Tallissan Lintra Tallissan Lintra , nicknamed " Tallie , " was a human female pilot who served as a lieutenant and squadron commander in the Resistance . Before joining the Resistance , she lived on a farm with her father on Pippip 3 . During the war against the First Order she piloted an RZ - 2 A - wing starfighter , serving as Blue Leader during the evacuation of D ' Qar until her demise at the hands of missile s fired by Kylo Ren ' s TIE Silencer , taking out the rest of the Resistance Starfighter Corps alongside her . Biography . Joining the Resistance . Tallissan Lintra was born in 12 ABY long after the dark days of the Galactic Empire . During her early life she and her father lived on a farm on Pippip 3 , where she learned how to fly using her father ' s crop duster RZ - 1 A - wing . In 28 ABY , Prince ss Leia Organa created the Resistance , a small military force created to oppose the First Order . By 34 ABY , Lintra had joined the Resistance , becoming a lieutenant and one of their most capable pilots , impressing even Poe Dameron with her piloting skills . In 34 ABY , the Resistance learned that pirates armed by the First Order had started to raid the star system s in the Cassander sector . In response to the threat of the sector being taken by the First Order , the Resistance sent Lintra and her A - wing squadron as well as bombers from Cobalt and Crimson Squadron to the sector . The Resistance ' s first target in the sector was to destroy a pirate controlled spaceport on Mamkoda , Lintra and her squadron were assigned to protect the bomber s while they made their attack run on the spaceport . During the battle , Lintra and her squadron encountered heavy resistance from the pirates , but the Resistance bombers were able to destroy their target . Three days after the mission on Mamkoda , Lintra and the Resistance forces undertook a relief mission to Caraxl . While the bombers started to deliver the supplies , Lintra reported to the bombers that First Order TIE fighters were on an intercept course to their position . As their orders were to avoid confrontation with First Order vessels , the mission was aborted and they headed back to the " Free Virgillia " - class Bunkerbuster " Ninka " . After returning they learned that the pirates ' base was located on Sheh Soahi , with the information Resistance forces were able to destroy the base and get proof of the First Order alliance with the pirates . Evacuation of D ' Qar . After the destruction of Starkiller Base , ships from the Resistance fleet arrived at D ' Qar with new complements of starfighter s and joined the remaining forces stationed on the planet while the Resistance ' s forces started to evacuate the base . During the evacuation Dameron designed a semi - improvised plan to destroy a " Mandator " IV - class Siege Dreadnought after receiving the schematics from Inferno Squad . As part of the plan squadron commander Lintra , piloting an RZ - 2 A - wing starfighter and assuming the leadership of Blue Squadron , was tasked to command the Resistance starfighter forces and escort the bombers to their target . After the First Order fleet arrived at D ' Qar , Lintra and the fighters started their approach to the dreadnought after Commander Dameron had destroyed all the turbolaser s on the " Fulminatrix " s surface . While they started to get closer to the dreadnought Lintra ordered the bombers to stay in formation and joked with her wingmate Stomeroni Starck to not get drawn into dogfights . During their approach Teene spotted several TIE fighters closing in formation , Lintra compared their formation to dire hound s loose among whellay s back home on Pippip 3 . Once the TIE Fighters got close enough the Resistance fighters engaged in combat trying to clear a path for the bombers , after reaching the dreadnought Lintra ordered the bombardier s to start their dropping sequence on the ship , however the majority of the bombers were destroyed after one spiraling TIE cockpit detonated the proton bomb s in one of the bombers . The only bomber left managed to drop its explosives destroying the dreadnought . As the dreadnought exploded Lintra and the surviving fighters returned to the " Raddus " and jumped into hyperspace . After fleeing from D ' Qar , the Resistance fleet dropped out of hyperspace in the remote Oetchi system . Unknown to the Resistance , the First Order had tracked them through hyperspace and began an attack on their fleet . Lintra , whilst sleep ing , had a dream where she had to protect the bombers , but she couldn ' t see them but instead could only locate them by the screams of their pilots as they died . After being woken up by a klaxon in the " Raddus " ready room , Lintra and Starck confused looked at the holotank and realized that the First Order fleet had followed them . After putting on her boot s and her flight vest Lintra made her way to the hangar . In the hangar Lintra and the rest of the fighters started up their ships in order to engage the First Order , but before they could take off , Kylo Ren piloting his TIE silencer fired a pair of missile s into the hangar killing Lintra , along with the rest of the starfighters . Personality and traits . Tallissan Lintra was a human female who had light skin , brown eye s and blonde hair . As a pilot she proved to be one of the most capable in the Resistance , impressing Poe Dameron with her skills . Lintra had a good relationship and often joked with her wingmate Stomeroni Starck . Equipment . Lintra wore a standard green Resistance pilot uniform that included a FreiTek life support unit attached to her vest and a Guidenhauser ejection harness , additionally she wore a synthsilk scarf that her father gifted her . Lintra ' s red and white flight helmet had the letters " DA " wrote in aurebesh on it , which stood for " Deadly Approach " a punch - line to a well - known pilots ' joke .
