Biography . A Human male born during the final years of the Galactic Republic , Darnell Reggs became a BTL Y - wing starfighter pilot in the Alliance to Restore the Republic during its war against the Galactic Empire . Reggs flew under the command of Admiral Krane , a hardened officer who believed the Empire could only be defeated by a precision fighting force and who gave little leeway to his subordinates . Following the Battle of Hoth in 3 ABY , by which time Reggs was in his late twenties , the Rebel YT - 1300 light freighter " Corellia Star " was recovered by Rebel pilot Rookie One after it was captured by the Empire . In the ship ' s mission recordings , the " Corellia Star " captain revealed that the Empire was processing oridium ore at a facility in the Belt of Arah to fuel some new weapon that the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader intended to use to destroy the Alliance . Reggs was among the pilots who attended a briefing by Admiral Gial Ackbar aboard a Nebulon - B escort frigate in the Alliance Fleet , during which the admiral ordered a search of the Belt of Arah and the destruction of the facility ' s production capacity . Rebel fighters from Rascal Squadron eventually destroyed the Arah mining facility and discovered that the Empire ' s new weapon was a group of modified V38 assault fighter s that had been fitted with cloaking devices that rendered them effectively invisible . Soon after , Reggs again attended a briefing held by Ackbar . Intelligence reports indicated a high level of Imperial Navy activity near the planet Imdaar , in the Dantus sector of the Outer Rim Territories , and that the " Executor " - class Star Dreadnought " Terror " was en route to deploy a full wing of the new TIE Phantoms . Rookie One had volunteered to infiltrate the " Terror " and steal one of the new fighters to be studied in the hopes of finding a countermeasure . Reggs and Krane were assigned to escort Rookie One on his way to Imdaar in a three - ship flight group of Y - wings . On the way , they encountered over a dozen Imperial TIE / IN interceptors . Despite being heavily outnumbered , the three Rebels were able to eliminate all the Imperials before Reggs and Krane departed , leaving Rookie One to proceed alone to Ceti 597 and the final approach to Imdaar . Personality and traits . Reggs was a competent Y - wing pilot who served under the demanding Admiral Krane .
