Legend

this strikingly beautiful woman was the daughter of Brigadier Gideon Tarkin, and the niece of Grand Moff Willhuf Tarkin. After the death of her father during the Erhynradd Massacre, she was offered a home at her uncle's estate. She was began to throw tantrums around her adopted parents, resentful of the fact that her father had been taken away from her. She was shipped off to a prep school on Claer, and began to hate her uncle and everything he stood for. After meeting Biggs Darklighter and learning of the Alliance, she began passing information to him in order to thwart Imperial operations. She continued to act as a deep-cover spy for the Alliance after the destruction of Alderaan, using her position as an Imperial socialite to gain access to secret information. She was caught on the planet Corulag and forced into an engagement to Vastin Caglio, shortly before the Battle of Hoth, but was eventually rescued by Cryle Cavv and Quillin Arkell. After the Battle of Endor and the downfall of the Empire, Rivoche became a member of the New Republic's historical branch. She reported on the fighting that occurred between the New Republic and the remnants of the Empire on Coruscant. She was stationed on the Emancipator when it was disabled.
