Kral Nevil Kral Nevil was a male Quarren member of Rogue Squadron . From 25 ABY to 27 ABY , he flew as Rogue Two and Gavin Darklighter ' s wingman . Biography . The Yuuzhan Vong War . Reconnaissance and defense . A Quarren male , Kral Nevil joined the New Republic Starfighter Corps and eventually secured a place in Rogue Squadron , a legendary starfighter squadron . Nevil had a wife and a son , Turl . By 25 ABY , Nevil , who had attained the rank of captain , was flying as Rogue Two alongside Rogue Leader , Colonel Gavin Darklighter . Rogue Squadron had been assigned to the fleet of Bothan Admiral Traest Kre ' fey , who wished to investigate reports of an alien incursion in the Outer Rim Territories in the early months of the year . Nevil , who had the nickname and call sign " Deuce " , was stationed with his fellow pilots were stationed on Kre ' fey ' s flagship , the Bothan Assault Cruiser " Ralroost " . Upon reports of pirate activity in an Outer Rim star system , Darklighter led the Rogues out into space to reconnoiter the situation . Major Inyri Forge soon detected unknown signatures in the system ' s asteroid belt , which were soon confirmed to be Uglies , starfighters cobbled together out of various parts . As Nevil and his fellow pilots engaged the Uglies , it soon became clear that the starships were already heavily damaged . Darklighter made contact with an EF76 Nebulon - B escort frigate which served as the pirates ' base of operations and called for Urias Xhaxin , the captain of the vessel , to order his forces to stand down . As Darklighter negotiated with Xhaxin , Nevil protected his wingmate from a TYE - wing . Xhaxin subsequently surrendered and Nevil observed that significant damage had been incurred by the Nebulon - B escort frigate in an engagement against an unknown foe . Making use of Xhaxin ' s information , Kre ' fey set up a reconnaissance mission to another star system where the pirate captain claimed his forces had been ambushed by the Yuuzhan Vong , an alien species reported to have launched an invasion of the galaxy . Rogue Squadron flew cover for a T - 65R reconnaissance X - wing as it scouted the system . Nevil , Darklighter , and the rest of One flight trailed behind the recon starfighter while Majors Inyri Forge and Alinn Varth fanned out to cover a wider area . Soon , six coralskippers , as the organic Yuuzhan Vong starfighters had been termed , emerged and engaged Rogue Squadron . Against the asteroid - like starfighters , which utilized dovin basal s to create miniature black holes to strip shields off New Republic starfighters and to suck in incoming laser beams , Nevil and his fellow pilots were forced to adopt new tactics . Nevil again aided Darklighter during the brief engagement , scoring several kills against the Yuuzhan Vong pilots while protecting his wingmate . Although Nevil and Darklighter were able to save the life of Rogue Seven , the Krish Ligg Panat , Major Alinn Varth reported following the end of the skirmish that two pilots from her flight , Dinger and Tik , had perished . Rogue Squadron remained in the system until Admiral Kre ' fey arrived with the " Ralroost " . Following the minor engagement , Nevil and Rogue Squadron accompanied Kre ' fey to Dubrillion , where the Yuuzhan Vong were threatening the world as it was evacuated by a convoy of starships from nearby Agamar . Upon the arrival of the Agamarian convoy , the Yuuzhan Vong forces lurking in the system ' s asteroid belt had sent half a dozen coralskippers to engage the relief vessels . Nevil and his fellow pilots fought off the Yuuzhan Vong , who over the next four days settled into a pattern of testing Roque Squadron ' s response time with minor incursions . When the time came for the Agamarian convoy to leave the Dubrillion system , Darklighter led Nevil and the other Rogue Squadron pilots out to form a small cordon between the departing starships and the Yuuzhan Vong . In the subsequent engagement , Rogue Squadron took the fight to a Yuuzhan Vong miid ro ' ik cruiser and inflicted damage upon the capital ship . Eventually , however , the cruiser powered up its dovin basals and created an artificial gravity well which forced the Agamarian convoy to divert to Dantooine . Nevil and his fellow pilots traveled to Dantooine in order to protect the convoy against further Yuuzhan Vong attacks . Dantooine and Ithor . Kral participated in key engagements against the Yuuzhan Vong at Dantooine , Ithor , and Borleias . Second Galactic Civil War . By 40 ABY , Kral had transferred from starfighter operations to the naval forces . He became captain of the " Anakin Solo " and served as the chief aide of Darth Caedus aboard the command ship following the Battle of Kashyyyk . Kral ' s son Turl was killed when the Corellians fired Centerpoint Station on their own fleet in hopes of killing Caedus , something that greatly affected Kral . Caedus tried to express his sympathies to him . Later , when Kral tried to intervene and keep Caedus from killing Lieutenant Patra Tebut after a Jedi led team was able to board and retrieve the Hapan Princess Allana , Caedus responded by throwing Kral against a bulkhead . After killing Tebut , Caedus was unable to determine if Kral ' s expression was one of fear , anger , or acceptance . Caedus decided that he no longer liked either the Mon Calamari or the Quarren . After Darth Caedus murdered Lieutenant Tebut , Nevil met with Admiral Cha Niathal regarding the Sith Lord ' s actions . Niathal was just as appalled over what had happened , and while she very much wanted to have Solo arrested and charged with murder , she knew that the Galactic Alliance Guard would not permit Solo to either be arrested or charged . Nevil remained as Captain of the " Anakin Solo " until the Second Battle of Fondor . When Solo refused an order to cease bombardment of Fondor , Niathal attempted to relieve him of his command , but most of the fleet remained loyal to Solo . Nevil then used an escape pod to leave the " Anakin Solo " , and defected to the faction of the Galactic Alliance loyal to Admiral Niathal . Personality and traits . Nevil was a capable starfighter pilot , who used Quarren idioms and was inquisitive . Nevil also had a good - natured relationship with Darklighter , his squadron leader . Behind the scenes . Kral Nevil was confirmed to have fought during the First Battle of Coruscant during the Yuuzhan Vong War in " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " .
