Rith Tar'ak

Rith Tar'ak functioned as an operative for the Alliance to Restore the Republic, identifying as an Ebranite.

Biography

When she was a child, Rith Tar'ak witnessed the Galactic Empire take control of Ebra, her home planet. Rith and her sisters, Nyik and Tor'ara, who were Rull, were made slaves.

They were able to escape Ebra by commandeering an Imperial shuttle. The Tar'aks forced the pilot to fly them to the Alliance to Restore the Republic. The Tar'aks became the first Ebranites to fight as soldiers for the Rebel Alliance.

They became members of the 28-person Scandium Team, which was stationed in the Tharin sector. The Scandiums' actions gained attention across the galaxy. The Tar'aks also established the Sandstorm Unit, which specialized in infiltrating desert environments. Rith was regarded as the most skilled desert infiltrator among the Tar'aks, even though she preferred more basic weaponry over blasters.

During the Wellte-ir Massacre, the Scandium Team suffered a defeat, with 22 of the 28 members losing their lives on the Bresnan plains. Rith was the only Ebranite who survived.

Following this, she was reassigned to Yntrann, a planet with a desert landscape.

Rith declined a promotion to the rank of Colonel so that she could go back to Ebra to recruit others. She was then given a specially modified 5DS protocol droid, named A-5DS, which Rith herself reprogrammed. She utilized A-5DS to make contact with Ebranite slaves who were being forced to labor in the mines of Grythsorin canyon.
