Rindao, situated near the Outer Rim Territories, was a rather unremarkable training facility during the era of the Galactic Empire. Upon the Empire's arrival and subsequent takeover of the planet, the inhabitants offered no direct resistance, thereby largely escaping severe oppression from the incoming government. A notable incident occurred when an Imperial officer overheard an old woman singing tunes that praised the bygone era of the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Knights. For what was interpreted as a disparagement of the Empire's prestige, she was promptly killed by blaster rifles. Nevertheless, her granddaughter, Tionne Solusar, preserved her legacy by rescuing her double viol and escaping the world. She eventually rose to become a Jedi Knight.
