Delline followed Farlander ' s career as a starfighter pilot closely , and the two eventually began a relationship . Biography . Lynia Delline was born in the years surrounding the fall of the Galactic Republic and grew up during the reign of Emperor Palpatine . She had a brother who became a starfighter pilot and was either injured or killed while flying , some time prior to 0 BBY . However , like much of her early life , Delline rarely spoke of what happened . She joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic at some point before the Battle of Turkana and became an aide to the Alliance ' s Chief of State , Mon Mothma . She would later describe her job as " observing things " for the Rebel leader . In 0 BBY , Delline accompanied Mothma to the Outer Rim planet Agamar aboard the Mon Calamari Star Cruiser " Independence " . On Agamar , Mothma addressed members of the Agamar Resistance , hoping to persuade them to join the Rebel Alliance . After the Chief of State gave her speech , Delline moved among the assembled crowd , distributing copies of the Rebel pamphlet " A Call to Reason " , before assisting the other Rebels present with removing all evidence that the meeting had taken place . One of the Agamarian s , Keyan Farlander , approached her and announced that he had decided to join the Alliance as a starfighter pilot , and Delline made sure he understood the commitment he was making before introducing him to a recruiter . Delline flew back to the " Independence " aboard the same shuttle as Farlander and , worried that the young Rebel would suffer the same fate as her brother , attempted to persuade him to serve the Alliance in a less dangerous way . Farlander , however , was determined to join the Alliance Starfighter Corps , and she respected his decision , wishing him luck before leaving him in the hangar of the " Independence " . Mon Mothma left the " Independence " soon after and Delline accompanied her , only returning to the Alliance flagship toward the end of Operation Strike Fear , a major Imperial offensive against the Rebellion . The day Delline arrived , she learned that Farlander was due to be promoted to captain and attended a small promotion ceremony conducted by Commander Lagrane . After the ceremony , Farlander approached her and the two spoke briefly before Farlander left to attend a party being held by Red Squadron in his honor . Delline declined an invitation to join them , saying she had to get back to work , but gave Farlander a kiss on the cheek when she saw his disappointment . The two were quickly becoming friends and saw each other twice more before Delline ' s duties with Mothma took her off the ship once more . She returned to the " Independence " again while the Alliance searched for information on a new Imperial weapon . There , she attended an Alliance High Command meeting with Mothma , Admiral Gial Ackbar , General Jan Dodonna and General Crix Madine , during which the group planned an operation to steal some Imperial communications satellite s and use them to eavesdrop on Imperial transmissions in the Cron Drift . Farlander was waiting for Delline as she left the meeting , and the two conversed with Mothma before dining together in the ship ' s executive dining room . Delline ' s duties took her off the " Independence " the next day but , after the Battle of Yavin , she promised to spend more time with Farlander . Personality and traits . Delline was an attractive half - Human woman with what Farlander described as a " dazzling smile " and lavender eyes that seemed to change color from different angles , yet conveyed a serious look . She was a private individual , who spoke little of her early life and what had happened to her brother . She did describe her ancestors as a little different , which had resulted in her having some unusual abilities . After meeting Farlander , she kept their meetings short and would not let them get too personal , even though there was a mutual attraction between them and she followed his career with interest when away from the " Independence " . Though she was generally unflappable , her professional shell could be broken , such as when she blushed after Mon Mothma once commented on her attraction to Farlander in front of the pilot . Delline was loyal to the Rebellion and had a great respect for Mothma ' s opinion . Behind the scenes . Lynia Delline was created by Rusel DeMaria and first appeared in " The Farlander Papers " , a novella that accompanied the LucasArts video game " " , and introduced the player character Keyan Farlander . Delline was unnamed in " The Farlander Papers " but reappeared in the narrative sections of DeMaria ' s " " , which expanded on the events of the previous book and in which she served as Farlander ' s love interest . Delline ' s history is left mysterious in the book , with just a couple of references to her past . The book ' s glossary states that she is half - Human , but the nature of her mixed ancestry is not explored and neither are the unusual abilities she inherited from her ancestors .
