Ahri Raas was a male Force - sensitive Keshiri and Sith Tyro . He trained with the Lost Tribe of Sith — descendants of a group of Sith whose starship , the " Omen " , had crash - landed on the planet of Kesh around 5000 BBY , while attempting to transport Lignan crystal s to Sith Lord Naga Sadow during the Great Hyperspace War . Raas , who was a member of the planet ' s native species rather than a direct descendant of the surviving Sith , was born on Kesh around 27 ABY . Raas began training with the Tribe in the ways of the Sith , and , in 37 ABY , he took place in a competition held among the youth of the Tribe to obtain a personal uvak — winged reptilian creatures native to Kesh — by imposing their will on unhatched creatures through the dark side of the Force so that it would " imprint " upon the competitor . Raas and the Human Tyro Vestara Khai picked the same uvak , and , after a battle of wills , Khai eventually won . Raas later became a close friend of Khai , whom he often trained with in lightsaber combat . In 41 ABY , after one such training session , they saw a ship fly over them , toward the ruins of the " Omen " — which had become known as the Ship of Destiny — in the Sith Temple . Khai called her uvak , Tikk , and she and Raas took the creature to find the ship . They found the spherical vessel in the middle of the Temple courtyard , where many Sith had already gathered , and the ship began to speak to Khai through the Force . The Tribe , having finally acquired a way to leave the planet , began to use the ship to attack and capture starships to form an armada . In 43 . 5 ABY , Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker touched an Aing - Tii relic , the Codex , sending out a call through the Force which alerted the Tribe to the threat he presented . Shortly afterward , Ship abruptly departed the planet of Kesh . By that time , Raas had been taken as an apprentice under the Sith Master Yuvar Xal . Strike team . Xal and Raas were chosen to be a part of the strike team whose task was to recover Ship and return it to Kesh , and hunt down and kill Skywalker . The team , aboard the warship " Eternal Crusader " , followed Ship , using Khai ' s unique connection to the Meditation Sphere to track it . This caused some unrest among the crew , and the Sith debated why it would allow Khai to track it , as well as what it was doing to begin with . Raas suggested that it was leading them into a trap , and , though Lady Olaris Rhea , the strike team ' s leader , agreed , she decided that they had to follow it anyway . They tracked it to a planet in the Maw , where Raas and Xal were chosen by Rhea to be a part of the search party sent down to the planet to find Ship . On the planet they met Abeloth , a powerful being who pretended to help the Tribe , while actually sabotaging their efforts to escape with Ship . Meanwhile , Raas was tasked by Xal with getting closer to Khai and gaining her trust in order to stage a coup against Rhea , so Xal could take over the strike team ' s leadership . As the search continued without success , Rhea finally decided that they should just leave without Ship , and Xal decided that it was time to execute his coup . Before either of these could happen , however , the Meditation Sphere suddenly reappeared . As the search party took up pursuit , Rhea was attacked by a siphon reed and pulled into a whirlpool . Khai jumped in to save her master , and as they resurfaced , Raas grasped them in the Force to bring them safely to shore . The search went on fruitlessly , and several more Sith arrived on shuttles from the " Eternal Crusader " to join the search party until there were no crew members left aboard the ship . Eventually , however , Abeloth discovered Skywalkers location , and allowed Ship to return to the Sith . The strike team left to kill Luke Skywalker and his son , Jedi Knight Ben Skywalker , in Sinkhole Station , a space station in the Maw . There , Raas , Xal , Khai , and Sith Saber Baad Walusari were set up at a juntion in the station which the Skywalkers would have to pass in order to get to their ship in the station ' s hangar . They were commanded to ambush the Skywalkers with grenades , but Raas was ordered by Xal to betray his friend and Force push her grenades back at her when she threw them at the Skywalkers . When the Jedi arrived on the scene after escaping from their first confrontation with members of the strike team , Khai and Walusari threw their grenades at them , and Raas and Xal quickly pushed the explosives back at the two Sith as they threw their own stun grenade s . Rhea , however , had expected treachery , and had provided Khai with fake grenades . Meanwhile , the Skywalkers pretended to have been knocked unconscious , and Raas prepared to restrain the younger Jedi . Upset by Raas ' betrayal , Khai threw her shikkar at Xal , killing him . Raas was distracted by his master ' s cry of shock and anguish , and was quickly killed , sliced down the spine by the lightsaber of Ben Skywalker , when Ahri had been attempting to subdue him . Personality and traits . Ahri Raas had a somewhat relaxed outlook on life , and was not as competitive or ambitious as his friend , Vestara Khai . He was also rather compassionate , and cared deeply about Khai ; however , Khai shared no romantic feelings for him . He wasn ' t afraid to speak out among higher - ranking Sith , as he offered his theory to Rhea as to why Ship was allowing only Khai to track it . Later , Raas was troubled by Xal ' s orders to gain Khai ' s trust in order to betray her . However , he was loyal to his master , and carried out his commands , betraying Khai and attempting to kill her when the time came . Powers and abilities . Raas often trained in lightsaber combat and frequently and effectively used telekinesis techniques . He was not as accomplished in these areas as Khai , however , and he lacked the necessary focus , causing him to fall prey to Khai ' s use of Dun Möch . During the battle with the Skywalkers , he and his master underestimated the Jedi , believing incorrectly that stun grenades could incapacitate them . Raas was distracted by Xal ' s cry of pain as the Sith Master was killed , resulting in his own death . Raas had white hair , red eyes , and pale purple skin . Behind the scenes . Ahri Raas was created as a minor character by author Christie Golden for " " , her debut " Star Wars " novel and the second volume in the nine - part " " series .
