Legend

this youth was a native of Somov Rit, shortly before the Battle of Ruusan. His given name was Darovit, but he kept it secret like the other natives of the planet. Like his cousin Bug, Tomcat displayed a strong connection to the Force, which attracted the Jedi scout Torr Snapit. While Tomcat and Bug were chosen to travel to Ruusan and augment the forces of the Jedi Knights, Tomcat's sister Rain was to be left behind. Tomcat used his own skills in the Force to make it appear that Rain could touch it, and she was allowed to travel with them. However, upon reaching Ruusan, their ship was shot down and Rain was lost in the crash. Tomcat and Bug were rescued by Snapit, but they were set upon by a group of Sith warriors. Snapit sacrificed himself to allow the boys to escape, but Tomcat remained behind to steal Snapit's lightsaber. Later, Tomcat grew impatient with the Jedi, wishing to join the battle instead of doing menial duties and learning patience. He joined Lord Charny's forces, and gleefully killed a Sith in his first battle, but this only drew Tomcat closer to the Dark Side of the Force. When the Jedi appeared powerless to stop the Sith, Tomcat embraced the Dark Side fully. He joined Githany and the Sith, and was the being responsible for murdering Lord Charny. He chose to abandon the name Tomcat and use his true name, Darovit. Just before Lord Kaan unleashed the thought bomb, Tomcat and Bug faced each other in battle. Bug was injured by Githany, as she tried to collect Tomcat and escape before the bomb was activated. Before they could escape, Bug was killed by a falling stone and Githany fell into a deep chasm. Tomcat managed to survive the thought bomb, and wandered the blasted surface of Ruusan with two bouncers as companions, to mature by himself.
