Riv Shiel

Riv Shiel was a Shistavanen male of Uvena III. Prior to his joining the Rebel Alliance, Imperial soldiers mistook Riv for the wanted Shistavanen rebel, Lak Sivrak. The imperials attacked Riv and he was forced to kill them. Riv would have an imperial death mark on his head for the rest of his life.

When Wedge Antilles decided to reform Rogue Squadron, Riv applied for the elite position. His simulator scores were good enough that Wedge selected him for the squadron. He was paired with Gavin Darklighter and the two wingmates would develop a strong, albeit strange, friendship.

Riv was instrumental in the Rogues' fight against the former head of Imperial Intelligence Ysanne Isard, who had taken the leadership of the Galactic Empire. He participated in the commando operation that resulted in the capture of Coruscant, and he resigned his comission, along with the rest of his squadron, to assist the Ashern Rebels in the fight against Isard on Thyferra.

The Bacta War would be the last battle Riv would ever see. Like so many former and future Rogues, Riv was killed in battle above Thyferra.

Although he was quiet and seemed menacing, Riv was loved by his squadmates and he would be missed.
