Rishi a lush tropical world that was only discovered a century ago by a group of pirates known as the Nova Blades. Since their discovery and settlement of the planet, the world has become a haven for criminals. Pirates, mercenaries, bounty hunters, all are welcome here, as long as you do not mess with the status quo or the Nova Blades. Luckily the natives of Rishi, the Rishii have fared well with their neighbors, preferring to live in the mountains while the non-Rishii live in the lowlands. An arrangement that suits both sides and the two can peacefully co-exist. The only noteworthy event that has happened to Rishi recently was the Battle of Rishi that was fought between the Republic and Sith Empire due to the manipulations of Revan. The thought dead legendary figure that started his own crisis and forced the Republic and the Empire to work together to defeat him.
Now the planet is housing a small group of Jedi that hiding there. After managing to evade the Sith, they are have found refuge among lowlives that regularly frequent visit the planet. For now, they are safe and have taken shelter in a run-down building near the main port of Raider’s Cove. No one noticed or seem to care who this new group was that had taken up residence there. Now they can relax a bit and rest from their journey to his world. For long how they will be safe here is a question that the Jedi may find an answer to that sooner or later.
