Legend

this Massassi served as one of Naga Sadow's top commanders during the Great Hyperspace War, some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Like Sadow's other commanders, Ra-Zyrth was altered by ancient Sith magic to become a monstrous warrior, then placed into a suspended animation capsule for transport to Coruscant. Once there, Sadow planned to release his commanders on the unsuspecting Old Republic and take the planet by force. The Sith forces were defeated in combat, but Ra-Zyrth was unaccounted for among the death. Modern rumors persist that his suspended animation capsule landed on Coruscant by failing to open, leaving Ra-Zyrth preserved for the millennia. Other stories claim his capsule opened properly, and he fought the ancient Jedi Knights to his death. This latter story isn't nearly as popular as the first, which was often used by parents to keep their children from exploring too deeply beneath Coruscan't surface, lest they accidentally open the capsule and release the Massassi warrior from his slumber.
