- "I'm right behind you, Chio… and the Empire is right behind me."
- ―Rone to Chio Fain, above Ryarten
Ryarten was an astronomical object that appeared green from space.[1] In 6 BBY,[2] the slicers Chio Fain and Rone were pursued by TIE fighters of the Galactic Empire above Ryarten after they attempted to undertake a job that involved slicing into Imperial property. Rone was shot down and killed while attempting to distract the Imperial fighters, giving Fain a chance to escape into hyperspace.[1]

Ryarten appeared via flashbacks in the fourth issue of the 2019 Star Wars: Target Vader comic miniseries. The issue was written by Robbie Thompson, illustrated by Stefano Landini, and published by Marvel Comics[1] on October 9, 2019.[3]
