Alana Jaxx

United Republic (formerly)

Alana Jaxx was a member and one of the founders of Blade Squadron during the Imperial Reformation. Her best friend Ben Hunter helped her create the elite squadron after a series of battles that they survived with a handful of other pilots. Alana would participate in hundreds of battles, most notably the battle of Bakura, Byss, the assault on Coruscant, the battle of Obra-Skai, and the battle of the Darksaber. Before the battle of the Darksaber, Alana and Ben shared their true feelings and became romantically involved. After the battle, Ben went to become a Jedi Knight, but still stayed with Alana as a couple.

## Biography

### Growing Up On Onderon

Alana and her little sister Lisa lived happily on Onderon with their family in Iziz. The two developed a fascination with star ships when watching ships come and go through Iziz spaceport. When Alana was old enough, she joined the Onderon flight academy and became a well-rounded pilot, flying starfighters and cargo freighters.

When Alana was of age, she joined up with the United Republic to become a X-Wing pilot. She met and became good friends with Ben Hunter after they were assigned to same fighter squadron.

### Joining Blade Squadron

When the Dark Empire emerged and attacked the Republic, Alana and Ben became seasoned pilots and some of the best the Republic had seen. Alana and Ben had the idea to create an elite fighter squadron for only the best pilots and they named it Blade Squadron. The squadron fought in many hard fought battles and became well known across the galaxy throughout the early days of the war. The squadron suffered major casualties during the battle of Bakura and Byss, leaving only Alana and Ben left. Blade Squadron was quickly disbanded by the Republic council (now called the Galactic Alliance) because of the lost lives and fear struck into the senate when hearing Blade Squadron's name.

### Blade Squadron's Return

Blade Squadron was reformed after the council gave permission to Ben and Alana. The two recruited ten new pilots to join on Commenor where they would train for the assault on Coruscant through the Permilian Trade Route. Blade Squadron fought along the route battling Captain Kriell's secret fleet, losing three pilots in the process. Alana almost died during the battle of Brentaal, but her sister Lisa (who was now on Blade Squadron) saved her life in the battle. Once Kriell was forced to retreat and Coruscant was taken, Blade Squadron became legendary for their efforts and Alana continued to serve with the squadron for what was next to come.

### The Darksaber Project

A few months after Coruscant, Alana and Blade Squadron were deployed once more after Imperial forces were attacking Alliance outposts in the Outer Rim after spies picked up information on a secret Imperial project. During a rescue mission to Mykrr, Blade Squadron found the coordinates to the construction site of new Imperial dreadnought being produced in Darkstar Alignment space. The squadron was ambushed by new TIE Hunter models where Alana's sister Lisa and Andres were captured. Alana was worried heavily for her sister, but she was comforted by Ben when they returned to Alliance space. When Blade Squadron found the whereabouts of where the TIE factory was located, the fleet jumped to Obra-Skai to attack the facility and rescue Andres and Lisa. During the fight, Ben was able to infiltrate with the help of a Jedi Knight named Shahna. They were able to rescue their two fellow squadmates and sabotage the installation from the inside, destroying the TIE Hunters for good. Alana was very thankful to Ben for his heroics during the battle.

### Kriell's Last Stand

On the Alliance outpost on Orion IV, The Darkstar Alignment attacked the base there with new cloaking technology, completely scattering and demolishing the Alliance forced there. In the confusion and counter-attack, Lisa was killed in battle above the base, which left Alana devastated and forced into deep depression. Alana was able to evacuate with the rest of Blade Squadron, although Ben and Shahna were separated and boarded an Imperial ship in di

sguise. Blade Squadron tried to comfort Alana, but she felt that Ben was a better comforter, since she was now feeling romantic feelings towards him. Alana was set on destroying Kriell after the death of her sister and took part in the several battles that would lead the Alliance to location of Kriell and the Darksaber. During a skirmish above the planet, Dubrillion, Ben and Shahna managed to escape and return with information on the location of Darkstar Alignment stronghold where Kriell and his fleet was located. The Alliance fleet began to make their move on the planet, and while in hyperspace, Alana and Ben shared their feelings and shared a kiss on the *Defiance* before they were deployed into battle.

The battle of Bastion was a brutal one, but Blade Squadron were able to pull through and outsmart Kriell. Using the assistance of codes that Ben and Shahna stole from Kriell's fleet and ground forces sabotaging the Ion Cannon on Bastion, Blade Squadron was able to take down the Darksaber with Kriell on it, crashing it into the planet's surface. The battle was won after the rest of Kriell's forces retreated out into hyperspace. Alana and Ben continued their new romantic relationship after Blade Squadron was given a long break for their immense efforts in taking down Kriell's fleet at Bastion.
