Gwarrk

Gwarrk was a Rishii chieftain during the time of the Clone Wars. Around 21 BBY, Confederate Geonosian forces invaded the world of Rishi in order to get the planet's exonium minerals. After the Separatists successfully captured the mines, the Jedi High Council sent Green Company, a unit of clone troopers, to Rishi in order to retake them. Upon the arrival of the clones, Gwarrk ordered Green Company's Clone Commander to start the battle despite the absence of a Jedi General.

The Geonosians had the far better position and were able to repel the clones' attacks. After a short time, Jedi General Kit Fisto arrived and called for the Republic troops to retreat. Although Gwarrk asked Fisto why he had recalled the clones and insisted on another attack, Fisto invented an alternative plan. He went to the entry of the mines and used his lightsaber to deflect the laser shots of a sharpshooter, 2242, at the Geonosians. After Fisto had weakened the Geonosian defenses, the Republic forces—aided by Rishii warriors—were able to retake the mines.
