Legend

this insectoid pirate was known as the Scavenger of the Galaxy. His band of pirates, a mixture of living beings and droids, flew a squadron of TIE Fighters painted bright red, which distinguished them from the Imperials as well as other pirates. Redkihl and his traveled to the Yavin System, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, and found themselves able to salvage all sorts of things from the wreckage of the first Death Star. Redkihl himself tried to capture Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon, and had nearly boarded the ship when Luke Skywalker returned to Yavin 4 and assisted Han's escape. As the Millennium Falcon blasted off, a bomb planted on Redkihl's ship exploded, killing the pirate and leaving his remains stranded in the debris field of the Death Star.
