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. Raaba was not seen again, and only her bloody backpack was ever found. Lowie carried a secret burden over her disappearance, feeling somewhat responsible.
It was later learned that she was captured by forces of the Second Imperium and the Diversity Alliance, and she used her talents as a pilot for Nolaa Tarkona. 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. (DK, TEP)

a small, rat-like race that is native to the planet Rydar II, Ranats appear at first to be a harmless race of rodents. They are, in fact, a highly-intelligent race of ruthless killers. The name Ranat was given to the race by the humanoiud 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. 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.

Jabba the Hutt had a rancor caged in his palace on Tatooine, which he kept starved. He then dropped anyone who displeased him into the rancor's pit, and the denizens of the palace looked on as the rancor tore the hapless victim to pieces.

a mammalian race native to the planet Caaraz, the Ranth are humanoid carnivores with bluish fur and flat muzzles. Their mouths are 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 are 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 are 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, has 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.

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. (OS, OS2)

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 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.

The Renatasians, being hardy stock, began on Renatasia III and Renatasia IV, and eventually colonized all eight, regardless of the heat or cold environments. Its 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 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 is believed that Dash perished in the crash. Rumors abound that he fled into hyperspace, not desiring any repayment or celebrity from the Alliance

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 are 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.

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 Princess. Most of the Riders escaped.

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. Rieekan was portrayed by Bruce Boa in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. He was also portrayed by Merwin Goldsmith for the The Empire Strikes Back Radio Drama on National Public Radio.

Rillao
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 is had received under Hethrir's rule. (CS)

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.

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. (HSR, CSA, THG)
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 are 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."

Rock Dragon
this small reptile is native to the planet Dathomir. It has rough, mottled skin which helps it blend into its surroundings. The rock dragon is 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 is strong enough to kill a full-grown rancor. (SHA)
Rock Dragon
this Hapan passenger was owned by Tenel Ka, but 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. Much of the influence on her parents came from her grandmother, Ta’a Chume, who felt that her granddaiughter 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 given by Tenel Ka, and refers to the small reptile native to Dathomir. It also alludes 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, TEP, SHA)

Rodia
the tropical home world of the Rodian race. It was once a lush paradise teaming with life, but the hunters of the Rodians wiped out much of the planet's native life in search of food and dominance. Since then, it has become highly industrialized. (SW, SCRE, GG4)
Rodian
this bipedal race with tapir-like face and multifaceted eyes is native to the planet Rodia, in the Tyrius system. The skin of a Rodian is green in color, and there is very little physical variation within the species. Thus, non-Rodians often cannot tell two Rodians apart. The Rodian race has ears that swivel in their sockets, allowing them to hear in several directions. There is a ridge of spikes which crests their skulls, and their long, flexible fingers are tipped with suction cups. They are a race of hunters by nature, and bounty hunting seems to hold a place of high esteem. As a race, they evolved are hunters, surviving their planet's tropical environment and establishing a series of war games which lasted for thousands of years. 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. Since then, they have not done as well as they had hoped. Many of the Rodians who make a living off-planet are working as bounty hunters for corrupt crime lords. Their weapon of choice is the thermal detonator, since a widespread explosion tends to kill more than a single blaster shot. Each bounty hunter is obliged to bring a valid record of his or her kill to the Guild on Rodia for logging in the record books. Others are making a living as Imperial lackeys. Rodians almost wiped themselves out as a race, during a time when the birthrate among females dropped below the level at which they were killing each other off. 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. (SW, SCRE, GG4)

this loyal man was married to Tyerle, and they settled on the planet Questal to escape the threat of the New Order. Rogan became involved in the resistance for two reasons: first, because his brother-in-law Tiree was an Alliance agent; second, because the Empire installed Moff Bandor to rule Questal and control the production of ardanium. Rogan began establishing resistance cells, but was eventually caught in the waves of fear created by Bandor’s hurlothrumbic generator. Rogan was sent to the Game Chambers, and was a mindless survivor when he was rescued by Alliance agents. He eventually recovered, once he was free of the influence of the generator. (GCQ)

Rogue Squadron
initially, Rogue Squadron was the unofficial name of the X-Wing Red Squadron which assaulted the first Death Star. It became the official title of the snowspeeder pilots on Hoth, and eventually became the designation given to Luke Skywalker's group of 12 X-wing pilots. 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 was decided, it was "discovered" by Airen Cracken that their resignations were never processed, so the Squadron was reinstated to active duty. It remained under the command of Wedge Antilles until the defeat of grand Admiral Thrawn, 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. (ESB, HTTE, XWN, JS, KT, IJ)

Rokak’k Baran
this huge Gree starship is the primary method of transportation between the many worlds of the Gree Enclave.

Rokur Gepta
Rokur Gepta, a Croke who had aspirations of power and control, was the last surviving Sorcerer of Tund, although no one is aware of it when he surfaces in the Rafa System. He was an ancient lifeform already, when he appeared on Tund, asking to join the Sorcerers. He was the best student they could have asked for, soaking up knowledge like a sponge. When he continued beyond that knowledge and learned more than the Sorcerers did, Gepta struck out, destroying the brotherhood and reducing the planet Tund to a burned-out ball of ash, using a very specialized lifeform. He then continued to spread rumors and stories about the Tund Sorcerers, to keep them shrouded in mystery as he began collecting power. One of this first goals was to recover the Mindhapr of the Sharu race. When Lando Calrissian foiled his attempt to control the Mindharp, Gepta began plotting his own personal revenge on Calrissian. When Lando foiled his assassination attempt on Oseon 5792, Gepta became more enraged, and stepped up his attempts to kill Calrissian. Gepta nearly caught Lando at the StarCave, but was told that the Millennium Falcon was destroyed in a battle with the Imperial Navy.
In keeping with the legends of the Sorcerers of Tund, Gepta conceals his true form in dense wrappings of gray cloth, the color of which very closely matches the color of the ashes of Tund. He wears a large, turban-like wrapping on his head, revealing only his eyes. If he were ever seen without these wrappings, Gepta would appear as the Croke he is, a twelve-legged slug capable of modifying its appearance as it saw fit. Gepta is finally destroyed in a duel with Lando Calrissian at the ThonBoka. He and Lando struggle for awhile before Lando is able to shoot Gepta's enlarged form with his stingbeam. This forced Gepta to return to his normal Croke state. Lando then grabbed the slug and squeezed it until it ruptured. (LCM, LCF, LCS)

The intervention of the Kalduu race saved the Ropagu from destroying not only themselves, but their planet as well.

Of the Neimoidians sent to Naboo, Haako was the only one to ever have encountered the Jedi Knights, and he was extremely distrubed to learn that Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi had been dispatched to Naboo. When Darth Sidious had Daultay Dofine executed for questioning his plans, Haako was promoted into Dofine’s position. Together, Haako and Gunray managed to carry out the Sith Lord’s plans agains the Naboo and the Gungans, but were unable to completely control the planet. They were captured during the Battle of Naboo by Queen Amidala and her forces, and were returned to Coruscant for trial. Rune Haako as acted by Jerome Blake and voiced by James Taylor in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (SW1)

this individual was the former High Shaman of the Order of the Terrible Glare. He was the sole survivor of the war with the Jedi Knights that wiped out the Order. A humanoid with thick cranial nodules on his bald pate, Rur placed an image of himself within the Portal Desolate on Garn, in order to guard the Order's secrets and exact a future revenge on the Jedi. 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. (CSWDW)

Ruuria
a planet, homeworld of the Ruurian race. (HSL)
Ruurian
the alien race native to the planet Ruuria and its 143 colonies, the Ruurians pass through three unique stages during their lives. First, they are born into a larval stage, when they resemble eight-legged caterpillars. Each of the eight legs has 4 mutually-opposable fingers. They also have fine, wide antennae on top of their heads, and large, multifaceted red eyes. The larval Ruurians are the most creative and intelligent of their race, and perform the various tasks required to run their planet. The second stage of life is a pupal stage, in which the larva spin a cocoon around themselves and transform themselves in beautiful crhoma-wing fliers. This is the third and final stage of Ruurian development, but it is also the most stagnant. The fliers only wish to eat, fly, and mate. They are single-minded creatures with no inclination to work. (HSL)

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. (BF)

Rydo
this star is the central body of the Namaryne System. (SWJ9)
Rydonni Prime
this is the only habitable planet in the Namaryne System. It has enjoyed the wealth of the Empire for a number of years, primarily because of the contributions of Rythani Products to the Imperial war machine. Even after the death of Emperor Palpatine, Moff Caerbellak continued to employ the planet, in his quest to wrestle power from the New Republic. The wealth of the planet is vast, and its pro-Imperial feelings run deep throughout its society. The planet has been ruled by the K’ntarr monarchy for several generations, a situation which continued with the ascension of Kalieva K’ntarr to the throne. The temperate planet has an average day which lasts 22 standard hours, and its year encompasses 370 local days. (SWJ9)

this is the capital city of the planet Rydonni Prime. (SWJ9)
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. (KT)

Koth Melan's security/protocol droid. (SE)
R1
this is the original series of astromech droids produced by Industrial Automaton. (TNR)
R1-G4
this outdated astromech droid was refitted by its owner with a Mark II reactor drone's armored shell. 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)
R2
a series of astromech droids, it is the most popular series ever produced, since it interfaced with most of the starships in production. It was first introduced about five years before the start of the Galactic Civil War. Note that The New Republic indicates that the R2 series is sixteen models outdated within 25 years. (SW, BTS, TNR)

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-D0 (Artoo-Deo)
Tiree's R2-model astromech utility droid, R2-D0 was known as "Deo." Deo managed to escape from the various scrapes Tiree was caught in, and assisted several groups of Alliance agents in rescuing Tiree. (RPG, GCQ)
R2-D2 (Artoo-Detoo)
Artoo is an astromech utility droid, and 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. His knowledge of starship programming made him an invaluable resource to the flight crews of the Republic. 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 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 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 couldn't trust Luke, and sought Obi-Wan himself. This led to Artoo's almost being destroyed by the Sand People, but Obi-Wan rescued them, and the rest is history.Following the Battle of Yavin, Artoo had to be refitted a number times from damage sustained as Luke's X-wing astromech droid. Artoo has nevertheless remained a loyal droid, lending his assistance whenever necessary. Artoo-Detoo was portrayed by Kenny Baker in all three Star Wars films. (SW, SW1)

R2-V0
this astromech droid is owned by Ixsthmus, and serves 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 is convinced that the actuator system is faulty, but has been unable to repair it. This is because the sounds are not the result of a defect. R2-V0 is simply a poet, and he creates the sounds because they sound nice together. (SWCP)
R2-V6
a standard astromech droid owned by Gryseium Incorporated, Sabel Corazon used this droid to hold the computer virus she was going to introduce to Premier Provisions' central computer. The droid was intercepted by Alliance agents, who used him to infiltrate Gryseium and foil the plans of Corazon. (SN)
R2-X2

R5
(1) a series of agricultural droids, related to the R2 series. (SWN)
(2) a series of astromech droids built by Industrial Automaton. They are somewhat quirky, and develop sour, bitter personalities as they age. (SWSB, SWJ9)
R5-A2
this orange maintenance droid is often seen roaming the streets of Mos Eisley. (CCG2)
R5-D2
Wedge Antilles' astromech droid, he often referred to it as "Mynock." When the droid requried a memory wipe, shortly before the Battle of Thyferra, Zraii wiped it and gave it some new programming. This resulted in the droid's designation changing to R5-G8. (XWN, BW)
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 is heard and saw, holding the data until it could be recovered by Nadon. (SWN, SWR, MTS)
R5-G8
this was the new designation given to Wedge Antilles' astromech droid Mynock, after Zraii gave it a memory wipe. Zraii also added new programming, and the droid was redesignated R5-G8. Wedge shorted this to just "Gate." (BW)
R5-M1
this noisy, slow-moving astromech droid is employed by Fiz Cor’gril as a starship mechanic. The Verpine Garginoolaara has worked with R5-M1 to keep its personality from getting sour, but was unable to repair some of the droid’s quirks. R5-M1 has the annoying habit of beeping and chirping to itself, and a malfunctioning acoustic signaller sometimes raises the sound level to unbearable levels. (SWJ9)
R5-M2
this R5 droid was owned by Shawn Valdez. It was primarily on Alliance combat starships, plotting tactical sublight courses. R5-M2 was instrumental in planning the evacuation routes for the Alliance ships stationed at Hoth’s Echo Base, prior to the Battle of Hoth. (CCG3)
R6
this series of astromech droids was heavily shielded against electrical discharges. (SOL)
R7
the lastest series of Industrial Automaton astromech droids, the R7 was designed to work with the new FreiTek E-wing fighters. The R7 bears a slight resemblance to the R2 unit, having two permanent and one retractable legs. They have a different body shape, though, which inhibits the use of R2 units in the E-Wing, as well as the use of R7s in an X-Wing or Y-Wing. The R7 can hold up to 15 hyperspace jump coordinates in its memory. They were heavily shielded against electrical discharges. (DE1, DESB, SOL)
