==Biography==
At some point between 19 and 3 BBY, Rugal was in hiding from the Empire on the planet Golak. During this time, Rugal ran the Golak Mahal, a roadside motel located on the desert planet.
During her time in hiding on Golak, two siblings named Rani and Charuk visited the Golak Mahal. Upon arrival, the siblings were greeted by Rugal who allowed them to eat there. Rugal was able to sense that the younger girl, Rani, was Force-sensitive. Before Rani and Charuk could eat some Le'bi, an Inquisitor and two Purge Troopers in Phase I armor arrived. The Inquisitor then questioned Charuk about the reports of a force-sensitive girl on Golak. In an attempt to toy with him the Inquisitor added that he went beyond the train tracks, burned all the farm villages, and left no survivors. Sensing that Rani was the force-sensitive girl, the Inquisitor force pushed Charuk aside. He then attempted to capture Rani resulting in a storm where many of the inhabitants were fighting one another. Before the Inquisitor could capture Rani, Rugal revealed herself to be a Jedi to protect Rani and Charuk. She then dueled against the Inquisitor and killed him by slicing his throat. After the Inquisitor died, Rugal guided Rani to a tunnel hidden in a body of water. As Rugal told Charuk that Rani would be safer with her, Charuk said his last goodbyes to Rani before she entered the tunnel. After Rugal and Rani entered the tunnel together it closed immediately and became submerged in the body of water.
