Mutiny on the Rand Ecliptic/Legends

Mutiny on the Rand Ecliptic was an insurrection on board the Imperial frigate Rand Ecliptic. Derek Klivian was leading the mutiny on board the ship while Biggs Darklighter was trying to defect to the Rebel Alliance with his three friends flying TIE fighters.

Background
Both main protagonists of the mutiny, Derek Klivian and Biggs Darklighter, were assigned to the Rand Ecliptic after their graduation from Prefsbelt Fleet Camp. In the academy they had participated a group of friends dreaming about overthrowing the Empire. An informant sold out the other members of the group but Darklighter and Klivian were not discovered since they had not participated the meeting when the informant had been present. This made Darklighter suspicious of Klivian and when they graduated he hoped to get an assignment somewhere far away from his former friend.

Behind the scenes
The short story Mutiny on the Rand Ecliptic by Michael Stern tells a different story about the mutiny than the one presented in the Star Wars Empire story arc, Darklighter.
