Darth Rauder

"My rule is simple. You will obey me&mdash;or you will die."

- Darth Rauder to Gunner Yage.

Darth Rauder was a humanoid Sith Lady of the One Sith, serving the Galactic Empire. She was the leader of the Sith contingent of pilots aboard the Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer War Hammer, flagship of the First Sith Imperial Strikeforce.

Biography
Rauder forced Captain Gunn Yage's Squadron to switch over to a new design of Sith-designed Starfighter instead of the Predator-class fighters they were more familiar with, causing Yage to protest. Lady Rauder threatened to kill Yage if she didn't followed the Sith Lady's orders.

During Operation: Thunderstroke, Lady Rauder ordered Captain Yage and the members of Skull Squadron to fire on the Bastion resistance pilots who ejected from their starfighters. When Yage refused, the Sith Lady began to torture her using the Force and threatened to telekinetically kill her. However, Lieutenant Tev Rimon shot the pilot instead, sparing Yage the choice of killing an unarmed enemy. Though Rauder spared Yage, the Sith Lady wasn't pleased and threatened to kill Rimon if he went against her orders again.



Lady Rauder was also present during the poisoning of Da Soocha and the bombing of Napdu under the command of Sith Lord Darth Azard, Moff Yage and scientist Vul Isen. Aboard her Sith Fury, Rauder labeled the civilian vessels fleeing Napdu as "enemy combatants", despite them being unarmed, and ordered the member of Skull Squadron to destroy them. Though Tev Rimon and Jae Akura protested, Captain Yage acquiesced and told her subordinates to follow the Sith Lady's command. Lady Rauder comandered the Skull Squadron also during the Attack on the Hidden Temple and guided their to kill many Allied and Fel loyalist Starfighter. As the battle raged on, Jedi Master T'ra Saa ordered the ships that formed the Hidden Temple to take flight and escape. Aboard one of these ships, Masters Tili Qua and K'Kruhk took a number of Jedi younglings to safety. Sensing their presence aboard the ship, Darth Rauder ordered Skull Squadron to destroy it. Refusing to murder defenseless children, Captain Yage took the chance and shot down Rauder's starfighter, killing the Sith Lady and regaining her honor.
