Ra-Zyrth

Ra-Zyrth was a male Massassi who served the Sith Empire during the time of the Great Hyperspace War. He became one of the top commanders of Naga Sadow, the leader of the Sith Empire, and Sadow used dark side alchemy to transform Ra-Zyrth into a mutated monstrosity. The Massassi subsequently entered a deep sleep inside a suspended animation capsule, which was fired onto the planet Coruscant during a Sith attack on the world in 5000 BBY.
==Biography==
Ra-Zyrth was a male Massassi who was born during the time leading up to the Great Hyperspace War.

Shortly afterward, Sadow's forces attacked the planet Coruscant, the capital of the Republic, and during the battle the capsules containing Ra-Zyrth and the other slumbering commanders were fired into the Coruscant cityscape. A number of vague and conflicting accounts existed regarding Ra-Zyrth's subsequent fate, and some individuals claimed that following the deployment of his capsule, the Massassi immediately awoke and died while fighting in combat against Coruscant's Jedi defenders. Others claimed that his capsule came to lie in a forgotten region of the Coruscant Undercity, where Ra-Zyrth remained in his sleep for many years, waiting for his capsule to be activated by accident, so that he could be reawakened.
