Legend

this native of Rudrig was a pilot with the New Republic, and he was one of the original members of Wraith Squadron. Ton was the only son of parents who had him late in life, and they both died before he finished his education. e served as a doctor aboard an Alliance medical frigate during the Battle of Endor, but his ship was hit by a barrage of Imperial laser fire. A structural beam fell on him, causing massive amounts of damage to his skull. As a result, he wore a prosthetic headgear that covered most of his face, but his remaining blue eye and flowing moustahces gave him the appearance of an Imperial warlord. The prosthetics were necessary because Ton was allergic to bacta. He served as Wraith Squadron's medical officer. During the battle which resulted in the destructon of the Implacable near Ession, Phanan's X-Wing took a hit and he was forced to eject. Shrapnel from the explosion perforated his spleen, and he spent some time on Borleias recovering. Once again, he was unable to receive bacta treatments, and his recovery was slow. He eventually rejoined the Wraiths, and was instrumental in the early stages of the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. However, during the Hawk-bat raid on the Imperial garrison in Hullis, on the planet Halmad, Ton was shot down in his TIE fighter by an Imperial pilot. His landing was too hard to pull out of, and he suffered massive internal injuries in the crash. He was rescued by Garik Loran, who managed to avoid Imperial patrols to get them closer to his own ship. However, before they could escape the planet, Ton died of his injuries. As he was requested, Face burned Phanan's body, leaving nothing but ashes for the Imperials to find. In his will, he left Face a large sum of money, payable only if Face had the large scar on his face surgically removed. If the scar wasn't removed, the money went to Loran's arch-nemisis, Tetran Cowall.
