Biography
S'man joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic early in the Galactic Civil War. At nearly seven feet in height and close to 300 pounds, S'man was considered large for his species. Rumors which later circulated among Alliance personnel claimed that S'man's size had precluded him from becoming a starfighter pilot and that he had studied tactics and taken a role as a mission planner in order to remain involved with starfighter operations. Whatever his reason for by becoming a mission planner, by 0 BBY, S'man held the rank of commander and was one of the chief planning officers aboard the Mon Calamari Star Cruiser Independence. S'man worked closely with members of Alliance High Command in strategic planning, becoming particularly close to General Jan Dodonna and Admiral Ackbar, and was frequently involved in briefing the Independence's pilots prior to missions. He was credited with planning many of the Alliance's early successes.
