Rryatt Trail The Rryatt Trail was a long and winding trail that eventually led its travelers to the shadowy surface of Kashyyyk . It started from Rwookrrorro and snaked all the way down to the Well of the Dead in the Shadowlands . It was home to many of the most ferocious examples of the wildlife on the Wookiee planet , including jaddyyk moss , needlebugs , rkkrrkkrl , kkekkrrg rro , mouf s , katarn , rroshm , and terentateks , along with many other ferocious beasts . Wookiees and off - world adventurers alike would test their skills on the lower , more dangerous parts of the Trail , and hunting the creatures in the very depths of the Trail was part of the Wookiee Hrrtayyk ceremony , a rite of passage for young Wookiees . The access to the Rryatt Trail was guarded by the Rryatt Ceremonial Guard . The Trail had Wookiee guides along the paths to help adventurers find their way . Achonnko was the Master Trail Guide of the Rryatt Trail in 1 ABY . He had traversed and learned the entire Trail , and knew its many ins and outs . History . Galactic Civil War ( 1 ABY ) . During the Galactic Civil War in 1 ABY , the Trail was home to many events of varying importance . Along the initial level , the Common Paths , Master Trail Guide Achonnko tasked a spacer with exploring the Trail in its entirety . A Wookiee named Krepauk resided on this level in the same year . He was the Huntmaster of the Rryatt Trail and tasked those who wished to test themselves in the wilds of the Trail with feats of strength . His final test was often to slay one of the fearsome katarn beasts in the Shadowlands and return its claws . Those who succeeded were rewarded with a fearsome weapon crafted from the claws . A Human hunter and undercover member of the Wookiee slave resistance , Carl Mosik , along with his Wookiee friend , Zhailaut , were responsible for the initial hiring of the spacers who eventually killed Lord Cyssc Blackscale . Hidden from the Empire ' s prying eyes , a Rebel commando unit had set up a small base here . The second level , the High Grounds , was home to the crazed former Jedi , Urootar , whom Krepauk wished killed for the safety of the Trail , and also housed a secret camp of escaped Wookiee slaves . A small group of the Rodian hunters from the Etyyy hunting grounds , led by a male Rodian named Tressk , had also set up camp along this level , hunting the various creatures that inhabited it . On the third level , known as the Wroshyr Canopy , a group of poachers had begun hunting on the various wildlife . Tressk , the Rodian leader from the High Grounds , tasked a spacer with eliminating these poachers . A former group of Rodian hunters from the group on the High Grounds level were also spotted on this level , having become lost and driven mad by something unknown . Treesk hired a spacer to to kill these " embarrassments " . The fourth level , the Webweaver Path , held a camp of feral Wookiees , who recklessly attacked all who came near their camp . Krepauk , during a spacer ' s test of strength , tasked them with delivering the feral Wookiees to their " final rest " . A Blackscale Clan slaver camp was also present here . A female Wookiee named Kymayrr living in Kachirho sent a spacer to this camp to rescue her son , Rroot . The final level , the Shadowlands , were inhabited by a group of Gotal hunters who had taken up residence within the Shadowlands , easily adapting to life in the dark , dank underworld . A large presence of B1 battle droids , B2 super battle droids and droidekas was also known , having been abandoned on the planet after the conclusion of the Battle of Kashyyyk during the Clone Wars . A Wookiee by the name of Lobarorr hid in the Shadowlands , living in shame after he had murdered his friend out of jealously over his father ' s weapon . Huntermaster of the Trail , Krepauk , sent a spacer during a test of strength , instructing them to kill both a minstyngar named Scratch and a katarn within the Shadowlands . Black Fleet Crisis ( 16 ABY ) . During the Black Fleet Crisis crisis in 16 ABY , Chewbacca assisted his son Lumpawarrump in his right of passage on the final level of the Trail , the Shadowlands , hoping to kill a katarn . However , before they were able to locate one , Chewbacca received notice that Han Solo had been captured by the Yevetha and had to halt the hunt . Lumpawarrump accompanied his father , and through his effort in helping to free Solo , Chewbacca declared that his son had symbolically faced the katarn , and declared him an adult , changing his name to Lumpawaroo . Geography . The Rryatt Trail was broken up into five separate levels , each with trail guides to aid travelers traversing the grand Trail . The second , third , and fourth levels had two guides , one on each end of the level , to assist travelers in either going back up a level , or going down a level . The fifth level had only one guide , who only assisted travelers in going back up , as it was the end of the Trail . The first level , known as the Common Paths , had one guide at its end , but also had a Master Trail Guide near the beginning , who could guide travelers to any level of the Trail . The Common Paths . The Common Paths were the first level of the Trail , and they were relatively the safest area . The paths on this level were set along the tops of a series of hills set above the canopy of the Wroshyr trees of Kashyyyk . This level of the Trail was home to a variety of walluga and bolotaur . Most travelers were encouraged to stay on the Common Paths . At the beginning of this level was a small rest area , complete with a medical bay and a 2 - 1B surgical droid , for those travelers unlucky enough to be hurt in their explorations along the trail . This rest area was also where the Master Trail Guide , Achonnko , assisted travelers down to the other levels of the Trail . Achonnko would only assist travelers down to levels they had already been to , however . High Grounds . The High Grounds were the second level of the Trail , and was dominated by thick foliage . Like the Common Paths , the paths on this level were set along various hills , although it snaked deep enough into the forest that you could just see the tops of the trees , along with many of its final paths being supported on the very peak of the trees . This level was known to house a variety of mouf s and bolotaur . Wroshyr Canopy . The third level was the Wroshyr Canopy , which was , as its name implies , the canopy of the Wroshyr trees . This entire section consisted of the intertwined branches of several of the immense trees . It was home to a variety of minstyngar , sathog , jyykle vulture , and fern bicker . Webweaver Path . The fourth level was the Webweaver Path , so named because it was infested with wyyyschokk , more commonly known as the webweaver . The level consisted of a long trail of interconnected branches of the wroshyr trees , which were further connected by a series of low lying hills . At the time of the Galactic Civil War , a group of feral Wookiees had set up a primitive camp on a high - rising rock formation that could be reached via the giant branches of the wroshyr trees . Another group that had built a camp in this region was the Trandoshan Blackscale Clan The Shadowlands . The Shadowlands ( sometimes referred to as the Shadow Forest ) were the fifth and final level of the Trail . The Shadowlands were the surface , or ground level of Kashyyyk , completely removed from direct sunlight by the massive wroshyr trees that hung overhead . This level was home to some of the most vicious beasts of Kashyyyk , including jaddyyk moss , needlebugs , minstyngar , kkekkrrg rro , rroshm , katarn , and terentatek . Many rites of passage for young Wookiee adults took place here , as well as tests of skill for off - worlders , as it was the most inhospitable area on Kashyyyk . Behind the scenes . The Rryatt Trail is an explorable area with the aforementioned five separate levels in " Star Wars Galaxies : An Empire Divided " . The Trail , along with the rest of the planet Kashyyyk , were added to the game with the expansion pack " " , which was released May 5 th , 2005 . Within the game , it is host to a vast array of enemies and quests for the player to complete , many offering unique rewards never before seen within the game , such as an unarmed weapon made out of the claws of a katarn , or a Kashyyyk bantha creature mount . Like several areas in the expansion , it is split up into six separate instanced areas , while a limited number of players may access and play together in each instance . Due to " Star Wars Galaxies " open - ended nature , there is no strict timeline of the events that took place on the Trail in 1 ABY . The final level of the Rryatt Trail , the Shadowlands , also appeared in the video game " " , but since the Shadowlands covers nearly the entirety of Kashyyyk ' s surface , it is unknown if it is the same portion seen at the end of the Rryatt Trail .
