Ardo Barodai

Vanguard Squadron’s intelligence chief, Ardo Barodai, lived on Mon Cala during its Imperial occupation. He played the foolish alien - often as a bartender - to eavesdrop on careless Imperial officers and pass intelligence along to the Rebellion. Now serving the New Republic, Ardo keeps up his kindly, rumpled persona. Few suspect that underneath lies the mind of a skilled strategist and spymaster.

Zerelda Sage

Growing up on a world occupied by Separatists left Zerelda Sage with a deep-seated hatred and mistrust of droids. However, she also learned to sabotage Separatist ships. After the war, she took her mechanical skills to the podracing circuit, before being recruited to maintain Vanguard Squadron’s starfighters. Zerelda’s hangar is her domain - one where droids are barely tolerated - and she sees every pilot’s safety as her personal responsibility.

Born into a secluded life of luxury, Grace would run away from home for a taste of freedom, only to learn how the people of the galaxy were suffering at the Empire’s hands. When she finally left for good, Grace spent years dodging family retainers and bounty hunters determined to bring her home, before joining the Rebellion. Refined and charming even under fire, Grace’s detailed knowledge of Imperial ships helps her blast them to atoms.

She’s continued the battle for galactic freedom ever since. Experienced, pragmatic, and gruff, Gunny has one goal left before retirement: train these youngsters in Vanguard Squadron so the galaxy finally has a chance at peace. As Vanguard Leader, she’s tough on the Empire, but even tougher on herself.

Frisk

Feresk Tssat - “Frisk” to his friends - never fit in back home. Too good-natured to be a mercenary, too loudmouthed to be a hunter, this Trandoshan with albinism found his true calling as a con artist. Frisk’s specialty was faking trophies and rare collectibles, until he scammed the wrong Imperial governor… but flying under a death mark gave him the kind of skills the Rebel Alliance needed. Now, as a valued member of Vanguard Squadron, Frisk loves nothing more than teaching Imperials a lesson they won’t forget.

Determined to help, Keo brought their racer’s talents, intuition, and integrity to Vanguard Squadron.

LT-514

LT-514 started life as Obon Yandro, a low-level clerk for a manufacturing corporation. A chance series of events saw him mistaken for an Imperial intelligence courier while carrying classified blueprints. Though the mistake was short-lived, Obon showed a knack for intelligence work, and joined the Imperial Information Office. Enhanced with Aj^6 cybernetic implants, and renamed LT-514, he became fascinated by the data patterns of war… always at a distance. After Endor, a shortage of intelligence officers finally let LT-514 be a part of the action he’d studied for so long.

Willard Waylin

A graduate of the Arkanis Academy, Willard Waylin grew up with both a love of Imperial design and a knack for engineering. Though he liked nothing more than working on Imperial starships, he never wanted to fly, allowing him to bypass the competitive life of TIE pilot training to focus on becoming a mechanic. Recently assigned to the Star Destroyer Overseer, Waylin knows that Imperial strength sometimes comes down to the right wrench in the right hands.

default

Shen

No one knows the true identity of the mysterious pilot known as "Shen". After being shot down and breaking his neck, Shen was reconstructed with Imperial cybernetics and never removes his helmet. Shen's enhancements allow him to survive battles and crash landings that would kill most TIE pilots, but at a cost each time. Though quiet and stoic, Shen nevertheless remains firmly loyal to the Empire that rebuilt him, and to his fellow Titan pilots.

default

Rella Sol

The strategist of Titan Squadron, Rella Sol's parents both sat in the Imperial Senate before Emperor Palpatine consolidated power. Sol has inherited their political instincts and always keeps one eye on the bigger picture. While she's proud to serve, Sol's ambitions ultimately reach higher than piloting a TIE—perhaps even to a new senate. The renewed Empire will need not only strength but wisdom, and Sol is wise enough to bide her time.
