Legend

although born on Kailion, Rade considered himself a native of the planet Garqi. He was the son of Dynba Tesc and Captain Dromath. Rade was education as a botanist, and was serving as a teaching assistant when the Yuuzhan Vong invasion began. Rade became the de facto leader of the Garqi resistance, especially since many of its early members were his own students. He later greeted Corran Horn, when the Jedi arrived on Garqi during the Yuuzhan Vong occupation of the planet. He had been managing the meager resistance to the Vong presence, carrying on his mother's legacy of fighting against those who would usurp power. With Corran's appearance on Garqi, along with that of Jacen Solo, Rade hoped to garner Jedi sanctioning for the vicious work of his resistance team. Corran didn't give it to him outright, but he allowed Rade to ensure the safety of the general populace from Yuuzhan Vong attacks. After the discovery that the pollen of the bafforr tree was deadly to the Yuuzhan Vong's vonduun crab armor, Corran had to return to Coruscant. Rade promised to continue working toward the liberation of Garqi until the New Republic could lend military assistance.
