==Biography==
A young Rebel pilot, Tiree was well noted for participating in a raid on Corellia, where, flying a BTL Y-wing starfighter as Gold Two, he helped save engineers who proved invaluable to the Rebellion.Jedi Knights Trading Card Game 
Later in the Galactic Civil War, during the Battle of Yavin, Tiree flew with the Alliance's Gold Squadron, once again using the call sign Gold Two, and piloting a Y-wing with custom high-power lateral thrusters, allowing the starfighter to better draw and evade enemy fire.
Tiree flew alongside Gold Five Davish "Pops" Krail, providing defensive cover to Gold Leader Jon "Dutch" Vander in the Rebels' first trench run on the Death Star. Tiree followed Vander's order to transfer all power to his Y-wing's front deflector screen as a defense against the space station's turbolaser turrets, which Tiree described as "a little aggressive".Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope novelization Locking his targeting computer and receiving a signal for the coming attack on the Death Star's thermal exhaust port, Tiree observed that the turbolasers had suddenly ceased firing, as three enemy fighters, lead by Darth Vader, entered the trench. Tiree was quickly shot down and killed when Darth Vader's TIE Advanced x1 struck his Y-wings's engines, causing an electrical explosion in the cockpit before his fighter was engulfed in flame.
