- "As we speak, the frozen planet of Rinn is facing an energy crisis."
- ―Commander Jun Sato
Rinn was an ice planet[2] located in the galaxy.[1] Around 4 BBY,[source?] the people of Rinn faced an energy crisis: once their dwindling supply of fuel cells had run out, they would be unable to power the heaters necessary for their survival. This predicament prompted rebel commander Jun Sato to task the Spectres with acquiring more generators.[1]
Sometime later, one of the A-Wing rebel pilots of Phoenix Squadron was patrolling around Rinn until he was attacked by imperial forces. He returned to Sato wounded. The pilot said he thought he had lost them but the Imperials found where Phoenix Cell was hiding, which lead to a battle.[4]
Rinn was the homeworld of Resistance major Taslin Brance, a male human.[3]
