Lachichuk

Lachichuk was a male Wookiee warrior and a famed hunter from the planet Kashyyyk. In 19 BBY, he served under Captain Merumeru in a volunteer army during the Battle of Kashyyyk in the final year of the galaxy-spanning Clone Wars. When a droid army belonging to the Confederacy of Independent Systems attacked the coastal city of Kachirho, Lachichuk, Merumeru, and dozens of other Wookiees fought on the beachfront alongside Jedi Masters and clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic in an effort to resist the assault. After a fierce battle, the Confederate force surrendered, and the war itself ended shortly thereafter.

At the conclusion of the war, all Confederate battle droids were shut down, and the Galactic Republic's Supreme Chancellor declared all Jedi enemies of the state and had them executed. The Republic troopers departed Kashyyyk, and Lachichuk joined in a massive Wookiee effort to clean up the battleground and salvage leftover machinery. Several days later, Lachichuk and three other Wookiees were alerted by the Human liaison Cudgel that several traders had arrived onworld seeking knowledge about Jedi. The Wookiees interrogated the newcomers at bowcasterpoint until they learned that the traders were Jedi on the run; at that point Lachichuk and the others brought the fugitives to see the Wookiee General Tarfful and his comrade Chewbacca.
