Uldir Lochett

'Uldir Lochett (4 ABY—) was a young man who stowed away on the Lightning Rod in the hope of becoming a Jedi at Yavin 4. In spite of his optimism, he lacked obvious Force sensitivity - in his own later, rueful opinion, all he had were good hunches, a whisper-like ability to sense when the Force was being used, and a habit of causing trouble.

After leaving the Academy, Uldir became rescue pilot, but when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded, he chose not to transfer to a military unit, claiming that he was more comfortable saving lives rather than taking them. At the Battle of Duro, he calmly rescued three pilots while under fire from a full flight of coralskippers. However, as a former Jedi Academy student, his name was on the lists of Jedi supplied to the Peace Brigade when Tsavong Lah called for the extermination of the Order, and he discovered that his new partner, "Doc" Dacholder, was a Brigader with orders to hand him over to the Yuuzhan Vong.

But when Dacholder tried to hussle him over to a Peace Brigade ship, Uldir spaced him into hard vacuum. Soon after, he exchanged his ship Pride of Thela for the larger No Luck Required, with which he continued flying as a rescue pilot - now specifically trying to pull out Jedi from under the Brigaders and the Yuuzhan Vong. With his small crew, he served bravely, and was instrumental in stopping the young Jedi girl Klin-Fa Gi from falling to the Dark Side.
