Shun-rai

The shun-rai, or funeral meal, was a funerary ritual of the near-human Kage species. To honor the dead, Kages would eat their loved one's favorite food and welcome their spirit to join them. After the Kage Sadori Vushan, a member of the partisan rebel cell known as the Dreamers, perished during a mission to the planet Anukara in 0 BBY,Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of Battlefront II: Inferno Squad to 0 BBY. his parents Ru and Halia Vushan held a shun-rai for him at the Dreamers' encampment on the planet Jeosyn. The family prepared food that was as close as they could to Sadori's favorite and invited Seyn Marana, who Sadori had grown fond of before his death, to share in the meal, unaware that Marana was an undercover Imperial agent. Marana was honored to accept, and as her secret accomplice Iden Versio watched her follow the Vushan's, the Dreamers' leader, Lux Bonteri, described the concept of the shun-rai to Versio.
