Arro Basteren

Arro Basteren was a human male who grew up on the planet Ertegas and joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic in their fight against the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War. Serving as a private, he was amongst the group of rebels fighters that volunteered to join Jyn Erso in a unsanctioned mission to steal the plans for the Imperial Death Star superweapon from the Citadel tower on the planet Scarif. After infiltrating the planet's defenses in a stolen Zeta-class cargo shuttle, Basteren was amongst a squad that set out to create a distraction to draw the Empire's forces so that Erso and a small team could sneak into the Citadel and find the plans. Basteren and the others ultimately gave their lives in the fighting to ensure the plans were transmitted to the Alliance Fleet.

Behind the scenes
Private Basteren was played by James Harkness in the film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which was released in North America on December 15, 2016.
