Legend

this native of the planet Coruscant grew up at the height of the New Order. His father was a privileged bureaucrat, which helped insulate Diblen from the worst of the atrocities of the Imperial war machine. His mother died when he was fifteen, about the time he resolved to join the Imperial Survey Corps and explore Wild Space. His father sat him down and explained to him the harsh realities of a scout's life, as well as the true nature of the Empire. His father had kept his dissident thoughts to himself, and warned Diblen to do the same. Diblen, however, believed that the right thing to do was to fight, and he joined the Alliance at his first chance. He proved to be a confident fighter pilot and tactician, and was a valuable resource during the planning of the Battle of Endor. He retained his love for flying, though, which eventually got hom promoted within the New Republic to wing commander on Coruscant shortly before the rise to power of Grand Admiral Thrawn. He was distinguished by the glareshades and blue gemstone earring he wore while in uniform.
