Rorworr ( Naboo ) Rorworr , born in 49 BBY , was a male Wookiee who lived on Naboo with his father , an ambassador . With help from his translator droid TD0 - 2 , Rorworr studied at the Royal House of Learning in Naboo ' s capital city , Theed , and often explored the wilderness areas surrounding the city . The Wookiee had a penchant for adventure , and assisted the Jedi Rann I - Kanu with the investigation and defeat of a group of veermok smugglers . In 32 BBY , Rorworr helped defend Naboo during the planet ' s invasion by Trade Federation forces . He served as a member of Naboo Resistance and the Naboo Underground , freed several military and civilian prisoners , and helped Queen Amidala ' s forces infiltrate Theed undetected . During the battle itself , the Wookiee assisted in diverting enemy troops from Amidala ' s forces , defeated a Vulture droid in Theed ' s Palace Plaza , and intercepted a counterfeit treaty forged by the Trade Federation . When Naboo had been liberated from the Trade Federation , Rorworr continued to serve the people of Naboo . He helped defeat Savor Kibbs and aided in establishing a colony on Naboo ' s largest moon , Ohma - D ' un . Rorworr later became an agent of the Galactic Republic and served Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and the Jedi Council as a scout in a variety of missions until the end of the Clone Wars . After the formation of the Galactic Empire , the Wookiee served as an agent and pilot for the Rebellion , gunrunning and gathering military intelligence . After intercepting Imperial High Inquisitor Volytar at the Battle of Skorrupon , Rorworr became known among the Rebellion as one of the heroes of Skorrupon . Once the New Republic was founded , however , Rorworr left military service to become an independent explorer and an adventurer . He made a name for himself as he contested the exploitation of wilderness planets and their native species . Biography . Youth on Naboo . A male Wookiee born in 49 BBY on Kashyyyk , Rorworr was brought to Naboo as a child when his father was assigned to act as an ambassador between the two planets . His father ' s station allowed Rorworr to attend the Royal House of Learning in Naboo ' s capital city , Theed , assisted by his translator droid , TD0 - 2 . It was here that the Wookiee began learning to fly spacecraft , practicing with local N - 1 starfighters . He also befriended several other students while attending classes , including Jedi Padawan Sia - Lan Wezz ; Dané , a young girl who was secretly training to become a handmaiden ; Galak , a volunteer in the Royal Naboo Security Forces ; Arani Korden , Theed - born daughter of a House Korden noble ; and Deel Surool , a Twi ' lek whose wealthy parents set up a trading emporium on Naboo . Young Rorworr had a love for exploring the wilderness beyond Theed , and often slipped away from school for several days at a time . The Wookiee ' s curiosity led him to explore many places hidden away from the city . Occasionally , he came across equally curious Gungan explorers , a species of amphibious natives that he found to be interesting . While on a field trip , he found a friend in the young Toba , a daring Gungan who was the eldest son of a wealthy Otoh Gunga family . Rorworr also had a fondness for stargazing on his excursions . At some point , Jedi Master Ali - Vor brought his Padawan , Rann I - Kanu , to Naboo in order to further his Padawan ' s training . Ali - Vor enrolled I - Kanu in the Royal House of Learning and regularly assigned tasks to his apprentice . While Ali - Vor was investigating poachers who were smuggling veermok off - planet , he asked I - Kanu to investigate rumors that some of the smugglers were operating out of a secret base near Theed , although Ali - Vor had not considered the rumors to be true . I - Kanu enlisted the aid of Rorworr , Galak , and Korden , friends he had made while at the Royal House of Learning , to help with the investigation . Using a map acquired by one of Korden ' s contacts , Rorworr guided the team to a ruined jungle shrine . The group infiltrated the hidden base found near the shrine , defeated the smugglers and their leader Saidle Frex , and rescued Tasrah Boh , a captured professor of archaeology from the House of Learning . Invasion of Naboo . In 32 BBY , the Galactic Senate , the governing body of the Galactic Republic , passed legislation calling for the taxation of trade routes to outlying star systems . A trade dispute soon developed between the Republic and a megacorporation known as the Trade Federation , resulting in the blockade of Naboo . At an early point in the blockade , Rorworr and a few other students met with Raymas Daal , a small - time criminal , in the Naboo city of Kwilaan . Daal had a new backer , and offered the team 10 , 000 to temporarily deactivate a Naboo sensor array located just outside of the city . Daal told the students he simply wanted to evade taxes on a rare spice shipment in order to increase profits , and intended to land while the sensor was deactivated . In reality , Daal ' s unnamed backer was the Trade Federation , which wanted to move jamming satellites into Naboo space undetected in preparation for an invasion of the planet . The meeting was interrupted by plain - clothes members of the Royal Naboo Security Forces , who intended to apprehend Daal for questioning ; Daal , however , escaped , as did Rorworr and his companions . Fulfilling Daal ' s task , the students located the target array using information provided by Daal , and , bypassing four Security Guards and a pair of technicians , successfully disabled it . They returned to Kwilaan to locate Daal and collect their fee . A short time later , Rorworr and a group consisting of Sia - Lan Wezz , Deel Surool , Dané , Galak , and Arani Korden booked passage off - world on the freighter " Crescent " , captained by Nuun Pargen of Alderaan . Immediately after taking off from Theed , Trade Federation droid starfighters fired upon the freighter , wounding Nuun ' s daughter , Inea Pargen . Nuun was forced to perform an emergency landing on the Great Grass Plains . Captain Pargen tried to repair the freighter , and sent Rorworr and his friends back into Theed to procure medical supplies for Inea ' s recovery . However , the Trade Federation Droid Army began to invade the palatial city just as the crew acquired their supplies . During the course of their escape from Theed , the team encountered resistance from B1 battle droids and droidekas . They helped a family of Naboo nobles balance luggage on an overloaded speeder to escape the city safely , freed a collection of civilians and Security Guards from a droid prison escort , and resolved a firefight involving outnumbered Security Forces . They avoided the Main Boulevard Bridge , where the bulk of the invading forces filtered into the city , as well as the Theed Royal Palace . Eventually , they encountered one Chee Mobok , a frightened Twi ' lek textiles merchant who spoke very little Basic . After calming Mobok down , the crew learned that he had crashed an airspeeder into a nearby pond . Together , they fished the speeder out of the pond and used it to effect the rest of their escape . Rorworr piloted the speeder along a tributary of the Solleu River , over the occupied Main Boulevard Bridge , and out onto the river proper . The Federation forces on the bridge fired at the speeder , and three Single Trooper Aerial Platforms broke from the battle to pursue the group . During the chase , Rorworr ' s maneuvers caused one STAP to crash into a Multi - Troop Transport , disabling the transport ' s cooling fins and sinking it in the river . After shaking the remaining STAPs , the group abandoned their battered speeder in Lianorm Swamp . Mobok was soon mauled by a veermok . When the group defeated the creature , they found themselves surrounded by a Gungan patrol . Led by Sergeant Mokem , the patrol escorted Rorworr ' s group to the borders of Lianorm . They followed the edge of the swamp , intending to rendezvous with Captain Pargen ; however , when the group arrived , they found that the " Crescent " had already departed . In its place , they found a group of Gran and Rodian pirates fighting a small force of Naboo Security . Rorworr ' s group intervened , defeating the pirates , but only a lone Security Guard , Mett Habble , survived the firefight . Resistance and Underground . Habble was one of Governor Sio Bibble ' s disguised agents , and also the organizer of the recently formed Naboo Resistance . Habble guided the group to the Resitance camp , encouraging Rorworr to fly the speeder while he questioned the group about their escape from Theed . Rorworr ' s team parted ways with Chee Mobok when they arrived at the camp . Habble informed the passengers from the " Crescent " that although Theed and the Royal Palace had been captured by the forces of Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray , Naboo ' s Queen Amidala had escaped the planet in the company of a pair of Jedi Knights . After a brief respite , Habble invited the crew to a meeting with two other Resistance leaders , Lieutenant Nathaniel Camaran and Oti Trinta . During the meeting , the crew joined the Resistance . Rorworr and several fellow students from the Royal House of Learning were placed in the charge of Lucos Dannt ; the former headmaster of the school was a leader of the Naboo Underground , a cell of the Resistance that operated in and around Theed . Rorworr ' s first - hand knowledge of the Naboo countryside proved invaluable to the Underground as the group attempted to undermine the Trade Federation ' s occupation . While scouting Theed , Rorworr , Galak , Surool , and Wezz encountered a patrol of four battle droids . The group attempted to flee , but became cornered in an alley containing STAP wreckage and containers of speeder parts . The group fought and defeated the droids , after which Rorworr discovered a datacard in the STAP wreckage that contained the location of a Trade federation internment camp and a list of the Naboo leaders imprisoned there . Rorworr participated in several prison breaks over the course of the next week . The Underground had learned that a group of recently captured RSF pilots and guards was being held in a lightly guarded building near Theed ' s central Palace Plaza and that the prisoners ' confiscated weapons were being stored near the facility . The prisoners were scheduled to soon be relocated to a more heavily guarded facility . Dannt determined that the opportunity to free the high - value prisoners and bolster the ranks of the resistance could not be missed . Since all of the other , more experienced Underground teams were already in the field , Dannt assigned the task of jailbreaking the facility to his former disciples . Rorworr and a posse of other students infiltrated Theed and reached the target building , where they quickly dispatched a pair of Neimoidian guards . The group broke into both the holding cells and the neighboring armory , issuing confiscated weaponry to the seven prisoners . As the students attempted to escort the prisoners to safety , the group was ambushed by a small force of Trade Federation OOM security battle droid s . The Underground team routed the reinforcements and lead the prisoners to the Underground ' s headquarters . Many of the prisoners joined the Underground , strengthening the resistance movement . While Rorworr ' s team was recuperating from their previous mission , Dannt introduced the students to Lialla Tane , a resistance operative . Tane explained that she had heard of the students ' exploits and requested their help . She had learned that her parents , Minister of Culture Kyu Tane and his wife , were being held by the Trade Federation in a prison camp on the Street of Glory very near the Theed Royal Palace . Tane was concerned for the health of her parents , since the Trade Federation wasn ' t feeding any of their prisoners . Tane , who was to participate in another mission , asked the students to free her parents . She provided information about the opposition the team would face , including the presence of a battle droid patrol in the area . Lialla advised the team that the prison consisted of unbreakable portable energy walls , and that a pair of Neimoidians overseeing the facility were able to deactivate an energy gate with a keypad . When the students arrived on the Street of Glory outside of the prison , they approached and negotiated with the Neimoidian overseers , who easily parted with the gate code , before turning their attention to the pair of Security Droids guarding the gate . After dispatching the droid guards , the students opened the prison . The cell itself housed the Tane family , four Naboo citizens , and one wounded RSF pilot . All of the prisoners were skeptical of their rescuers , and only the Tane family initially agreed to escape . A patrol of four battle droids arrived at the scene , alerted by the Neimoidians , and the students were forced to defeat the patrol before the remaining prisoners were convinced that they could be kept safe during the escape . The students escorted the prisoners back to the Naboo Underground , reuniting Lialla and a number of other Underground operatives with their families . However , Rorworr and his classmates were eventually captured . They were held in Prison Compound 32 , a Trade Federation prison camp that was built from portable energy walls within the city of Theed . The group was imprisoned with Ruto Graven , who was Assistant Minister of Internal Affairs for Queen Amidala ; Private Boraso , an RSF Security Guard ; and the artist Ela Sivel . Boraso , who had been wounded in battle , had managed to hide a set of security tools in his belt when he was captured , but did not have the personal expertise to use the tools . While talking with the other prisoners , the team came under very brief scrutiny by a Sith Lord , Darth Maul . Soon after , the students attempted to escape by distracting the pair of OOM security battle droids guarding the energy gate while they covertly disabled the gate ' s control console . The students managed to disable the gate and grab their weapons and gear that was stored in a crate just outside the prison entrance . Rorworr ' s group defeated the immediate guards and held off a squad of four B1 battle droids while their cellmates escaped . At another point during the occupation , Rorworr , Surool , Wezz , and Korden reentered Theed , sprung a Trade Federation trap , and took cover in an alley . Planning to escape through a door at the end of the alley , Rorworr , Korden , and Wezz provided a diversion while Surool attempted to slice the door ' s electronic lock . The fighters surprised a unit of B1 battle droids and held off their reinforcements . Rorworr ' s team began to retreat down the alley when a pair of droidekas rolled up . Surool opened the door , and all four students were surprised by what they saw on the other side . Reclaiming Naboo . Queen Amidala , after failing to persuade the Galactic Senate to intervene and end the Trade Federation ' s invasion , returned to Naboo . When Amidala requested that Mett Habble bring his best people to a planning session , Habble summoned Rorworr and his team to participate . The group followed Habble through Lianorm Swamp to the landing site of the Queen ' s J - type 327 Nubian royal starship . They were greeted by the Queen and her handmaidens ; Captain Quarsh Panaka , head of the Royal Naboo Security Forces ; Boss Nass , leader of the Gungans ; Jar Jar Binks , a Gungan ; two Jedi , Qui - Gon Jinn and Obi - Wan Kenobi ; their Force - sensitive ward from Tatooine , Anakin Skywalker ; and various Gungan and Underground generals . During the planning session , Amidala announced her plan to enter Theed via a secret passage . The leaders decided that using a Trade Federation Troop Transport would be the ideal way to approach the passage undetected , but realized that acquiring one would be difficult . At this point , Rorworr ' s team spoke up , volunteering information on the MTT that sank into the Solleu during their initial escape from Theed . With this information , the leaders formalized the main attack plan . Boss Nass volunteered his Gungan engineers , the Gungengineeren , to repair and salvage the submerged transport ; however , his Gungan scouts were unable to locate the MTT . Queen Amidala tasked Rorworr ' s team with escorting the Gungengineeren to the site because the crew from the " Crescent " knew the exact location of the transport . The unit was also assigned to guard the Gungengineeren during the operation , since the Queen wanted to reassure the Gungans that the Naboo were committed to mutual cooperation . Rorworr and two others piloted three unfamiliar tribubble bongo s , docking with a hydrostatic bubble to rendezvous with Koh Pa Wupps and his team of Gungengineers . Loading the engineers and their tools into the submersible s , Wupps directed the group around Lake Paonga , up the lower Solleu River , and through an underwater passage at the base of the Virdugo Plunge that lead to the upper Solleu , dodging a group of opee sea killers along the way . When the group located the downed MTT , the Gungengineeren began work on transporting it upriver for repair while Rorworr ' s team patrolled the area in the bongos . The site was attacked by a young , orphaned colo claw fish , which Rorworr ' s team defeated through piloting skill with the unarmed submersibles . Battle for Theed . Rorworr piloted the retrofitted MTT , Transport 714 , to the secret passage at the base of Theed ' s cliff wall , where the team unloaded Amidala , who was disguised as a handmaiden , the handmaiden Sabé , who was disguised as the Queen , Captain Panaka , the Jedi Jinn and Kenobi , Skywalker , the astromech droid R2 - D2 , and three dozen Naboo troops . Rorworr and his team were assigned to guard the transport and to monitor Federation radio traffic using its transponder . When the Gungan Grand Army drew the Trade Federation forces away from Theed , Transport 714 was contacted by PDA - 2 , the OOM command battle droid assigned to remain behind and guard the Palace . Using a jury - rigged vocabulator , Rorworr ' s team tricked PDA - 2 into believing that the transport was too badly damaged to move under its own power . PDA - 2 overrode the transport ' s manual controls and remotely piloted it to Theed Hangar ' s repair bay , within the city . The unit ambushed the forces of ADO - 8 , a command battle droid guarding the repair bay . Rorworr ' s team once again briefly encountered Darth Maul , who quickly left the repair bay in search of Jinn and Kenobi . The party found their way outside , in front of Theed ' s Royal Palace , where they encountered Sabé — still disguised as the Queen — and a small escort of Security Guards and soldiers . Sabé requested the crew ' s assistance in creating a diversion that would allow them to enter the Palace . The team engaged an Armored Assault Tank , a single STAP patrol , and a squad of eight battle droids , distracting them long enough to allow Sabé and her retinue to infiltrate the Palace directly . Rorworr and the other students escaped the Plaza as Royal Security Forces began engaging the Trade Federation Army throughout Theed . The students evaded several battle droid patrols and eventually found their way back to the Palace Plaza . A Vulture droid , supplemented by four battle droids , had replaced the previous patrol . The droids were firing at the occupants in the Plaza — four unarmed civilians , a pair of RSF Guards , and an RSF pilot with an R2 - series astromech droid . Rorworr ' s unit intervened , eventually securing the Plaza . The pilot , severely wounded , claimed that the astromech droid contained vital information , and charged the students with seeing that it found its way to Queen Amidala . One of the wounded Security Guards likewise charged Rorworr ' s team with ensuring that a diplomatic pouch found its way to Ambassador Kron of Alderaan . Returning to the Royal Hangar , Rorworr ' s team ambushed the escort of a Neimoidian counterfeiter , Gode Takrab . After interrogating Takrab , they learned that he had forged a treaty between Naboo and the Trade Federation , as well as doctored a holovid of Queen Amidala endorsing the phony document . Rorworr ' s team scoured Takrab ' s shuttle and eventually found the fake agreement hidden within Takrab ' s protocol droid , TC - 11 . Nute Gunray sent a squad of battle droids led by RK - 7 to secure the shuttle for his own escape . Rorworr ' s unit was nearly overwhelmed , but managed to hold the shuttle until the " Lucrehulk " - class Droid Control Ship orbiting the planet was destroyed , neutralizing the droid forces and ending the battle . After the Invasion . In gratitude for their services to Naboo during the weeks of occupation , as well as their exemplary performance during the Battle of Naboo , a grateful Queen Amidala bestowed the honorary title of Palace Guard upon Rorworr , Wezz , Surool , Korden , Galak , and Dané . Rorworr spent the rest of the day freeing prisoners from internment camps . The group was visited later in the day by Captain Pargen and his daughter . The " Crescent " had narrowly escaped the pirates and battle droids , but was forced to set down under Lake Paonga , where the vessel was eventually rescued by Gungans . That night , Rorworr and his friends attended a funeral for Qui - Gon Jinn , who had been slain by Darth Maul in the recent battle . During the ceremony , the students were approached by Lucos Dannt , Sabé , and Lialla Tane . Sabé asked the members of the defunct Underground to investigate a group of Naboo and Gungan refugees camped in some of Naboo ' s ancient ruins . The leader of the refugees was rumored to have plans against the throne , and intended to disrupt the Naboo - Gungan alliance . Tane , who had originally reported the camp , accompanied the team as a guide , and the unit set out in a speeder . When a large , falling tree forced the speeder to a halt , the craft and its occupants were assaulted by a large , powerfully built Naboo predator known as a grakkt . The venomous creature disabled the group ' s speeder before being driven off , forcing the team to continue their mission on foot . At one point , Tane tumbled into a large pool of quicksand , and had to be rescued . The group soldiered on through the swamp and came across a dark grove corrupted by the dark side of the Force . A mutated tangler tree at the center of the grove attacked the team with vines and projectile thorns until they were out of reach . Just outside the refugee camp , the group was attacked by a Force illusion of Darth Maul , secretly conjured by the renegade leader to deter the party from continuing . After overcoming the illusory Sith Lord , Rorworr and his friends discovered the refugee camp hidden among ancient Gungan ruins and were confronted by several of the renegades . Three of the refugees in particular , a tough - looking woman , a Gungan warrior , and an angry young man , condemned Amidala while praising their leader , a charismatic man by the name of Savor Kibbs , who was secretly a rejected Jedi Padawan . Kibbs , finally determining that the intruders must be eliminated , attacked the group with Force powers and a reactivated droideka . The party defeated Kibbs and ended the hypnotic influence he exerted over his followers . Sometime after the invasion was settled , Rorworr joined a project spearheaded by Queen Amidala , Master Kenobi , and Boss Nass to help develop a Gungan colony on Naboo ' s water moon , Ohma - D ' un . At the Naboo Civic Spaceport , Rorworr boarded a small Republic Sienar Systems shuttle , the " Fair Gale " , captained by Worlohp , an Ithorian . The other passengers — a pair of graduates of the Theed School of Technology and Engineering , Kharl Vanneb and Sakme Kelene ; Professor Hallem Celaar , a renowned zoological and botanical expert ; as well as Toba and a few of Rorworr ' s classmates from the Royal House of Learning — were also all part of the project . Sixteen minutes after takeoff , the " Fair Gale " collided with an object in Naboo ' s ionosphere . The impact caused a failing in the ship ' s conduit , which had begun leaking Kyvalon - 4 , a gas used in many repulsorlift systems . The gas , while harmless to most humanoids , was known to cause temporary homicidal insanity in Ithorians . Captain Worlohp entered the passenger bay to report colliding with debris from the Trade Federation Droid Control Ship that had been destroyed during the invasion . After breathing the Kyvalon - 4 , the Ithorian flew into a rage and attacked his passengers . The ensuing melee damaged several of the ship ' s vital systems , including the ship ' s navigation computer and life support systems . The passengers managed to subdue Worlohp , repair the navigation , life support , and repulsor systems , and land the shuttle safely . Rorworr stayed on with the Ohma - D ' un project for a time , earning a monthly salary of 2 , 000 and joint - ownership of the " Mystic Burn " , a YT - 1200 light freighter stored at the colony ' s moonbase . Republic service . As Rorworr grew into an adult , his heroism on Naboo eventually rolled him into serving with the Republic as a scout . He often went wherever the Republic needed his help , and generally ended up on small wilderness planets due to his skills in survival and exploration . At one point in the Wookiee ' s career , the Supreme Chancellor ' s office assigned Rorworr and former members of the Naboo Underground to investigate an island cove hidden on a jungle planet . Their goal was to discover who was supplying the Blue Star Pirates with military - grade weapons . After defeating a pair of pirates within the cove , the investigation team discovered a datacard from the Hyperdrive Cantina , a floating bar on the water planet Vorusku . The team followed the lead and subdued a group of thugs within the cantina . Then , having learned that the supplier was a local Vorusku crime lord , they tried to ascertain his identity , which led them into an ambush in a volcano city by a bounty hunter . After Rorworr and his partners acquired the identity of the supplier , Jalla Spree , Spree sent a droideka to attack the investigation team at a cliff - side slaver camp . In the wake of the Invasion of Naboo , several planets and corporations formed an alliance known as the Confederacy of Independent Systems . These systems seceded from the Republic in protest over perceived corruption within the Republic Senate . This resulted in several brutal skirmishes across the galaxy , including the devastation of the Ohma - D ' un colony , and by 22 BBY the galaxy was drawn into a full - scale conflict known as the Clone Wars . Weeks prior to the First Battle of Geonosis , the first official battle of the Clone Wars , Rorworr , Sia - Lan Wezz , and Deel Surool met Vor ' en Kurn , a blue - skinned Human soldier , while in a spaceport cantina on Corellia . There , the four foiled a Separatist assassination attempt on a Corulag Senator , Alastar Treen . Following this , the four frequently worked together . The team faced a variety of opponents and situations , such as attacks on Battle Droid commanders , the investigation of a bounty hunter operating out of the Royal Hutt Hotel , assaults on crime bosses , encounters with Tusken Raiders on Tatooine , cantina brawls with Aqualish and Rodian gangs , an escape from a battle droid garrison , an escape from a Colicoid - run prison in the Spice Mines of Kessel , a Jawa ambush in an abandoned armory , and even mounted blasters in the darkened corridors of the warlord Grumbog ' s space station fortress . The team was so successful that they occasionally received orders directly from the office of the Chancellor and the Jedi Council . One such mission had the group investigating the disappearance of a Republic arsenal ship that had been tasked with decommissioning the Trade Federation Army defeated at Naboo . The investigation led the team to Kwenn Space Station , where they defeated several re - activated battle droids . Another mission to which the team was assigned involved preventing Corann from being the first of the Core Worlds to withdraw from the Republic . Rorworr ' s team investigated rumors of Separatist activity on the small industrial planet and discovered a droid manufacturing plant . Another mission saw Chancellor Palpatine personally assign the team to investigate a Sith temple on the snow - covered planet of Puloorn . Along the way , they encountered marauders and navigated through challenging asteroid fields . Within the temple itself , they discovered dark side beasts and cultists . Over the years , the Wookiee made many recommendations regarding the development of new worlds , which the Republic often ignored . On occasion , credit for some of Rorworr ' s discoveries went to more politically connected Humans . Rorworr also earned two official reprimands during his time with the Republic . He was issued one for disappearing from an exploration party , during which time he found a lost civilization . On another mission , he earned a reprimand for not revealing a sentient life form he discovered , at that life form ' s request . Rorworr grew increasingly disenfranchised with the Republic as a result , a sentiment that he noticed was mirrored by many other Wookiees and non - Human species . However , Rorworr kept quiet regarding his concerns ; instead , the Wookiee spent his spare time listening to stories and tales in spacer bars , trying to learn of unexplored worlds and territories . Rebel Wookiee . The establishment of the Galactic Empire changed Rorworr ' s life dramatically . Most of his clan was lost in an Imperial raid , the Wookiee ' s own father vanished after speaking out against the newly rechristened Emperor Palpatine , and Queen Amidala was slain . Anakin Skywalker , the boy Rorworr had met while recapturing Theed , became Darth Vader , Palpatine ' s apprentice . Many of the Jedi Rorworr had worked with were massacred in a synchronous , galaxy - wide execution known as Order 66 . The surviving Jedi were pursued by Darth Vader , and many , including Rorworr ' s close friends , Sia - Lan Wezz and Rann I - Kanu , were respectively killed or went missing . Rorworr felt betrayed by the Republic he had served , and quickly joined the Rebellion to resist the Empire ' s reign . In the Rebellion , Rorworr was often tasked with monitoring Imperial ship and troop movements . Often , he flew a Rebel RZ - 1 A - wing interceptor , having become adept at hiding the craft in asteroid fields . Other times , he dealt directly with Imperials , taking advantage of the stereotype of Wookiees as slow , simple creatures in order to be underestimated . On the ground , Rorworr spent time in cantinas pretending to be a fuzzy drunk , eavesdropping on soldiers that did not realize he understood Basic . In one case , he took a job as a freighter pilot running rare foods to Imperial forces on Varlinaar , and in the process brought with him a team of Rebels to steal Imperial battle plans . In another , he freed an imprisoned Rebel operative from an Imperial detention cell . In 3 ABY , Rorworr reunited with other members of the defunct Naboo Underground for a vacation to Bespin ' s Cloud City . At the conclusion of their holiday , while the friends waited for a shuttle to arrive and deliver them to an orbiting passenger liner , a group of thugs dragged an old man from the waiting lobby onto the landing platform . A small astromech droid disrupted the thugs , and the old man quickly asked for the group ' s help . After intervening , Rorworr and his friends learned that the thugs had been hired by a Chevin working for Jabba Desilijic Tiure ; that the old man was Doctor Shemza , a distinguished scientist wanted by the Empire for his research ; and that the astromech , Shorty , belonged to Shemza ' s Rebellion contact . Shemza insisted that he had information vital to the Rebellion , and asked the group to accompany him to his contact ' s transport on Landing Platform 21 . The voice of Lando Calrissian , Cloud City ' s Baron Administrator , broke over the city ' s loudspeakers , announcing that the Empire had occupied the city , and recommended that all citizens evacuate . Three stormtroopers appeared in the hallway , demanding that Rorworr ' s group halt . The team defeated the stormtroopers and escaped Cloud City with Doctor Shemza , his Alliance contact , and Shorty . Rorworr ' s team participated in a mission to purchase blaster rifles for the Rebellion from a Duros smuggler , Hagk Baht , on Tatooine . The group arrived outside of the town of Anchorhead , but a particularly violent sandstorm forced the group to take shelter inside of Tosche Station while waiting for their contact . A squad of Imperial stormtroopers also took refuge within the mechanic ' s bar . A local Pacithhip spice dealer tried to hide his stash on the Rebels , while Old Ezrim , a local moisture farmer , began to insist that the group were spice dealers . The argument was interrupted when Baht broke over the team ' s comlink and explained that , although he had escaped an Imperial Customs ship by entering the sandstorm , he had little control over his starship inside the maelstrom . Baht ' s transmission was cut short as his ship , the " Singing Savrip " , crashed into the desert . The stormtroopers moved to arrest the Rebels , but were defeated with the help of the lounge ' s mechanic , Fixer , a pilot by the name of Verzon Tennd , and his droid , Deenine . When the team investigated the crash site of the " Singing Savrip " , they discovered that Baht had been killed in the impact , but fifty rifles remained intact . Rorworr secured the rifles for the Rebellion . At some point , Rorworr , Arani Korden , and Deel Surool participated in the Battle of Skorrupon , intercepting High Inquisitor Volytar at his private retreat on Skorrupon , as he tried to board a shuttle and escape to his orbiting Star Destroyer . After battling Volytar and eight destroyer droids in a room filled with pop - up grenade traps , the three became known as the heroes of Skorrupon among the Rebellion , but Rorworr was devastated to receive confirmation of Sia - Lan Wezz ' s death . Independent explorer . After the Battle of Endor , Rorworr passed up service in the New Republic , the nascent government established by the Rebel Alliance , to become an independent explorer . Hoping to put some of his grief behind him , Rorworr quietly began exploring the galaxy alone , piloting a modified " Svelte " - class shuttle painted with a camouflage scheme . The Wookiee retained several contacts from his time with the Rebellion , and often tapped them when he encountered problems that he felt needed attention . Occasionally , young Jedi or New Republic operatives were assigned to help Rorworr by their superiors . Rorworr gave the most attention to situations where organizations or individuals sought to desecrate the wilder planets or enslave their inhabitants . A great number of worlds produced stories about how Rorworr brought down a Corporate Sector Authority factory , helped evacuate a threatened animal population , foiled a Hutt slaving ring , or performed some other altruistic task . Ewoks had a particular fondness for the Wookiee , and Rorworr traveled to Endor , the Ewok homeworld , several times in his life . Personality and traits . Rorworr was a confident , courageous , and intimidating Wookiee with an insatiable curiosity and wanderlust . He was eager to perform acts of heroism , but had grown more cynical as the Galactic Republic was reshaped into the Empire . Due to his actions , " Rorworr " became a household name across Naboo and produced stories of heroism on over fifty other worlds . The Wookiee found humor in the fact that , despite looking and smelling completely different , he was occasionally mistaken for Chewbacca , another famous Wookiee in the Rebellion . If it served to benefit him or the Rebellion , Rorworr would not correct the misidentification . Rorworr was a very expressive Wookiee and was capable of letting out a mournful hoot or a displeased roar . Rorworr disliked it when he was forced to leave behind temporary allies , but he cherished his friendships and was devastated whenever he lost any of his long - time companions . Although Rorworr often took a liking to young , idealistic heroes , later in life he preferred his solitude and rarely remained with any one group for long . In Shyriiwook , the name prefix " Ror " translated to " dark , hidden , marsh , swamp , " while the suffix " warr " translated to " forest , guide , hunter , scout . " Skills and abilities . At 2 . 2 meters tall and 140 kilograms , Rorworr was a strong and able - bodied scout and gunslinger . His years of evading predators on Kashyyyk aided his ability to move quietly and remain out of sight , while his natural Wookiee strength allowed him to dismember battle droids with his bare hands or hurl humanoids with a single arm . He was able to react quickly to danger and was quick to recover from it . Rorworr was an accomplished mechanic , slicer , pilot , astrogator , and pathfinder . The Wookiee was able to fly freighters with ease , while his N - 1 training on Naboo allowed him to deftly maneuver most starfighters . Rorworr was proficient in martial arts , as well as the use of blaster pistols , blaster rifles , most simple weapons , and the bowcaster , a traditional Wookiee weapon . Although he favored the bowcaster , Rorworr had become an adept quick - draw with blaster pistols . As a Wookiee , Rorworr was only capable of speaking Shyriiwook , although he was able to easily understand Basic , Ewokese , Huttese , Mon Calamarian , and Twi ' leki without the help of his translator droid . Behind the scenes . Rorworr was created by Wizards of the Coast to be an iconic representation of the Scout class , a character role built around space and on - foot exploration , for their Star Wars Roleplaying Game line . As an iconic character , Rorworr would act as an illustration reference for future supplements as well as provide viewers with the feeling that they are following the Wookiee ' s adventures . His early visual design was created by Adam Hughes and implemented in " " . Doug Alexander Gregory was tasked with aging the design by a few years for inclusion in the " Star Wars Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook " , and accomplished the goal after asking questions like , " What does a Wookiee ' s skull look like ? " TD0 - 2 was created by Bill Slavicsek , who saw the need to give Rorworr a way to speak to his party without breaking suspension of disbelief . Rorworr became one of Art Director Sean Glenn ' s favorite iconic characters . A 4 " Rorworr Hasbro Inc . action figure was included in the box for the " Invasion of Theed Adventure Game " as an exclusive part of Hasbro ' s " " toy line . The figure featured six points of articulation , and a bowcaster accessory . While the figure ' s head was a new sculpt , an older Kenner Products toy mold , Chewbacca as < a href = " Boushh / Legends " > Boushh ' s bounty < / a > from the series , was re - used for Rorworr ' s body . Despite being a Hasbro release , the figure retained the Kenner stamp on the bottom of one of the figure ' s feet . Rorworr was the first " Star Wars " character from a non - computer based roleplaying game to be rendered as an action figure . Rorworr is often used in examples within Wizards of the Coast sourcebooks , and has been documented as having been played by " Penny , " and " Mike . " In November 2000 , during the Roleplaying Game ' s launch event in , Peter Mayhew , Chewbacca ' s costumed actor , played a demonstration game as Rorworr . In 2001 , five Wizards of the Coast original Star Wars characters received three - page biographical articles on Wizards . com . Each article provided a brief history and gameplay stats at three different points in each characters ' life . The first was Dané , in February . Toba , was next , in March , then Kelko in April , and the human Force Adept , Valara Saar , in May . In June , Rorworr was the last original Wizards of the Coast iconic character to receive a web article , written by Jeff Grubb . In 2003 , the video game " " , developed by BioWare and set in 3956 BBY , was released . One side quest in the game charged players with locating a minor Wookiee character sharing the name Rorworr . Though this Rorworr was only found as a corpse , it was revealed that Wookiee had captured several fellow Wookiees and sold them as slaves . In the " Star Wars Roleplaying Game Saga Edition Core Rulebook " , the former fringer Kelko replaces Rorworr as the iconic Scout , while Rorworr was pictured as the iconic Gunslinger , a prestige class . Rorworr was still used as both a Scout and a Gunslinger in examples of play . RPG elements . Roleplaying game adventures are , by design , typically written to compensate for the unpredictable nature of player actions . For all roleplaying game adventures , this article assumes that the heroes successfully follow the general outline and specific goals described in the adventures , without deviating dramatically . This article assumes that all example scenarios of Rorworr in the Star Wars Roleplaying Game ' s " Core Rulebook " , its successors , and their supplements are canon . " Confirmed " adventures . This article assumes Rorworr ' s participation as a player character in the " Star Wars : Invasion of Theed Adventure Game " and all supplemental Adventure Games that indicate that they were designed to use characters , rules , game tokens , and other assets from " Invasion of Theed " . These adventures include " The Predators " , " Smugglers of Naboo Fast - Play Game " , " Signal Interruption " , " The Fall of Cloud City " , " A Night at Tosche Station " , " Peril in the Ionosphere " , and " Battle in the Streets ! " Rorworr is never mentioned by name in " Secrets of Naboo " or the included adventure , " Peril on Naboo " . However , an image appearing near the end of the adventure depicts the visually distinct Wookiee , alongside Sia - Lan Wezz and Deel Surool , apprehending Gode Takrab and examining his forged holovid , suggesting that Rorworr was one of the heroes in the adventure . Rorworr ' s participation was later confirmed by " The Official Star Wars Fact File 91 " , published by De Agostini . Further adventures . Rorworr was used in a live example game with celebrity players during the Seattle RPG Launch Event . Rorworr ( Peter Meyhew ) accompanies Dorn Tavers ( Jake Lloyd ) , Deel Surool ( Drew Struzan ) , and Vor ' en Kurn ( Adam Hughes ) . Dorn Tavers attacked a group of non - humans without warning , leaving Rorworr and the others to back him up . However , Tavers soon turned on his allies , too . Rorworr is depicted in an illustration among the pages of " Shadows of Coruscant " , an adventure printed in the " Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook " ; however , the illustration does not appear to depict a scene from the adventure . " A Night at Tosche Station " , an Adventure Game / Fast Play supplement set during the Rebellion era , indicates that it can be linked to the end of a previous Roleplaying Game supplement , " The Storm ' s Edge " , by changing that adventure ' s setting to be near Anchorhead rather than near Mos Eisley . A wookiee that appears to be Rorworr , along with figures that appear to be Arani Korden and Rann I - Kanu , is pictured on the wrap - around cover of " Tempest Feud " , a large adventure written by Jeff Grubb and Owen K . C . Stephens and published in March 2002 by Wizards of the Coast . However , Rorworr is not depicted within the adventure . " Scourge " , a novelization of " Tempest Feud " written by Jeff Grubb , was released in 2012 without any references to Rorworr . The web article , " " , differs from the previous four write - ups of Wizards - original characters . " Meet Rorworr " was credited to Jeff Grubb , while the others were written by Cory J . Herndon . All of the articles include the tag , " Look for [ this character ] ' s equipment in our equipment image gallery ! " However , while the other characters ' articles twice list , " Use [ This character ] in a new adventure based on our Adventure Hook Generator , " Rorworr ' s articles are tagged with : " Make Rorworr your hero in our Star Wars fast - play game ! " and " Play Rorworr in your " Secrets of Tatooine " campaign ! " While " Between Sand and Sky " is the only campaign that was packaged with the supplement , " Secrets of Tatooine " is a sourcebook designed to help develop or create any adventure that involves Tatooine . Discrepancies . Text in " The Official Star Wars Fact File 91 " confirms Rorworr , Surool , Galak , Korden and " Dane " as being a part of Mett Habble ' s Naboo Resistance . While it is likely that Fact File refers to the handmaiden " Dané " , all of the images that have captions referencing " Dane " instead depict the Jedi Sia - Lan Wezz . The error is reprinted in Part 33 of De Agostini ' s 2014 revised run of The Official Star Wars Fact File . Although Rorworr is noted as a participating member in the operations of both Mett Habble ' s Naboo Resistance and Lucos Dannt ' s Naboo Underground , the two organizations otherwise appear to be unaffiliated resistance cells . Mett Habble informs the heroes of Queen Amidala ' s escape to Coruscant within hours of Theed ' s invasion , and the heroes accompany Habble to a meeting with the Queen soon after her ship lands in the swamp . However , members of the Naboo Underground are told that the fate of the Queen is still unknown late into the occupation . In addition , the Heroes of the Underground are aimlessly patrolling occupied Theed , seemly unaware that the Queen has returned to Naboo , when they encounter the disguised Sabé within Theed as the second battle for the capital begins . " Peril on Naboo " indicates that the strategy meeting with Queen Amidala ' s forces , the Gungans , and the Naboo Resistance takes place at the landing site for the Queen ' s royal starship . However , most other iterations of indicate that the meeting takes place elsewhere , after the Trade Federation forces have located and secured the Queen ' s ship . In " The First Game Session " , an example scenario from the " Roleplaying Game : Saga Edition Core Rulebook " set weeks prior to the Battle of Geonosis , the Gamemaster " Michelle " says , " You ' ve all noticed each other , but you don ' t know each other yet . " This conflicts with the established idea that Rorworr , Sia - Lan Wezz , and Deel Surool worked together in the Naboo Underground and the Naboo Resistance . For the purposes of this article , it is assumed that the GM means the characters don ' t know Vor ' en Kurn , yet . A line on page 160 of " Galactic Campaign Guide " says , " Rorworr takes his ship on a grand tour of the galaxy , eventually falling into obscurity as he tries to forget the loss of Sia - Lan at the battle of Skorrupon . " Although Wezz is pictured in after the destruction of Alderaan , the concept that Wezz was killed during the Battle of Skorrupon conflicts with the later published " " , which illustrates the young Jedi being slain by Darth Vader on Kessel within months of Order 66 . For the purposes of this article , the line is interpreted as : " At the battle of Skorrupon , Rorworr decides to take his ship on a grand tour of the galaxy , eventually falling into obscurity as he tries to forget the loss of Sia - Lan .
