- "You struck at one of us. You have made many enemies."
- ―Edrio
Edrio "Two Tubes" was a male Tognath mercenary pilot who flew alongside his eggmate, Benthic. The two shared the nickname derived from the breathing apparatus that allowed their Tognath physiology to process oxygen atmospheres. Edrio's homeworld Yar Togna was conquered and occupied by the Galactic Empire, forcing him to flee as a refugee. Desiring to strike back at the Empire, Edrio and Benthic had allied with Saw Gerrera some time before the Battle of Yavin.
Biography[]
Joining Gerrera[]
After the Empire conquered and occupied Yar Togna, where Edrio and his eggmate, Benthic, hailed from,[4] Edrio took up the life of a mercenary and killed an Imperial Moff, which caught the attention of rebel leader Saw Gerrera of the Partisans, which Edrio subsequently joined.[6] Benthic, meanwhile, joined the Partisans after his time with the Cloud-Riders.[7]
Early rebellion[]
Edrio flew a U-wing transport with Gerrera. Together, they both attacked the Marauder. They rescued the Spectres Ezra Bridger and Sabine Wren from the Jalindi Station before dropping proton bombs that destroyed both the relay and the Marauder.[8]
The group then traveled to Faos Station. There, he dropped Gerrera and the others off and was told by Gerrera to follow his signal. Edrio then followed Gerrera's signal to the Tonnis sector, where the Galactic Empire attempted to transfer a kyber crystal to Captain Slavin's Star Destroyer. Edrio then completed his rendezvous with Gerrera after he caused the crystal to explode. They made their escape before the crystal exploded.[8]
Sometime later, Edrio and the rest of the Partisans raided an Imperial Metal Factory on Dooma 4 after learning the factory had provided components for a secret Imperial project.[9]
Death on Jedha[]
- «The ground rolled over. A scramble to a snubfighter. My eggmate left behind. Another body in the ashes of Jedha. Another body to avenge.»
- ―Benthic, speaking of Edrio
In 1 BBY,[3] shortly after the Battle on Jedha, Edrio was present as his brother Benthic took Jyn Erso, Cassian Andor, Baze Malbus and Chirrut Îmwe hostage because Andor had just killed a Partisan in self-defense to protect Erso. They then took them back to the Catacombs of Cadera. During this time, Imperial Director Orson Krennic ordered the Death Star to destroy Jedha City. The shock wave from the destruction caused the Partisans' nearby hideout to collapse into rubble,[11] killing Edrio alongside many of his Partisan comrades.[1]
Personality and traits[]
Edrio was a male Tognath who wore a breathing apparatus in order to process oxygen atmospheres. Edrio was close with his eggmate Benthic, who both hated the Empire for invading their homeworld of Yar Togna. Their hatred for the Empire led them to join Saw Gerrera's militant Partisans.[1]
