Kendo Ryzak

After the Battle of Yavin, Kendo Ryzak and his group of mercenaries were recruited by the Galactic Empire to ensure the security of a secret Imperial research facility on the planet Lok. Because of a feud between General Otto, the commander of the Imperial garrison on Lok, and Imperial officers in charge of research facility, these officers deployed mercenaries and battle droids to guard the facility instead of requisitioning Otto's troops. The mercenaries were led by Udo Barnet and Kell Lapaz. However, the work at the Imperial Research Facility was quite boring for the mercenaries and some of them including Kendo Ryzak, Platt Pareja, Goll Bardok and Jeran Tarven, found themselves involved in illegal activities. As they frequently meddled in the affairs of the Lok Revenants, the most powerful criminal organization on Lok, they provoked the ire of their leader: the warlord Nym.

In 1 ABY, Nym and his lieutenant Kole decided to raid the Imperial research facility to steal the weapons developed there. As the criminals were planning their operation, Mako Ghast, another lieutenant of Nym, realized that the attack on the facility could be an unique opportunity to get rid of some annoying mercenaries. A group of spacers affiliated with the Lok Revenants then assaulted the research facility. They had to fight numerous mercenaries to get access to the research complex but they finally retrieved experimental weapons and research data. During the battle, a group of Revenants attacked Kendo Ryzak, Platt Pareja, Goll Bardok and Jeran Tarven and killed them in the ensuring firefight.
