"You will never stop us. We will not be broken. However long it takes, we will never stop fighting."

- Caluan Ematt to Commander Alecia Beck

Caluan Ematt was a human male soldier who served as a lieutenant in the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War. He fought against the Galactic Empire, during which Ematt was given command of the Shrikes, a special recon unit that was tasked with identifying, securing and prepare new Rebel bases for the Alliance. He was a friend of Princess Leia Organa and would later go on to serve with her at a Resistance base as a major in the Resistance.

Zatiga
Shortly after the Battle of Hoth, Ematt accompanied Nien Nunb to the Remembrance so that they could pick Leia Organa up and take her to a secret meeting with the leadership of the Alliance to Restore the Republic on Zastiga.

Joining the Resistance
Eventually the Alliance to Restore the Republic was able to defeat the Empire and was able to form the New Republic and Ematt became a member of it. 28 years later, Following the assassination of Senator Tai-Lin Garr, Ematt attended a secret meeting with several other New Republic soldiers, pilots, and officers where Leia announced the formation of the Resistance, a paramilitary organization dedicated to defending the New Republic from threats like the First Order.

Over the years, Ematt would see many Republic officers leaving the service to join the Resistance. He would serve the Resistance's leader Organa, who was now a General.

Sometime after, he escorted General Organa to the Mirrin Prime Republic Base to see the recruitment of Commander Poe Dameron, fresh from a skirmish with the First Order. Ematt intercepted the young pilot as he landed with two shore police, and brought him to the General.
