"Kindred" Episode Guide | Star Wars Rebels - S4 E7

A Noghri assassin, Rukh is an agile hand-to-hand fighter and exceptionally deadly. He loyally serves Grand Admiral Thrawn, handling missions that his master's Imperial subordinates have failed to complete.

An alien species, Noghri are hairless, feature a row of horns atop their heads, and walk with a simian gait. They stand upright but run on all fours, able to leap great heights and jump long distances. In addition, Noghri are also gifted with a strong sense of smell, making them excellent trackers -- much like Grand Admiral Thrawn's personal assassin, Rukh.

Lothal is a diverse planet, with both farmland and a city center. During the age of the Empire, it fell under Imperial occupation, as farmers were kicked off their land and enormous TIE fighter and weapons factories were built. While most of the population felt powerless in the face of Imperial rule, a select few dared to fight back.

A breed of feline native to Lothal and often found in the grassy plains of the Outer Rim planet, Loth-cats are small, temperamental animals. While at times they can be friendly — and indeed, make affectionate pets when domesticated — Loth-cats are able hunters with sharp teeth and claws.

Ancient beasts depicted in Lothal cave paintings, little is known about the giant Loth-wolf. Ezra Bridger, a Force-sensitive rebel, believes he encountered a loth-wolf, though none of his crewmates saw the creature.

Construction spheres are utilized by the Empire throughout the galaxy as depots for building materials. These giant round bases orbit planets where they can support Imperial development.
