Golden Age Beast Rider

A Sithri beast rider from the Golden Age of the Sith. Trained to ride Rakisian lizardbacks, these riders formed the primary cavalry troops of the Nabataean faction among the Sith but were used by the other factions in great numbers as well. The Jai also employed beast riders, who strove to mentally connect to their mounts. Unlike the ancient Sithri whom they fought against, the Jai beast riders connected to their mounts in a symbiotic relationship that allowed the rider to control the mount as if it was his or her own body. Unfortunately, this also meant that the death of either the beast or the rider would kill both from sheer mental trauma. Due to these reasons, the Sithri riders, chose not to do this.
