The Rothana experimental walker, abbreviated REW, was a walker developed by Rothana Heavy Engineering during the High Republic Era. The walker—the latest by Rothana Heavy Engineering—was displayed at the Republic Fair on the planet Valo. When Nihil marauders attacked the fair, a small group that included Chancellor Lina Soh, Jedi Master Stellan Gios, Regasa Elarec Yovet, and several other survivors boarded the walker to evade the war cloud of gas that the Nihil dispersed across the fairground. Soh managed to pilot the walker, surprising both Gios and herself. The walker was eventually destroyed by a Nihil death charge explosive, leaving Soh severely injured and several other passengers with lesser injuries.[1]
