- "I'll be visiting Eriadu for the first time soon, as part of a pathfinding class. They don't tell us which mountain ranges we might have to find our way through, but I thought you might have an idea."
"The Rivoche Ranges. You've done your homework." - ―Leia Organa and Wilhuff Tarkin
The Rivoche Ranges were a mountain range on the Outer Rim planet Eriadu. At some point, the planet's native Imperial Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin learned about the range.[1]
In 3 BBY,[2] the Alderaanian Princess Leia Organa conducted research on Eriadu's terrain in preparation for her upcoming pathfinding class trip to the planet. While attending an Apprentice Legislature reception on the Core Worlds planet Coruscant, Organa met Tarkin and asked him about the mountain ranges on his homeworld, hoping to flatter the Eriadu native by letting him expound on a topic with which he was familiar. Tarkin told the princess about the Rivoche Ranges, remarking that she had done her research.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The Rivoche Ranges were mentioned in Leia, Princess of Alderaan, a 2017 young-adult novel written by Claudia Gray.[1] The Rivoche Ranges partially share their name with Rivoche Tarkin, a character introduced to the Star Wars Legends continuity in "Eyewitness to Apocalypse," a vignette written by Michael Allen Horne for the West End Games' 1993 Dark Empire Sourcebook.[3]
