Rakaa IV
this beautiful world is the primary planet in the Rakaa System, located at the edge of the Core. The lush jungles are seldom visited, though, since the native Rakaans have been known to eat intruders. (AE)

Rakaan
an insectile race native to the planet Rakaa IV, the Rakaans are a vicious race that has been known to eat humans and other offworlders. 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. (AE)

Rakamat
this was the Yuuzhan Vong name given to the massive transport vehicles referred to as ranges. (EL1)

Rakata
this ancient race of dome-headed humanoids was believed to have died out more than 30,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Despite this fact, which predates the discovery of the hyperdrive, evidence of the Rakata has been 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 has 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. (KOTOR, SWDB)

Rakatan
this was the term used to describe a single member of the Rakata race. (SWDB)

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 Empire
this was the name given to the vast empire that was created by the Rakata race, many millennia before the Great Sith War. 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. (SWDB)

Rakazzak
this was a three-meter-tall species of spider-like creatures native to Endor's forest moon. The Yuzzum warriors who served Morag rode them as mounts. (ECAR)

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 infection, 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 leardership abilities and could use weapons. (KOTOR, WOTC)

Rakghoul Fiend

Investigation into the disappearance of many independent starships near the station led to the discovery that the Rak'qua were acquiring the crews and passengers from the ships, which had been ambushed by Gamma Station bounty hunters. The kidnapped beings were then tortured before being turned over to the Empire as slaves. The Rak'qua were sworn to defend their practices against the gangs who were allied with Jorj Car'das, who controlled the upper levels of the station. (SWGAL)

Rakra
this Ewok was the shaman of the Panshee tribe. (SWJ1)

an alien race native to the planet Rakrir, the average Rakririan was an insectoid creature with a short, segmented body, five pairs of limbs, two eyestalks, and a cantilevered vocal organ in their midsection. The eyestalks were constantly in motion, giving the impression of nervousness. Very few Rakririans left their homeworld, believing that other worlds were not refined to their standards. Note that Alien Encounters indicates that the Rakririan homeworld was Ballikite. (HSE, CSA, AE)

Ral refused to believe Ghitsa's call to bring the ship down before it reached the upper atmosphere. When the Rook got too high, it exploded, killing Ral and the crew. (TFNR)

Ral
also known as a stone ray, the ral was a reptilian predator native to the planet Bothawui. These reptiles were named after aquatic rays, because of their similar shape and because they flew through the air. Their coloration resembled that of pure glitterstone, and rals could exist on rocky outcropping without being detected. 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. (SPG)

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. (HSL)

R'alla
this planet was known for its mineral water springs. (HSR)

R'alla Water
this sweet, clear water was found in the mineral springs of R'alla. It was very expensive, due to its purity and taste, and was often smuggled off-planet for sale at cutthroat prices. After the rise of the New Republic, the water was made more plentiful by an increase in trade with R'alla. (HSR, SOP)

this native of the planet Esseles was the President of the Esselian Hall during the New Order. Ralle was best known for leading the planet through the dark times of the Clone Wars. 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. (SWJ7, SWJ8, SWJ9, FOP)

Ralle, Cambira
this man was a former president of the planet Esseles. A hero of the Clone Wars, he met with extreme opposition after the Battle of Yavin.

Rallo
this heavy-set man was a native of Gus Talon, during the height of the New Order. Distinguished by his height and his bald head, Rallo worked as a mechanic and full-time father to Mala. 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. (T23)

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. (SWR, HR, CCW)

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. (BTS, WOTC)

Ralon, however, tried to make a few more credits by claiming he had artifacts of some significance, when all he really had was junk. Among his more creative attempts to con credits off of the settlers was the hunk of crystal Ralon tried to pass off as a Jedi Holocron.

Ral'Rai Muvunc
this Twi'lek was a member of the Alliance, and served as the Minister and Commander of Supply and Ordnance shortly after the Battle of Yavin. It was Muvunc who proposed that privateers be contracted to help augment the Alliance's forces. Among his rationale were the facts that privateers could ambush Imperial and corporate convoys, obtaining supplies for the Alliance without expending Alliance resources. Privateering would also help alienate corporations from the Empire, as lost convoys meant lost profits. Admiral Ackbar was strongly opposed to the plan to use pirates in this manner, despite the continued success rate of the missions Muvunc authorized. Ral'Rai's proposal led to the Far Orbit Project. Note that the Star Wars Adventure Journal, Issue 7 claims this character was a Sullustan named Ral-Rai Muvnc. (SWJ2, FOP, PP, SWJ7)

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. (KOTOR2)

Ramesh

Although he didn't like it, Ramic's years of service and loyalty to the Empire made him agree with Pellaeon's plans. He also chafed at the ways in which Moff Disra was using Imperial funds, personnel, and equipment to pay for Preybird-class starfighters produced by the Cavrilhu pirates. He worked with Pellaeon to make sure nothing else unethical happened. (SOP)

Ramier, Lesan
a native of Lolnar, this man served the Empire as the Moff of Brak Sector, at the height of the New Order. Ramier was promoted to Brak Sector after successfully bringing seveaarl star systems into line with the Empire. His takeover of the sector was met with opposition, but most of his critics disappeared over a short period of time. His greatest achievement was the construction of the Imperial shipyards at Bacrana, but he was unable to subjugate the Aramandi. While trying to take control of the sector, Ramier was forced to consider the option of jointly controlling it with Lant Mining Corporation, due to strained relations between LMC and the Empire.

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.

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.

this was the term used by the inhabitants of the planet Iego to describe the cobbled-together repulsorchairs they used as transports. These ramshackles resembled reclining chairs made from structural tubing, with handmade repuslor engines attached at the base to provide locomotion. (WOTC, GORW)

Ramship
this was the name given to a variety of starships put together by outlaw techs, and designed for ramming an opponent's starship. These vessels were equipped with massive engines and structurally-enhanced fuselages, allowing them to gain maximum speed and survive the ramming operation. The "nose" of a ramship was most often a bulbous cone formed from solid durasteel, and formed to buckle a target's hull plating and bend its superstructure. Virtually all the ramships encountered over the years have been manned by droids, as no sane organic would want to participate in a ramming mission. However, this meant that the crews of ramships were unable to make their own decisions. (EGD)

RamTek
this was BlasTech's portable, blaster power pack recharging kit. (GFT)

Ramunee, Veni
this Alderaanian youth was the fifth of eight children in his family, and the younger brother of the Jedi Vici Ramunee. When Master Tannis traveled to Alderaan to locate candidates for Jedi training, she chose Veni as well as his older sister, Vici. However, at age of seven, he was too young to begin training and had to wait two more years before joining Vici. Veni 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. (SWJ9, SWJ11)
