In the battle , Moonsong disobeyed Stramm ' s orders and along with two other pilots destroyed Moff Valco Pandion ' s palace on Malastare . Biography . Galactic Civil War . Endor . Originally a smuggler , Gina Moonsong became a part of Adon Fox ' s Blade Squadron , in the waning days of the Galactic Civil War , with the rank of cadet . She was in a secret relationship with Lieutenant Braylen Stramm , which Fox suspected . When the Alliance decided to attack the Galactic Empire at Endor and destroy its unfinished superweapon , the Death Star II , the Blade Squadron was assigned to a rearguarding mission , much to Moonsong ' s annoyance . However , as soon as the Alliance Fleet made its entry in the Endor system from hyperspace , it became evident that the Empire had sprung a trap , as an armada of Imperial Star Destroyers had been waiting there . The rearguarding mission was immediately aborted , and Moonsong got an occasion to go into the kill - zone . When Blade Squadron faced the Star Destroyer " Devastator " , which had once killed Fox ' s wife , Moonsong ' s commander ordered to start an attack run on that ship . Moonsong along with her squadron engaged in a battle with a large number of incoming TIE / IN interceptor s . After a long fight she thought of a plan to attack the Devastator and send the data to Stramm and Fanty , two of the few remaining members of the squadron . However Fanty ' s targeting system had crashed so he told Moonsoong to go on without him . The TIE Interceptor ' s that were on her tail were blown up by Stramm . She locked flight paths with him and together they launched proton torpedoes which hit the weak points in the Devastator ' s navigation shielding . This resulted in the destruction of the Star Destroyer . After Endor . After the Battle of Endor , Moonsong got promoted to the rank of lieutenant . She , along with other B - wing pilots who had survived the Battle of Endor , was awarded the Medal of Bravery , but she felt that the medals should be given to the pilots who had lost their lives in the battle . She continued her relationship with Stramm who was made the commander of Blade Squadron . Some time later three new cadets - Yori Dahn , Jordan Karls , Cutter Poole - joined Blade Squadron . She interviewed them and got in a little argument with Poole . She then introduced Fanty to them and told them that their training would start the next day at oh - six hundred . Malastare . Sometime later , Stramm told her that their next target was an Imperial communications hub on the planet Malastare . When Moonsong observed on the map that Malastare was sheilded , he told her that the shield generator was next to the target and according to Admiral Ackbar ' s technician s they could take them both out at the same time by creating a temporary aperture . Gina asked him about the locale planetside on the map , and Stramm told her that it was the vacation palace of Moff Valco Pandion , who was the head of a slaver cartel . Moonsong insisted that they should destroy the palace , but Stramm disagreed , saying that they should be disciplined and careful . He added that they weren ' t sure whether the Moff was in the palace , and he didn ' t want to put anyone ' s life at risk going after him . When Moonsong continued arguing , Stramm told her to follow her orders . According to the plan , Blade Squadron attacked Malastare and successfully passed through the planetary shield ; however , Karls ' s B - wing caught the electromagnetic surge of the shield and exploded . Poole reported that he counted at least a dozen TIE Fighters inbound . Stramm and his B - wings peeled off from the rest of the squadron to attack the shield generator while Moonsong led them toward the incoming TIE Fighters . In the battle that followed , Poole was shot down by a TIE Pilot whom Moonsong in turn killed . However , the payback didn ' t bring her any solace . Stramm succeeded in destroying the shield generator and the communication hub and ordered the squadron to head to the rendezvous point . Moonsong told Fanty to take Yori to the rendezvous , but he told her that he was staying with her . She told them her plan to attack the Moff ' s palace , and she along with Fanty and Yori plunged towards the ground . Stramm ordered her to return but she ignored him . The three pilots launched the proton torpedoes at the palace and destroyed it . Gina ' s instruments went dark , and she kept accelerating upwards , thinking of the reception she would get from Stramm if she made it back . Kuat . After the action at Malastare , Blade Squadron was assigned to serve in the Battle for Kuat Drive Yards , bombing a supply monorail . Stramm had been assigned to coordinate the overall fleet actions , so Moonsong was tapped to take command of the squadron . In addition to the B - wings , a detachment of X - wing starfighter s led by Lieutenant Sandara Li was added in Blade Squadron in the escort capacity . At one point in the campaign , Li disregarded Moonsong orders ' s and peeled off from the B - wing bombers to attack an area covered with turbolaser batteries and walker s . Li ' s armament was unable to destroy the targets , so Moonsong was forced to sacrifice her ordnance to save her less experienced comrade . Later in the campaign , Moonsong and the rest of the squadron attacked and destroyed the Imperial command hub . Jakku . In 5 ABY , Moonsong led Blade Squadron in the Battle of Jakku . Although she and her wingmates managed to destroy the engine s of the " Executor " - class Star Dreadnought " Ravager " , Moonsong ' s craft was badly damaged and she crashed on the surface of the planet below . After joining forces with Phantom Squadron ' s Temmin Wexley and a depleted group of Rebel soldiers , she led an attack on an Imperial supply convoy and used the vehicle ' s transmitter to call for assistance .
