"The Empire won't stop until we make them."
―Captain Drogan[1]

Fennro Drogan was a human born with a limb difference. As an adult, he was quick to respond to the Rebel Alliance's call for soldiers. Drogan had a strong sense of justice and a passion to help those in need and was both a respected tactician and skilled technician. He was a member of the Ghorman Front before joining the Rebellion as a member of the Bitter Pill Company. He eventually achieved the rank of captain, proudly fighting the Galactic Empire in multiple engagements, including the Battle of Endor. He carried a datapad, which controlled a flame turret, as well as a blaster pistol.[1] Per his service record, Drogan was qualified to pilot A/SF-01 B-wing starfighters[2]

Behind the scenes

"It's important that our players can see themselves in our game. People with disabilities belong in Star Wars, belong in games, and belong in our community."
―Galaxy of Heroes's kit reveal for Captain Drogan[3]

Fennro Drogan is an original character created for the mobile game Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, by EA Capital Games. He was added to the game on August 29, 2023, and became unlockable through his marquee event on August 31 of that year.[3]

The development team wanted to add a character with a limb difference that highlighted that it was a normal part of him, he was important to the Alliance and a part of the wider Star Wars universe, and represent a segment of the community within the universe. When asked if Drogan had been injured in battle, they clarified that he was born with phocomelia,[4] a real-world condition,[5] and noted that he did not have any prosthetics or futuristic weapons.[4]
