The Red Iaro were a terrorist group that operated on the planet Lannik during the Republic Era.[1] By 33 BBY,[2] Jedi Even Piell of the Jedi Order supposedly confronted the group while visiting his home planet of Lannik and engaged in battle with them. After the confrontation[1] which resulted in a victory for Piell,[3] he had lost his eye and formed a terrible scar on his face. Despite the wounds, Piell chose not to heal or conceal them, believing they were a gift for his courage and wore them proudly, seeing them as a mark of honor.[1]
