Legend

once a native of Repea, Gikkin was the commanding officer of the Crimson Aces defense squadron. He was a vocal opponent of the New Order, a stance which led the Repean government to fear that he might cause the Crimson Aces to defect from service. After Repea joined the Empire, they launched an attack on the Crimson Aces, killing many of its members and scattering the survivors into the Cron Drift. Gikkin managed to survive, and resurrected the Crimson Aces as a mercenary unit. They spent much of their effort disrupting the relationship between Repea and the Empire, until several Star Destroyers destroyed much of the planet. Gikkin and the Crimson Aces then set out on their own, selling their services to the highest bidders. Gikkin was killed shortly afterward while on a mission.
