Maren Kelsome

Maren Kelsome was a soldier in the Rebel Alliance.

Biography
Young Kelsome's first assignment as a member of the Alliance was as a scout on the frigid world of Akuria II, cleaning up the remains of an Imperial base there. Kelsome performed well, sweeping Imperial troops from the gutted base and helping the native Akurians reclaim their planet. The local Rebel commander, Colonel Odan promoted the young private to corporal.

Kelsome was later sent to Hoth when the call went out for soldiers experienced in arctic operations. Colonel Ledick Firest trained him to function in the more formal military structure at Echo Base, which was more disciplined than the Rebel group on Akuria II. Kelsome rode a tauntaun as a forward scout at Outpost Beta. It was Kelsome's voice that called to station 3-T-8 and reported the first sighting of Imperial walkers. Moments later, the tauntaun and Kelsome, having underestimated the speed of a walker's stride, was crushed under one of it's massive footpads before the Rebels fired a single shot.
