Rachalt Hyst is a Dark Character (Alien) from Tatooine.
Card Text
Adds 2 to power of anything she pilots. During a battle involving Rachalt, whenever opponent draws an Interrupt for destiny may use 2 Force to cause that Interrupt to be lost. While armed with a weapon at a site, Force drain +1 here.
Lore
Strange female Snivvian who frequents the cantina daily. Betrayed her loved ones, who then left her on Tatooine to die. Everything she's ever cared about is now gone or dead.
Strategy
Although the 8th Snivvian in Star Wars CCG (POP QUIZ -- one named Snivvian is not a character card... can you work out which?), Rachalt is the first pilot of her species to make it onto a card.
Her lore tells a story almost as harsh as her features, but her game text provides an ability you may find useful! Sandwiched between a little drain-adding text and a pretty standard piloting bonus is a nice interrupt-removal text. Whenever your opponent draws an Interrupt card for any destiny during battle, use 2 Force and throw it out! The destiny draw still counts (it is not canceled!), but that pesky recycling 5 can be taken a little further away from a player who is a good destiny tracker.
You may also think that devoting a weapon to Rachalt isn't really worth the effort for a Force drain +1 (even with Inconsequential Losses), but don't forget that if the opponent isn't running Menace Fades, Honor Of The Jedi, or Jedi Test #1, this is a handy way to turn a site with no Dark Side icons into a pesky "pinger." Of course, Rachalt ain't too great at avoiding weapon fire herself -- so keep her safe aboard something enclosed, and lo and behold, her +1 to drains still works! Maybe this Dark Side uncommon will find a place in a few of your decks after all?
Oh yeah, and the answer to the pop quiz? Takeel!
