- "Corvette Five locked on target. Prepare for impact."
- ―Captain Kado Oquoné to his crew
Kado Oquoné[1] was a human male who served as a captain in the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War. During the Battle of Scarif,[2] Oquoné was in command of the Sphyrna-class Hammerhead corvette Lightmaker.[1]
After his ship was damaged he took it away from the line of fire to guard the line of retreat. Late in the battle, Admiral Raddus ordered Oquoné to ram his corvette into the side of a disabled Star Destroyer, Persecutor, forcing it into a second Star Destroyer, Intimidator, sending it into the Shield Gate protecting Scarif. The action disabled the Shield Gate and allowed the Rebels on Scarif to transmit the Death Star plans to Raddus. The Lightmaker, along with its skeleton crew, was destroyed in the crash. Oquoné's actions resulted in the capture of the Death Star plans by the Rebels, which were later used to exploit a weakness in the battle station and destroy it during the Battle of Yavin.[1]
