- Hera Syndulla

Hera Syndulla was a Twi'lek female rebel who lived during the reign of the Galactic Empire. A capable pilot, Syndulla was the owner of the VCX-100 light freighter Ghost. She kept a secret blaster in her boot and was close with Kanan Jarrus, whom she convinced to become a rebel.

Biography
Following the rise of the Galactic Empire, Hera became a first rate starship pilot. Hera then met the former Jedi, Kanan Jarrus on the planet Gorse, where she convinced him to fight against the empire. During

After raiding an Imperial supply convoy on Kanan Jarrus' suggestion, Hera, Kanan, and C1-10P found themselves under attack by Imperial TIE fighters. After the attack disabled both the Ghost's shields and internal comm system, Hera and Kanan began giving Chopper conflicting orders over what to fix first. A comment from Kanan passed on to Hera by Chopper aggravated her enough to go on the offensive and destroy a TIE-fighter herself. Chopper wound up destroying the final starfighter, and his efforts were praised by Hera before she took the Ghost into hyperspace.

Another mission required Sabine Wren to create a diversion so the Ghost could take off. After Hera signaled Sabine that they were in position, the Mandalorian detonated an explosive in a TIE fighter landing platform, drawing attention from the departing Ghost. As the she flew away, Hera remarked to Sabine that the explosion was even visible from her position.
