Ria'gan Kale

"You aren't some two-bit hero, Ri; you're the real thing. Those are the ideals that could change that entire world." -Teshik, encouraging Ria'gan to campaign for Ryloth's Senate seat

The life of Ria'gan Kale reads like a holodrama. At a young age, Ria'gan lost her mother and was raised by an alcoholic father with a gambling addiction. She was sold to a slaver to pay off his debts and worked for several masters on Nar Shaddaa before a visiting Dark Jedi recognized her force potential. Bought once more, she was taken to Sith space where she began to train as a Dark Jedi. Despite her hard life, Ria'gan had a gentle heart which struggled against the concepts she was taught. When she saw a captured wookiee, the chains on his wrists were more than she could tolerate and she hatched a plan to free him. Teshik swore a life-debt to her as the two escaped back to the Rebellion. Ria'gan began training as a Jedi and joined the army, where she eventually rose to the rank of General. After losing her left arm in battle, for years she had it replaced with only an obvious cybernetic.

Ria'gan eventually campaigned and won a Senate seat to represent her homeworld of Ryloth. Her once-estranged, now-reformed, father won the position of Governor, creating what would become known as the Kale Dynasty. When the galaxy was thrown into war against her dear Teshik, Ria'gan found herself forced to lead her team, known as the Sith Slayers, on a ground attack against the wookiee. She faced off against Teshik, only able to hold him back as neither could bring themselves to hurt the other, though this allowed the Colonel Kit Corell his chance to mortally wound Teshik. After Teshik's death, Ria'gan resigned her commission in the army, focusing solely on her Senatorial duties. Despite the evil he had become, she deeply mourned Teshik and found comfort in her bodyguard, Let Ji. Eventually she married Let and the two had a small family.

Ria'gan was known as exceedingly kind-hearted with a tongue of pure silver. She was one of the fiercest fighters of her time, able to hold her own against some of the most dangerous beings in the galaxy. Despite her considerable combat prowess, she gave her opponents every opportunity to surrender, hating to resort to violence.
