Legend

this young, female Wookiee was a friend of Sirrakuk. Known to her friends as Raaba, she was 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. 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.
