## Biography

### Early Life

**Zev Senesca** was born and raised at Kestic Station, a trader outpost on the fringes of an Bestine system, a stopover point for an free traders with no affiliation especially to the Galactic Empire, Zev Senesca became familiar and skilled in an life as an Trader and also as an pilot. His parents were individuals of high ideals known for trading at virtually any sort of good and in their later years, began running arms for an fledgling Rebel Alliance. Though equipping Rebels was illegal and could then be punished by death, both of his parents felt what they were doing was the right thing and wanted to instill similar morality in their own son. Growing up within such an free environment and surrounded by those with an strong ethic values, he was a ideal candidate for an rebel recruit. Both parents motivated him to leave and take up arms with rebels, which he soon did.

### Alliance Service

Under his parents, Kestic soon became a vital link in an Rebel Alliance's supply chain. However, rebel supply lines were traced back to the station. A Star Destroyer, on a tip from a informant, arrived and, without stopping to take prisoners or ask questions, destroyed the station. All aboard died, including Senesca's parents. his response to this tragedy was not grief, but anger. Zev blamed the rebels for the destruction of the Kestic Station, and for the death of his parents. And so, after no more than a year of fighting for the rebellion, he left the Alliance and headed for deep space and a life as a free-trader. It wasn't long until Zev Senesca learned the shocking truth about what happened. The 'friend' he had confided in concerning Kestic's rebels involvement was the informant who'd revealed the station ties to the Empire. He had trusted this 'friend', and the leak in security of the supply line was Senesca's fault. This realization gave him a newfound attitude toward rebels, and he came to accept his responsibility. It wasn't long after that he rejoined the Rebels to fight a Empire.

Senesca's second stint with the rebellion saw him become known as a worthy Starfighter pilot. During an evacuation of the rebels base at Alis Point, Senesca single-handedly held off three TIE/LN Starfighters, while a unarmed transport fled into hyperspace, an action that helped earn this Pilot a place in Commander Narra's newly formed Rogue Squadron. As a member of the nascent Rogue Squadron, Zev Senesca flew under an call sign Rogue Two. He was the oldest member of their squadron throughout his service with them, and stayed pretty much to himself. Around six months after Battle of Yavin, he had fought with the Rogues in several campaigns, including an defending grounded members in Rogue Group from TIE Fighters on an uncharted world, and the raid of Empire tibanna gas facilities above Taloraan, the destruction of weapons research Facility on Fest, and the protection of bacta facilities on the planet of Thyferra. Along with the rest of their Rogue Squadron, Senesca was assigned to newly formed Echo Base at planet Hoth to protect Alliance Command.

#### Stationed at Echo Base

When Luke Skywalker failed to return from a routine scouting mission, Han Solo then had went out to locate his missing friend. Neither did return before nightfall, when Echo base's shield doors had to be closed to protect that base from that world's brutal icy winds. At daybreak, Zev was part of a T-47 airspeeder patrol sent out to locate them. Zev successfully found Luke and Han stranded amid the snow, having survived the overnight blizzard. When the Empire found Echo base and launched a massive ground assault soon thereafter, Senesca once again manned a airspeeder and flew with Rebels Rogue squadron to hold off an invasion in order for that base's troop transports to evacuate. He did manage to maintain control of the craft through most of the battle despite being hit by several laser barrages by Empire AT-AT walkers. Later in their battle, he'd formed up with Skywalker on the approach of the Imperial line, ordered to try and bring down one of the walkers with their speeder's harpoon and tow cable, an trick which pilot Antilles had successfully employed to bring down one of the walkers earlier. As his gunner, prepared an tow cable, his speeder suffered several hits from the walkers and Zev was killed along with his gunner. During his time with the Rebellion, he was distinguished for actions in combat.
