Kashara
She is a young Twi'lek pilot training to join the Rebel Alliance. She is determined, impulsive, and brave. Kashara grew up on Ryloth, surrounded by poverty and hardship. She dreamed of adventure beyond her desert planet and became enthralled with piloting. Her mentor, Wedge Antilles, pushed her to excel. Despite losing her family's hover droid, she persevered. Kashara's fierce spirit and natural talent earned her a spot in the Rebel pilots' corps, ready to defy the Empire.
C3PO
He is a protocol droid who serves both the Rebel Alliance and Lando Calrissian. He is witty, cautious, and fluent in countless languages. C3PO often navigates tense situations with his sarcastic remarks and translates for others when needed. His small stature belies his significant value; he acts as a bridge between cultures; facilitating communication between humans, Wookies, and other species within the galaxy. His presence brings levity and assurance in times of uncertainty.
Chewbacca
He is Lando Calrissian's loyal companion and copilot of the Millennium Falcon. He is strong, intuitive, and protective. Chewie's bond with Lando is unbreakable, often sensing his emotions and assisting him in decisions. Though not typically interactive with others, they share a deep connection with C3PO and Lando's wife, indicating a capacity for deepening relationships beyond their duo. His presence on board significantly influences decisions and operations within the Rebel Alliance.
When I was a kid growing up on Ryloth, I never dreamed I'd become a pilot.
Not that I didn't want to.
Flying was pretty much all I wanted to do.
But on a poverty-stricken planet like Ryloth, where even getting food on the table is a daily struggle, becoming a pilot is just about the last thing you're ever going to do.
So I did the next best thing.
I watched every vid I could find about pilots and flying, studied every ship from the tiniest speeder to the largest galaxy liner, and practiced my flight skills on every sim and game I could find.
And then when I turned sixteen and joined the Rebel Alliance, I was given a real chance to learn how to fly.
It was everything I had dreamed it would be and more.
My flight instructor was Wedge Antilles himself.
Talk about learning from the best!
Wedge was patient with me at first, but as soon as he saw what I could do, he pushed me hard.
Really hard.
Sometimes harder than I thought I could go.
But he knew exactly what he was doing and exactly what I could do, even when I didn't know myself.
He taught me how to handle an X-wing, a Y-wing, and even an A-wing.
After another long day of training, I'm hanging out in the hangar bay, helping Wedge run maintenance checks on the X-wing simulators.
My muscles ache from a day spent doing exercises and running drills, but my curiosity is stronger than my fatigue.
I hand him tools as he asks for them, watching as he works his magic on the complex systems.
Finally, I work up the courage to ask him about his most dangerous mission.
He pauses, the hydrospanner frozen mid-turn.
His shoulders tense ever so slightly, and I wonder if I've overstepped a boundary.
But then he sets down his tool and sits on a nearby supply crate.
His grease-stained hands clasp together between his knees, and his eyes fix on some point across the hangar bay.
The usual bustle of activity in the bay fades into the background as he stares at something only he can see.
"Do you remember the Battle of Yavin?" he asks, his voice barely above a whisper.
"Of course," I reply, feeling a chill run down my spine. "You were the one who led the attack on the Death Star."
He nods slowly, his gaze still distant. "But what most people don't know is that I almost didn't make it out."
He leans back against the cold metal frame of the simulator, and for a moment, I see a glimmer of something in his eyes that I've never seen before.
It's not fear, exactly, but something close to it.
A deep-seated respect for the power of the enemy.
"I was flying with my squadron, Red Squadron," he continues, his voice growing hoarse.
"We were tasked with taking out the Death Star's defenses. It was a tough mission, but we had some of the best pilots in the galaxy."
His eyes narrow slightly as he recalls the events of that day.
"I remember seeing one of my squadron members get taken out by a TIE fighter. He just vanished in a ball of flame. It was...terrifying."
I can feel the tension in his body as he relives that moment.
His usual confident posture has slumped, and his voice has dropped to a whisper.
The dim lighting of the hangar bay casts long shadows across his face, accentuating the lines and scars that I never noticed before.
"And then there was Darth Vader," he says, his voice barely audible.
"He was flying an advanced TIE fighter, and he was...he was unstoppable. I've never seen anyone fly like that before or since." I can see the sweat beading on his forehead as he recounts the encounter with Vader.
His hands clench into fists as he describes how close he came to being shot down by the Dark Lord himself.
"It was...it was like nothing I've ever experienced before," he says, his voice cracking with emotion.
"I thought for sure I was dead. But somehow, I managed to evade him long enough to get back to the Rebel base."
He pauses again, taking a deep breath before continuing.
"But I didn't come out unscathed. I lost my best friend that day."
He looks down at his hands, which are shaking slightly as he adjusts a loose panel on the simulator.
I reach out without thinking and place my hand on his shoulder, steadying him.
He leans back against the metal frame of the simulator, his shoulders slumping.
His eyes drop to the floor, staring at some invisible point on the hangar bay's deck.
The distant hum of maintenance droids and the occasional shout from a nearby technician fill the silence between us.
After a moment, he pulls out a small holocube from his flight suit pocket and activates it.
A holographic image flickers to life in front of us, depicting a young pilot standing proudly beside an X-wing.
The pilot is grinning from ear to ear, and there's something about his expression that reminds me of myself when I first joined the Rebel Alliance.
"That's Biggs Darklighter," Wedge says, his finger tracing the outline of the hologram.
"Best damn pilot I knew besides Luke."
His voice cracks slightly as he speaks.
"We grew up together on Tatooine. He was like a brother to me."
He pauses, collecting his thoughts before continuing.
"We were on our last mission together, trying to take out the Death Star. Biggs covered Luke's approach to the thermal port. He took a direct hit from Vader himself."
The holocube flickers slightly, as if sensing Wedge's emotions.
He quickly turns it off and tucks it back into his pocket, straightening his posture as if trying to regain his composure. "That's why I push you so hard in training," he says firmly, his voice steady once more.
The hangar falls silent except for the distant hum of machinery and the occasional clank of tools being dropped.
I stand there, processing Wedge's story, seeing him in a new light.
He's not just my demanding instructor; he's a man who has seen the worst of war and carries the scars with him every day.
My fingers absently trace the cold metal surface of the simulator, imagining Biggs sitting in this very same cockpit, training for his fateful mission.
When I finally speak, my voice comes out stronger than I expect.
"I won't let his sacrifice be forgotten," I say, meeting Wedge's gaze.
He studies me for a long moment, as if sizing me up.
Then he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small piece of fabric.
It's a pilot's patch, worn and frayed at the edges.
It's scorched in places, as if it had been exposed to intense heat.
I recognize it immediately - Biggs' squadron insignia. Without a word, Wedge places the patch in my palm.
I take it reverently, feeling its weight and significance.
I clutch the scorched patch in my palm, studying the faded Rebel insignia that Biggs once wore with pride.
The weight of Wedge's gift and what it represents settles over me like a mantle.
Carefully, I pin it inside my flight suit, right above my heart.
Standing straighter, I face my instructor.
"One more round in the simulator, sir," I say, even though my muscles ache from today's training.
Wedge's eyes linger on where I placed the patch before he nods, a ghost of a smile crossing his weathered face.
I settle into the simulator's worn seat, my fingers instinctively finding their familiar positions on the controls.
The canopy hisses shut, encasing me in a bubble of focus.
Through the viewscreen, I see Wedge at the control panel, programming a new scenario.
This time, he's setting up a complex engagement - multiple TIE fighters, coming at me from all angles.
His earlier vulnerability is gone, replaced by the intensity of an instructor pushing his student to the limit.
But there's a new understanding between us now, a silent acknowledgment of the weight we carry and the sacrifices that have been made.
As the simulation powers up, I take slow, deliberate breaths, feeling the patch against my chest.
It's a constant reminder of what I fight for - not just for myself or for the Rebel Alliance, but for those who have come before me and given everything.
The engines roar to life around me, and I feel myself becoming one with the ship.
The first TIE fighter appears on my scope, its sleek form glinting in the sunlight.
I grip the controls tighter, my movements precise and calculated.
"Wedge, why did you choose me for this?" I ask, my voice steady despite the adrenaline coursing through me.
"Because you remind me of him," Wedge replies, his voice crackling through the comms with a mix of pride and sadness.
"And because I know you'll fight just as fiercely to protect what we all believe in."
