Nossor Ri / Legends Nossor Ri was a Quarren chieftain who conspired with the Karkarodon Riff Tamson to make the Quarren allies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars . Nossor Ri later noticed his mistake , however , and rejoined the Galactic Republic after betraying Tamson and fighting droid forces with the Mon Calamari . Biography . Becoming a Separatist pawn . About 21 BBY , after the mysterious death of King Yos Kolina , tensions began to grow between the Quarren and the Mon Calamari . Chieftain Nossor Ri was the one leading his people at this time of crisis . Backed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems and convinced by a Separatist envoy by the name of Riff Tamson , who would later be revealed as Yos Kolina ' s murderer , Ri presented the claims of his people in front of the Mon Calamari Council in the capital . Ri expressed the disagreement of the Quarren to elect Yos Kolina ' s son , Prince Lee - Char , as the next ruler of the Calamari system . In the end Nossor Ri , Tamson , and the Quarren left the gathering disgruntled by the results of the peace talks . But before leaving , the Chieftain approached Lee - Char , who by that point had lost all hope for peace , and Ri expressed his condolences and admiration for Lee - Char ' s father . All the happenings were all machinations by Count Dooku and Riff Tamson to bring the planet to the Separatist side of the conflict . Ri had agreed to do so as he felt he was doing what was best for his people . Little did he know that Dooku and Tamson were planning to put all the inhabitants of Dac in chains and use them as slaves . All the events led to the Battle of Mon Cala , which Nossor Ri took part in and observed from away . During the initial attack , the Quarren and Aqua droids retreated . Nossor Ri was puzzled by the situation as he anticipated the droids to be defeated by the Jedi . Tamson then brought in the the secret weapons that would win the battle . The attack proceeded as planned and the opposing forces were driven into hiding . Although the Quarren were supposed to be part of the last push against the Jedi and the Mon Calamari , Nossor Ri decided to hold off his forces as he felt that Tamson was certain to win . This attitude and disobedience by the Chieftain angered the Karkarodon . Grabbing the Quarren by his tentacled face , Tamson threatened to kill Ri if he did so again . Search for Lee - Char . After the initial victory , Nossor Ri and Riff Tamson situated themselves at the Central palace of the Mon Calamari capital . From there they monitored the situation and started the search for the Lee - Char and his allies . Count Dooku contacted the victors and insisted they press on and take full control of the planet . During the conversation , Ri spoke with concern for the captured Mon Calamari and wished to know if the women and children will be spared the fate of a slave . Dooku with fury silenced the Quarren leader and insisted all Mon Calamari be sent to work as slaves . This was the first sign that Ri saw of the Confederacy ' s ruthless policy towards prisoners of war and started to have doubts about his decision to join the Separatists . All he did at that moment was just obey the Count ' s orders . When the Jedi and Mon Calamari troops tried to escape to the Republic ship on the ocean surface , Nossor Ri was contacted by the one of soldiers that engaged the enemy forces . Tamson pushed Ri aside and ordered the Quarren to allow the Jedi and Prince to get to the ship . Then he sprung the trap and the ship was destroyed in front of the eyes of the Prince to make him lose all hope of escape . Shortly after , the Jedi disrupted the Separatist communications by destroying a building that housed Dac ' s Inner - planetary scanners ; this was reported to Nossor Ri and Tamson . Ri pointed out that there was nothing on the scope prior to this . As expected , a huge force containing mostly Gungan warriors was on the way . However , Tamson expected this to happen and warned the chieftain that another attack would come soon . The one group of that featured the Prince himself , who started to free prisoners , while another engaged the droid forces at the site of the destroyed scanners . Nossor Ri was left alone at the Palace as Tamson went in search for the Prince . Nossor Ri was informed of both attacks and contacted Tamson to report on the situation . The Quarren leader proposed a retreat of all Separatist forces , but Tamson decided to send Trident - class assault ships to both locations , while he also joined the battle in which the the Prince was present so he could finish him once and for all . After Tamson received news that the Prince was captured , Nossor Ri was shocked to learn that Tamson was taking the throne instead of the Quarren . He finally came to realize that serving the Confederacy was his true mistake , and that the Quarren were used since Tamson was the one who murdered the King . Nossor Ri was then requested by Prince Lee - Char to turn on his Separatist allies and help Lee - Char drive them from Mon Calmarai . Nossor Ri refused until Lee - Char was about to be executed . Nossor Ri couldn ' t allow the young prince to die for everything he had done , so he immediately swam to save him . He ordered the Quarren to join Lee - Char and the Republic forces to defeat the Separatists . After the battle was won , the Mon Calamari and the Quarren were united again , and they were all present where the Prince became the King of Dac .
