Vurrulf , a Klatooinian , was a starfighter pilot in the New Republic ' s Rogue Squadron in 11 ABY . The Rogues were a twelve - person squadron of X - wing fighter pilots who served New Republic Starfighter Command . Vurrulf flew in the squadron ' s Three Flight along with wingmate Ghufran , as well as Rogue Ten , Ooryl Qrygg ; and Rogue Nine , Captain Corran Horn — the flight group ' s leader . The Rogues were commanded overall by Rogue Leader , Colonel Tycho Celchu . 11 ABY saw Rogue Squadron assigned to hunt for the elusive pirate group known as the Invids , who managed to elude every New Republic attempt to capture them , leaving the Rogues with about a week of down time in between raids . When New Republic Intelligence received a tip that the Invids would be attacking the luxury liner " Glitterstar " near the moon Alakatha , the Rogues were ferried almost all of the way to Alakatha ' s star system aboard the MC80 Star Cruiser " Home One " . They finally entered the system using micro - jumps , and their X - wings went to ground on several large asteroids near the moon . When the modified bulk cruiser " Booty Full " arrived in - system and dispatched numerous ugly starfighters to attack the " Glitterstar " , Rogue Squadron intercepted and engaged them . Horn told Three Flight to pick their targets carefully , and after their enemies ' ranks had been thinned considerably , Vurrulf covered Horn as the captain pursued and destroyed an ugly tri - fighter . The " Booty Full " quickly surrendered , and with all of the uglies defeated , " Home One " and two New Republic " Victory " - class Star Destroyers entered the system to collect both the Rogues and the defeated bulk cruiser . Vurrulf and the Rogues underwent a debriefing aboard " Home One " while en route to the New Republic ' s capital planet , Coruscant , and upon arrival , they all landed their X - wings in a hangar . Not long afterward , Vurrulf ' s flight leader , Corran Horn , left the squadron to train as a Jedi in Master Luke Skywalker ' s New Jedi Order . Personality and traits .
