Arvel Crynyd

Arvel Crynyd was the leader of the A-Wing starfighter Squadron, Green Squadron. Considered one of the best pilots in the Rebel Alliance he and his squadron were placed with Admiral Ackbar's Home One. During the Battle of Endor in 7 ABY, Crynyd led his squadron into the fleet of Star Destroyers with the objective of disabling their ion cannons, thereby allowing the Alliance Fleet through to the Star Dreadnought Executor. At the climax of the battle, he was leading a strafing run of key locations on the Executor when point defence fire struck his A-wing, sending it into a spin. Knowing that his fighter was critically damaged, Crynyd managed to regain enough control of his starfighter to send it into the unshielded bridge of Executor. The wedge shaped fighter penetrated the bridge and its large fuel reserve ignited in a huge fireball that annihilated the command tower, killing Crynyd, Admiral Piett and the entire bridge crew instantly. With control lost, and in the middle of a battle maneuver, the mighty warship crashed into the second Death Star, thus turning the tide of the battle.
