Rikummee

Rikummee was a brash and trouble-prone Wookiee male who lived during the waning years of the Galactic Republic. He was the son of the Wookiee royal King Grakchawwaa, and so lived as a prince on his species' homeworld of Kashyyyk. During the Clone Wars between the Republic and the separatist Confederacy of Independent Systems in 21 BBY, both governments were vying for the favor of Rikummee's father and the Wookiee people. The Confederates quickly became impatient with the indecisive Grakchawwaa, and so dispatched a number of hostile battle droids to the forests outside of the Royal City. While on a hunt with his protector Ghraggka in the Western Forest, Rikummee was shot and killed by one of these droids. Upon learning of his son's murder, King Grakchawwaa declared war against the Confederacy and joined the Republic's fight against the invaders.
