Where/when does RIS come from in star wars literature/films? Nothing about it on the SWG databank.
The origins are Japanese, see... Why, do you ask? 'Cause I bought it in Japan.

Darth Vaders Helm is modified RIS, the flat top part of the ris helm was simply bended down closer to his head, so he would have greater mobility.

So that's a usage of RIS... but where does it come from?

RIS has nothing to do with Vader.
The real answer to this question is that RIS, like Composite, Padded, Wookiee, Maurader, Ithorian, Bounty Hunter, Shocktrooper, Rebel, Bone, & Chitin are not from the SWU. /sad, /pout

actually
composite appeared in KOTOR 1
Wookiee armour (or at least a number of similar pieces) appeared throughout episode 3
Bounty Hunter armour was worn in a number of the dark horse EU comics
Shocktrooper is an altered darktrooper suit
Pieces of bone armour appear in dark horse EU comics (never a full suit though)
RIS never did "appear" as far as I know, but it is obviously of a similar design to vaders
As far as the rest goes, its all made up for the game, ESPECIALLY the ithorian!

Not true! They got the Ithorian suits from "Short Circuit"!

I know an Ithorian who has a 'Johnny-Five Stay Alive!' macro.

Word. (paraphrased o'course). RIS looks like samurai armor, to me... It's probably thedress thing.

Rebel battle, Rebel recon, Padded and Shocktrooper armour looks as they are from some 80ies star wars comics. The padded was there worn by some corporate sector police, Rebel recon was worn by rebel marines and Rebelbattle looks as an armour some BHs uses as survival suites, Shcoktrooper was worn by some diplomat stormtroops that acted bodyguards, but they all look alot better then they did in the comics and that is sad.
The marauder armour looks as the clothes marauders used in i think one of the ewokes movies but i am not sure.
I think they just made this armours up to fill out the amounts of armours availible and i dont cry it would be much worse if we needed to wear what is just in the movies because we should all be clones then.
I am all for that they add more apperances as maybe the Merc armour humans wear in jedi academy.
Fein out
