Legend

a member of the Illodian Beruss family, Avan was a crack starpilot who graduated honors from the Illodian Officers' Academy. He was also a decent sharpshooter, and would have represented Illodia in the Imperial Games if they hadn't been canceled with the destruction of the planet Alderaan. Instead of joining the local defense force, Avan joined the Alliance after his childhood friend, Leia Organa, began working with them. Avan had been serving as an aide to his father, Doman, using his skills to pick up the accents of various member worlds. Doman, an Imperial Senator at the time, strongly disagreed with Avan's decision, fearing Imperial reprisal if Avan's actions were discovered. Avan eventually made it to the Alliance, and following the Battle of Endor was given a position with Rogue Squadron. Most of his piloting skills had been learned in the private sector, since he never attended the Imperial Academt. He learned a great deal from Feylis Ardele about Imperial TIE Fighters, augmenting his own piloting skills. When Soontir Fel defected to the New Republic after the Battle of Brentaal, Avan was assigned to be his wingman. Like most members of the Illodian Beruss family, Avan's emotions were basically extinct, until he met Feylis Ardele. He soon found himself falling in love with Feylis, and they worked hard to keep their relationship a secret.
