Fictional history
I was born on Ratimari the forth planet with six moons orbiting it in the the Ratsil system. at birth I was taken away from my parents and to this day I still don't know who they are. all I know about them was that they were both rangers that were slain in the Emperor's Jedi purge. I found this out from Obi-Wan Kenobi one day as I gave him a lift home from Mos Eisley. I was immediately adopted by Jula and Silya Darklighter and raised on Tatooine. Luke, Biggs and I were close friends and did a lot of stuff together. I got an appointment into the Imperial Academy with Biggs but unfortunately Mr Lars (Luke's uncle) wouldn't let him go with us. We went to Coruscant for the testing to be able to go to Carida. we both finished near the bottom of the class in a lot of things because we are from a backwater Outer Rim world. We finished the week-long testing about three-quarters the way down the list but we still made it to Carida. Once we got there Biggs and I both went through the capital ship courses to be on the bridge. We thought the best way to become legendary heroes was to command the fleets. After two months of training we were assigned together aboard the Rand Ecliptic. I was assigned as the second in command of this new ship because of my academy training. We had a week to be on station so we went home to see Luke and our family. After returning, Biggs, Hobbie (Derek Klivian), and I organized and led the crew of the Rand Ecliptic to rebel against the Imps and we joined the Alliance a couple of months before Yavin. Biggs, Hobbie, and I were placed in the Tierfen Yellow Aces. Biggs was paired up with Piggy (Jek Porkins), Hobbie was paired up with Wes Janson and I was paired up with Kamisk Tobaria, the leader of the squadron. We flew several missions together and became good friends with Wedge Antilles. On one mission we were to assault a moon base and hijack a convoy for badly needed supplies. On that mission a pilot named Doran had some kind of attack and left his honor and our surprise in his afterwash. Commander Tobaria ordered Wes and Piggy to either calm him down or shoot him down. Unfortunately, because of being so close to the bases sensors Wes couldn't use ions so he had to shoot with lasers. He tried to disable the ship but the shot glanced off the cockpit and cracked it and killing Doran instantly. Biggs went with Wedge and Porkins to Red Squadron at Yavin while Janson, Hobbie and I went on an escort mission to bring supplies from Chandrilla to Yavin. We got into the Yavin system a minute before the Death Star blew up. We caught the comm chatter from Red squadron on Luke's third run down the Trench. I was happy when Wedge was able to get out of the trench after being hit and being made to pull out. But that turned to utter sadness as Biggs was killed a few seconds later. I was about to bring in my flight of X-wings to cover Luke in the trench but a wild YT-1300 came in so fast and with the pilot screaming like a crazed bantha. It startled us and we watched as the freighter got the TIEs off Luke's back and when he launched the torpedoes we all jetted to the moon base. When we landed in the hangar of the Great Temple we learned of Piggy's death after being able to talk to Luke. Later that day we all stood in the Grand Audience Chamber for the ceremony of the heroism of Luke, Han and Chewbacca. After the ceremony I caught up with Luke and we swapped several stories and were able to lift each others spirits about Biggs. A couple days later as we abandoned Yavin the Imps showed up and we had to fight our way out of the system. A Victory-class Star Destroyer called Exanguinator showed up and dumped a wing of eyeballs at us. Something that surprised us was that the TIE Fighters instead of attacking us turned around a destroyed the destroyer. This was after it got a few shots off at us destroying a couple transports. We lost several of our high ranking officers including General Dodonna when their transport was destroyed on the ground. When we picked up the "friendly" eyeballs we learned that it was Pash Cracken, our Intelligence head's son. As we started to set a base up at Derra IV the Imps caught us by surprise and we barely got out of there. After running from Derra IV and our convoy that was destroyed we set our base up on Hoth for temporary hiding until we could find a new place for a base. By now I was in charge of Gold Squadron while Luke was in charge of Rogue. While Rogue was on the ground battling AT-AT's I was in my X-wing leading my squadron and the transports away from Hoth. When Luke disappeared when he left Hoth my good friend Wedge Antilles got command of Rouge Squadron. Rogue was pulled to some contested sectors to level Imp bases and Gold was shifted over to escort patrol. After a year of boring escort missions my squadron fought along side Rogue at Gall. I lost four pilots and Wedge lost two. Even though we lost a total of six pilots that day the fact that we destroyed the Imperial Star Destroyer Devastator at Gall made it worth the cost.
