Biography[]
Battle of Mon Calamari[]
Anj Dahl, a Human pilot in the Galactic Alliance Core Fleet, joined the prestigious Rogue Squadron several years after the Battle of Caamas,[1] which took place in 130 ABY during the Sith–Imperial War.[source?] As part of that squadron, she[1] accompanied fellow Rogue Squadron member and Mon Calamari Monia Gahan on a mission in 137 ABY. Monia went to persuade[2] her[3] uncle Gial Gahan—a former member of the Galactic Alliance Triumvirate, and Duros Admiral Gar Stazi's friend—to supply data on the Imperious, an advanced class of Star Destroyer under construction at the Mon Calamari Orbital Shipyards. Dahl acquired supplies, including parts, bacta, and a bottle of Corellian brandy for the Dug and fellow Rogue Squadron member Andurgo.[2]
After Monia Gahan successfully convinced her uncle to give the Alliance fleet intel on the Imperious, Dahl and Gahan flew the Scarlet Star, a modified YT-2400 light freighter,[1] back to the Indomitable and the fleet to report to Admiral Stazi. They barely missed the fight between Andurgo and Hondo Karr, a former Imperial stormtrooper. After the Rogue Leader Jhoram Bey broke up the fight between Karr and Andurgo, the Weequay reprimanded Dahl and Gahan for making Admiral Stazi wait.[2]
Dahl later fought at the Battle of Mon Calamari. When Ronto had to eject into Dac's atmosphere, Dahl informed Andurgo that she would skin him alive if the Dug's showboating led to Ronto's death.[3]
Attack on Ralltiir[]
- "Rogue Leader, this is Alliance C-and-C. The admiral wants you to rally your squad and fly escort for the Steadfast. They've wandered away from their fleet. Bring them back to it."
"Jhoram, we're protecting a bunch of Imps while a bunch of other Imps may start taking potshots at us?! This is stupid!"
"This is an order from the admiral, Anj. Execute." - ―Jhoram Bey and Dahl
After Bey was promoted by Admiral Stazi to the second-in-command of the Galactic Alliance fleet, Dahl was promoted to Rogue Leader.[4]
Mission to Napdu[]
- "At my signal, Rogue Squadron will come in to attack the bounty hunters—who are following the wrong transport."
"Ho ho ho! And they'll believe that transport to be the one with the refugees and follow it! Egad, a nice trick! I quite like it!" - ―Dahl and Azzim Anjiliac Atirue
Sometime after the Battle of Ralltiir, the Galactic Alliance fleet made its way to the Arkanis sector in the Outer Rim. Dahl and the other members of Rogue Squadron were briefed on their next mission by Jhoran Bey. She accompanied Hondo Karr on a mission to smuggle Mon Calamari refugees from a moon of Da Soocha. While the mission was a success, Karr did not return from it, as he was able to reunite with his wife and return to Mandalorian ways.[5]
Personality and traits[]
- "I hate this being squad leader stuff. Not what I signed up for. Jhoram was great at it."
"You're doing all right. Your only problem is seeing your squad mates as friends."
"And that's a problem because…?" - ―Anj Dahl and Hondo Karr
Anj Dahl was known for being eager and talented. She was also known to have been mischievous, starting trouble between her fellow Rogue Squadron members just for her own entertainment. Because she spent most of her years as a young adult in the Galactic Alliance Core Fleet, Dahl felt that everything in her life could be gone anytime. As a result, she embraced anything that seemed fun to her. Dahl excelled at scrounging, and was capable of acquiring ship parts and supplies from most spaceports without alerting the authorities. Her abilities at this were boosted when sympathizers to the Galactic Alliance Core Fleet assisted her.[1] Dahl did not enjoy being Rogue Leader, feeling that her predecessor, Jhoram Bey, was better at leading the Rogue Squadron than her. She viewed her fellow squad members, including Hondo Karr, as her friends, and was loyal to them. Dahl was not willing to lose any of the Rogue Squadron members on her watch, and did not wish to leave a man behind.[5]
Dahl spoke and comprehended Galactic Basic Standard. She was also capable of understanding Binary. Dahl was skilled in unarmed combat. She possessed a padded flight suit, a blaster pistol, a datapad, and a comlink.[1]
