Biography . The human female Tana Chellaine served the Galactic Empire as a pilot during the Galactic Civil War against the Alliance to Restore the Republic . During the war , Chellaine flew a TIE / ln space superiority starfighter in Nashtah Squadron , a squadron of pilots in the Imperial Army who flew missions within planet ary atmospheres . Around the time of the Battle of Yavin , she and her squadron were sent to the planet Portocari where they were sent to bomb Rebel artillery in the planet ' s hills before being reassigned to bomb an urban safehouse , which the squad were told would prevent the need for door - door fighting and civilian casualties . During the ensuing battle , Chellaine ' s squadmate Muller was shot down by an anti - aircraft missile , while another named Barsay was killed by Z - 95 Headhunter s . Upon bombing the safehouse , the squadron discovered it was full of munitions , which exploded and killed two more of Chellaine ' s comrades , Chang and Riggs . After the battle , the surviving members of the squadron traveled to the Bright Jewel Oversector Flight Base on the moon Axxila III . There , Muller was taken to be treated in bacta while Chellaine and the other surviving members of her squadron ( Sully Olvar , Huck Trompo , Artur Essada and Sax Hastur ) where debriefed . The group five then met for drinks in the Zero Angle , a bar in the flight base . After becoming intoxicated , Trompo began singing a ground - hog anthem in an attempt to antagonize a group of Imperial Navy pilots also in the bar . Chellaine warned her squadmate to stop , as the singing had drawn the attention of Florn , the bar ' s bartender , but Trombo continued and was joined by Olvar . Hastur then interrupted the pair and forced them to sit down . Essada tried to discuss the events on Portocari with the group , but Hastur shot down the topic of discussion and Trombo began singing again , this time successfully rallying other Army pilots in the bar to join in . The Zero Angle ' s navy patrons quickly retaliated with their own anthem , and a fight quickly broke out between the two groups . Chellaine stayed out of the brawl , but when a navy pilot stumbled into her and caused some of her drink to fly in the air , she was able to catch the water back in her cup and then kick the navy pilot back into the fight . Chellaine then spotted Lightning , Florn ' s astromech droid coming out from behind the bar and warned her colleagues before covering her ear s , as to not be affected by the sonic emitter the droid used to disrupt the bar fight . Florn then had the droid shock Trompo before giving a speech to his patrons telling them not to fight each other . The bartender ' s talk drew Chellaine ' s attention to the gallery of hologram s above the bar depicting pilots who had died in combat . She pointed out Suthers and Plix to her squadmates , who then began talking with Heiwei Akrone , a navy pilot who had mutual friends on the wall with Hastur . Florn then told the Nashtahs and Akrone ' s squad , Banshee Squadron to sit together since a table had been broken in the fight . The groups grudgingly obliged and Akrone and Hastur ordered all of the pilots a round of drinks . The two squadrons began discussing their most recent missions and the casualties they had taken , with Essada claiming something major had happened which had put the Empire on the offensive , leading to missions with low quality intel and causing casualties like those suffered on Portocari . Akrone and his squadmate Bruiser confirmed they had heard similar reports , before Imperial Commander Weller entered the bar and greeted Florn . He then informed the room that the Death Star had been destroyed by the Rebellion , meaning the fleet was on full alert and the army or navy affiliation of all pilots in the bar was rescinded immediately , ordering them to the quarters for assignment to new squadrons . Before Chellaine left , she spoke with Florn about the many casualties the aftermath of the Death Star ' s destruction would cause . Personality and traits . Tana Chellaine had dark skin , brown eye s and black hair . She never drank anything stronger than distilled water , and as a result was able to keep her uniform immaculate while at the Zero Angle . She was able to judge how long the bar ' s other occupants had been drinking based on the states of their tunics . When she believed Huck Trombo was about to pass out after drinking to much alcohol , Chellaine could not decide if she should stop him falling or not , but decided she would not have when he claimed the Navy pilots would of enjoyed his singing . Chellaine believed Essada was right annoyingly often . She assumed that the Death Star was a codename for a coordinated fire - control technology to be used among fleet units , and was shocked to learn that it had been destroyed . Equipment . Chellaine wore an olive - green tunic when off - duty at the Zero Angle . Behind the scenes .
