Biography
"He was expecting a boy and instead he got me! And then my mother&hellip;"

- Gunn Yage on her father and mother.



She was likely a descendant of the Imperial Remnant officer Arien Yage, and was the daughter of Moffs Nyna Calixte and Rulf Yage, the latter of whom raised her like the son he wished he had. Growing up despising her mother for abandoning them to pursue a relationship with Grand Admiral Morlish Veed, Gunn eventually gained her father's respect after climbing through the ranks with no preferential treatment, reaching the rank of captain and earning command of Skull Squadron.

The pilots under her command matched her own exacting standards, and included Tev Rimon, Jae Akura, and Brodie Coburn. It was said that they would do anything for her. Around 137 ABY, Gunn lead Skull Squadron in the pursuit of a vessel they believed to be Cade Skywalker's ship the Mynock on Coruscant. They were unable to catch him when Cade dove down into the undercity of the planet. Upon returning to their hangar Gunn was berated by her father on failing to capture him and was told to meet him for dinner the next evening at a restaurant called the Naboo Queen.

While eating dinner with her father Gunn's mother Nyna Calixte showed up. After calling her mother a rancor she said she believed that the vessel her and her men engaged the day before was indeed the Mynock. Shortly thereafter, Skull Squadron engaged the Mynock again, but this time the Wookiee Chak was the pilot. When it seemed as though Gunn was about to disable the ship, she was informed by Captain Skolitz of Moff Yage's orders to disengage and abort mission.
