Ushos O. Statura

"We weren't prepared for anything like this."

- Statura, on Resistance casualties, during the Battle of Starkiller Base

Statura was a human male admiral and senior officer with the Resistance. Statura hailed from Garel and had a scientific background. Statura's knowledge aided in the Resistance's efforts during their conflict with the First Order, in which he helped plan the assault on Starkiller Base, the First Order's superweapon, from their command center on D'Qar. Statura correctly predicted the attack on Starkiller Base would be successful if the Resistance crippled its thermal oscillator‎, which led to the destruction of the superweapon.

Biography
Statura was born on Garel sometime prior to the Galactic Civil War. By the time he was a teenager, he had fought against the Galactic Empire to liberate Garel. Following the Battle of Endor, he pursued a career in applied sciences. He was then recruited by General Leia Organa as commander of ship procurement and logistics for her Resistance forces, becoming an admiral. He was never far from Organa's side, as she relied upon Statura for advice and perspective. After the destruction of the Hosnian system, he helped plan the assault on Starkiller Base.
