Prithi Prithi was a Force - sensitive Chalactan female from the planet of Chalacta . From birth she was trained to join the Chalactan Adepts however she was drawn away by a love of piloting starfighters . During the Galactic Civil War she became a pilot for the Rebel Alliance , where she performed with enough skill and was deemed trustworthy enough to be selected by Leia Organa to be part of a team to uncover a mole within the alliance . The team worked entirely off the books , with only Mon Mothma knowing of their existence outside of the team ' s members . As well as discovering the mole they were also tasked with finding a suitable planet on which the alliance could set up a new base . During the group ' s training , Prithi became attracted to one of her fellow pilots , Luke Skywalker , and the two began a relationship . Their fraternizing was a concern to Leia Organa , who eventually grounded the both of them for conduct detrimental to the team . However , Prithi and Skywalker redeemed themselves by rescuing their team from an Imperial ambush , and they were restored to full status . Prithi was involved in a covert mission to the " Imperial I " - class Star Destroyer , " Devastator " , but her devotion to Skywalker compromised the mission , when she refused to leave her comrades when they took too long infiltrating the vessel . Skirting protocols to prevent Imperials from following her , she executed a single hyperspace jump back to the Rebel fleet , leading an Imperial force back to the Rebellion . Although the Alliance was able to ward off the attack , Prithi decided to abandon the Rebellion and return to Chalacta . Biography . Early life . Prithi was born on the planet Chalacta to two parents that wished for her to pursue theological studies and become a Chalactan Adept . Although she had been born with a measure of Force - sensitivity , Prithi was eventually declared unfit by the order . This was due to her poor concentration , owing to her belief that she was destined for a greater purpose away from Chalacta . Against her parents ' wishes , Prithi abandoned her studies and decided to pursue becoming a pilot for the Rebel Alliance against the ruling Galactic Empire . Upon joining the Alliance , Prithi ' s file compiled for her was short , compared to the other pilots , but her skills were at a level to get her noticed by Alliance High Command . Rebel leaders attributed the lack of information on her to the fact that she had spent the majority of her life training on Chalacta , but other leaders , such as Leia Organa believed the lack of information was indicative of a lack of research on the part of those that had accepted her into the Alliance , and that her file was most likely incomplete . Rebel pilot . Two months after the Battle of Yavin , Prithi was selected by Princess Leia Organa , one of the Rebellion ' s leaders , for a special mission . Alongside several other Rebel pilots , Prithi was addressed by Organa who stated that the gathered group was now part of a commando team under her direct command , with the Rebel pilot , Wedge Antilles , as her second . The group had been assigned to root out an Imperial spy who was interfering with the Alliance ' s attempt to find a new base . As a result , the team was going completely off the grid , reassigned and taken off the books . Although Prithi was hesitant to leave her post and her friend behind , Organa claimed that the assignment would be only temporary . After the team had been introduced to one another , each member of the group was given a stealth X - wing starfighter , designed for the mission . As part of Gray Flight , Prithi was assigned the call sign , Gray Seven , and the team began training exercises . In one exercise , to practice extravehicular retrieval , Prithi was stranded in space to be retrieved by another pilot . Gray Five , the Rebel pilot Luke Skywalker , zeroed in on Prithi ' s location and picked her up . Prithi flirted with Skywalker during the operation , but she was reprimanded by Organa who wanted the exercise to be professional . However , as they put in coordinates to return to the Rebel fleet , Skywalker decided to make several different stops before returning , to throw off anyone who might be tracking them . On the flight , Prithi and Skywalker became better acquainted , as the cockpit did not give them much personal space . Upon returning , both Skywalker and Prithi were reprimanded by Organa for taking their time to meet back at the rendezvous . Prithi was confined to quarters , and Skywalker and Prithi were grounded until further notice . Organa personally told Prithi that she would not be flying in the next few missions and assigned her to assist the protocol droid , C - 3PO , in rewiring the team ' s holosimulator s . Tracking the mole . Skywalker and Prithi continued to fraternize during their grounding , and Prithi learned of Skywalker ' s Force - sensitivity . During one of their meals together , Prithi noticed Skywalker talking to the spirit of Ben Kenobi , a Jedi Master who had instructed Skywalker in using the Force . Kenobi had warned Skywalker that Leia Organa was in trouble , and the two pilots readied their X - wings to mount a rescue . Using coordinates given to him by Kenobi , Skywalker and Prithi departed the fleet to where Organa was . At the given coordinates , the two Rebels discovered Gray Flight surrounding Organa ' s heavily damaged X - wing . However , Imperial forces were inbound , and they had only a short window until their enemies would arrive . As Prithi reached out in the Force to sense when the Imperials would arrive , Skywalker worked to set up a trap for the Imperials . As Organa sealed herself in her wrecked starfighter , Skywalker pulled a proton torpedo from the craft , armed it , and used the Force to push it and several ion engines into the path of the oncoming Imperials . Prithi notified the group moments before the Imperials hyperspace jumped into their location , and Gray Flight fired their torpedoes at the engines and the attached torpedo . The resulting explosion disabled the Imperial ' s Star Destroyers and its TIE Interceptor squadron , allowing Gray Flight to escape . Upon their return to the Rebel fleet , Prithi became aware of how much Skywalker cared for Leia Organa . Seeing him agonize over Organa ' s injuries was all Prithi needed to confirm that he cared more for the Rebel leader than he did for her . She took her bag and departed from Skywalker , ending their relationship . Following the rescue mission , Prithi continued to work with the Alliance and alongside Skywalker to uncover the Imperial spy . Their next mission involved smuggling their way onboard the " Imperial " - class Star Destroyer " Devastator " to slice into Imperial systems and identify the mole in their ranks . To get aboard , Skywalker and Wedge Antilles piloted a YZ - 775 medium transport to Imperial space with Prithi smuggled aboard in her X - wing . Using false transponder codes , Antilles and Skywalker met with the " Devastator " . Prithi detached from their ship as her fellow Rebels were taken aboard , and she attached her ship to " Devastator " with magnets as backup should their mission be compromised . As the mission proceeded , Prithi meditated in her concealed X - wing to conserve oxygen . The mission was extended further than they anticipated , and Prithi ' s R5 astromech droid awoke her from her meditation and informed her that her life support system was running dangerously low . Prithi was unable to get ahold of her fellow Rebels on the comm but continued to try to contact them . Although her astromech droid wished to abandon the mission , Prithi demanded that they stay , even if they had to abandon the security protocols of making several hyperspace jumps before returning to the fleet . However , the time at which oxygen needed to return to the fleet would expire , came and went . Prithi was forced to make her escape from the " Devastator " without Skywalker and Antilles . Upon her return , she was struggling to stay alive . Unconscious , Prithi was cut free from her locked down starfighter by Rebel technicians , but signs of life were not readily apparent , her body cold to the touch . Mon Mothma herself administered chest compressions , and Prithi briefly woke to recognize the Rebel leader . Severely hypoxic , Prithi was given a rebreather and rushed to sick bay . Leaving the Rebellion . It was apparent that Prithi ' s skirting of protocols had given the Empire the chance to follow her ship , and Mothma ordered for the fleet to prepare for attack . Her beliefs were confirmed when " Devastator " arrived , having followed Prithi from her single hyperspace jump . In ensuing battle , Prithi was recuperating in the med bay , but she reached out in the Force to contact Skywalker , who had escaped from " Devastator " . Prithi apologized for having to abandon them , and encouraged Skywalker through the attack . The Rebels were able to ward off the attack , when their commander , Colonel Kell Bircher , was revealed to be a double agent for the Alliance , ordering his entire squadron to surrender to the Rebellion . Although Prithi ' s failures had worked to the Alliance ' s advantage and allowed Bircher to return to the Rebel fleet , she still felt guilty . She resolved to leave the Rebellion and return to her homeworld of Chalacta . Skywalker tried to convince Prithi to stay , claiming that no one blamed her for what had occurred during the mission , but she did not believe him . She claimed that her failings had compromised her reputation and it would be a difficult task to rebuild it . However , she had another reason for leaving . The Force had called out to her again , sending her on a different path . She wanted to explore her Force - sensitivity on one of her planet ' s spiritual refuges , despite the love she still had for flying . Once she had made her decision , Skywalker hugged her goodbye , and she told him that she believed he would do great things in the future . Legacy . During their mission to infiltrate the " Devastator " , Wedge Antilles claimed that he would be including Prithi in the successor to their stealth squadron , a group he would call Rogue Squadron . However , her departure from the Rebellion left her out of the newly formed group . Prithi ' s belief that Skywalker would go on to do great things was proved true , as he became a hero of the Rebellion and was able to revive the Jedi Order . Personality and traits . Prathi was a talented pilot and a valuable supporter of the Rebel Alliance . Her piloting abilities were impressive enough that she was noticed by Alliance command and selected by Leia Organa for a special mission to root out an Imperial spy within the Rebel ranks . During the training exercises for the mission , Prithi became attracted to Luke Skywalker and pursued a relationship with him . However , this attraction would cause her to neglect her sense of professionalism , causing her to be grounded by her commander temporarily . After being brought back into active duty , Prithi ' s affection for Skywalker caused her to risk the location of the Rebel fleet , as she refused to abandon him aboard the " Devastator " . This nearly caused her death , as her life support systems failed during the long wait for her comrades to return from their mission . This oversight forced her to return to the fleet without making the appropriate hyperspace jumps to ward off pursuing vessels , leading the Imperials back to the Rebellion . Her failures during this mission caused her to abandon the Rebellion , believing that her reputation had been damaged by the risks she had taken and how she had endangered the Rebel fleet . Although she still loved being a pilot , she felt that she was destined for a different purpose . Prithi had a minor talent in the Force , which was honed during her time training to become a Chalactan Adept . However , she was unable to concentrate on her studies , believing that she was meant for a different purpose . It was this feeling that caused her abandon her training and join the Rebellion . Prithi used her Force abilities to speak with Skywalker over distances , increasing the bond between them when she discovered his own Force - sensitivity . She was also able to use her abilities to sense danger , and was able to warn her superiors about impending attacks from Imperial soldiers . Following the conclusion of her mission to the " Devastator " , the Force called her to return to her studies , and she abandoned the Rebellion to return to Chalacta and develop her Force - sensitivity .
