Rikarda was a human female who worked as a freighter captain during the reign of the Galactic Empire, piloting the light freighter Stellar Sun.[1] In 4 BBY,[2] she agreed to transport the gambler Lando Calrissian to the planet Klonoid, where he would retrieve droid parts. En route to Klonoid, however, Calrissian learned that his precious puffer pig had been stolen by the Varluk Organization and taken to the planet Zyzar. Although it meant a significant detour, Rikarda agreed to take her passenger there after he promised to make it worth her while. When it turned out that her client's recovery mission had turned awry, Rikarda picked him and his pig up, helping them escape a firefight.[1]
Personality and traits
Rikarda was a fair-skinned woman with amber eyes. Lando Calrissian described her as a beauty, and she accepted his compliments.[1]
Behind the scenes
Rikarda first appeared in "Puffer Problems"[1], a comic published in Star Wars Rebels Magazine 21 and later in a non-canon comic "The Best Builder", featured in LEGO Star Wars 28. Both comics were written by Martin Fisher. In "The Best Builder," she mentioned she had lost the Stellar Sun to Morta Bota. She was defeated in the Best Builder Competition on Mertes by Zander Freemaker, who later won the entire contest and gave her the reward, a T-6 shuttle, as a gift.[3]

- ↑ "Puffer Problems" takes place after "Idiot's Array," where Lando Calrissian got his puffer pig, but prior to Star Wars Rebels: The Siege of Lothal, when Lando left Lothal. As Star Wars: Galactic Atlas places "Idiot's Array" and Star Wars Rebels: The Siege of Lothal in 4 BBY, "Puffer Problems" must take place in the same year.
