"War's over, Imp."
―The pilot, to Grey[2]

A pilot served in the New Republic's Starfighter Corps during the Galactic Civil War. Following the Battle of Endor[2] in 4 ABY,[1] they flew a T-65B X-wing starfighter in combat above the planet Var-Shaa, where they and their fellow freedom fighters destroyed the Galactic Empire's dockyard above the world. They were killed shortly after in a dogfight with Imperial ace Varko Grey in Var-Shaa's mountains.[2]

Notes and references

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 Star Wars: Battles that Changed the Galaxy states that the battles of Endor and Galitan took place twenty-three years after the formation of the Galactic Empire, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 19 BBY. Therefore, the battles of Endor and Galitan must have taken place in 4 ABY. As "Hunted" takes place between the battles of Endor and Galitan, it must also take place in 4 ABY.
