Ralrracheen

From ambassador to the Old Republic to slave of the Galactic Empire, this tall, powerfully built Wookiee had seen all sides of life from an unusual perspective. Ralrra (short for Ralrracheen) had a speech impediment which made him easier for non-Wookiees to understand, a useful trait when he was Kashyyyk's ambassador to the Old Republic. As a slave to the Empire, he was used by his Imperial masters to communicate with other Wookiees. At first, he tried to resist Imperial occupation forces but forced himself to comply after they executed a dozen women and children from his family unit. His proximity to Imperial officers provided him with information vital to the Alliance's effort to free Kashyyyk. Like most Wookiees, after the Alliance freed Kashyyyk, he felt he owed a life debt to the Alliance for its efforts.

When Chewbacca brought Princess Leia Organa Solo to Kashyyyk to keep her safe from Grand Admiral Thrawn's Noghri Death Commandos, Ralrra was one of two Wookiees assigned to protect her. Years later, Ralrra was present at Chewbacca's funeral.
