Gemmer Sojan

Gemmer was a Rebel Alliance pilot and a member of Rogue Squadron under the command of Luke Skywalker. He was initially stationed at the Rebel base on Golrath.

Biography
Gemmer was also a member of a survey team under Princess Leia assigned to scouting out the planet, Arbra, in the hopes of establishing a permanent Rebel base. When an alien creature known as a Slivilith attacked the base camp, Gemmer and several others assisted Leia in corralling the creature into a grotto filled with large, energy-absorbing, crystals. Thanks to a native species known as the Hoojibs, the Rebels had no energy with which to power their blasters. Gemmer and the others were forced to rely on melee weapons to fight the monster. By availing themselves of various spears and lances, they were able to keep the Slivilith hemmed in the corner of the cave. It was Chewbacca the Wookiee however, that dealt the final blow ending the Slivilith's life.

Gemmer's next mission involved the deployment of black market TIE fighters to infiltrate an Imperial outpost on the planet, Spindrift. Skywalker's Rogue Squadron unit strafed the munitions station and communication towers forcing the commanders of the meager Imperial garrison to surrender.

It was later discovered that Gemmer kept a piece of volcanic bedrock in his bunk as a souvenir from the old Rebel base at Golrath. The photoreceptive mineral began projecting images from the time he spent stationed at the base. The light show spectacle prevented him from getting adequate amounts of sleep, and he complained about it to Captain Thorben. Upon learning this, Thorben immediately contacted his superiors, and told them that the holographic imagery projected by the walls of the old base may tip off the Imperials as to their present location.

Physical appearance
Gemmer was a tall, clean-shaven, male Human. He wore the standard-issue flight suit of an X-wing pilot and carried a BlasTech E-11 blaster rifle. When working as part of the ground crew at the Salvation base, Gemmer wore traditional utility fatigues.
