Legend

a decorated Adumari pilot, Captain ke Mattino led the Strike the Moons Flightknife. He was the first to challenge Wedge Antilles and Red Flight in simulated - rather then live-fire - combat, but his flightknife was soundly defeated. When Wedge offered them another chance to duel, ke Mattino accepted despite the fact that a second challenge was not a normal protocol. In the end, the Strike the Moons learned a lot about New Republic fighter tactics. He and his pilots later joined Red Flight at the Giltella Air Base to discuss tactics and the results of their simulated combat. In the wake of the treacherous actions of Tomer Darpen, ke Mattino led the Strike the Moons Flightknife on a mission to escort Wedge and Red Flight out of Cartann and to the Yedagonian nation. He and his Flightknife defected, and assisted the Yedagonian forces in defeating Cartann. Unfortunately, Liak was killed in the battle.
