Legend

a bald-headed female member of Wedge Antilles' Rogue Squadron of X-Wing pilots, Plourr served with the squadron following the Battle of Endor. A member of the Alliance, Plourr served aboard the Home One as a technician during the Battle of Endor. She proved to be a valuable addition to the Rogues, until shortly after the discovery of Eidolon Base. It was then that the nobles of her homeworld, Eiattu, asked the New Republic to return her. They believed that she was Isplourrdacartha Estillo, the only surviving heir to Uthorrferrell Cartha. She admitted to this heritage, and a power struggle erupted within Eiattuan society. She told the Rogues of the coup against her father, and how she barely escaped the executions which followed. However, in order to escape, she was forced to kill her own brother, Harrandatha. This knowledge allowed her to expose Harran Estillo, who had risen to power on Eiattu while claiming to be Harrandatha. During her childhood, Plourr was betrothed to Rial Pernon, who later assisted her in recombining the political factions and bringing Eiattu under a monarchy once again. She defied the edicts of the Priamsta and declared that she would only rule when the tyranny of the noble class was removed and the common folk once again had a voice in the government. After Harran Estillo was exposed and Leonia Tavira's role was discovered, the Priamsta realized that they had been merely puppets of the Imperial regime. They allowed Plourr to assume control of the planet, and she pledged to restore Eiattu to its former glory. This meant that she had to retire from Rogue Squadron, a change Wedge Antilles openly supported. She soon discovered a way to merge both roles, and requested permission to fly with the Rogues when her royal duties weren't intruding. Wedge agreed to the compromise. Plourr later adopted the use of her full name, once she was back on Eiattu, and was part of the delegation assigned to negotiate with Leia Organa when the New Republic sought to bring Eiattu under its wing.
