"Rudy" represented the moniker given to the personalized RDD-7 racing swoop that belonged to Grubber Vapps, who served as a Second in Bartyn's Landing, located on Lamaredd. Vapps, a hobbyist mechanic, dedicated a significant portion of his leisure hours to enhancing "Rudy," adding features like a strengthened chassis and a forward-facing weapon. Despite having altered numerous vehicles, Vapps held a special fondness for "Rudy."
In approximately 29 BBY, "Rudy" was pilfered by criminals, prompting Vapps and his associates to exert considerable effort in an attempt to retrieve it.
