to relay information on the Jedi Master's mission to Jax Pavan.
Finding Jax proved to be easier than Nick believed it would be, when he intercepted a group of stormtroopers who were tracking down the former Jedi. Over a sulyet meal, Nick relayed the information he had obtained from Master Piell, regarding the search for the rogue droid 10-4TO, otherwise known as Bug-Eyes. Nick even volunteered to help Jax carry out the search, but understood when Jax said that it was a mission he had to carry out by himself. In an effort to unwind after these events, Nick decided to play a game of shronker in one of the local arcades. Although he won the game, it distracted him enough that agents sent by Haninum Tyk Rhinann were able to sneak up on him and take him captive.
Nick regained consciousness aboard the Far Ranger, and Drach Coven explained the situation. In a matter of minutes, Nick had been turned over to Rhinann's master, Darth Vader, who offered Nick a single choice: locate Jax Pavan or die. To emphasize his ability to carry out the threat, Vader used the Force to dig into Nick's mind, dredging up images of the things that scared him the most. Nick was forced to agree to the deal, and was given control of the Far Ranger to carry out his search for Pavan. He carried out the mission, but he found himself regretting each and every action he carried out in order to catch up with Pavan.
The search led Nick to rejoin Jax during his search for 10-4TO, deep in the Factory District of Coruscant. Nick's search brought him suddenly into contact with Prince Xizor and Kaird, who had already found 10-4TO and issued the verbal command to assume control of the droid. Xizor ordered the droid to stop Nick, which it did by grabbing him by the arms. When Xizor turned his attention to Jax, Nick used the verbal code phrase to momentarily control 10-4TO. He ordered the droid to release and protect the Jedi, but Nick was too slow to avoid Xizor's backhanded slap. As he landed against a wall, Nick felt a sharp pain in his chest, which he soon learned was caused by the huge shard of transparisteel he had fallen against. As he passed into unconsciousness, Nick told Jax about everything that had happened, so that the other man would be aware of Vader's search for him. After Jax and the others managed to escape from Xizor, Jax asked I-5YQ to recover Nick's body so that it could receive a proper burial. However, I-5YQ discovered that the transparisteel shard had missed piercing his heart, and that Nick was still barely alive. They carefully transported his body to a medical center, where Nick was able to recover from the injury.
Years later, Rostu was the individual who recommended that Luke Skywalker contact Lorz Geptun, during Skywalker's search for the truth about the Battle of Mindor. Rostu had spent the years following the Clone Wars searching for Dark Side adherents and other beings, hoping to undermine the efforts of Emperor Palpatine. It was during this time that he met Aeona Cantor, and fell in love with the woman. They were on the trail of Lord Cronal, and would have captured the man if the team hadn't been stranded on Mindor. Cronal turned the tables and captured Nick instead. Cronal then used meltmassif stone implants to take control of Nick's mind and body, and he turned Nick into the public agent of chaos known as Lord Shadowspawn. During the months following the Battle of Endor, Shadowspawn began a reign of terror that ended at the Battle of Mindor, where Cronal hoped that Skywalker would turn to the Dark Side and become the next Emperor. Cronal's visions of the future indicated that Skywalker would kill Nick, to put an end to Lord Shadowspawn's reign, but instead he punched Nick in the forehead, cracking the mletmassif crystal matrix and shutting off the deadman switch in his brain. Thus freed, Nick agreed to help Luke locate Cronal and bring him to justice. During a break in their search for Cronal, Nick revealed everything he knew about Luke's father, Anakin Skywalker, including some stories that were told in the media, but about which Nick had no knowledge.
Their search for Luke's sister, Leia Organa, brought them to the Millennium Falcon, but Leia and Han Solo were nowhere to be found. However, Nick was surprised and relieved to learn that Aeona Cantor and her rebels had stolen the ship. Their reunion was brief, as the Imperials on Mindor located the ship and tried to bomb it out of existence. While Nick believed that Luke was the only person who could defeat Cronal, he worried about the fact that Cronal had captured Kar Vastor years before, and was using the massive man as his agent, in place of Nick. Aeona believed that Vastor was innocent, at least in this situation, but Nick was only worried that Luke might not be strong enough to defeat him. After Lord Cronal separated the Shadow Base from Mindor and tried to escape, Nick and Aeona were able to locate Cronal's secret shuttle and make their own escape, thereby preventing Cronal from leaving the base without confronting Luke Skywalker. When the fighting was over, Nick and Aeona returned to the Taspan System in search of survivors. They discovered a beacon that was being transmitted by R2-D2, and connected the shuttle to the asteroid in which Luke had survived the destruction of Mindor. With Luke was Kar Vastor, who agreed to join Nick and Aeona in their search for Dark Siders in the galaxy. Despite Luke's assurances about Lord Cronal's fate, Nick had a suspicion that the man had survived his exposure to hyperspace, and set out to ensure that Cronal never gained the power and strength to return to the galaxy.

Rotta
This diminutive Hutt was the son of Jabba the Hutt, born during the yeasr leading up to the Clone Wars. Just ten years old at the time, Rotta had been taken from Jabba's pouch so that he could experience the criminal underworld of the galaxy for himself. Because of his relationship to Jabba, Rotta was secretly kidnapped by the Separatists during the era of the Clone Wars. Count Dooku hoped to secure the rights to Hutt-controlled hyperspace lanes, and to discredit the Jedi Order, by implicating the Jedi in Rotta's kidnapping. Jabba furthered this plan by calling for Jedi assistance in locating his son. The Jedi Council was forced to send Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, to rescue Rotta in order to prevent Count Dooku from reaching an accord with the Hutts and gaining access to their hyperspace routes. Jabba himseld agreed to back either the Galactic Republic or the Confederacy of Independent Systems, depending on which side of the conflict managed to rescue Rotta.
Skywalker's mission brought the Jedi to a monastery on the planet Teth, where they were able to locate Rotta. Unfortunately, the trip from Jabba's residence on Tatooine left Rotta with an illness that threatened his life. In order to safely get the Huttlet out of the monastery, Ahsoka Tano carried Rotta out in a clone trooper backpack. Rotta struggled throughout the rescue, and recordings made by the espionage droid 4A-7 were later used by Count Dooku as "evidence" that proved the two Jedi had kidnapped Rotta. Dooku presented this "evidence" to Jabba himself, hoping to sway the Hutt crimelord to join the Separatist cause.
The Jedi attempted to get Rotta off Teth, but were dogged by Asajj Ventress and her battle droids. All but six members of the 501st Torrent Company were killed while making sure Skywalker and Tano escaped with Rotta, but word of their escape reached the ears of Count Dooku. Dooku tried to confront Skywalker, but the younger man had already sent Tano to Jabba's palace with Rotta. At the palace, Tano was apprehended on suspicion of carrying explosives into the palace, but she was set free when Skywalker explained that she was carrying Rotta. The Huttlet was then returned to his father, but Jabba refused to let Skywalker go free until he had learned from Senator Padme' Amidala that Ziro the Hutt and Count Dooku had been behind Rotta's kidnapping.

When he realized that Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were aboard Outbound Flight, Darth Sidious adopted his guise as Chancellor Palpatine and traveled to Roxuli. Ostensibly, he was there to enlist the aid of Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth, but he was aware that C'baoth would never cede control over Outbound Flight.

Royal Imperial Guard
The red-armored protectors of the Emperor, these servants were specially-trained stormtroopers who met certain physical and emotional characteristics. No one had ever discovered exactly how many guards made up the Royal Guard. They were trained on the barren world of Yinchorr, where they learned that deadly art of Echani and often fought to the death against their fellow trainees in order to prove their loyalty to Emperor Palpatine. Their red armor was based on two unique designs: that of the Mandalorian Death Watch and the Thyrsian Sun Guards.
Following the death of Emperor Palpatine in the Battle of Endor, many members of the Royal Imperial Guard committed mass suicide, while others joined various groups affiliated with Emperor Palpatine's former Dark Side allegiances. Those survivors who chose to remain in Imperial service made a change to their robes. A hem of black was added to the bottom of their robes, indicating that they were mourning the death of Palpatine. Even after the mandatory year of mourning had passed, the black hem remained as an homage to the dead Emperor.
When Palpatine reappeared, in body of one of his clones, on the planet Byss, the surviving Royal Imperial Guard returned to his side. When the clones were destroyed by the treacherous guard Carnor Jax, many of the Guards were killed as well. The survivors gathered on Yinchorr, and were told of Carnor Jax's treachery against the Palpatine clones. Jax then attacked the Yinchorr compound, eliminating all the Royal Guards except for Kir Kanos and Kile Hannad. Hannad died, fighting back Jax's troops so that Kanos could escape to plan revenge for Jax's treason. Jax was eventually hunted down and destroyed by Kir Kanos.

After the Zygerrian Slavers Guild was smashed by the Jedi Knights, the Zygerrian people were unable to host the auction, and it faded nearly to obscurity until the years leading up to the Clone Wars, when the Most High Queen struck a deal with the Separatist. The Zygerrians had been building up their collection of slaves to be sold in concert with the Separatists, taking entire populations from planets that had been contested by the Separatists and the Republic. The Separatists would later claim that the natives had been killed by Republic forces in the fighting, as part of Count Dooku's galaxy-wide propaganda effort. The first of these populations, and the highlight of the first Royal Slave Auction in thousands of years, was the Togruta population that was taken from Kiros.

Roz tried to talk him out of it, but her words were not enough to turn him away from the job. Resigned to watching him leave, Roz gave Jango all the information she knew about Komari Vosa and the Bando Gora. Unknown to both Rozatta and Jango Fett, the message from Tyranus was also received by Montross. Rozatta continued to help Jango during the search, providing snippets of information and running searches and tests while Jango was in the field. Unfortunately, Montross managed to stay one step ahead of Jango, and set out to destroy any chance Jango had of finding the Bando Gora. To accomplish this, Montross traveled to the Outland station after being defeated by Jango on Malastare. He killed Rozatta and set a series of thermal charges to destroy the station, hoping that Jango would return to rescue Rozatta. Jango did return, and Rozatta managed to give him a datacard with information on the Bando Gora.

Fooled by it all, Rozhdenst and Wonn Uzalg agreed to ensure Kuat had an accident, thereby installing Kodir herself as the leader of KDY. However, there plans were crushed when Kuat began destroying the shipyards, rather than letting them fall into the hands of anyone else. Rozhdenst ordered the Scavengers to board as many of the capital ships under construction as they could to rescue them from the destruction. Many were saved, but many more were lost.

R-PK Series Droid
This was a series of surveillance droids that was produced by Cybot Galactica, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. The R-PK series, also known as the recon-PK or simply the rolo-droid, was the brainchild of noted droid developer Naftrat Odarr. Based on the ubiquitous PK-series of labor droids, the R-PK took advantage of the labor droid's seeming innocence to insinuate itself into all manner of locations, where they could record both audio and video information on their surroundings.
The only design element that was retained from the baseline PK-series droid was its cranium, which was attached at the neck to a squat chassis that contained a single, spherical wheel. The cranium was packed with enhanced sensor systems and recording tehcnologies, as well as enough programming to allow the droid to focus its activities on specific locations. The uni-wheel drive mechanism gave the R-PK series incredible mobility, allowing it to get into and out of tight spaces with relative ease.
The use of R-PK series droids was not limited to corporate or political arenas, as many of these droids were purchased by crimelords and mercenaries. The Hutts were known to have used recon-PK units in their slave communities on Tatooine, until it was discovered that young Anakin Skywalker was re-programming them to all slaves to escape.

RST-series Droid
This model of translator droid was produced by Plintep Cybernetics, and was given a distinctly female shape and personality. This was mainly because the males of Mephout society were quite tempermental, and Plintep didn't want to have that impression ladeled upon the RST-series.

This silver protocol droid was abandoned in the city of Grig, on the planet Narg. In order to survive, it allied itself with the farmer and conman, Biull Sangtwo. Sangtwo discovered that the droid had a SureDeal-R bargaining and negotiating module in its brain, and decided to put the droid to use. Together, they roamed the streets of Narg Starport, looking for unsuspecting off-worlders. When a suitable "victim" was found, RT-56/X would plead with them to remove it from its "cruel master's service" as a farm drudge.

Ruin, Darth
Once known as Phanius, this former Umbaran Jedi Master left the Jedi Order with some fifty other Jedi about 1,000 years before the Battle of Ruusan, and established what many historians considered to be the new brotherhood of the Sith. During his tenure with the Jedi, Phanius acquired a great deal of knowledge about the ancient Sith arts, and left the Order to pursue his studies of "alternative knowledge." His departure was abrupt enough that he became known as one of the Lost, as recognized by the Jedi Order, causing many non-Jedi historians to believe that the Jedi Order was unaware of the fact that their former member had become a new Dark Lord of the Sith.
The efforts of Darth Ruin to revive the Sith teachings and lore were generally believed to have laid the foundation for the later actions of Lord Kaan and Darth Bane. He spent many years insinuating himself into various Sith clans, then worked to unite them under his own rule. Darth Ruin and his followers slowly began to recruit new members, and eventually felt they were strong enough to attack the Jedi Order. Despite the teachings of Darth Ruin, these new Sith were unable to defeat the Jedi, and countless numbers died in pursuit of Ruin's dream of domination. Despite the heavy losses, Darth Ruin continued to train new accolytes and throw them at the Jedi, all in pursuit of his own goals.
This led many of his stronger followers to question his beliefs and those of the Sith, and they came to realize that they were little more than pawns in Darth Ruin's game of galactic conquest. Rather than continue to sacrifice themselves for one being's desires, these followers eventually destroyed Darth Ruin, ending his control of the new Sith order and ushering in a millennium of chaos and betrayal.

According to the Cosmic Balance and the leadership of the Zanazi, the Rule of Feather and Bowl was established to ensure the balance of the galaxy was maintained at the level of individual families. Families who worshipped the Cosmic Balance strived to have their children in pairs, as befitting an even-numbered - and, thus, balanced - family unit. During their teenage years, the two children were given aptitude tests. The more promising child received a white feather, while the other received a golden bowl.

The Rule of the Strong was finally abandoned in the wake of the Light and Darkness War and the Battle of Ruusan, when Lord Kaan and his followers were obliterated by their thought bomb.

Rule of Two
This was the name, originally defined by Darth Bane and later used by the Jedi Order, to describe the basic tenet of the new order of Sith Lords. This rule was implemented in the wake of the Battle of Ruusan, when the Brotherhood of Darkness was wiped out by Lord Kaan's use of a thought bomb. Only Darth Bane was able to fully survive the attack, having orchestrated Kaan's use of the thought bomb as a way to sweep away the Brotherhood, thereby scouring the galaxy of weak Sith Lords.
Bane came to understand the need to implement the Rule of Two after spending time in the Rakatan Temple on Lehon, where he was able to learn much from the Sith Holocron hidden in the Temple. He realized that the Sith were not meant to be a brotherhood of equals. Instead, the internal strife that Lord Kaan ahd tried to eliminate was the most useful tool for culling out the weak and ensuring that only the strongest of the Sith survived. Under the Rule of Two, there could only be two Sith in power at any time in the galaxy: a Master and an apprentice. Adherence to this rule would ensure that the Sith never became the dissolute mob they were during the Light and Darkness War, but could grow strong in secrecy until they had enough power to take control of the galaxy. In its simplest form, the Rule of Two stated "Two there should be; no more, no less. One to embody the power, the other to crave it."
The Rule of Two was observed for centuries, culminating in the ascension to power of Darth Sidious and his apprentice, Darth Vader, in the wake of the Clone Wars. After the death of Sidious and Vader at the Battle of Endor, the true Sith in the galaxy were eliminated, and the Rule of Two was forgotten.

Rulebook
This slang term was used by many beings who lived in criminal organizations, and referred to a blaster weapon. It derived from the phrase "making your own rules" by taking the law into your own hands and enforcing it at blaster-point.
(PG3)
Rules of Engagement
This doctrine, developed by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic, discussed the many ways in which a situation could be addressed by a Jedi in the field. The fifth rule stated that a Jedi must understand the dark and light in all things. The sixth stated a Jedi must learn to see things accurately. The seventh rule required the Jedi to open his or her eyes to what was not evident in the situation. The eighth rule urged the Jedi to exercise caution, even in trivial matters.

Rules of Law
This was the common, and more simple name used to describe the Rules of Law for the Domains of Triton.
(OWS)
Rules of Law for the Domains of Triton
This was the title of the combined set of laws and regulations that had to be obeyed by any visitors to the moons of the planet Triton. These laws were established by the religious acolytes who lived in the system, and while many were quite simplistic or silly, others were quite serious. For new starship captains, finding the serious laws amongst all the tripe was sometimes difficult. One of the primary rules was the prohibition of stimulants of any kind. Several laws were set aside to ban alcohol, music, and games, for fear that they might cause beings to stray from the words of Gactimus. These kinds of laws were enforced to the letter, and several spacers were arrested for possession of alcohol when it was learned that they had consumed alcohol aboard their ships before setting foot on a Triton moon. When word of this strictness got out, many spacers stopped traveling through the Domains of Triton, forcing the insectile beings to back off some of their more adamant enforcement practices. Because the insects were constantly trying to adjust to the galaxy around them, the Rules of Law changed quite often, although most insect hosts were quick to offer an explanation of the changes to any spacer who arrived on the moon. The largest set of changes was made during the early years of the New Order, after Shandy Fanaso took advantage of the laws to established Shandy's Place, a full-service cantina that was completely contained within his ship, the Corellian Gambit. In all, fourty-three changes were implemented to prevent Fanaso from making any more profit at the expense of the insects.
(OWS)
Rules of the Blade

(UANT)
Ruling Circle
This was the name given to the leadership of the Chiss Ascendancy. Each of the ruling families supplied a representative to the Ruling Circle, thereby ensuring that no one family could have a majority over any others. The membership of the Ruling Circle could change, as there were no provisions in Chiss culture for the continued existence of any single ruling family. At various points in the history of the Chiss civilization, the number of ruling families numbered as many as twelve families, and as few as three. During the final decades of the Old Republic, there were nine ruling families. This number was reduced to four in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy.
(DN1, OF)
Ruling Council
This New Republic governmental body was originally part of the Provisional government. Much of its power had been dispersed during Leia Organa-Solo's tenure as Chief of State, as the Senate began to create fully-function councils. The primary power retained by the Ruling Council was the ability to remove a Chief of State who had become too powerful. This power had never been used, until the Yevethan Purge forced them to consider Leia's presidency.
(SOL)
Ruling Council
This was the name used to describe Kamino's primary governing body.
(IWE2)
Ruling Families
This was the term used to describe the ruling families of the Chiss Ascendency. Each family was equally represented in the Ruling Circle of the Chiss government, although they went to great lengths to ensure that family identity was eliminated wherever possible. The leaders of the Chiss did not use names, but instead wore colorful robes to distinguish themselves. This helped ensure that decisions were reached in a fair and equitable method. The number of Ruling Families was not constant, and was often determined by several political and military factors. At various points during the history of the Chiss, there were as many as twelve - and as few as threee - ruling families. During the final years of the Old Republic, there were ninth Ruling families. In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, there were just four.
(SQ, OF)
Ruling Power
This was the name given to the government of the planet Euceron. The Ruling Power spent much of its budget on the planetary security force that maintained control on the planet, therby ensuring that the population was repressed enough to disregard thoughts of rebellion. The Ruling Power was made up of ten members, each of which had a vote in the formation of laws and regulations. Each member went simply by the name 'Ruler', with their position on the council added on (Ruler Three, for example). Much of the Ruling Power's activities were meant to intimidate the Eucerons into obeying the law, with little regard for individual freedoms.
(JQ3)
Ruling Synod
This was the primary group of leaders of the planet Bakura, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, General Grievous received assistance from an unknown informant about the Ruling Synod's plans and meetings, and was able to kill the entire Ruing Synod in one swift attack. News of this event was carefully covered up by the Galactic Republic, in order to minimize any panic or uproar that would have further destabilized the Republic.

Ru'luv, Saahir
This Twi'lek female was a noted singer and entertainer who often worked at the Orange Lady Tavern on Corellia. She was also a contact for the Alliance's weapons smugglers in the area. During her early career, she fell in love with Thaddeus Ross, and the two remained together for three years before she broke off the relationship. She turned her attention to Juri Marbra, and the two planned to get married when Saahir asked Thaddeus to run some weapons for the Alliance. She was fatally wounded when the Empire discovered the location of the Alliance's base at Merich's Bend, and raided the facility. Thaddeus managed to recover her body, but she died in his arms shortly afterward. Before she passed away, Saahir made Thaddeus swear to go to the moon of Isamu with someone he really cared for, to forgive her for her breaking off of their relationship.
(SWJ15)
Ruluwoor, Chertyl
This sterile female Selonian was sent to the Corellian Security Force for cross-training, as a sort of cultural exchange. She was in CorSec about the time Corran Horn was serving on the force. Chertyl was tall - nearly 2 meters or more - and had short, dark black fur that flashed silvery-blue in the right light. When it came time for the annual Awards Ball, the Corellian humans had targetted her as the winner of their annual pool. This pool chose the least-likely female to get a date for the ball, and "awarded" her to the winner of the pool. Corran liked Chertyl, and secretly bought up all the pool tickets, claiming that she would steal the hearts of the other officers. Thus, he won the pool, and got to take Chertyl to the Ball. He showed her the time of her life. Although she was infertile, she wasn't incapable, as Corran found out following the Ball. They shared a wonderful evening in each others' arms, but the morning brought a startling revelation. Chertyl's flesh actually began to burn from contact with Corran's acidic sweat, and Corran discovered he was allergic to her fur. They were forced to cut off their physical relationship, but remained friends from then on.
(WG)
Rumahn
This man served as Gilad Pellaeon's First Lieutenant aboard the Leveler, during the era of the Clone Wars. Pellaeon liked having Rumahn as his staff, because the Lieutenant knew how to balance the needs of the crew with the needs of the military. Pellaeon once described Rumahn's application of military regulations as "kindly", knowing when to bend the rules without getting into trouble. When the Leveler was diverted to rescue Hallena Devis from JanFathal, Rumahn was both surprised and uncomfortable when Pellaeon asked for his recommendation on how to proceed, after the ship was discovered by Separatist a warship. Rumahn knew that Devis and Pellaeon had a relationship, and initially gave what he thought was the kindly answer, to stay and make sure Devis was rescued. When Pellaeon pressed him, however, Rumahn answered honestly, claiming that he would have left the system at the first sign of trouble. Pellaeon then explained that they were staying near JanFathal, because no one - regardless of status or relationship - should be left behind. Unfortunately, Pellaeon found himself taking Rumahn's recommendation when shipboard sensors revealed that the incoming warship had more firepower than the Leveler. The ship jumped into hyperspace, but Pellaeon planned to jump back to JanFathal as soon as possible.

The New Republic had provided X-Wings to escort the company's cargo ships, but military demands forced the Republic to recall the X-Wings. The pirates turned out to be Xalto Sneerzick and his followers, but they were ultimately foiled by Rumbo's "marines."

Rune
This was the alias used by one of two Almas Academy Jedi - the other was simply known as Nute - who approached Yara Grugara about doing an interview on the current state of the galaxy, in the wake of the Clone Wars and the formation of the first Galactic Empire. The two Jedi, under visual and audio anonymity, tried to explain why the balance of the Force had been upset by the rise to power of Emperor Palpatine. Rune's position was that the Jedi Order may have brought about its own destruction by refusing to acknowledge that the Force had a Light Side and a Dark Side. By teaching Padawans only about the Light Side, the Jedi created an artificial imbalance in the Force. Rune became upset when Nute tried to deflect this line of reasoning as unnecessarily fatalistic, especially when Yara questioned whether or not the Jedi should have taught their students more about the Sith. When Rune agreed with this statement, Nute boisterously disagreed, which further raised Rune's emotions. Nute then tried to explain that the Jedi were only concerned with doing was was right, and Rune's emotional control broke. He drew on power from the Dark Side of the Force and tried to strangle Nute, and Yara was powerless to intervene. The broadcast ended with Rune screaming at Nute about balance, as Nute struggled to draw a breath.

He placed his image within a computerm and left it on standby, waiting for the Jedi to return. When Luke Skywalker discovered the Portal sometime after the Battle of Yavin, Rur demanded information on the Jedi. Luke told him that a great deal of time had passed since the creation of the Portal, and that Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader had purged the galaxy of the Jedi. The computer which generated Rur's image was unable to reconcile the huge gulf of time that elapsed, or the fact that the Jedi was gone. The computer overloaded and exploded, destroying the last vestiges of Rur.

After Darth Krayt deposed Emperor Roan Fel and took control of the galaxy in the name of the Sith, Moff Rus was one of the many Imperials who recognized that the balance of power in the galaxy had shifted significantly. He chose to secretly join the Sith, and became one of the Sith Order's leading informants. He proved to be invaluable when, seven years later, it was learned that Emperor Fel's daughter, Marasiah, was hiding in an Imperial Mission on Socorro. Moff Rus transferred any communications he had with the Socorro Mission to Darth Krayt, who hatched a plan to flush out Princess Fel in order to force her father to reveal himself.
Many of the other Moffs questioned Rus' loyalty to the Moff High Council, and several believed to be a spy working for Roan Fel.

Rutan
Several centuries before the Battle of Naboo, the natives of this temperate planet decided to relieve the pressures of a growing population by colonizing the planet's primary neighbor, Senali. In a violent and catastrophic civil war, Senali won its independence in a stunning upset. However, the war left both worlds devastated. The government of Rutan agreed to recognize Senali as a unique world, and both agreed to work together for peace. In an effort to continue the peace, it was agreed that the first-born child of each generation of the ruling houses on both worlds would travel to the other world once they reached the age of seven. They would remain on the other planet for nine years, learning about the other society. During this time, the children were allowed to receive visitors from, and occasionally visit, their homeworld, so that they never forgot their heritage. At the age of sixteen, the youths were allowed to return home in preparation for taking over as ruler of their homeworld. Another member of the royal family moved to the other world until the next generation was born. This arrangement worked well for many years, until the Rutanians sold information on the Senali to the Yuuzhan Vong. The alien invaders utterly devastated Senali, wiping out the civilization and much of the planet's surface before turning their attack to the Rutanians as well. Those Rutanians who weren't killed in the attack were enslaved by the Yuuzhan Vong.

Rutanian
This race of green-eyed, blue-skinned humanoids was native to the planet Rutan. The average Rutanian stood more than a meter taller than a human, and was muscularly strong. They were known as hunters, and the hides they produced were renowned throughout the galaxy. They bred many of the native Rutan creatures on special preserves, where the beasts were maintained in order to produce exquisite pelts and furs. The aggressive Rutanians considered their cousins, the Senalis, to be primitives, lacking any form of cohesive society. Despite their differences, a sort of peace was achieved several years before the Battle of Naboo. This arrangement worked well for many years, until the Rutanians sold information on the Senali to the Yuuzhan Vong. The alien invaders utterly devastated Senali, wiping out the civilization and much of the planet's surface before turning their attack to eliminate most of the Rutanians as well. The few survivors were taken away and enslaved.

He continued to work toward exploiting the stygium crystals found on Maramerer in the development of cloaking devices for Trade Federation warships, unaware that both Sixxa and the Feeorin mercenary Nym were hunting down the Federation. Once he learned of their efforts, Ruuk tried to lure them into a trap. Unfortunately, Ruuk and the Trade Federation were unprepared for Nym's insane tactics. The Feeorin rammed the Sunrunner into Ruuk's cutter, destroying both ships and killing all the Neimoidians. Ruuk perished in the explosion.

(HSL, HT, UANT)
Ruurian
This unusual alien race was native to the planet Ruuria and its 143 colonies. The caterpillar-like Ruurians passed through three unique stages during their lives. First, they were hatched from eggs into a larval stage, when they resembled multi-legged caterpillars. Six stubby legs supported the Ruurian's body, while ten spindly arms allowed a Ruurian an incredible range of dexterity. Each of the legs had four mutually-opposable fingers, with the exception of the rearmost pair of legs, which ended in a blunt "foot". They also had fine, wide antennae on top of their heads, and large, multifaceted red eyes. The larval Ruurians were the most creative and intelligent of their race, and performed the various tasks required to run their planet. The second stage of life was a pupal stage, in which the larva spun a cocoon around themselves and transformed themselves in beautiful, though utterly mindless, chroma-wing fliers. This was the third and final stage of Ruurian development, but it was also the most stagnant. The chroma-wing fliers only existed to eat, fly, and mate. They were single-minded creatures with no inclination to work. Thus, it fell to the larval members of Ruurian society to tend to the chroma-wing fliers and protect the pupae, in order to preserve and perpetuate their race.

Ruusan
This planet, the third world in the Hoth's Brand System, was located in the Colonies region of the galaxy, just over four days' journey from Onderon. The planet, which was orbited by three moons, was located along the boundary if the Inner Rim, making strategically important for the Old Republic as a gateway between the Core and the galactic frontier. Thus, the planet became the site of the decisive battles between Lord Kaan and the Brotherhood of Darkness and Lord Hoth and the Army of Light, during the last stages of the New Sith Wars. The struggle, known as the Battle of Ruusan, encomapssed seven distinct battles that ended with both armies being obliterated by the Sith thought bomb. Only one being survived, the Sith Lord Darth Bane.
Much of the planet's surface was destroyed by the intense Force battles waged by the combatants, and the damage took many centuries to repair itself. The sudden loss of the forests that once covered the planet led to changes in the planet's ecosystem, including a loss of heat that led to intense winters that covered large portions of the planet in blankets of snow. In addition to these ecological changes, the planet changed in other ways. The site of the explosion of the thought bomb became a nexus of Force energy, with the Light Side and the Dark Side swirling around and causing unnatural changes to the environment. Those beings who survived the Battle of Ruusan eked out a meager existence, although food of all sorts was scarce. Entire species of plant and animal life died out as the planet's temperature dropped. The natives hated the Sith for bringing the war to Ruusan, but they hated the Jedi Order for allowing the thought bomb to be detonated, thereby destroying their homeworld.
When the Jedi returned to Ruusan, some ten years after the war, to erect a monument to the fallen Jedi, any natives were not happy with them. The monument, which was built from stones that had been gathered from the homeworlds of the fallen Jedi, was championed by Tarsus Valorum and Johun Othone, and it was Othone who personanly oversaw its construction. By the time of the New Order, Ruusan was a forgotten world that served as the base of operations for many independent spacers and merchants.
For many generations, the planet's three moons were known as the Triplets. In the wake of the Battle of Ruusan, the survivors came to refer to them as the Three Sisters. The planet was the homeworld of an unusual form of sentient life. Resembling large, rubbery balls, the native bouncers had specialized flaps of skin that allowed them to catch the wind and help change the direction of their movements. A collection of tentacles were held close their bodies when in motion, but could be unfurled for use in catching food and for stopping their movements. While these bouncing creatures could understand languages, their only form of communication was written, using their tentacles to manipulate a stylus to scribe words in the sand. Note that the Power of the Jedi Sourcebook claims Ruusan was located in the Mid Rim.

Ruusan Crystal
This strange crystal was found on the planet Ruusan. Ruusan crystals were imbued with the Force, and were often used by the ancient Jedi Knights as a focusing object, to help them make contact with the Force and channel it through their bodies.
(KOTOR2)
Ruusan Prophecy
This was the term used to describe the belief among the Jedi Order that a knight would one day free all the souls trapped in the Valley of the Jedi on Ruusan, thereby restoring balance to the Force on the planet. The spirits of both Sith and Jedi were trapped in the Valley during the Battle of Ruusan, when the Sith Lord Kaan set off his thought bomb. The prophecy was ultimately fulfilled by Kyle Katarn, after he defeated the Dark Jedi Jerec and his minions before they could access the Valley and use its power for evil.
(WOTC)
Ruusan Reformations
This was the name given to the point in galactic history, a thousand years before the onset of the Clone Wars, when Chancellor Tarsus Valorum decreed that the Republic should re-establish itself in the eyes of its citizens. During the Draggulch Period, the Republic had withdrawn into itself, closing its borders at the edge of the Core Worlds and leaving the rest of the galaxy to fend for itself. The Jedi Order, at the time, was an independent group that was able to form its own military forces, as it did by creating the Army of Light during the era of the New Sith Wars.
Chancellor Valorum stated that many of the beings who were considered citizens of the Old Republic didn't even know that the Republic still existed. Planets were breaking away from the Republic in frustration and fear. He argued that the average being knew very little about peace, and that the Jedi Order had moved away from being the guardians of peace and justice. The fact that the Jedi used the Force, while the average being could not see or touch it, only added to the general disillusionment of the galaxy. Valorums' solution was to drastically cut back on the Republic's military forces, and give greater political control to individual star systems. Valorum reduced the power of the Supreme Chancellor, and also paved the way for the Jedi Order to become a branch of the Judicial Department of the Republic that was answerable to the Senate. Because of these changes, the Republic Measures and Standards Bureau chose reset the galactic calendar.
The Ruusan Reformations produced one of the most accurate depictions of galactic time known to the Old Republic, and developed the calendar system that lasted until the formation of the Galactic Empire. One unexpected side effects of Chancellor Valorum's grand plans was that he had given each star system its own representative in the Senate, which eventually led to the greed and corruption that destroyed it.

Ruusanian
This was the name given to the race of near-humans which settled the planet Ruusan during the height of the Old Republic. Their history showed that they believed they could feel the "rhythm of the planet", although the Jedi Knights discovered no connection in them to the Force. In the aftermath of the Battle of Ruusan, many Ruusanians survived the blast of the thought bomb unleashed by the Brotherhood of Darkness, thanks to the efforts of Lord Hoth and the Army of Light to shield them from the blast. Note that the Power of the Jedi Sourcebook claims that it was the Ruusanians who prophecied the coming of a Knight to free the souls trapped in the Valley of the Jedi, not the Bouncers, despite what was chronicled in the Jedi versus Sith comic series.

Ruxon, Melari
This young Duros female was one of the many apprentices who were training to become Jedi Knights at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the years that followed the Second Galactic Civil War. When Han Solo was forced to tranquilize Bazel Warv in order to prevent the Ramoan from causing harm to the public, Ruxon was close behind, and Han turned over his dart shooter to her in order to help get the Ramoan to safety. When Ruxon believed that Bazel was trying to fight back, she shot him with another dart, but the increase in the amount of tranquilizers in his blood caused Bazel's body to convulse even worse. Known as simply Mel to her fellow students, Ruxon felt horrible for putting Bazel through the pain, but Leia Solo quickly pointed out that a little pain was a good trade against the possibility of being frozen in carbonite. Melari later learned that the tranquilizer that was used, somatoll, affected the Ramoan body in different ways, and that the struggle Bazel appeared to put up was actually the initial onset of the convulsions he was experiencing. These events took a heavy toll on Melari's mind, and she and her friend, Reeqo, decided that they did not want to become Jedi Knights any longer. They both folded their robes into neat piles, placed their lightsabers atop their robes, and simply walked out of the Jedi Temple. Although their absence prompted Kenth Hamner to fear that they were experiencing the same Force psychosis that had overcome Bazel, Cilghal pointed out that neither Melari nor Reeqo had stayed at Shelter base during the Yuuzhan Vong War, and so they had not been exposed to the same environment as Bazel and the other Jedi who were having trouble. As they left the Jedi Temple behind, both Melari and Reeqo were approached by Galactic Alliance Security forces as they were leaving. They were set free when they explained that they no longer wanted to be part of an organization that was breaking the laws of the government, although they later told Javis Tyrr the real reason they left the Order was because they wer unhappy with the way Chief of State Natasi Daala was taking control of the Jedi.

Ruyn, Darth
This well-muscled, Twi'lek male was one of the many Sith Lords who served Darth Krayt, during the years following the Sith-Imperial War. In the wake of the war, Darth Ruyn began training an apprentice, a female Twi'lek known as Darth Talon. Darth Ruyn was noted for his study of the Sith Masters before him, and his knowledge of their contributions was extensive. He explained to Darth Talon about the strange artworks that covered the walls of the Sith Temple on Coruscant, which had been created by a former Master to help forcus and channel the Dark Side of the Force. Upon completing the work, the Master asked his apprentice to kill him, so that his death could become part of the art.
When he believed that Talon was ready, Darth Ruyn presented her to Darth Krayt. Although she claimed to care about her Master and respected him, Darth Krayt ordered Talon to strike him down. Darth Ruyn had almost no time to react, as Talon lashed out with her crimson lightsaber and decapitated him.

The Ryn were approached by two men, known simply as Tall and Short, who wanted to secure their services were forgers in order to create seemingly official documents which would allow high-paying refugees to obtain passage off Ruan. Gaph used his skills at line drawing, which R'vanna used his calligraphy skills, to create the document. In return, the Ryn were to be transported to Abregado-rae. Although the Ryn made it off Ruan, they missed Droma and Han Solo, who arrived shortly after their departure and were arrested for the forgeries. R'vanna and his group ended up on Duro, where they were accepted as part of Romany's small clan. R'vanna himself became Romany's chief lieutenant.

This tree-city was Chewbacca's home village on Kashyyyk, and one of the planet's most metropolitan centers of activity. It was a kilometer-wide platform built in a tangle of huge wroshyr trees. One huge branch had been hollowed out by the Wookiees for use as a hangar, and smugglers routinely evaded Imperial patrols to deliver supplies and weapons to the Wookiee underground.
Some forty years after the Battle of Yavin, Kashyyyk was attacked by Jacen Solo and the Anakin Solo, when the Wookiees harbored the suspected terrorists Han and Leia Solo, as well as a group of fugitive Jedi Knights. Solo chose to burn Kashyyyk's forests in an effort to force the Wookiees to turn over the wanted individuals. If they refused, then Kashyyyk would burn as an example of what would happen to other planets that opposed the Galactic Alliance. Rwookrrorro suffered greatly in the ensuing fires, and the city was badly damaged before the fires could be brought under control.

In the aftermath of the Battle of Endor, she stepped down from her political position to become a starfighter pilot for the Imperial remnant, leading the Red Star Squadron on runs into the Core. She flew in her own, personal TIE Defender, and ship she dubbed the Red Star I and which was heavily modified from its stock condition. However, Countess Ryad soon took matters into her own hands, attacking ships in Imperial-held space without direct orders. She was labeled a traitor and was hunted down and killed by Baron Soontir Fel.

This was a term used by the Calian race of near-humans to describe the bloodlust or battle madness they experienced when going into battle. The Calians spent many years in a civil war with the T'Syriel, during which they experience thed ryastraad many times. A similar feeling ran through those Calians who fought against the Imperial occupation of their homeworld of Shiva IV.

Rybet
This was a race of small, squat alien beings that had unusual green and tan coloring. The amphibious Rybets had overlarge, lanternlike eyes and wide, suction-cupped webbed fingers, and consumed primarily insects. In their larval stage, they were blind but perfectly formed and able to move about. These larvae preferred a stable environment in which to mature, and often reacted violently to change. Note that Jedi Search indicates that the Rybets have four arms, but this may simply be a result of their larval development. The Rybet people believed that they originated on the planet Varl, but were forcibly evicted when the Hutts took control of the planet in a devastating war. The Rybet people believed that they would one day rise up against the Hutts and repay them for their treachery. By the time of the Battle of Endor, it was estimated that fewer than one billion Rybets existed in the galaxy, a fact attributed as much to their solitary nature as to the males' hatred of their females. As a people, Rybets were generally considered to be sly opportunists, and well-adapted to a nomadic lifestyle. When they were ready to mate, male Rybets often draped a bright yellow scarf or ribbon around their necks. Note that early press for the novel Escape from Dagu indicated that the Rybets were native to the planet Dagu.

Ry-Gaul
This man was a Jedi Master, working at the Temple on Coruscant during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Ry-Gaul was known as a quite and thoughtful Jedi, and was well-respected by his peers for his knowledge of the galaxy. Ry-Gaul rarely spoke unless it was important, a trait which made him something of a mystery to students of the time. A tall man with an imposing figure, Ry-Gaul was distinguished by his eyes, which were a brilliant gray color that many of his acquaintences said looked like chromium.
Master Ry-Gaul was known for his ability to forestall a fight by sheer intimidation. As a teacher, Ry-Gaul chose Tru Veld as his Padawan learner, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Ry-Gaul and Tru Veld were part of a larger group of Jedi Knights who were dispatched to Korriban, several years before the Battle of Geonosis, on a mission to apprehend Granta Omega.
When the Clone Wars broke out, Ry-Gaul accepted the rank of Senior Jedi General and was placed in command of the 2nd Sector Army. Like his Padawan, Master Ry-Gaul was believed to have been among the many Jedi who were killed during the Clone Wars. However, he had actually been on an undercover mission that only Masters Yoda and Mace Windu were aware of. After being taken in by Linna Naltree and Tobin Gantor, Ry-Gaul went into hiding on Coruscant, where he was discovered by Solace, who was formerly known as the Jedi Master Fy-Tor Ana. She had been following him, after learning that Inquisitor Hydra was also searching for Ry-Gaul. After escaping from a group of stormtroopers, Ry-Gaul explained that he had been on a top-secret mission for Yoda when the command was given to execute Order 66. He had left Tru Veld behind, believing that his Padawan would have been safer in the Jedi Temple. Ry-Gaul tried to return to Coruscant, but was nearly apprehended before an elderly couple took him in and gave him a new identity.
Since that time, Ry-Gaul had been investigating the disappearance of several notable scientists, which led him back to Coruscant. On Coruscant, Ry-Gaul was introduced to Lune Oddo Divinian, and agreed to train the young man in the ways of the Force. However, Ry-Gaul soon discovered that Lune needed more training, and referred him to Garen Muln. Ry-Gaul then took Trever Flume on a mission to rescue Linna Naltree from Jenna Zan Arbor. They infiltrated Zan Arbor's Coruscant residence, and planned to grab Naltree from a turbolift. The rescue attempt was nearly bungled when Trever tripped over Zan Arbor's cape, forcing Ry-Gaul to draw his lightsaber and defend them. As he deflected blaster fire from Zan Arbor, Naltree injected Zan Arbor with the memory drug she had been developing, utterly erasing all knowledge of the drug from her mind.
In order to escape from Coruscant and return to Ferus Olin's asteroid base, Ry-Gaul and Flame attended the Galactic Luxury Starship Manufacturers' Convention with Trever and Solace. Ry-Gaul used the Force to convince a Sleeker Systems executive to sell them a prototype starship and expedite their registration papers, allowing them to leave the planet. After leaving the convention, they discovered that their ship had been equipped with a trace beacon. This discovery led to the knowledge that Flame was not a true rebel leader, but was actually Eve Yarrow, who was working of the Empire. Solace decided to leave Flame on a remote moon, while Ry-Gaul agreed to take the bugged ship and leave it at a remote spaceport in order to throw off their pursuit. He later rejoined them at Ferus's asteroid base.
Unfortunately, their efforts proved for naught, as Vader already had learned of the location of the asteroid base. He had also rigged Eve Yarrow's starship to explode, stranding Ry-Gaul on the asteroid with Solace, Garen Muln, and Lune Oddo. When Vader's Star Destroyer appeared in the asteroid field, the three former Jedi agreed to send Lune away from the asteroid in an escape pod, then set out to defend the asteroid against insurmountable odds. Vader wasted no time in firing on the asteroid, tearing it apart in a single, devastating blast that killed everyone still on its surface. Ry-Gaul died knowing that the Jedi were not yet defeat if Lune still survived.

Ryhl, Angrail
This man was one of the galaxy's most noted xenoarchaeologists, primarily because he wasn't a treasure hunter and simply wanted to preserve the ancient wonders he discovered. He often waged a sort of war-like rivalry with Nardo Sau, and sometimes was forced to resort to the same kinds of underhanded tactics Sau used in order to reach a site before him. Ryhl spent his career searching the most obscure and remote Outer Rim worlds for surprisingly wonderous finds, like the Ch'hosk Cave Drawings of Antmuel VI or the Skull of Thalemute. One of Ryh's major disadvantages was his lack of corporate sponsorship, something Sau used to get past the Imperial bureaucracy to obtain licenses before Ryhl could.

Ryjerd, Rayc
Rycar Ryjerd's son, he was heavily indebted to Jabba the Hutt for the ship he owned. He was considered even more of an idiot that his father. It was unclear what became of Rayc Ryjerd, in the wake of Jabba's death at the Pit of Carkoon, just prior to the Battle of Endor.

Ryjerd, Rycar
This Bimm trader was also an efficient starship weapons smuggler. He'll do business with anyone, and willingly took on apprentices. He had also mastered the Jawa language. He was also reckless and considered to be borderline psychotic, and had been known to fly through dense asteroid fields to evade capture. He was once captured in the Obana Asteroid Belt, but managed to avoid being imprisoned for any length of time. After the Battle of Hoth, Ryjerd joined up with his friendly rival, Nabrun Leids, to smuggler goods along the Sisar Run. Both used their own ships in the enterprise, with Ryjerd manning the Tower. Note that the Wizards of the Coast website indicates Rycar was a human, not a Bimm.

Ryko, Max
This man was a member of the Coruscant police force during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. As an officer who worked a beat in Coruscant's financial district, Ryko was known for his underhanded enforcement of the law. His access to secret documents allowed him to obtain sensitive information on Senators and businessbeings, and he used this information to blackmail his targets for huge sums of credits. Because of this, an anonymous bounty for Ryko's capture was issued shortly after the Battle of Naboo. Jango Fett claimed the bounty sometime later, when he apprehended by Ryko and his fellow officers. Fett had just killed the Twi'lek Senator Trell, and Ryko's gunship was the first to arrive on the scene. Fett managed to disable the gunship and take control of the police officers who survived.

Ry-Kooda
This Koodan was Bar-Kooda's older brother. Ry-Kooda operated from a base on Rutal 4. Ry-Kooda had a flatter head and more spots than his brother, but was no less mean-tempered. When he discovered that Boba Fett had captured and killed his brother, Ry-Kooda launched his own attack on Fett and his employers, Gorga and Orko. He tracked them to Skeebo, and got caught in the middle of the Skavers' kidnapping of Gorga's bride, Anachro. Ry-Kooda was able to corner the bounty hunter on Skeebo, but Fett launched a concussion missile in the Skeendo Tunnels, trapping Ry-Kooda in the resulting rockslide. The hulking creature did not die, however, and began to exact revenge on Orko and Boba Fett. He started by hunting down Orko in his palace, removing all the guards, killing and then eating Orko to repay the death of Bar-Kooda. Ry-Kooda then set his sights on Arachno, but Boba Fett intervened. Ry-Kooda nearly killed the bounty hunter in one-on-one combat, but Fett managed to lure Ry-Kooda into a toxic waste dump. There, Fett set the waste ablaze, consuming Ry-Kooda in the flames. The Koodan exploded from the extreme heat.

Rylca
This augmented form of bacta was created by Qlaern Hirf's verachen shortly after the New Republic liberated Coruscant from Ysanne Isard. It was created from normal bacta that was infused with kor ryll from the planet Ryloth. It was vastly superior to normal bacta, and Hirf gave the New Republic its own license to produce rylca in large quantities. This helped the Republic break out of the grip of the Krytos virus and escape from the virtual lock on the bacta market formed when Isard took control of the planet Thyferra. It was first produced at the Alderaan Biotics facility on Borleias.

Ryll
This type of spice was mined on the planet Ryloth, and was originally used in a number of medicinal applications. The discovery of ryll was believed to have occurred about 4,800 years before the Battle of Yavin, at about the same time that the Gank Massacre took place. It was eventually smuggled around the galaxy for use as a recreational drug, especially during the height of the New Order, when the Empire took control of the production of glitterstim. In any form or usage, ryll was a highly addictive and very dangerous drug. Most refined ryll had a blue color. Unlike rocks or minerals that grew in veins, ryll tended to bloom when it propagated, filling entire caverns with crystalline growth that was not sensitive to light. This made mining ryll both easier and harder than its cousin, glitterstim. While the mines that contained ryll were often spacious and well-lit, they were also prone to cave-in due to the amount of space that was left behind after the ryll was excavated. Many ryll mines on Ryloth were large enough to accommodate entire cities in the excavated chambers, and these cities prospered as long as the ryll held out. During the early years of the New Republic, the Twi'leks discovered that a special form of fungus could be used to extract the ryll into a purer form. By growing the fungus in the mines, ryll was leached out of the surrounding rock and stored in stalactites that were formed from the secretions of the fungus. These stalactites could be broken off an processed into a more valuable form of ryll.

Ryloth
This planet, the second world in the Ryloth System, was the homeworld of the Twi'lek race. Located in the Outer Rim Territories, Ryloth orbited its sun in such a way that one side was perpetually lit and the other was locked in the dark. These Bright Lands, where the daytime temperature reached 300 degrees centigrade, were scoured by huge heat storms that whipped around the planet with winds in excess of 500 kilometers per hour. These storms eventually died on the night side, but not before warming the dark side up enough to support minimal life. It was a dry, rocky world with a thin, breathable atmosphere. The Twi'Leks who lived on the planet mined the mineral ryll for various legal and illegal uses throughout the galaxy. Ryloth was orbited by five, red-colored moons. Ryloth's location put it at one end of the Corellian Run, but many spacers noted that it was farther out in the galaxy than even Tatooine. The planet was originally located by Old Republic explorers some 10,000 years before the onset of the Clone Wars, and was one of the first worlds discovered by explorers in the Outer Rim. During the decades leading up to the Battle of Ruusan, Ryloth was the site of a Sith training academy, where those individuals with some control over the Force were trained to become spies and assassins.
Note that Platt's Starport Guide indicates that Ryloth had a year that lasted 289 standard days, and that a "day" on the planet lasted some nineteen hours. However, Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds indicates that the year on Ryloth lasted 305 standard days, and that its rotational period was the same, thus being truly tide-locked. Also note that the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated television series depicts Ryloth with jungles and cities located on the surface of the planet.

Ryn
This was the native language of the Ryn people. Many xenolinguists decribed the spoken form of Ryn a a melodious collection of tones and inflections.
(UANT)
Ryn
This species of humanoids was distinguished by their birdlike faces and the stiff hair covering their bodies. They had a slender, prehensile tail and a chitinous nose. The males had drooping mustaches and crests at their temples, while the females lacked mustaches and had slicked-back hair in place of the crests. This facial hair tended to be white, regardless of their skin color, which ranged from pale purple to midnight blue. Their noses were formed from a series of holes in the chitin, making it appear to be a musical instrument, and the tips of their tails were sky-blue in color.
As a people, the Ryn were known to be self-sufficient beings who were hard workers, but with a penchant for thievery and confidence games. The Ryn also had a distinct odor, which many other species found offensive. Ryn were highly superstitious, and had a number of rituals involving eating and bodily fluids. Tradition also held that a Ryn could not sleep in the same place more than once. Thus, they were considered nomads, and those Ryn who were encountered most often were enslaved or being hunted down for some crime.
Most xenobiologists were unable to discover the homeworld of the Ryn. The Ryn themselves had forgotten its name and location, but their histories showed that they were native to the Core and were driven from their homeworld long ago. Some Ryn believed that they were descended from a civilization of 10,000 musicians who agreed to move to a planet that was bereft of music. Others believed that their ancestors were warriors who were planted on other worlds to fend of a threat from the Inner Rim. This latter explanation was considered the most plausible, since the Ryn language contained a variety of military terms, including words for "non-Ryn" and "civilians."
A large colony of Ryn settled in the Corporate Sector, moving from planet to planet. Some contingents of Ryn were quite fatalistic, claiming that they had been abused by the rest of the galaxy for so long that they often abused themselves whenever they were alone.
When the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy began, many families of Ryn were suddenly split apart as refugees were shipped off to any planet which seemed to be on the far side of the invasion. Despite their separation, the Ryn maintained close contacts, and managed to create a tightly-knit web of information gatherers. They chose to blend into their environments, taking advantage of the way other races ignored them to insinuate themselves into their host culture, using these vantage points to collect information. Using secure channels, the Ryn began to anonymously provide their information to the Galactic Alliance, in the hopes that it could be used to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong. The Galactic Alliance later discovered evidence that this Ryn information network might have been funded by Talon Karrde, although this was never proven.
It was believed that, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, the Ryn were led by a single individual, but no one knew who it was. Among the Ryn, it was rumored that this leader established the information network after learning about the Great River of the Jedi Knights.

Ryn 115
This was the codename of the Ryn who worked as part of the secret information network which sprang up during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Based on the planet Vortex, Ryn 115 worked with the rest of his race to unobtrusively gather information about the alien invaders and relay it to the New Republic and the Galactic Alliance. It was Ryn 115 who managed to infiltrate the prison camps of Selvaris and deliver a mathemetically coded message to Judder Page and Pash Cracken, who later entrusted Thorsh to carry it to the Republic.

Rynalla
This woman was a Profex at the University of Sanbra, studying the ancient Sith and their affect on the galaxy. Over the years, Profex Rynalla had picked up a fair amount of sensitivity to the Force, mainly due to her secretive research of Dark Side magic. She traveled to Leritor to investigate the rumors that the Bracers of Najus were hidden beneath the Bleaks mountain range. However, she was unable to afford a real excavation crew, so she paid a team of slavers to capture Sauvax and human natives to dig at the site. Her efforts to locate the Bracers was cut short when a team of independent investigators, on Leritor to help settle dispute between the Sauvax and the settlers, stumbled upon her excavation. The investigators destroyed the site in a battle with Rynalla's bodyguards, and Rynalla herself was captured and held for trial.

Although he worked for Magister Denache, Rynert began taking orders directly from Count Dooku, which included killing the three Jedi - Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Ahsoka Tano - who arrived on Taloraan City. Rynert and his men managed to knock Kenobi and Skywalker unconscious, and would have killed them if Sech Govlinder had not intervened with new orders from Denache that required the Jedi to be alive.

Ryntz, Hohn
This Caarite once worked for the Metatheran Cartel, serving under Velin Wir during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. Ryntz oversaw much of Wir's finances, including several personal projects that were funded by Cartel credits. This required Ryntz to adjust Wir's books accordingly, to make all of his expenses appear to be legitimate.
Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, Ryntz secured the credits to fund the so-called Contract AA23, which was a bounty offered by Wir for the capture or elimination a group of freelance agents who had become local heroes in the Cularin System. When the entire Cularin System suddenly disappeared, Ryntz thought nothing of it, and never canceled the bounty offered for Contract AA23. Thus, it continued to compound over time, continuing to grow in size, until it was wortha great deal of credits. However, with Cularin having disappeared from the galaxy, no beings could claim the bounty.
Thus, when the Cularin System suddenly reappeared, bounty hunters began inquiring about Contract AA23. In the wake of Velin Wir's death, Ryntz discovered his mistake, and tried to have the contract nullified. The original agreement required genetic validation of the issuer's identity, forcing Ryntz to try to cancel it using the original authorization codes. With the codes, Ryntz traveled to Nar Shaddaa to discuss the matter with the Hutt crimelords who controlled the bounty. When he ran into the agents in Totor's Party Kave, Ryntz outwardly tried to warn them about the danger they were in, although his true motiviation was to avoid embarassment for the Cartel, which would probably get him fired.
In the end, however, Ryntz proved himself to be an honorable Caarite, and did his best to help the agents avoid being captured by the bounty hunters. Once the agents were safe, Ryntz set out to have the contract cancelled. The Hutts who controlled the bounties agreed to suspend the bounty, but refused to cancel the contract without further deliberation.

Ryontarr, Seek
This Gotal was once a Jedi Knight, and was known to have been assigned to a mission to rescue the Nath Goordian heirs. Unfortunately, Ryontarr went missing during the mission, and the heirs were never returned to their homeworld, sparking a war of succession. Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben, encountered Ryontarr at Sinkhole Station, a strange, derelict space station hidden within the Maw cluster of black holes, more than two years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, but they were confused when they first encountered him. Ryontarr was reciting what seemed to be the Jedi Code, although he had twisted the words to say, "There is no life, there is only the Force." Luke tried to correct him, and Ryontarr revealed his identity. Luke questioned the being, since he had believed that Ryontarr had vanished. Ryontarr claimed to have rescued the Nath Goordian heirs from a habitat near the station, and when pressed about it, explained to Luke that there were many forms of rescue. While Ben was trying to treat an injury to the body of Qwallo Mode, the Duros awoke from his mind walking, and began to explain what had befallen him. When Luke questioned the reason that the Duros fired a missile at the Jade Shadow as the Skywalkers penetrated the Maw, Ryontarr explained that they were trying to remove some of the material possessions that were binding the Skywalkers to the "dream world" of real life.
Ryontarr and the others at the station referred to themselves as Mind Walkers, because of their belief that the only real world was found within their minds when they were connected to the Force. Ryontarr and the others agreed to show Luke how to go mind walking, in an attempt to show him the truth about the galaxy and the Force. Along with a Givin named Feryl, Ryontarr took Luke's mind to the Font of Power, then the Pool of Knowledge, before showing Luke the Throne of Balance. At each place, when Luke successfully passed the necessary tests, Ryontarr would reveal a little more about Jacen Solo's time at Sinkhole Station. He explained that Jacen had not drunk from the Font of Power, nor had he bathed in the Pool of Knowledge. However, Ryontarr explained that Jacen had seen something terrible when he looked at his reflection in the Pool, and that Jacen had seen a dark man ascending the Throne of Balance. Jacen chose to leave Sinkhole Station at that point, Ryontarr related, in order to do whatever he could to change what he had seen in the Pool of Knowledge. The exact amount of time that they were mind walking took several weeks, and Ben Skywalker tended to their physical bodies while they were gone. However, the physical bodies of both Feryl and Ryontarr expired while they were mind walking, leaving their minds still walking in the Force with Luke, who still had questions to ask them.

Ryyk Kerarthorr
This was a modified form of the ryyk knife used by the Wookiee race. Instead of having the blade mounted inline with the handle, the ryyk kerarthorr had its handle mounted at a ninety-degree angle to the blade. In this way, a Wookiee warrior could wield a pair of these blades held close to his or her body.
