	Raith Sienar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the fictional Star Wars Expanded Universe, Raith Sienar was the head of Sienar Fleet Systems which was responsible for producing the Galactic Empire's TIE fighters.
		Raith Sienar also had plans for a Death Star-like battle station.
		He prefered the sleek to the grandiose, and was the inventor of the Sith Infiltrator, as well as the TIE fighter (and its offshoots).

		Sienar is a name that is known galaxy-wide, but his involvement with the Death Star’s creation went unnoticed by historians for a number of years.
		Raith, the son of Narro Sienar, was born into a wealthy shipbuilding family sixty years before the Battle of Yavin.
		Raith was something of a maverick, abandoning the family business at a young age, and amassing his own fortune by the age of twenty.

		Raith Sienar's twin ion engine design allowed the Eta-2 to achieve a maximum acceleration of 5,200g.

		The Delta line was sold to Sienar some years after the Galactic Republic became the Galactic Empire.

		Sienar handed him a small, nut-sized silver vocoder connected by a flexible wire to a beautifully machined plasteel mouthpiece.
		As far as Sienar was concerned, for all their gallantry and discipline, the Jedi were technological ignoramuses--but for their lightsabers, of course.

	SWRPGNetwork - Starfighter Research Carrier
		Sienar Fleet Systems produced a special capital ship capable of acting as a mobile research facility for such projects, allowing them to field test their prototype starfighters while observing them firsthand.
		When Raith Sienar and his R&D staff set about creating this labratory/weapon, they made sure to give the ship enough firepower and defenses so as not to become an easy target for enemy capital ships; after all, all would be for naught if the ship's experiments and records were destroyed.
		With their extensive resources (and, thanks to the relatively small number of the craft created), Sienar was able to put a decent number of turbolaser batteries and point defense weapons on the ship, freeing up the experimental TIEs for whatever function they are intended to serve.

	Some consistancy issues with Star Wars... [Archive] - SpaceBattles.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Death Star's origins are form the mind of one Raithe Sienar, the founder of what would become Sienar Fleet Systems, and build the Interdictor Cruiser and the TIE series of fighters.
		All Sienar’s words prove is that he himself believed that with the post-Naboo crisis fiasco the Trade Federation was dealing with, the last thing they were going to fund/support from Baktoid Armor or anyone else was the building of a grandiose weapon beyond their needs that could cause new legal troubles with the Republic.
		The truth is Sienar felt they wouldn’t be interested beyond their needs, and you leapt-in-logic to assume that meant they weren’t interested, and that that meant the CIS wouldn’t be interested eight years later.

		The present weapon may be more of a single-shot “Base Delta Zero” weapon (reference to the Imperial codeword for a naval bombardment to melt the surface of an inhabited planet).
		It could be from Sienar himself, or from one of his subordinates, or the product of a think-tank in his company.

		Raith Sienar is an excellent new character and I hope he appears somewhere else down the road, though I doubt he will.

		Sienar was also an interesting guy but that was about it.

		While RSS gave no specific details on incorporation of the twin ion engine in to their existing line of starships, reports indicate that power-yield compatibility issues with current hyperdrive, life-support and shielding technologies may prove prohibitive.

		Some sources state that the Death Star was the best of Raith Sienar's Expeditionary Battle Planetoid and the Geonosian/Imperial superweapon combined into one superweapon.
		It is really random with entries on characters from Knights of the Old Republic video game, but no entries on Bevel Lemelisk or Raith Seinar.

		After Raith Sienar gave the plans to Tarkin, who in turn gave them to Palpatine, Palpatine & Dooku enlisted the Geonosians to help them refine the designs.
		The details hadn't been ironed out, and it had two smaller spheres at the poles - I think they were part of the reactor assembly.
		Sienar gives the plan to Tarkin, then Tarkin gives the plan to the Geonosians.

		Perhaps the Geonosians had no part in the design process, but more of the construction process.
		Raith Sienar (who designed all of the TIE fighters) might have made the rough layout and/or the superlaser design and given it to Tarkin, who then passed the layout to the Geonosian building contractors, who then gave the secret plans to Dooku to keep safe with Sidious.
		Assuming Sidious is Palpatine, he may have hired Lemelisk to finish the intricacies of the design (which is why Lemelisk was blamed for the weakness of the Death Star in "Darksaber"), and when Palpatine created the Empire, work began on the space station.

		Raith Sienar, who seems to be one of the main antagonists of Greg Bear's Rogue Planet, was the designer of the Sith Infiltrator, according to several official LFL sources, including the Insider's Guide CD-ROM.
		These sources don't specify if Raith was directly involved with the Darths and designed Maul's ship personally, but his Sienar Design Systems did build it.
		However, one might presume that there are some shady dealings between the Darths and Raith himself, as the latter's future company, Sienar Fleet Systems, builds the famous TIE fighter, including a special prototype for a certain future Sith lord.

		An early concept of the designs conceived of a number of spheres connected together and powered by a massive hypermatter generator.
		Sienar showed these designs to then-Republic naval Commander Wilhuff Tarkin, who took possession of the plans after he disrupted Sienar's mission to bring a vessel from Zonoma Sekot back to the Republic.

		The one problem with the cloaking device is that it uses an extremely rare power source, known as stygium crystals, found only on one planet, Aeten II.
		The Sith Infiltrator was designed by Raith Sienar, and it was modeled somewhat closely after an armed courier ships, which was developed by Sienar's Advanced Projects Laboratory.
		Although unknown at the time of its creation, the Sith Infiltrator's design closely resembled future ships, also made by Sienar, which were called the "TIE" series of starfighters.
