Nozzo Naytaan

"It's a hit!"

- Naytaan during the Battle of Yavin.

Nozzo Naytaan was a human male Rebel pilot who served in the Galactic Civil War. A member of Red Squadron, he flew in the Battle of Scarif with the callsign of Red Nine. Both from Corellia, Naytaan and Lieutenant Attico Wred, a fellow Rebel pilot who flew with Green Squadron as Green Four, had a friendly rivalry. Just days after the Battle of Scarif, Naytaan would die during the Battle of Yavin.

Behind the Scenes.
Naytaan's voice is heard in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. His two lines of dialogue, "Red Nine standing by" and "It's a hit!" were both spoken over the comm systems of his X-wing starfighter, although his second line would not be associated with his character until 2008. He was identified as Red Nine at the Battle of Scarif by Star Wars: Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide. Pablo Hidaldo would later re-canonize Nozzo's participation in the Battle of Yavin via Twitter shortly after the release of the film.
