Rycar Ryjerd was the father of Rayc Ryjerd. Oftentimes, he found employment in the Mos Eisley Cantina on Tatooine, training people to be pilots or to help smugglers make a run. At one point, he was a partner of Nabrun Leids, but they later went their own ways, while maintaining a friendly competition. Ryjerd was an expert gun-runner, and flew weapons for Jabba between Nar Shaddaa and Tatooine. He had a droll sense of humor, and was considered by others to be an idiot. His personal bodyguard was Shud Haloo.
In 3 ABY, he was one of the competitors in a race near Novolek Beacon organized by Mal Biron to select skilled smugglers for employment by Black Sun. His ship was named the Tower.
