Legend

this man was one of the crewmen aboard the Rand Ecliptic who decided to join Biggs Darklighter in defecting from Imperial service and joining the Alliance. Shortly before the Battle of Yavin, their group managed to escape from the frigate, only to realize that they didn't have enough fuel to reach their destination. They hatched a plan to return to the Rand Ecliptic and steal more fuel, only to find that Derek "Hobbie" Klivian had also launched a mutiny and taken control of the ship. They joined forces, and brought the frigate to Yavin 4. Kurin was then chosen as one of the former TIE Fighter pilots who would travel to Incom Industries and help steal the X-Wing starfighter. The plan called for the TIE pilots to eject in space, allowing droids to fly the ships and draw off any defenders. Although the plan started off well, Klivian lost a foot in the ejection, and Kurin was decapitated. His body was recovered and given a proper burial when the group returned to Yavin 4.
