Darita was a female pilot who served as a captain in the Galactic Empire's 204th Imperial Fighter Wing as the squadron leader of Squadron Two. During her time with Shadow Wing, she and Yrica Quell provided mutual support for each other, despite hardly knowing each other. In[2] 5 ABY,[1] she was killed during the New Republic's attack on Troithe, while trying to defend Shadow Wing as they made their escape from Troithe. Her squadron was to be the last aboard the bulk freighter seized by Shadow Wing, and she fell while escorting it.[2] Her sister was Lieutenant Darita, and one of them used the first name Shay. Darita was married to a man who resided on Jakku.[3]

Notes and references

In Shadow Fall, the Dark Secrets of Alphabet Squadron Revealed on StarWars.com (backup link) establishes that Shadow Fall: An Alphabet Squadron Novel takes place approximately half a year after the Battle of Endor, while Before the Awakening states Kes Dameron and Shara Bey moved to Yavin 4 around six months after the Battle of Endor. Given that Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates their move to 5 ABY, the events of Shadow Fall must also take place around that time.
