Jarek Yeager's daughter

A human female was the daughter of the racer Jarek Yeager and his wife. The daughter was killed around 20 ABY, along with the mother, in an accident during a racing event in which their father participated. The daughter's uncle and Yeager's brother, Marcus Speedstar, was also participating in the race and had crashed his racer due to recklessly spiking his racer with coaxium hyperfuel. Yeager held his brother responsible for the deaths of his daughter and wife. The resulting feud between them lasted for many years, until Speedstar tracked down Yeager on the planet Castilon in 34 ABY and Yeager accepted his apology.
==Biography==
===Early life===
A human female was the daughter of the racer Jarek Yeager and his wife. At some point, the daughter was photographed with both parents on the planetStar Wars Encyclopedia: The Comprehensive Guide to the Star Wars Galaxy Batuu. Yeager, a former pilot in the New Republic Defense Fleet, left the military following its downsizing and became a racer to earn a living for his wife and daughter.
Around 20 ABY, the daughter and their mother attended a race that both Yeager and his brother Marcus Speedstar were participating in. In an attempt to beat his older brother, Speedstar used heavy amounts of volatile coaxium to fuel his racer. During the race, the coaxium-fueled ship combusted and crashed, killing Yeager's daughter and wife in the process. This incident led to Yeager and Speedstar becoming estranged for over ten years, as Yeager held Speedstar responsible for the accident and Speedstar initially refused to apologize.
===Legacy===
Yeager kept the photograph of the family on Batuu in his repair station onboard the Colossus refeuling station. During his time on the Colossus, Yeager came to care for the mechanic Tamara Ryvora, who was part of his team, and came to think of Ryvora as almost like a daughter.
After sneaking into Yeager's station in 34 ABY, the Resistance operative Kazuda Xiono, who was working for Yeager, discovered the photo of Yeager with his wife and daughter. Xiono was interested by the photo, as he had not known about Yeager's family. Later that year, when Speedstar arrived on the Colossus to participate in the Platform Classic and attempt to reconnect with his brother, Yeager continued to shun Speedstar, having not forgiven him for his role in his daughter's death. Having witnessed the sibling feud, Xiono spoke with Speedstar and learned about the tragedy. Yeager would eventually enter the race to compete with Speedstar, and during the race, Speedstar admitted that he had been too ashamed to apologize following the accident and pleaded with Yeager to forgive him, telling his brother that he had been searching for him and wanting his chance to say that he was sorry. Yeager decided to accept the apology, and after the race, the two brothers hugged, and when Speedstar asked if they were good, Yeager said that they would be one day soon.
Later that year, Yeager's former colleague, the pilot Venisa Doza, was captured by the First Order. During her time aboard the Star Destroyer Thunderer, Doza met Ryvora, who had since left the Colossus to become a First Order TIE fighter pilot following a falling-out with Yeager. As Doza learned of Ryvora's circumstances while using her as a hostage during her escape, she told her that even if she did realize it, that Yeager missed her and thought of her as like a daughter, finishing by saying that Yeager was in enough pain from losing his actual daughter.
==Personality and traits==
Yeager's daughter had dark skin, black hair, and brown eyes.
==Equipment==
During the family's trip to Batuu, the daughter wore yellow overalls, white shoes, a white top, and bracelets on both arms.
==Behind the scenes==
Jarek Yeager's daughter first appeared in a photograph in "Fuel for the Fire," the fourth episode of the first season of the animated series Star Wars Resistance, which aired on October 21, 2018. The photo of the family was created by artist Kilian Plunkett.
Resistance head writer and executive producer Brandon Auman asserted that Yeager was more protective of those he cared about on the Colossus due to the loss of his family, including his daughter. He felt that Yeager took on the role of a father figure for Ryvora and believed that Yeager was hesitant to let her fly due to knowing the risks associated with racing.
