- PROXY, on Rahm Kota

Rahm Kota was a Human male who served as a and General during the Clone Wars. Born on, Kota fought in the trenches during the planet's internal conflicts from the age of ten. At the age of eighteen, Kota met the Jedi Mace Windu, who had been dispatched to the planet to end the conflict peacefully. Discovering Kota's Force-sensitivity, Windu took Kota back to the on  to be trained as a Jedi. Despite being well over the traditional age of acceptance, Kota was schooled in the Force by Masters Windu and Yoda. He took as his Padawan sometime before the Clone Wars, training him to Knighthood. During the Clone Wars, Kota was made a general in the. He did not believe that clone troopers were fit for battle, however, and refused to lead them. Instead, he commanded his own militia, comprising volunteers. In 19 BBY, when was issued—an emergency contingency that ordered the clone forces to terminate their Jedi commanders, who had been deemed a threat to the Republic—Kota survived the slaughter of his fellow Jedi since there were no clone troopers serving with him.

Going into hiding with his militia, he allied himself with Senator Bail Organa. Kota began striking at Imperial targets, taking interest in the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader and hoping to draw him into a confrontation. This culminated in a mission to seize a TIE Fighter Construction Facility in orbit of. Kota believed that he could draw Vader out with the strike but was instead confronted by the Dark Lord's secret apprentice. The two dueled in the facility's command center; Kota was beaten and blinded but managed to escape the confrontation. With his confidence shaken—and his connection to the Force seemingly gone—Kota turned to drinking and went into hiding in on. He was discovered by the apprentice he had dueled on Nar Shaddaa, who wanted his help in fighting the Empire. The apprentice—who had been tasked by Vader to create a rebellion with which to oppose Emperor Palpatine—wanted Kota to instruct him in the Force. Kota suspected that the young man before him was the same man who had blinded him, but—through the Force—sensed a bright spot within him that gave him hope that the apprentice could be turned away from the dark side. Kota agreed to help the apprentice and assisted him in making contact with Senator Organa, Senator Mon Mothma of, and Senator Garm Bel Iblis of , through a series of missions. Together, they pledged to form the to fight against the Empire. During this time, Kota recovered much of his former self and restored his connection to the Force.

During the subsequent meeting of the to formally create the Rebellion against the Empire, Vader attacked the assemblage with Imperial forces. The apprentice—who had come to renounce his ties to Vader and the Empire—had attempted to keep the meeting secret but had been discovered. Kota was captured, along with the gathered senators, and taken to the battlestation under construction in the Horuz system. Kota was to be interrogated and executed by the Emperor himself. The apprentice—who had been left for dead on Corellia—infiltrated the superweapon and fought his way to the prisoners. After engaging and beating Vader in a duel, the apprentice left Kota and his allies to the mercy of Palpatine while he finished Vader. When the apprentice returned, only Kota was left alive. After turning on Palpatine, the apprentice was ableto distract the Imperial forces and allow Kota to reach the hangar bay of the battlestation and escape.

Over the next year, Kota served as a general in the new Alliance, using his own squad of commandos to assault Imperial targets. Captured during a mission to, he was forced to fight in gladiatorial combat for the amusement of the world's ruler, Baron. Kota was eventually rescued by a clone of Anakin Skywalker. Although Skywalker was more interested in finding {{sw|Padme Amidala than in fighting the Empire, he provided Kota with coordinates and schematics for the cloning facilities located at {{sw|Timira City}} on the planet {{sw|Kamino}}. Kota led the Alliance Fleet to the water world, engaging an Imperial fleet in battle. The battle would be Kota's last, however. As Skywalker held the apprentice, now a Dark Lord of the Sith and renamed Starkiller, at his mercy, he was killed by another Skywalker clone, who then turned on Kota and the Rebel commandos, killing each one of them.
