Sections of the park were often closed down , especially after sightings of Ranats became more common . The park mascot was a character known as Ronnie the Rocketpack Rodent . In - park shops offered Ronnie merchandise , including full - body costumes . History . The developers of Galaxy Ways constructed the park on the planet Aralia after another park , known as Project Aralia , was completed . Afterward , much of the world ' s landmass was devoted to resorts and tourism . As offworlders flocked to Aralia , Galaxy Ways helped project an image of a world with unusual rides , fine dining , and thrifty shopping . Meanwhile , Aralia ' s Ranat populations continued digging out their warrens beneath the park . Unbeknownst to Galaxy Ways ' management , the new resort had provided the rodent - like species with a new source of food : its patrons . As the problem became evident , the park administrators tried to combat the Ranats with exterminators . Nevertheless , the Ranats killed them . Management then adopted a quick - response system by which they closed portions of the park where Ranat activity had been detected . During one off - season , however , these measures proved futile . Several Ranat tribes joined forces and planned a massive assault on the park and its patrons . They first cut through the park ' s power supplies with their sharp incisors , then they saw to it that any starships near the park were made inoperable . Finally , they attacked , ten Ranats to each guest . The Ranats carried away any tourists they could find , leaving nothing but bloodied strips of clothing , tell tale claw marks , and shrieks of horror to warn the rest of the park ' s guests . For their part , the park visitors had no weapons with which to defend themselves . Escaping their grisly fate became the order of the day . Behind the scenes . Galaxy Ways appears in an adventure seed in the " Star Wars Gamemaster Screen , " a West End Games product for " . " The seed places the player characters in the park as guests who must themselves escape the Ranat hordes and make it to safety . The book ' s author , Bill Olmesdahl , suggests that the adventure should have the tone of a zombie film , with the characters unsure whether they will be eaten by the ghoulish Ranats at any moment . Nevertheless , he suggests that such a scenario may be too dark for some gaming groups and offers variants accordingly . He proposes , for instance , that instead of being driven by hunger , the Ranats might instead have adopted Ronnie the Rocketpack Rodent as their new deity . They are thus stealing Ronnie merchandise , including any hapless characters who happen to be wearing a full Rocketpack Rodent costume .
