Vult Skerris

Vult Skerris was a human male combat pilot who served in the Navy of the Galactic Empire during its reign. As an elite starfighter pilot, he flew a TIE Interceptor decorated with red markings, and wore a TIE pilot flight suit featuring by yellow stripes. Stationed at Skystrike Academy, Skerris trained TIE pilot cadets as a flight instructor. In 2 BBY, he engaged rebel forces near the planet Teralov and destroyed a transport delivering supplies to civilians and its escorts.
In the same year, Skerris dealt with Skystrike cadets Wedge Antilles and Derek Klivian attempting to defect to the Rebellion, led by Mandalorian rebel Sabine Wren, but ultimately failed to prevent their escape. Sometime later, Skerris was placed in Grand Admiral Thrawn's Seventh Fleet, promoted to Commander, and personally selected by the Grand Admiral to fly a TIE Defender to pursue the fugitive Senator Mon Mothma of Chandrila into the Archeon Nebula. During the pursuit, Skerris shot down multiple Y-wings escorting Mothma, who was aboard the Ghost. The rebels escaped after Skerris' fighter was struck by an ion cannon, causing it to drift through the nebula aimlessly. 
Upon his recovery, Skerris was placed as the leader of Defender Squadron One, and led the unit in engaging the Yuuzhan Vong while Thrawn and the Sith Lord Darth Vader completed their mission on Batuu and Mokivj. The pilot was later selected to fly a new prototype fighter, the TIE/D Defender Elite, on Lothal. Skerris' chance to demonstrate its capabilities was averted. however, when the ship was stolen by Wren and fellow rebel Ezra Bridger, though Thrawn allowed them to test its prowess, before authorizing its destruction, satisfied with the results.
In 1 BBY, Skerris participated in the defense of the Imperial blockade in the Lothal system against a Rebel starfighter squadron led by General Hera Syndulla. He ultimately died when Syndulla lured him into a trap that involved disabling his Defender's shields and allowed her to shoot him down, consequently crashing into an Arquitens-class command cruiser that toppled onto an Imperial I-class Star Destroyer.
