'''Navik''', also known as '''Navik the Red''', was a [[Rodian/Legends|Rodian]] [[Warlord/Legends|warlord]] who served as the [[Grand Protector of the Rodians|Grand Protector]] of [[Rodia/Legends|Rodia]] during the [[Galactic Civil War/Legends|Galactic Civil War]]. [[Gender/Legends|He]] gained his nickname from the [[Color/Legends|red]] [[birthmark]] on his face. His given name, "Navik," was [[Rodese]] for "dark" and was considered to be a prophetic name.

==Biography==
During the reign of [[Galactic Emperor/Legends|Emperor]] [[Palpatine/Legends|Palpatine]], Navik's tribe, the [[Chattza Clan|Chattza]], used Rodia's traditional [[Rodian Clan Wars|wargames]] to attack other tribes. He attacked the [[Tetsu Clan]], wiping out many of their members, including [[Greedo the Elder]], and forcing the survivors, including [[Greedo/Legends|Greedo's son and namesake]], to flee the planet to worlds such as [[Nar Shaddaa/Legends|Nar Shaddaa]].<ref name="AHF:GT" /> Not content with exiling them, he tracked down many survivors throughout [[The galaxy/Legends|the galaxy]] and killed them.<ref name="TCSWE">''[[The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia]]''</ref> When Navik became the Grand Protector of Rodia, he moved the capital from [[Equator City]] to [[Iskaayuma]], the Chattza settlement. He also built ties to [[Prince/Legends|Prince]] [[Xizor/Legends|Xizor]] and [[Black Sun/Legends|Black Sun]]. During his time as Grand Protector, the Chattza clan's rivals, the [[An'yettu clan]], were prevented from leaving [[An'yettu Islands|their island home]] by Navik.<ref name="SOTEPG">''[[Shadows of the Empire Planets Guide]]''</ref> He remained in his position throughout the [[Galactic Civil War/Legends|Galactic Civil War]].<ref name="TCSWE" />

After the [[Battle of Endor/Legends|Battle of Endor]], Rodia joined the [[Alliance of Free Planets]], though Navik decided not to join the [[New Republic/Legends|New Republic]] (possibly fearing a war crimes tribunal). Rodia eventually joined, and Navik appointed himself Senator of [[Savareen sector/Legends|Savareen sector]] to the [[New Republic Senate/Legends|New Republic Senate]]. He was later appointed to [[Borsk Fey'lya]]'s [[New Republic Advisory Council|Advisory Council]], and voted for defending [[Bothawui/Legends|Bothawui]] over [[Corellia/Legends|Corellia]], due to Rodia's proximity to Bothawui. During a meeting concerning the [[Yuuzhan Vong]] [[Yuuzhan Vong War|invasion]], he was outraged at the loss of the [[Mid Rim]] worlds of [[Kalarba/Legends|Kalarba]], [[Druckenwell/Legends|Druckenwell]] and [[Falleen (planet)/Legends|Falleen]] to the enemy, citing that the New Republic favored the [[Core Worlds/Legends|Core Worlds]] and [[Chief of State (New Republic)|Chief of State]] [[Borsk Fey'lya]]'s homeworld of [[Bothawui/Legends|Bothawui]]. However, Navik showed his own opinions when he blatantly told [[Jedi Master/Legends|Jedi Master]] [[Luke Skywalker/Legends|Luke Skywalker]] that [[Tatooine/Legends|Tatooine]], which was looking at potential invasion, was not his concern.
