Rynalla Professor Rynalla , sometimes known as " Profex Rynalla " , was a female Human Dark Side Adept , archaeologist and scholar , affiliated to the University of Sanbra . While excavating the planet Leritor in search of a Sith artifact , she sparked a war between a group of Human colonists and the native Sauvax . Biography . A Force - sensitive Human female , Rynalla was a scholar affiliated with the department of ancient history of the prestigious University of Sanbra . She was an expert in galactic history , archaeology , and the lore of several traditions of Force - users , including the Jedi Order , the Sith , in addition to bygone organizations . Secretly , Rynalla researched the Sith and traditions of the dark side to increase her own powerss of the Force . While researching in the University records , Rynalla discovered that a missing Sith treasure , the Bracers of Najus , had been lost in a Sith starship which had crash - landed on the planet of Leritor . The Bracers could be used to increase the power of the dark side , and she coveted the relic . She hired two dozen Klatooinian soldiers and went to Leritor in her bulk freighter , with her two PTR - 3 Vedette snub fighters in tow . On arrival , Rynalla found the Sith starship half - buried in the local mountain range known as the Bleaks ; she quickly organized a dig site using prefabricated buildings . Noticing two main groups in the planet , the Human settlers who farmed the inland prairies and the native Sauvax living the coast , she decided to capture strong individuals from each group and use them as slave miners to uncover the ship . Rynalla ' s forces raided one of the massive harvester machines used by the farmers , the nearby " Nellist " . The stronger colonists were captured and the weaker ones were murdered with the traditional Sauvax weapon , the gruush , so that other on - world Humans would blame the Sauvax , even if a more detailed analysis would have proved otherwise . Similarly , the Klatooinians also assaulted a Sauvax community , called a kuuvan , again executing the feeble and conscripting the powerful . They used blasters , so that the Sauvax in other kuuvans would suspect that the Human farmers were behind the incursion . Thus Rynalla manufactured a war among the Sauvax and the farmers , keeping them busy while she plundered her prize . In all , fifty Human and Sauvax prisoners were captured . They were put to work , with the amphibious Sauvax in the deepest submerged decks of the ship , and always watched by armed Klatooinians . Rynalla did not tell the captives what she was looking for , but every two days , she evicted the exhausted laborers while she looked for the Bracers and the Klatooinians looked for any attempt to create an escape tunnel . Rynalla ' s disposal of waste polluted a nearby river , a change that was being noticed by several local Sauvax . She was certain , however , that nobody would imagine that she ' d created a slave camp . More worried about fugitives than intruders , Rynalla organized a second , smaller camp near the edge of the mountain , to stop and execute any runaways ; five such individuals met their end there . A Sauvax kuuvan led by their tevelor , mistakenly believing that the farmers intended to exterminate their species , surrounded the combine - reaper " Gevion " and demanded an explanation . As the farmers believed that the Sauvax were an aggressive , murderous species , they were too wary to send an envoy ; in a stalemate , the Sauvax refused to allow the " Gevion " collect its crop . This situation would have escalated into war , but a group of offworlders heard a distress call from the " Gevion " and offered to mediate . These individuals began investigating and soon found a trail to Rynalla ' s camp . Rynalla found the Bracers of Najus just in time to face the intruders . She was eventually defeated , however , and peace was restored to Leritor .
