Varth

"Commander Varth is far more successful at keeping his pilots alive than you are. And, yes, I know Commander Varth has never had to face a death star."

- Ackbar to Wedge Antilles

Commander Varth was an X-wing Wing Commander who was in charge of the Atrivis sector's starfighter wing.

Biography
Varth was a bitter, taciturn disciplinarian, who was cordially hated by his pilots. They only put up with him because he was a brilliant pilot whose flawless tactics kept them alive and victorious against terrible odds. He had been known to get in heated arguments with Wedge Antilles&mdash;who considered him a "caustic mouthed tyrant"&mdash;over parts and maintenance tasks. Then-Captain Pash Cracken and his flight group were part of Varth's wing during during the Zsinj and Thrawn campaigns and the red-haired squadron leader remarked to Wedge after Generis fell that he wasn't sure if Wing Commander Varth made it out during the evacuation.

Varth may have been related to later X-wing pilot Alinn Varth.
