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.
