Amos Rike was a General in the Galactic Republic, a Human male who lived during the time of the Galactic War. His dedication to the Republic was immense, and he often exceeded the scope of his given orders to fulfill what he believed was his duty. When the Eternal Alliance emerged as a significant new power in the galaxy, particularly due to the inclusion of numerous defectors from the Republic, Rike considered them enemies of the Republic, regardless of the prevailing political climate. After the Eternal Empire Empress Vaylin died in 3630 BBY, Rike spearheaded a group of loyalists, including Captain Dakarus Garnik, Lieutenant Jom Shomo, and Major Nayva Isoder, in an effort to displace the Alliance's forces on Denova and seize the planet's Baradium Mines. Admiral Bey'wan Aygo of the Alliance, who had known Rike from his time in the Republic, dispatched a strike team to Denova with the objective of retaking the mines. Rike's followers were systematically defeated, culminating in Rike himself confronting the Alliance forces within a prototype hovertank. He justified his actions by asserting that the mines had originally been stolen from the Republic. Even after his hovertank sustained damage, Rike declared that insurmountable odds were no reason to give up and engaged his enemies in direct combat, ultimately being overwhelmed and killed. Following his demise, Aygo acknowledged Rike as a true patriot of the Republic, albeit one who had been misguided.
