Magva Yarro

Magva Yarro was a human female who participated in the peaceful protest against the Galactic Empire that turned into the Ghorman Massacre. Surviving the incident, she joined up with Saw Gerrera's partisans to oppose the Empire, believing that the Alliance to Restore the Republic where ineffective cowards. Within the partisans she served as a forward spotter for the Cavern Angels X-wing starfighter squadron, and was present in the partisans base in the Catacombs of Cadera on the moon Jedha in the year 0 BBY, when a group including Gerrera's adoptive daughter Jyn Erso were brought in as captives. Shortly after their arrival, the partisans were forced to flee from their base when the Empire destroyed the nearby Jedha City with their Death Star superweapon, creating a blast wave that also eventually destroyed the catacombs.
