Ekiya

Ekiya was a female individual from the planet Rei'izu. When she was fourteen years old, the Sith conquered her homeworld and she was conscripted to serve as a trooper in the Sith rebellion; she would later say she must have looked strong enough to fight and smart enough not to fight the Sith. She was part of a group of ten conscripts that included , Kabeji, Sae, Shogo, and Unsuke. One week after they had been shipped offworld, the leader of the rebellion—the Dark Lord of the Sith who would later be known as the Ronin—betrayed his fellow Sith. As the rebellion collapsed, Rei'izu was somehow taken with it, leaving empty space where the world had once been. The giving orders to Ekiya and her group wanted them to make a last stand against the Jedi and the Empire. Instead, they conspired to kill the commander to free themselves. They were successful, but only six survived the uprising.

With Rei'izu missing, Ekiya and other beings from that world became refugees. Some time after the rebellion, Ekiya became the pilot of a starship named the Poor Crow. Over the years, she collected relics from fellow Rei'izu refugees. Within the relics were kyber crystals that were believed to contain the ghosts of the dead, and they were meant to be brought to a temple on Rei'izu; with their world missing, it became impossible to send the ghosts home. Ekiya was entrusted with delivering the relics someday if Rei'izu could be found.

As an adult, Ekiya had a round face, thick black hair, and many colorful floral tattoos on her muscular arms.

Ekiya appeared in Ronin: A Visions Novel, a non-canonical tie-in to the Star Wars: Visions short film "The Duel," which was written by Emma Mieko Candon. The character does not appear in the short film.
