Darrel Borsen was the Base Commander of the Rebel smuggling base on Danton VI. He was in command when a local disease caused the Imperials to quarantine the entire planet. When a group of Rebels came to the planet, he instructed them to contact Imperial Star Destroyer captain Julias Narn to help them retrieve the antidote which had been stolen by Galderian pirates, as they were the only people in the system with enough firepower to take on the pirates.
