Garn Stewer

Garn Stewer was a human male who acted as chief technician of the starship maintenance crew in the Alliance to Restore the Republic's base on the moon Yavin 4. His team maintained the Alliance's T-65 X-wing starfighters, BTL-A4 Y-wing assault starfighter/bombers, and UT-60D U-wing starfighter/support crafts, and Stewer made sure there was a symbiotic relationship between the rebel pilots and ground crew in the base. The chief would often implore the pilots with exhausted futility to not damage "his" starfighters; however, these complaints masked a good humor shared between Stewer and his crew and the pilots.
In the year 0 BBY, he was present in the base's hangar when the criminal Jyn Erso was brought in to take part in Operation Fracture.

He was working on disgraced pilot's Ibti Myrak's T-65B X-wing starfighter when she tried to board it in an emergency. The pilot got into a verbal altercation with Admiral Gial Ackbar, and Stewer intervened. However, Myrak threw him off and left in her ship. Stewer then informed the admiral that she had jumped to hyperspace to save Rogue Squadron during the ambush in the Valo system. When they returned, Stewer helped arrest double agent Lyle Kullan.
At one point, the chief sired a child, named Garn Stewer, Jr. who served as an A-wing pilot for the Resistance.
