Riccarn[2] was a human[1] stormtrooper who served in[2] the Sith Lord Darth Vader's personal legion,[3] the 501st Legion. As part of a fireteam alongside fellow stormtroopers Ella, Tig, Xander and Deena Lorn, Riccarn made it through many missions with their the other troopers, and they were assigned with a squad aboard[2] the Executor-class Star Dreadnought[4] Executor.[2]
Riccarn spent some nights in a corner of the Super Star Destroyer's mess with their squadmates, aside from trooper FS-451, notably sipping alcohol illegally distilled by Xander and wondering why 451 was still only a stormtrooper. Riccarn claimed that 451 had wanted to become an incinerator trooper, contrary to Tig's belief that the stormtrooper wished to become a death trooper.[2] In 3 ABY,[5] Riccarn, Ella and Xander remained aboard the Executor, when it traveled to the tibanna mining colony Cloud City, while Lorn, Tig and FS-451 were sent down to the city with Vader.[2]
