Rus Kal Kin, a male Saurin hailing from the planet Durkteel, gained notoriety on his homeworld for piloting transports providing relief to refugees during the Separatist Crisis. Following the transformation of the Galactic Republic into the Galactic Empire, he joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic as a pilot, participating in the Galactic Civil War. His exceptional piloting skills and demonstrated reliability led to his selection by Leia Organa for a team tasked with identifying a mole within the Alliance. This clandestine team operated without official sanction, known only to Mon Mothma beyond its members, and was also charged with locating a new planet suitable for establishing an Alliance base.
The character Ru Kal Kin debuted in the second issue of the Star Wars comic book series, published by Dark Horse Comics. This particular issue was written by Brian Wood, with illustrations by Carlos D'Anda and colors by Gabe Eltaeb. Its release date was February 13, 2013.
