This article is about minor characters in the fictional Star Wars universe who are part of the Rebel Alliance.

Antilles, Colton

Captain Colton Antilles was the commander of the Tantive IV when it was captured by the Empire shortly after the Rebel Alliance intercepted plans for the original Death Star. He was also former master of the droids C-3PO and R2-D2 before they became the property of Luke Skywalker. Antilles died at the hands of Darth Vader after he failed to give information on the location of the Death Star plans. It is not known whether Captain Antilles is related to Wedge Antilles.

He appeared in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope and its radio adaptation, though it was only in the radio version that he was mentioned by name. His name in the novelization of A New Hope was simply Captain Colton. He will appear in the upcoming Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.

Crynyd, Arvel

Affiliation	Rebel Alliance

Arvel Crynyd was an A-Wing pilot during the Battle of Endor. Towards the end of the battle, his A-Wing flew right into the bridge of the Executor, killing Crynyd as well as Admiral Piett instantly. This caused the Executor to fly out of control and crash into the second Death Star, thus turning the tide at the Battle of Endor.

Darklighter, Biggs

Biggs Darklighter briefly appeared in the 1977 release of the original film. Biggs was in the Battle of Yavin scene, where he joined Luke Skywalker and Luke's other wingman, Wedge Antilles, in their attack run on the first Death Star. Biggs was killed when Darth Vader fired upon him while he was flanking Luke down the Death Star trench.

Biggs had a larger role in earlier drafts of the script for the movie and several of the additional scenes appeared in the novelisation. His additional scenes include a conversation with Luke on Tatooine where Biggs tells Luke of his secret desire to join the Rebel Alliance. This scene was deleted from A New Hope, but the book Inside the Worlds of the Star Wars Trilogy depicts the missing scene at Tosche Station. Biggs also showed up on Yavin 4 in the Rebel base hangar where he meets Luke in a surprise encounter, just before the rebel ships take off to attack the Death Star. Biggs assures the rebel flight leader that Luke can handle the X-Wing fighters and off they go. This scene was reintroduced in the 1997 re-release of the film.

Darklighter, Gavin

Gavin Darklighter is a fictional character in the Star Wars universe, created by Michael Stackpole in his series of X-Wing novels.

Darklighter is a human male from Tatooine. The younger cousin of Rogue Squadron pilot Biggs Darklighter, Gavin joined the Rogues at the age of 16, under the command of Wedge Antilles. Despite his youth, Gavin quickly distinguished himself during the conquest of Coruscant and the liberation of Thyferra. He won the affection of Bothan pilot Asyr Sei'lar and the two were a couple for several years, despite disapproval from many Bothans, especially Bothan senator Borsk Fey'lya. He later married human female Sera Faleur, and, after the retirement of Rogue veterans Antilles and Tycho Celchu, became the commander of Rogue Squadron. He continues to lead the Rogues in their fight against the Yuuzhan Vong.

Dodonna, Jan

Jan Dodonna one of the first Generals in the Rebellion's military, appearing in A New Hope, played by Alex McCrindle. Like Han Solo, Dodonna was Corellian. He was a strategic master, who had served in the Old Repubilc. As the Republic became the Empire, Dodonna left, and joined the Rebellion only after the Emperor ordered a hit on him. When plans brought to him by Princess Leia and downloaded from R2-D2, Dodonna helped plan the attack on the Death Star. The data showed that the defenses of the Death Star were built around large scale attacks, he found that thermal exhaust ports on the station would be vulnerable to attack, and designed the starfighter attack that was sucessful in destroying the Death Star.

Dodonna was not seen in any later film. According to the Expanded Universe fiction, he had been believed killed during the evacuation of Yavin. However, he had been captured by Imperial forces. He was eventually sent to Lusankya. The Imperials were unable to turn him into a sleeper agent. Dodonna spent several years at Lusankya, until he was moved by Isard. Eventually, Rouge Squadron found the surviving Lusankya prisoners, and Dodonna was finally freed. After being freed, Dodonna served on the New Republic council.

Dreis, Garven

Garven Dreis was the leader of X-Wing Red Squadron at the Battle of Yavin. While his wingmen were killed by Darth Vader, he took his shot at the Death Star thermal exhaust port. However, his proton torpedoes just missed it, instead causing damage to the internal corridor. His fighter was then damaged by Vader's TIE fighter. Dreis ordered Luke Skywalker to start his attack run. Dreis was then killed when his X-Wing crashed into the Death Star.

Dreis can be remembered for his line of "Almost there" before firing his proton torpedoes.

Janson, Wes

Lieutenant Wes Janson was Wedge Antilles's gunner in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, and along with Wedge he scored the first kill of an AT-AT walker with a terse "Cable detached!" (his only speaking line in the movie.) He later went on to become part of Rogue Squadron, one of the Rebel Alliance's (and later the Republic's) most elite fighter squadrons. He was regarded as the joker of the group.

Klivian, Hobbie

Derek "Hobbie" Klivian is a native of the planet Ralltiir. Not much is known about his past before he served with Biggs Darklighter aboard the Rand Ecliptic and participated in a mass-defection that occurred in the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Hobbie was later assigned to Rogue Squadron as Rogue Four. It is interesting that he was assigned to such an elite squadron, due to his almost legendary knack for crashing. He was given the nickname of Bugbite by Iella Wessiri, a reference to their first meeting on Corellia where Hobbie was stung by a local insect.

Hobbie makes an appearance in The Empire Strikes Back as one of the pilots on Hoth. He was presumed killed by flying into General Veers' AT-AT, but both he and the general survived, though it cost Veers his legs.

Lobot

Lobot is the assistant to Lando Calrissian in the administration of Cloud City. His brain is connected to a computer which allows him to communicate directly with the city's computer network. However, this made him a mute.

His only appearance in the Star Wars movies is in Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, where he is played by John Hollis (IMDb entry (http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0391197/)).

Mothma, Mon

Mon Mothma was the Senator of Chandrillia in the waning days of the Old Republic. Later, she was the leader and head of the Rebel Alliance and gathered the Rebel Alliance to defeat the Galactic Empire. Later, she was the head of the New Republic and died in New Jedi Order books. She was first seen in Return of the Jedi, where she was played by Caroline Blakiston.

In 2005, the character will be seen in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, where she will be played by Genevieve O'Reilly in a younger age.

Porkins, Jek

Home Planet	Bestine IV
Affiliation	Rebel Alliance

Pilot of Red 6 in the Battle of Yavin, Jek Porkins was the first rebel pilot to die in the battle. He got the nickname "Belly Runner" from his skill and his tubby gut. He, like so many others, gained experience flying in the cockpit of a T-16 Skyhopper.

Ralter, Dak

Dak Ralter served as Luke Skywalker's gunner during the Battle of Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back. While battling AT-ATs in the snow battle phase, Dak sensed an emergency power failure and suggested to Luke he cut the ship to auxiliary power, but Luke told Dak to keep firing. The powerboard on Dak's side exploded, killing him instantly.

Salm, Horton

Gender	Male

Home Planet	Unknown
Affiliation	Rebel Alliance, New Republic

While Horton Salm was a minor character in the movies, he made several appearances in Michael Stackpole's novels. Salm was a Y-Wing pilot in the Battle of Endor. He was forty years old at the time, and was leader of Aggressor squadron.

He is seen in the Return of the Jedi for a short time, in the cockpit of his Y-Wing during the battle for the second Death Star near the end of the movie. He survives the battle, and is eventually promoted to the rank of general.

In the X-Wing novels by Michael Stackpole, Horton Salm is in charge of Defender Squadron, though not as a pilot. By the time of the novels, Salm is far too old to fly in combat; even before the battle of Endor he was balding and into his forties. Salm knew that the battle of Endor would be his last, and succeeded in convincing the Rebel leadership to let him fly. Salm repeatedly runs into the members of Rogue Squadron, and he does not get along very well with X-Wing pilot Wedge Antilles, the squadron's leader.
