Legend

this young, Corellian woman was an Alliance operative during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Her mother, Lynn, was a textile worker, and imparted a wealth of information on clothing design to Lyda. She also was an accomplished engineer, and learned a great deal about droid repair from her father, Doyle. Lyda joined the Alliance after the deaths of her father and her brother, Athon. She was known to her fellow agents as Skimmer, and was responsible for locating information on Project Dead Eye, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Unfortunately, she went into hiding shortly after discovering the information, fearing that the Imperials would locate her before she could return. A group of Alliance agents working in the Corellian System managed to locate her and return her safely to Alliance headquarters, where she revealed that Dr. Vacca was the leader of Project Dead Eye.
