In 2011, at the age of 27, Jonathan was recognized for his skill and reassigned to the 69th Fighter Squadron.

Jonathan fought in many important battles throughout the war. He became known across the Alliance for his skills at low level flying, accurate bombing, and dogfighting skills.

During the Battle of Endor, Jonathan was present with the Rebel fleet when it initiated its attack on the Death Star. Jonathan assisted with the destruction of the *Pride of Tarlandia*, and was one of three pilots, along with Wedge Antilles and Lando Calrissian, who destroyed the Death Star II's main reactor, destroying the battlestation. For that action, he was awarded the Jedi Cross.

Jonathan continued to fight throughout the rest of the war, playing a crucial role in both the Battle of Jakku and the Battle of Coruscant. By the time the war ended, Jonathan was one of the most decorated pilots in the Terran Starfleet, and had the highest kill total of any pilot in the Hammer squadron, with 381 kills. His kill total made him one of five starfighter pilots to break the air to air kill record of Erich Hartman, the highest scoring fighter ace in Earth history prior to the Galactic Civil War, and made him the third highest scoring ace of the war, after Captain Paul Moga (United States, 395 kills) and Commander Amir Sharon (Israel, 389 kils), both of whom were pilots from the 352nd Starfighter Wing.

Jonathan continued his service in the Hammer Squadron after the war. In 2023, he officially took command of the Hammer Squadron, and led the Squadron as it fought Imperial remnants over the following years. He continued to wrack up a number of honors over time, as well as kills.

## Biography

### Early Life

Jonathan Page was born to Garret and Sarah Page in the town of Dixon, Missouri. Jonathan grew up in Dixon along with his older sister, Sarah, who he was very close to. In high school, Jonathan was very involved in his school's drama club. He earned his Eagle Scout award at age 16, and was a very popular kid in his high school. He was involved in charity work and community service throughout his years in high school.

At a young age, Jonathan became very interested in the stories coming out of the Clone Wars, as well as stories of his father's military service. When he was 10 years old, after the end of the Clone Wars, he decided he wanted to join the military one day.

### Military Service

#### Training and first assignment

In his senior year of high school, Jonathan decided he wanted to join the Terran Starfleet, and applied to the Terran Alliance Naval Academy, to which he was accepted.

Jonathan begin his education at the Academy in the fall of 2002. Jonathan quickly became known among his fellow students at the Academy as a dedicated student who still loved to make time for his friends. He also helped to organize a drama club at the Academy.

During his sophomore year, Jonathan decided he wanted to pursue a career as a pilot. He applied for a pilot slot and was granted it during his junior year.

Following his graduation from the Academy in 2006, Jonathan proceeded to pilot training. He quickly made a name for himself in training. His instructors remarked many times on how he always seemed to be completely in tune with his aircraft. His skill was so good that he graduated flight training at the top of his class. Following initial training, he chose to become a fighter pilot.

Jonathan finished his training in the summer of 2008, and chose the SF-15 as his fighter. He was assigned to a front line squadron, and quickly made a name for himself. He became very good at dogfighting, precision bombing, and low level flying.

The first few years of Jonathan's service following his training were rather uneventful. His squadron served a tour of duty assisting coalition forces in the War on Terror, and Jonathan performed a number of close air support missions for coalition forces as well as deep strike missions against terrorist targets.

#### The Hammer Squadron

##### Transfer to the squadron

In 2011, Jonathan was approached by Vice Admiral Scott Swift, Commander of Starfighter Operations. Swift had been informed of Jonathan's skill, and had kept track of him over the course of six months. Swift asked Jonathan if he would be willing to accept a transfer to the 69th Fighter Squadron, also known as the Hammer Squadron, the most elite starfighter squadron in the Terran Starfleet.

Jonathan accepted the assignment and was transferred into the squadron in September of 2011. At the time, he was the youngest member of the squadron.

Over the following two years, Jonathan continued to train with the squadron, who accepted him into their ranks like a brother. Jonathan quickly became known as one of the best dogfighters in the squadron, and perfectly knew how to use every one of the SF-15s abilities in a dogfight.

In early 2013, Jonathan met Abigail Peretz, daughter of famed ASAT member Shaul Peretz, when she transferred into the Squadron. Abigail was a relatively new pilot, having served even shorter before transfer into the squadron than Jonathan had, but was very skilled. Wanting to improve her dogfighting skills, Abigail struck up a friendship with Jonathan, and she soon became his regular wingman.

##### Galactic Civil War

In September 2013, with tensions between the Terran Alliance and Galactic Empire at an all time high and war expected, Jonathan and the rest of the Hammer Squadron were deployed to the Andromeda Galaxy aboard the *TAS New York City* just in case war broke out.

On September 22, Jonathan, along with the rest of the Hammer Squadron, the 352nd Starfighter Wing, and 12th Starfighter Squadron were scrambled on request from Admiral Samuel Adams. They arrived in the Yavin system in time to participate in the Battle of Yavin. Jonathan, along with the rest of the squadron, provided support for the Rebel fighters by destroying turbolaser batteries mounted on the Death Star's surface.

After the Battle of Yavin, Jonathan remained aboard the New York City for a number of months. However, on December 7, the New York City, with the Squadron aboard, was part of the fleet that took part in the First Battle of Naboo. Jonathan took part in the battle, helping to destroy a Star Destroyer over the planet before making precision bombing raids against air defenses around the capitol city of Theed.

Following the capture of Naboo, the Squadron was assigned to an airbase built just outside of Theed. From the airbase, the Squadron began launching long-range airstrikes against high value targets across the Empire.

Three weeks after the capture of Naboo, Jonathan and the rest of the Squadron were assigned to carry out a bombing raid on a new TIE Defender factory on Onderon. Jonathan was one of the pilots assigned to destroy the factory itself and bombed the outer wall of the factory before he switched to protect his squadronmates who were assigned to use bunker buster bombs to destroy the underground facilities. As they did, Jonathan and the rest of the Squadron were drawn into a massive dogfight with dozens of TIE fighters. Jonathan was one of the highest scoring pilots of the squadron that day, shooting down 13 TIE fighters, and at one time flying through the ruins of the factory, missing crashing just by feet. Jonathan's 13 kills on that mission made his total so far 15, driving him to a triple ace in one day. For his actions that day, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross

Jonathan remained on Naboo along with the rest of the Squadron for the next few months, continuing their airstrikes across the galaxy. During this time, he added three more kills to his total. His next taste of a major battle came in February of 2014, when the Empire launched a counterattack against Naboo. The Hammer Squadron took part in the defense of the planet. Jonathan shot down 7 TIE fighters and 2 bombers and made two attack runs against the Obliterator, the flagship of Imperial fleet carrying out the attack. He was awarded the Bronze Star for his actions.

Jonathan continued taking part in several air strikes across the galaxy before he saw full fledged combat again when he took part in the Battle of Christophsis. During the battle, Jonathan and his wingman, Abigail, were assigned to eliminate a major armory and a walker depot outside the main city. The two were able to destroy the armory without causing civilian casualties and destroyed almost 20 walkers on the ground. Jonathan also added 8 more TIE fighters to his record.

Jonathan saw combat again in the liberation of Kashyyyk, where he was limited entirely to combat in space. Jonathan had a hand in the destruction of three Star Destroyers throughout the course of the battle, as well as shooting down a dozen TIE fighters. He was awarded his second Bronze Star for his actions over Kashyyyk.
