Raff

Raff was a male Yuuzhan Vong who served as a Battle Tactician for Commander Tla during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong War. When Shedao Shai died at Ithor, Tla was promoted and on Raff's advice assaulted the library world of Obroa-skai. At Obroa-skai, Raff monitored the collection of the wealth of intelligence obtained from the planet's libraries, and entered into a discussion with a priest, Harrar, over the importance of the Jedi to the galaxy's inhabitants.

It was in this way that Raff tentatively became involved in Harrar's plot to assassinate the Jedi. In accordance with the plan, High Priest Jakan's daughter Elan "defected" to the New Republic, and a lengthy series of false re-capture attempts and battles were staged in order to make the defection seem sincere. Against his better judgment, Raff counseled Tla in expending resources and time in the support of Harrar's scheme, assured by the priest and his confederate, the executor Nom Anor, that it would eventually bear fruit. Ultimately, Elan's treachery was uncovered and she died during a pitched space battle, the ploy an abject failure. Supreme Commander Nas Choka punished Tla and Harrar, recalling them in shame to the Outer Rim Territories, but not before Raff had provided his opinion that Hutt Space was viable as the next target for the fleet.
