Ikvizi
"Please&hellip;I need your help&hellip;" "I don't have a habit of assisting criminals." "That's good, since I'm not a criminal. I was unjustly imprisoned."

- Ikvizi, attempting to convince a spacer to help him

Ikvizi was a male Geonosian scientist who worked at the old Geonosian research station on Yavin 4 a few years before the Battle of Yavin. After he left the station, Ikvizi journeyed to the city of Kachirho on the planet Kashyyyk to study the Wookiees. A short time after the destruction of the Death Star, a group of Trandoshan slavers framed Ikvizi for a crime, because he had found their base in the forests where they tortured their Wookiee slaves. While he was in the Kachirho prison, he came upon a spacer who agreed to help the captive Geonosian get out of the mess. After Ikvizi was freed from jail, he gave the spacer a handsome reward.

Battle of Korriban (Galactic Civil War)
"It was a crazy, foolhardy mission. Every member of Renegade Squadron volunteered without question."

- Col Serra, telling Tionne Solusar about the battle

The Battle of Korriban occurred during the Galactic Civil War, shortly before the Alliance attack on the Empire's new superweapon, the second Death Star, at Endor. The battle started when Renegade Squadron&mdash;the Rebel Alliance's elite fighting unit founded by General Han Solo&mdash;attacked the Sith planet of Korriban. Under the command of Commander Col Serra, Renegade Squadron hoped to capture data concerning the Death Star from Emperor Palpatine&mdash;the ruler of the Galactic Empire which controlled much of the galaxy&mdash;while he was visiting the planet. After a brief battle, Renegade Squadron was able to capture a data holocron from the Emperor's shuttle. The battle was considered to be one of the most dangerous and challenging that Renegade Squadron had ever faced, and Serra would later recount the battle to Jedi archivist Tionne Solusar, years after the fall of the Empire.

Mission to Mos Eisley (Galactic Civil War)
"Chances were the captured crew were dead or sold as slaves already, but nobody on Renegade Squadron believed in abandoning good men."

- Col Serra, telling Tionne Solusar about the battle years later

This mission occurred during the Galactic Civil War in 0 ABY when the Rebel Alliance discovered that a group of Rebels, captured by the Mandalorian bounty hunter Boba Fett, had been sold as slaves to the Hutt Cartel in Mos Eisley on the planet Tatooine. The Alliance assigned their new elite fighting force, Renegade Squadron&mdash;formed by the smugglers-turned-rebels General Han Solo and Commander Col Serra&mdash;the mission of rescuing the prisoners. The local Imperial garrison attempted to stop the Rebels from freeing their comrades, but the squadron was able to save the prisoners, and at first the mission was thought to be a success and a miracle rescue on the part of Renegade Squadron. It later turned out, however, that Fett had actually placed a tracking device in a R5 astromech droid the Rebels had taken with them, leading the Imperials back to the their new base on Boz Pity. Serra would later recount this battle to Jedi Knight Tionne Solusar for her archives years later after the defeat of the Empire and the formation of the New Republic. (Read more...)

HOB-147
"I knew you were tough."

- Nia, whispering to HOB-147 after he saved her and her friends' lives

HOB-147 was a male Human clone pilot who flew a V-19 Torrent starfighter for Light Brigade Division in the Grand Army of the Republic. He was shot down in a space battle during the Clone Wars, but survived in his starfighter, and floated through space, unconscious. Shortly after Order 66&mdash;one of the GAR's 150 contingency orders that instructed the clone forces to eliminate all Jedi&mdash;was issued, he was rescued by the junk salvager Hurd Coyle. Order 66 began the Great Jedi Purge, the near-eradication of the Jedi Order, which allowed the then Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to reorganize the Republic into the Galactic Empire and declare himself Galactic Emperor.

After being rescued, 147 first assumed that the salvager was working for the Separatists when he saw re-programmed battle droids working throughout the ship, and found a group of Jedi younglings in the ship's cargo bay. Believing that Coyle had kidnapped them, 147 was surprised to discover that Hurd Coyle was in fact transporting the younglings to the Outer Rim in order to save them from the new Galactic Empire. 147 then decided to disobey Order 66, and did not inform his fellow clones that Coyle was transporting the children.
