Ajai Fel Ajai Fel was the wife of Todr Fel and the mother of Fyric Fel . Her brother - in - law was Baron Soontir Fel , and she lived on the estate Soontir had gained through his barony . Nearly five years after the Battle of Yavin , her son Fyric was kidnapped by Ilir Post as part of an Imperial Intelligence - backed plot to force the Fels to reveal the location of Wynssa Starflare , Soontir Fel ' s wife , as Soontir had defected to the New Republic . Rather than betray her family , Fel and her husband used the Corellian Security Force investigators assigned to the kidnapping case and three Rogue Squadron pilots sent by Wedge Antilles , Starflare ' s brother , to expose Post so that Todr could kill him and rescue Fyric . They accepted the Rogues ' offer to join Soontir in the New Republic , where their family would be safer . Biography . One of the Fels . As a young woman , Ajai married Todr Fel , the younger brother of Imperial fighter ace Soontir Fel . She became part of the Fel family , which was defined by deep loyalty to each other and a sense of duty . Around late 2 ABY , she gave birth to their son , Fyric . In 3 ABY , the Fels moved into far more luxurious conditions when Soontir , who had achieved great fame as an Imperial pilot , was made a Baron of the Empire and given a massive estate on Corellia . All Soontir ' s relatives were moved to the estate , where they lived comfortably . The Fels were joined there by Wynssa Starflare , Soontir ' s wife , and her two children , Chak and Davin . Fel and the rest of her family were trusted with the dangerous knowledge that Starflare had been born Syal Antilles , and was the brother of Rebel Alliance hero Wedge Antilles . For that reason , Starflare had plans to flee if her identity was ever exposed to Ysanne Isard , the Director of Imperial Intelligence and a nemesis of Soontir Fel . Around nine months after the Battle of Endor , Soontir was captured by the New Republic in an engagement over Brentaal IV . Starflare , fearful of Imperial retaliation , took Chak and Davin and went into hiding . Kidnapping . Around ten months after the Battle of Endor , Fyric was kidnapped from the estate . The Fels were given a notice to meet the kidnappers at an alley rendezvous , but resolved to resist . They understood that it was an attempt by Imperial Intelligence to pressure them into disclosing Starflare ' s location , and would not turn on a family member . Corellian Security Force investigators Corran Horn and Iella Wessiri were sent to investigate and began inspecting the estate and interviewing the Fels . Later that day , three strangers came by the estate , claiming to be friends . Before Horn turned them away , Todr was able to deduce that they had been sent by Wedge Antilles , and got the location of their docking bay . The Fels concocted a ploy to find the kidnappers and rescue Fyric . Fel took a hologram of her son , with a tracking device embedded , and went to see the three New Republic pilots . She claimed that the rest of the family refused to betray Starflare to help Fyric . She demanded that they rescue her son , and offered to give up Starflare ' s location for her . They were uneasy with her willingness to turn over Starflare , but as Fel knew that she would be safe in the New Republic , she did not see an issue . They agreed , and Fel gave the three — Isplourrdacartha Estillo , Wes Janson , and Derek Klivian — the location of the meeting that the kidnappers had set up . In the meeting , the New Republic pilots passed the hologram to Ilir Post , the leader of the Imperial Intelligence - backed kidnappers . Todr used the tracking signal to trace Post to his hideout , and when the New Republic pilots , working with Horn and Wessiri , stormed it and drew out Post , Todr shot him and retrieved Fyric . The Rogue Squadron pilots offered all the Fels safe haven in the New Republic , to which Soontir had defected , and Todr came back to the Fel estate to consider it . Fel and her husband decided to take Fyric to safety in the New Republic , and packed up to leave with the Rogues . Their starship came under attack by mercenaries hired by Imperial Intelligence , but timely intervention by Horn allowed the group to leave the system safely . Personality and traits . Ajai Fel was extremely loyal to the rest of the Fels , and was willing to take great risks for them , as when she participated in the dangerous plot to rescue Fyric without giving up her sister - in - law . She remained collected and able to carry out the plan despite her worry over her missing son . Fel was able to convincingly deceive the pilots of Rogue Squadron into believing her a distraught mother when in fact she was manipulating them into aiding her , suggesting she had some talent at dissembling as well . Behind the scenes . The character of Ajai Fel was created by Michael A . Stackpole , who wrote " " , the only source in which Fel appears .
