The Rar sisters soon suffered another loss; the New Plympto resistance became successful enough that the frustrated Yuuzhan Vong decided to raze the planet, rather than continue to attempt subjugation. 1 All life was wiped from the surface of the planet, rendering it uninhabitable and killing seven million sentients. 16 The Rar sisters were only just able to flee in time, hiding with several thousand other beings aboard a fleet of intrasystem ore miners until help arrived in the form of the Corellian cruiser Nebula Chaser, already loaded with refugees.You may be looking for the similarly named Sith sorceress Aleema Keto, or other uses of the term Aleema.Born in the poverty on Ryloth, Rar and her sister Numa were enslaved and worked together as dancers to earn to survive in the ryll drug dens of the planets major subterranean city, Kalauun.
![]() It was following the razing of New Plympto that her sister was killed due to being struck by corrosive acid. After being healed, Alema grieved for her sisters loss and began to sway close to the dark side. When the Yuuzhan Vong unleashed creatures known as voxyn upon the Jedi Order, the Twilek joined the Myrkr strike team, many of whom died on the Mission to Myrkr. During this affair, Alema began to find her way into the affections of Anakin Solo, whom she found attractive. Following her elevation to the rank of Jedi Knight, Rar fought alongside the New Republic Defense Force as a starfighter pilot, flying in Twin Suns Squadron and participating in battles at Ylesia; Ebaq 9; Bilbringi; and in the wars final engagementthe Recapture of Coruscant. Traveling to the Unknown Regions, Alema Rar discovered Thul, now leader of the insectoid Killik species, engaged in a border dispute with the Chiss Ascendancy. The Killik hive mind, as it did to Rars Jedi companions, soon rendered the Twilek a Joiner, her individuality largely subsumed by the power of the Killiks natural telepathic bond. Unlike other Jedi who became Joiners, however, Alema Rar was made aware of the Gorog nestoverseen by Lomi Plowhich was secretly controlling Thul and the Killiks. Plo, in fact a Sith Master, manipulated Rars still powerful emotions of grief and anger over her sisters death, thus ensuring that the Jedi Knight completed her fall to the dark side; the Twilek assumed the title of Night Herald of the Gorog and, turning against her former friends, became Plos right hand in the resulting Swarm War. By the time the conflict had concluded, Rar had grown mentally unstable. Pretenders Last Of The Independents Rar Full Insanity FollowingBattling the Jedi Order on the front lines, and mutilated through lightsaber duels with Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa Solo, Rar descended into full insanity following the death of Plo and the destruction of the Gorog nest. Her continued existence known only to Chiss -aligned bounty hunter and former comrade-in-arms Jagged Fel, Rar was eager to exact revenge upon Organa Solo and Skywalker. Once she had allied herself with the resurgent Dark Lady of the Sith Lumiya, Rar hunted her targets during the Second Galactic Civil War, engaging the Skywalkers and the Solos in a series of skirmishes upon her surprising return. When Mara Jade Skywalker was killed, in fact by Lumiyas new Sith apprentice Jacen Solo, the Twilek was thought to be responsible, and a Jedi strike team was formed to neutralize her. A brief dalliance with the One Sith, the possession of the ancient Meditation Sphere Ship, and even the knowledge of advanced Sith techniques were all ultimately unable to protect Rar; the fallen Jedi was tracked down to the late Lumiyas retreat, and died there at the hands of Jagged Fel. The Force-sensitive Twilek had a sister, Numa Rar, with whom she formed a close bond as they worked together as enslaved dancers, earning money to survive. They grew up together in the cave warrens of Ryloth, and throughout her life Rar retained her preference for confined spaces. Together, they witnessed much of the cruelty and hardships of the galaxy. As a dancer on Ryloth, Rar would learn the grace and dexterity which would aid her in lightsaber combat in years to come, as well as the feminine charm found alluring by so many males. She came to love dancing, 13 despite her status as a slave. Eventually, the Rar sisters were rescued from their hand-to-mouth existence when they were discovered by Jedi Knight Daesharacor, 1 who purchased their freedom once she recognized their innate talent in the Force. On New Plympto, Rars anger and grief were tempered by the presence of her sister. The resistance, supplied by maverick Jedi Kyp Durron, saw many successes against the invading Yuuzhan Vong. As the leaders of the movement, Rar and her sister used their physical similarities to masquerade as a single Twilek woman, or even a Human with suitable disguises. At resistance meetings, only one of the two sisters would ever be present, maintaining the charade that only one leader existed. Her partisan war against the enemy was drawing her close to the dark side of the Force, and Master Skywalker, the head of the Jedi Order, felt that Rar was putting her integrity as a Jedi at risk. ![]() All life was wiped from the surface of the planet, rendering it uninhabitable and killing seven million sentients. The Rar sisters were only just able to flee in time, hiding with several thousand other beings aboard a fleet of intrasystem ore miners until help arrived in the form of the Corellian cruiser Nebula Chaser, already loaded with refugees.
