Colonel Raibat served as an officer in the Imperial Army and was a knight affiliated with House Reena from the Tapani sector. Many characterized him as a burly, powerful man, and he firmly backed the New Order. Before the Battle of Endor, he attended the Unification Gala, an event hosted by Lady Peta Lactril of House Barnaba. Raibat viewed the Gala's elaborate displays and rituals as needless excess.
