Raider, Samuel
a Captain in the Alliance, 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. Raider was rescued by Keyan Farlander's assault team, but Cardacs was killed in the battle. He held a grudge against Farlander for some time during the Galactic Civil War, and spoke openly about Farlander's apparent lack of humanity. He later realized that this was Farlander's way of dealing with the loss of his fellow pilots, and reconciled his differences.
