Ranquiv

A Storm-hair assuming the name "Ranquiv" was the commander of a squadron of Chosen, the warriors of the Storm-hair warlord Nuso Esva and his realm. In 0 ABY, the warlord dispatched Ranquiv and his squadron to the planet Poln Minor, commanding the warriors to arm fifty Whisperlike fighters—which they hid in a cavern—with Caldorf VII interceptor missiles.

Ranquiv hired several beings, including the Rebels Leia Organa and Han Solo, to help his forces arm the starfighters. While they did so, Ranquiv's troops walked toward the Rebels, who feared that they would not be able to leave the cavern without the Chosen commander's permission, commandeering a Whisperlike to escape; however, Solo crashed the starfighter and stole a speeder bus Ranquiv was using to transport his workers to the cavern and escaped. Shortly after, the Storm-hairs launched their starfighters during a battle between Esva's Eastern Fleet and Ranquiv's Whisperlikes and the forces of Senior Captain Thrawn of the Galactic Empire. Solo destroyed the Storm-hair's starfighters with a Golan One space station's weaponry. Thrawn's forces destroyed the Eastern Fleet, forcing Esva to flee.
