However , the trio made a detour when they learned that the clone troopers of the Galactic Republic were cleaning out the local banks of their money and treasures . In an attempt to cash in on the treasures during the confusion of a nearby battle , the three friends disguised themselves as clone troopers and made their way to the nearest bank . After surviving several encounters with droids , clone troopers , and anti - Republic civilians , the trio made it to a large bank and began to scavenge what they could . However , the battle having ended , the Republic troops made their way to the bank and began to apprehend the treasures . Rayt , Wes , and Bryn boarded a Republic vessel , still under the guise of clone troopers , and eventually left the planet , leaving Rayt to plan his group ' s next escape plan . Biography . A Rayt of life . Born on a planet located somewhere in the galaxy , Rayt believed his world to be a fairly peaceful and normal place . Rayt , a Human male , eventually worked at a bank for some time , and became friends with a co - worker named Trillan Katos , and at some other point befriended the brothers Wes and Bryn Apice . For several years Rayt worked at a local bank , and Katos eventually invited Rayt to have dinner with his family , which comprised of Katos ' wife and his two sons . Katos enjoyed Rayt ' s company enough to invite Rayt back to a dinner again several times . Sometime before or during an intergalactic war known as the Clone Wars , which broke out during 22 BBY , Rayt left his job at his bank . Meanwhile , the world allied itself with the Confederacy of Independent Systems , a major player in the war . The planet ' s governors began to funnel money to the Confederacy , while keeping other Separatist treasures locked tight in massive vaults . Arrival of the war . Sometime during or after 21 BBY , the Clone Wars arrived to the planet in force , as the clone armies of the Galactic Republic , the Confederate ' s opposition , arrived on the planet to assume control of the planet and empty out the banks of Confederate treasure and money . As the battle raged on , Rayt became less and less enthralled with his world , and blamed the Republic armies for destroying an otherwise tranquil planet . Further disenchanted , Rayt finally decided that it would be best to leave his homeworld altogether . Grouping up with the Apice brothers , who shared Rayt ' s point of view , the trio planned to rent out a pilot to get offworld . The Apice brothers managed to cut a deal with the owner of a rusted out hauler to get the job done . On the chosen day of departure , the three made their way to their rendezvous point before coming across a massive battleground that was littered with masses of dead clone troopers and destroyed battle droids . With the way apparently blocked , Rayt began to plan their next move . However , as Rayt decided to muscle through the wreckage , Bryn overheard a Republic broadcast from a communicator calling for all available troops to help with the acquisition of the Separatist resources . Bryn wasn ' t sure what they meant , and had Rayt explain the actions of their planetary leaders and their deals with the Confederacy . No longer interested in escaping , for the moment , Bryn quickly hatched the idea to raid the vaults themselves , believing that they would relatively unguarded due to the fighting . While Wes is quick to shoot down the plan , Rayt backs it up , considering that it may be a fairly easy task , and that no one was going to miss it , and that they could use the loot to buy their way off the planet . In order to bypass Republic guards , Bryn suggested that they disguise themselves as clone troopers . Wes , however , continued to feel apathetic to the plan , although he complied anyways . After scavenging corpses for armor , Rayt managed to find a working speeder . They eventually came across a city , where the Confederate droid army continued the fight against the clones . Sneaking by droid and clone sentries , Wes and Bryn attempted to point out the correct location to the nearest bank . Neither knew the way , however , and left Rayt to point out the correct path . Climbing wreckage , the trio overlooked a city plaza which contained a droid cannon an on embankment firing at a group of entrenched clones . In the center of the action , taking cover by a statue , was Trillan Katos and his entire family . Although Rayt initially considered leaving the Katos family to their fate , he ultimately moved out to try and help them . He was quickly apprehended by Bryn , however , who had no intentions of embarking on a suicide mission . Bryn and Rayt argued for a bit while the last of the clones were wiped out . Wes , tired of their arguing , stepped forward with his sniper rifle and shot the cannon ' s supply of explosive ammunition , which ignited and destroyed the entire embankment . Bryn and Rayt both momentarily gawked at their comrade ' s shot before jumping over the wreckage to intercept Katos . As Rayt made his way to the family , Katos ' wife noticed Rayt — still dressed as a clone — and opened fire . Rayt tried to identify himself , but she did not hear him . The rest of the family joined in on the attack , prompting Bryn to return fire . Rayt halted Bryn ' s counter - attack , and the trio made their escape . Banking off of the Confederacy . Eventually , the tired trio made their way to the nearest bank , which had a hole blown through the entrance . The vault was just inside , opened and prepared for looting . Bryn was quickly transfixed with the place and mentioned that they should ' ve tried robbing the bank years prior , much to Rayt ' s annoyance . Bryn quickly took to the vault grabbing more than he could feasibly carry . Meanwhile , Rayt and Wes stashed their loot into carry bags . Upon sighting Bryn stumbling with his arm - load of treasure , Wes called him out and reminded him that too much treasure would slow their escape . Bryn , dropping his treasure , quickly began to argue with his brother . Bryn and Wes began to get physical , but before a brawl could break out , a detachment of the clone army arrived , led by their clone trooper commander . Rayt , trying to save - face , claimed that he and the others are the only survivors of the earlier cannon skirmish . The commander acknowledged , informing them that he had just heard of their victory over his comlink , although he didnt know who exactly had destroyed the cannon . Having cleaned up the rest of the droids , the commander arrived to clean out the last bank of its treasures . The three grab what they can , and along with the rest of the entire clone army , they are marched to the clone ' s " Acclamator " - class assault ship , where they deposited the treasure . The ship eventually took off , and left the world behind . Left to idle on the ship , among millions of credits he couldn ' t touch , Rayt mused over his predicament , noting that while their robbery was unsuccessful , they did manage to get offworld as planned . Personality and traits . Rayt was a generally amiable person , and often presented himself with a level head . Despite such , he wasn ' t above taking risks if he believed they were necessary or easy to pull . Although Rayt wanted to avoid the war as much as possible , he agreed with Bryn to try and rob a local bank before escaping the planet using the funds they ' d acquire . However , pulling the plan included Rayt and his friends raiding the corpses of fallen soldiers for armor to disguise themselves with , something none of Rayt ' s friends seemed to have a problem with , minus Bryn who couldn ' t find a pair of armored pants his size . Rayt also commonly served as a voice of reason when it came to Wes and Bryn ' s continuous arguing , although he never managed to get on either one of their bad sides . A good friend , Rayt eventually decided to risk his life in an attempt to save his old friend Trillan Katos when he was caught in the crossfire of clone and droid forces . Although he considered leaving Katos to his fate , Rayt ultimately chose to help them , even though he was quickly apprehended by Bryn , leaving Wes to save the Katos family . When Katos began to fire at the group , he opted to run as opposed to return fire , as Bryn attempted to . Upon arriving to the bank , Rayt wasn ' t particularly greedy , and only attempted to fill his carry bag , as opposed to overflowing his arms with treasures , like Bryn . When the group was caught in a bind when cornered by a clone trooper commander , Rayt was fast with his words , telling the trooper the truth while hiding their actual identities , buying the trooper ' s trust . In the end , he was bothered by the fact that he and his friends may not get escape the Republic troops without giving away their disguise , although he was content with the fact he was able to escape his planet . Rayt had black colored hair which he kept short in a kind of flat - top style , along with sideburns . Rayt had light colored skin , and brown eyes . Equipment . When Rayt went undercover as a clone trooper , he scavenged Phase II clone trooper armor from a dead clone , which was customized with several blue markings , along with blue shoulder pads . For a weapon , Rayt found a discarded DC - 17 hand blaster with a barrel extension which he carried with him while disguised . He never got to fire the weapon during his adventures , and eventually disposed of it before boarding a Republic cruiser . Rayt was also proficient with speeder piloting , and managed to find a working speeder hidden amongst a devastated battle field . The speeder was a dull dark - green color , and had a lighter interior . He later used a carry bag to store his stolen treasure in . Behind the scenes . Rayt and his friends were created by Jeremy Barlow for his short - story " This Precious Shining " . Rayt was illustrated by Matthew Fillbach and his brother Shawn , with colors done by Ronda Pattison . " This Precious Shining " was one of four stories compiled into the of the " " trade paperback series .
