A male Duros starfighter pilot, Lensi fought in both the Yuuzhan Vong War and the Second Galactic Civil War. Young when the galaxy was invaded by a race of extra-galactic aliens known as the Yuuzhan Vong, Lensi suffered the loss of his homeworld of Duro to the warfaring species. By 26.5 ABY, the Duros had secured a place in Rogue Squadron&mdash;one of the New Republic Starfighter Corps' most legendary starfighter units. Lensi flew as Rogue Twelve during an attack on what was thought to have been a Yuuzhan Vong superweapon undergoing construction in the Julevian system. Although Lensi later learned that he and his squadron had helped to destroy a Yuuzhan Vong worldship rather than a superweapon, due to deliberate misinformation from rogue Jedi Master Kyp Durron, the young Duros continued to serve with Rogue Squadron.

Lensi performed well in the squadron over the next few years of the war, although a second mission, during which the young pilot felt that he had been deceived, caused the Duros to doubt his role in the military. Ostensibly given the chance to help liberate his homeworld during an assault on the Duro system, Lensi was disgusted to learn&mdash;following the deaths of hundreds of his fellow Duros&mdash;that the attack was a feint. Furious that Duro had never been the intended target and feeling betrayed by his commanding officer, General Wedge Antilles, Lensi resigned his commission. He rejoined the elite starfighter unit over a decade later in the opening stages of the Second Galactic Civil War, during which a number of high-profile planets and systems seceded from the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances. Lensi rose to the position of Rogue Leader and led his squadron into battle during the Galactic Alliance's attempt to capture Centerpoint Station, one of the opposition's military assets. In the resulting engagement, Lensi's unit engaged Rakehell Squadron, only for the Duros to be shot down and killed by Rakehell Leader&mdash;who was none other than Wedge Antilles.
