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. (GG9, SWDB)

Raef, Koedi
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. (CRO)

Raen Sovra
known as the electrocution worm, this segmented creature is a member of the classification of creatures known as technivores. Its exoskeleton is 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 is directed into the ground whenever the vinna trees were struck by lightning. (COG)

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. (SWJ1)

Raen, Safford

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. (LCM)

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. (HT)

Raffaan, Keval
this ancient Jedi Knight was a native of the planet Chandrila, and was a student at the Diplomatic Institute on Coruscant before joining Jedi Master Ma'tien and taking up the study of the Force.

Unfortunately for Raggold, he was shot and killed by a traitorous member of his own rebellion, just before he entered the governmental palace to put an end to the governor. 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. Raggold couldn't reconcile his actions in his own mind, however, and took his own life in the final moments of the rebellion. (MC89)

Ragnar Bounty Hunter Syndicate
based on Ragnar VIII in the Ragnar System, Ragnar was one of the largest professional bounty hunting syndicates of the Outer Rim Territories. As a recognized member of the Bounty Hunters' Guild, Ragnar's prowess and reputation spread throughout the galaxy. The Syndicate allowed its members to perform freelance hunts, but required that an experienced hunter always take a rookie with them in order to continually teach new hunters the tricks of the trade. Most hunters who of this guild 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. (GG9, GG10, HG)

Ragoon VI
see Ragoon-6 (RDR)

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. (TTB, DOH, JQ2)

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. (DF2, RAG, WOTC)

They were created by the Keeper to break the monotony of its millennia-long work of rebuilding the planet, and their special powers helped the Keeper in its reformation efforts. (PZZ1)

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.

Raina joined her commanding officer, General Toma, in establishing a resistance to the Imperials.

Beyond that, the resemblance to a krayt dragon is minimal. The average raivor measured about four meters in length as an adult, and was very quick and agile in the desert sands. The yellowish coloration of the raivor's scales allowed it to blend into the shifting sands, although a subspecies which livedin the mountains had a darker coloration that didn't blend into the rocky surroundings as well. Raivor hide was valued by the Jawas and the Sand People as a tough material for clothes and tools. (WOTC)

Rajan's back was broken when a huge tree trunk fell on him during the Sith's attack on the main Jedi camp, although he managed to survive the blow. Unfortunately, Rajan was killed when a second wave of Sith attackers arrived on swoops, killing any Jedi they could find who survived. (JVS)

Rajana
this muscular woman, a native of the planet Typha-Dor, was a member of Shalini's resistance group during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. When Mezdec claimed to have discovered Samdew transmitting the location of their base on TY44 to the Vanqors, Rajana admitted that she had heard the struggle and shot Samdew in the chest, killing him instantly. It was only later that the team discovered, with the help of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, that Mezdec was actually the traitor. (JQ7)
