Hype Fazon's hangar bay

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on here?"

―Hype Fazon discovers First Order troopers in his hangar^[1]

Hype Fazon's hangar bay, designated hangar C2, was a hangar located on the Colossus refueling station and was used by the Ace pilot Hype Fazon as his personal hangar. Fazon stored his racer, the Green Ace, there. In 34 ABY, after the occupying First Order grounded all pilots on the Colossus, an upset Fazon had a run-in with several First Order stormtroopers in his hangar bay after they locked down his ship, leading to his arrest.

Description[]

Hype Fazon docked the *Green Ace* in his personal hangar.

Hype Fazon's hangar bay^[2] was a hangar used by the Ace Squadron pilot Hype Fazon aboard the Colossus refueling station. Located in the platform's Doza Tower^[1] and designated hangar C2,^[2] the hangar was a large space that Fazon used to store his racing starfighter, the Green Ace. It also included several barrels and crates. Fazon's name and logo were detailed on the floor and wall in green Aurebesh lettering,^[1] so that no one mistook who the hangar was used by.^[2] Green and yellow elements also decorated the interior.^[1] The Rodian kept the hangar clean and in good shape, unlike many other hangars on the station.^[2] There were several entrances to the hangar, including one that led to a large corridor.^[1]

History[]

"His ship is locked down."

―Torra Doza, to Kazuda Xiono, upon sneaking into Hype's hangar^[1]

HypeArrest — Hype Fazon was apprehended by First Order stormtroopers in his hangar.

In 34 ABY,^[3] after Captain Imanuel Doza informed the Aces in the Aces' Lounge that the occupying First Order had restricted non-military pilots from flying, preventing the Aces from being in the air and effectively shutting down all racing events, Fazon vehemently reacted to the news and stormed off to his hangar, accompanied by his astromech droid R4-G77. Entering the hangar, Fazon witnessed a trio of First Order stormtroopers locking down the Green Ace with a clamp. Fazon declared that he was going to run speed trials in his ship, but the troopers informed him that his ship was now grounded. After calling the trooper a "nerko" and putting his hands on them, Fazon was then arrested.^[1]

After several other Colossus occupants noticed Fazon's absence and discussed it in Aunt Z's Tavern, a group of First Order stormtroopers lied by stating that Fazon had left the Colossus entirely. Fazon's fellow Ace Torra Doza became worried and enlisted the help of mechanic Kazuda Xiono to investigate. As Doza Tower was on lockdown, with even Aces like Torra restricted from going to certain areas, Xiono's astromech droid companion CB-23 helped them create a distraction that allowed them to take a turbolift up to the level of Fazon's hangar.^[1]

HangarC2-TheDisappeared — Xiono and Doza discover Fazon's racer on lock-down in the hangar.

Inside hangar C2, Doza and Xiono discovered that Fazon's Green Ace was locked down. With Doza noting that Fazon would not have left the platform without it, the two agreed that the alleged story about Fazon's departure must be false. Xiono felt the First Order must be behind his absence. Just then, two stormtroopers entered the hangar for a routine check, and as the two Colossus residents hid behind a group of barrels, the troopers discussed how the Green Ace would soon be scrapped. Doza and Xiono would search for Fazon and eventually locate him and two other First Order prisoners in the West Docks.^[1]
