Raallandirr, shorthened to Rillian, was a Force-Sensitive female Wookie. After the Bombing of the Jedi Temple Creche, she became Padawan to Qui-Gon Jinn.

## Early Life

Rillian was born on 7/2nd 5187 on Kashyyyk. During her time as an Initiate of the Jedi Order, she shared Advanced LightSaber (A.L.T.) classes with Sia'me and Tuuvino.

Following the Bombing of the Jedi Temple Creche on 11/13th 5199, as there was no more Creche to stay at, Rillian, as she already knew Anakin and Obi-Wan Kenobi, was supposed to bunk with them— instead, she was Chosen as Padawan by Qui-Gon Jinn, a pairing the Force itself reinforced.

## Padawan Years

Early on, before even their first mission, it was decided that Rillian, like Anakin, would have Jinn and Kenobi both as her Masters, and that she was Anakin's sister Padawan.

### Naboo

Rillian accompanied her Master, as well as Skywalker, Kenobi and the rest of the Jedi who volunteered to return to Naboo and end the blockade by the Trade Federation.

#### Battle of Theed

During the fights in Theed, Rillian shadowed Jinn until he was fighting Maul, then she covered  Queen Amidala's group in the hangar bay. After leaving it, she encountered more battle droids, more than she could handle. Micah Giett helped her fight those off, and they partnered up to find her Masters.

Returning to the hangar bay, they encountered more battle droids. The fights there ended when Skywalker destroyed the control ship in orbit, turning all droids to nothing more than inert metal.

Rillian was hit through her brand new bond with Kenobi when he was grieviously injured by the Hand of Sidious. She waited for Skywalker to return to ground, then she, Skywalker, Giett and Captain Panaka ran through the generator complex where Kenobi and Jinn fought Maul. She destroyed the controls who kept the shields up on their way to her Masters, ensuring help came in time. She and Skywalker assisted their Masters by sharing their energy, enough for the Healers to get there and find them alive.

#### Battle Aftermath

Most of the Jedi regrouped in a makeshift infirmary in Theed. Rillian was sleeping in the direct aftermath of the battle, in part from exhaustion from helping Jinn and Kenobi to hold on.
Two days later, she discovered butterflies in the garden, and expressed a desire to keep them and bring them to the Temple with her, to the delight of Jinn (who shared the trait of adopting random creatures). During their discussion, Jinn assured her that she would have remained a Padawan had anything happened to him, and Rillian repeated that she wanted him as her Master. Jinn then shared the story of his first mission, which was as eventful as Kenobi's, and as Skywalker's—and as now Rillian's.

## OtherWhen

In the OtherWhen, Rillian went to the Agricorps, and before long was transferred to the Animals division. Her contract was bought out by her uncle and she went on to take up the warrior ways, becoming one of the few female Wookie warriors, even leading a division of Wookies hundreds of years older than her. After the fall of the republic and rise of the Empire she continued to lead Wookies into battle.

Her fate was not a kind one.

Rillian was executed live on the HoloNet by the Empire. She was said to be the leader of the rogue forces. Her death was meant to serve as a warning to any other Wookiee who might think of defying the Empire.

All it serves to do is enrage an entire planet. The Martyr of Kashyyyk inspires Wookiee rebellion, even as the Empire attempts to enslave them all.

The warriors of Kashyyyk who survive the Empire’s attempts to destroy them fight with the Alliance in the battle that finally sees the planet’s liberation after twenty-five long years of occupation. They still sing of the Martyr, free to celebrate her and mourn her death at last.
