Legend

this Wookiee was part of a small gang led by Meelo that operated on Cularin during the final years of the Old Republic. Because of this, he was considered the "founder" of the so-called Wookiee Liberation Front, or WOLF for short. Despite his strength, Roorrrwiir was a jumpy individual, and often reacted without any forethought to the smallest of distractions. Thus often led to nearly-disasterous results, and the formation of the Wookiee Liberation Front was a perfect example. When one of their members was captured and imprisoned by the Metatheran Cartel, Meelo led her inept comrades in a daring escape, which was bungled almost from the start. Roorrr had been given piloting duties for their speeder, despite the fact that he didn't know how to drive, and ended up crashed their speeder into the front window of the Metatheran Cartel's primary facility in Gadrin. In the resulting chaos, Meelo managed to rescue her friend, but the Jawa known as Keth-Keth decided that they needed to cover their escape. Screaming "Free Kashyyyk" as loud as his vocoder would project, Keth-Keth lobbed grenades at police vehicles while calling for people to rally around the Wookiee Liberation Front. Although it was a simple ruse, the Wookiee Liberation Front received a lot of press in the local holonewscasts, and eventually became a legitimate organization that funneled credits and supplies to help the Wookiees of Kashyyyk in their attempt to ousted the Separatist forces that were trying to take control of their homeworld.
