| abstract | - Ravyr was the founder of the elite Rakatan commando group, the Militisab Cruentus which reformed itself as the Dark Side cult the Lost Ones. Ravyr was born in a normal family, with his father a part of the Rakatan military as one of its higher ranked commanders. At the age of 16, he was conscripted into the military where his skill for capture and retrieval quickly became evident. After a few short years, he joined the commando section of the Rakatan military. He then went on to form his own commando force and performed several important missions with it. In 24,300 BBY when the Eborax virus spread through the Rakatan population, Ravyr and the Militisab Cruentus was safely out of the way whilst on a mission in scouting a corridor of space. When they returned to Lehon, the Rakatan overlord, the One, declared that the Militisab Cruentus was to be captured. Ravyr and his unit narrowly escaped Lehon in a Rakatan Light Cruiser. Ravyr set a course for a planetary system his group had found years prior. Ravyr and his group arrived and explored the planet, Malachor VII. Whilst there Ravyr declared his group the true remnant of their once great empire and changed their name to the Lost Ones. A few short months later the Cruentusian War began. Ravyr and the Lost Ones had thoroughly settled on Malachor VII and it wasn't until the second year of the war that the Lost Ones entered the war, when a small starship crash landed on Malachor VII. Ravyr lead a small group of his fellow acolytes, and captured one of the survivors from the captured ship. Ravyr learned of the war and all of its contestants. Threatening the survivor with death, Ravyr tasked him to scout and gather information for the Lost Ones. Learning from the survivors that the fabled Rakatan object, the Hand of Darkness had been found by one of the war's major factions, Ravyr made the decision to leave their self-imposed exile and retrieve it. Fearing that the species Ravyr considered 'lesser' might gain access to the Hand of Darkness' power, Ravyr gathered a group of his best men and traveled to Kopalnia in their Rakatan Light Cruiser. When Ravyr arrived he found the Necasian Military and the Srav Federation in combat. Ignoring them, Ravyr and his team landed on the planet and entered the mine that contained what they were seeking. After a short battle inside the mine, Ravyr grabbed the Hand of Darkness from its case. Using the power of the Rakatan object, Ravyr and his team easily escaped the planet by using the Rakatan constructs on the planet against the Lost Ones' opponents. Shortly after Ravyr gained the Hand of Darkness and escaped with it, Ravyr began seeking out one of the Rakatan Military's hidden Battle Droid caches, and eventually found one on the desert world of Ahara. Mentally destabilized by prolonged exposure to the Hand, Ravyr ranted about conquering the galaxy, and then used his droid army to attack holed-up Srav and Necasian commandos. However, the Zayre, led by Storm Ironwings, joined the battle, and Ravyr engaged Ironwings personally. Although he soon managed to wear her down, the Necasian and Srav commandos intervened and distracted him long enough for Ironwings to mortally wound him and steal the Hand. Left for dead, Ravyr managed to get up a few minutes later and vowed to get revenge on those who had wronged him. Seconds later, he and the Rakatan complex around him was incinerated by a Srav tactical nuclear weapon. Upon Ravyr's death, the Rakatan Battle Droid army shut down and the Lost Ones left the war to recuperate under a more level-headed leader.
