Klivian, Derek "Hobbie"
a native of the planet Ralltiir, this Alliance pilot was known to his comrades as Hobbie. He served as Biggs Darklighter's executive officer aboard the Rand Ecliptic during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin and the mass-defection of the officers aboard the ship. Hobbie was known as a skeptic in his early years of service to the Alliance, but that seemed to change when he met Biggs. He was always eager to get into a starfighter and shoot down the enemy, much like a rookie on every flight. Hobbie served under Captain Heliesk on the Rand Ecliptic, and when Heliesk staged a mock mutiny and stole the Rand Ecliptic from the shipyards of Bestine, Hobbie defected with Biggs and several others. They were taken into the Alliance's military and assigned to the Massassi Base on Yavin 4. Just before the first Death Star threatened the base, Hobbie was stricken by a virulent pathogen he picked up in the jungles outside the main temple. This forced him to remain at the Massassi Base while Darklighter and the other pilots launched into the Battle of Yavin. In the aftermath of the battle, Hobbie learned that Biggs had probably saved his life by finding a certain flower that provided the antidote to his afflcition. Shortly afterward, Hobbie assisted in the defense of Echo Base on Hoth, and was later assigned to Wedge's Rogue Squadron as Rogue Six. Many of his comrades often said that Hobbie enjoyed bacta baths too much, and that he could crash any starship he touched. After the Battle of Endor, he was given the nickname Bugbite by Iella Wessiri. The nickname served as a reminder of their first meeting on Corellia, after Hobbie had been stung by a local insect. Shortly after the Imperial Remnant agreed to a peace treaty with the New Republic, Hobbie and most of the other veteran Rogues retired from active duty. Note that in the novelization of Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back, Hobbie was killed when he crashed his disabled snowspeeder into General Veers' AT-AT walker.
