The Cuy'val Dar were a group of one hundred individuals summoned by Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett, to come to the watery world of Kamino to train clone troopers for the Galactic Republic. Of these one hundred males and females, seventy-five were Mandalorians like Fett, and in the Mandalorian language Cuy'val Dar meant "those who no longer exist"—a name stemming from the need for these individuals to disappear to Kamino without contact with the outside galaxy due to the secrecy surrounding the developing Grand Army of the Republic. For close to ten years, these one hundred training sergeants trained the Grand Army's ten thousand clone commandos until their deployment at the Battle of Geonosis in 22 BBY, which sparked the galactic Clone Wars. With their contract up, many of the Cuy'val Dar trainers went back to their lives, but a small number, including Rhyx Cadera, continued professional relations with the Republic, returning to train further generations of clones on Kamino, and later cross-training standard clone soldiers with commando skills.

At one time, Rhyx was a member of the Mandalorian Protectors, but as they started fling more in line with supporting the CIS and their beliefs, he secretly felt it was the wrong side. Someone found out, exposed him to the Protectors who turned on him and exiled him. In retaliation, he made contact with Fett to join the Cuy'val Dar.

Conflict: Best in the Field

Be the best; that's the creed by which this Rhyx lives. In this case. he strives for himself and his trainees to be the best combatants. He wants his squad to be the last ones standing on the field of battle. the consummate warrior. He is willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish this.

Personnel (0)

More than machines, credits, or information, the warriors of the Republic are the most important and vital assets there are, and Rhyx knows this. He is devoted to seeing to their safety, well-being, and capacity for success. No one should ever be left behind: the most successful missions might not achieve every goal, but they are successful nonetheless when no one dies.

"You're the best in your field—the best soldiers, tacticians, sappers, communicators, survival experts. I picked you personally because I want you to train the best commandos in the galaxy. You'll have everything you need, whatever you want, except one thing—home. This is a top-secret project. You'll not tell anyone where you're going and you'll not leave Kamino, ever. As far as your friends and family are concerned, you're already dead."
