Biography
Tamizander Rey was a Human male from the Core World Esseles, a planet highly regarded for its rich culture, celebrated museums, and high-tech research facilities. Rey served as a member of the Esselian defense force, a local military unit, though he resigned following the dissolution of the Imperial Senate by Galactic Emperor Palpatine in 0 BBY.

Afterwards, Rey joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic as a highly-skilled starship pilot, eventually earning an assignment to the Alliance High Command's secret Echo Base on the Outer Rim Territories ice planet Hoth by 3 ABY. At Echo Base, Rey was the senior deck officer responsible for overseeing the facility's docking bay operations.

When Death Squadron launched its attack on Hoth, Rey made the suggestion to Pharl McQuarrie that no ship should leave the planet until the deflector shield had been activated. The Commander drew flak from non-Rebel pilots delivering supplies to the base. During the battle, Rey was seriously wounded, but continued to supervise the evacuation.
