Ella[2] was a human[1] stormtrooper in the 501st Legion,[2] the Sith Lord Darth Vader's personal legion.[3] The trooper served in a fireteam alongside fellow stormtroopers Riccarn, Tig, Xander and Deena Lorn. The fireteam members made it through many missions together, and were thus assigned with a squad aboard[2] the Executor-class Star Dreadnought[4] Executor.[2]
Aboard the Super Star Destroyer, Ella spent some nights with their squadmates, aside from trooper FS-451, sat in a corner in the destroyer's mess hall, notably sipping alcohol illegally distilled by Xander and wondering why 451 was still only a stormtrooper.[2] In 3 ABY,[5] when the Executor traveled to the tibanna mining colony Cloud City, Ella, Riccarn and Xander remained stationed on the vessel while Lorn, Tig and FS-451 went down to the city with Vader.[2]
Behind the scenes
Ella was mentioned in the short story "The Witness," which was written by Adam Christopher and released as part of the 2020 short story collection From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back.[2]
