Rykoff

"Better step it up, though&emdash;you and Rykoff both. You don't want to give Curry a real reason to yell."

- Zare Leonis warns his new squadmates to pick up the hustle

'Rykoff was a male cadet in Lothal's Academy for Young Imperials. He was assigned to squad LRC077, and was a member of Unit Aurek. He was a replacement for Jai Kell, a Force-sensitive individual who had escaped from the academy with the help of Zare Leonis and the Lothal rebels in order to go into hiding. Rykoff tended to be somewhat calmer than Kabak, another cadet who joined the Imperial Academy around the same time.

History
Rykoff, along with Kabak, joined Lothal's Academy for Young Imperials as a cadet to replace Jai Kell, who had been forced into hiding. He and Kabak were both initially disturbed by the yelling of one of the academy's tougher sergeants, Currahee, not realizing that it was largely for show, as the academy's weakest cadets had already been weeded out. Zare Leonis, a cadet who was secretly hoping to rescue his sister, immediately noted Rykoff's calm temperament in comparison with Kabak.

Both Kabak and Rykoff were witnesses to a confrontation between Leonis and Nazhros Oleg in which Oleg insinuated that Leonis was a traitor and the two then nearly came to blows. The entire group was then punished collectively by Currahee, given three demerits each and forced to run laps at 0400 in the morning.
