Legend

this son of the Jedi Knight Axton Tredway, Erling had an uncanny ability to remember the exact galactic coordinates of every planet or moon he visited, as well as the coordinates of thousands of other locations he had only heard of. Like his sister, Dena, Erling met Anakin Skywalker at a young age. Unlike Dena, though, Erling grew to hate the Jedi and their "misguided righteousness" because of the death of Axton at the hands of Darth Vader. Erling decided to fight against the Imperial occupation of the Sil'Lume Asteroid Belt in a non-violent manner, and became the target of presecution from Imperial Governor Sebastian Parnell. Parnell eventually captured Erling, killing Erling's mother and severely injuring Dena in the process. Unknown to Erling, Dena had been ordered by Mon Mothma to keep Erling quiet, a mission picked up by Luke Skywalker after he rescued Dena. Luke, with the help of Gideon Smith and Sidney Shortfang, managed to rescue Erling from Tol Ado. During the escape, Erling had to pretend to be Darth Vader himself, in order to get past Parnell and escape the facility. Erling was thankful for his rescue, and joined the Alliance as an operative. Erling was part of a mission - along with Shira Brie and Kyle Katarn - that was dispatched to disable the superlaser of the second Death Star, while it was en route at D'rinba IV.
