"Cherroi's complaining about falling behind on that competition with Squadron Five!"
―A pilot of the 204th[2]

Duchas Cherroi[3] was a human[1] TIE fighter pilot in Squadron Three[3] of the Galactic Empire's 204th Imperial Fighter Wing during the Galactic Civil War between the Empire and the New Republic.[2] Around 5 ABY,[4] while the fighter wing was stationed aboard the Quasar Fire-class cruiser carrier Aerie, Cherroi had a competition with the 204th's Squadron Five, but fell behind. The Imperial pilot's efforts were discussed by another pilot in the Aerie's mess hall, which was briefly overheard by the fighter wing's commanding officer Major Soran Keize as he headed for a meeting. Cherroi shared an intimate relationship with fellow Squadron Three pilot Gargovik, who were often seen together between missions.[2]

Given that Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates their move to 5 ABY, the events of Shadow Fall must also take place around that time.
