Darklighter, Gavin

a native of Tatooine, Gavin was one of the most decorated members of Rogue Squadron. He was a cousin of Biggs Darklighter, and was just ten when Biggs died at the Battle of Yavin. He was only sixteen when Wedge Antilles suggested that he be allowed to join. He was responsible for creating the emblem of Rogue Squadron, which featured a twelve-pointed, red star surrounding the blue symbol of the Alliance. Radiating from the points of the star were X-Wing fighters. When the Squadron resigned its commission with the New Republic after the liberation of Coruscant, he painted his X-Wing to resemble a krayt dragon. As the Rogues liberated Ciruscant, Gavin found himself drawn to the Bothan pilot, Asyr Sei'lar, and they became romantically involved. Their relationship was nearly shattered when Gavin's X-Wing was damaged during the capture of the Xucphra Alazhi. He limped to Halanit, only to have the Corrupter and the Thyferran Home Defense Corps track the colony down. Erisi Dlarit made him believe it was his own flight that led the Imperials to Halanit, but it was really Ysanne Isard tracing the shipment of bacta to its source. Gavin assisted the settlers as much as he could, but he was unable to stop the destruction of their outpost. After several more battles and as their relationship deepened, Gavin and Asyr decided to get married and adopt children. Unbeknownst to Gavin, Asyr was blocked in her attempt to locate a Bothan child by Borsk Fey'lya. She resolved to bring about change to the Bothan society, but was unsure how to do it. When she collided with an enmy fighter over Corvis Minor Five, everyone believed she was dead, including Gavin. He mourned her deeply, but resolved himself to continue her noble ways. He was unaware that she survived the crash, but that was Asyr's wish. In the years that followed, Gavin grew more and more into a capable leader. Gavin eventually married Sera Faleur, and the couple adopted two boys who had been orphaned by the campaign against Grand Admiral Thrawn. Later, the couple gave birth to a daughter, a third son, and eventually a second daughter. Shortly after the birth of his second daughter, Gavin was chosen to succeed Wedge Antilles and Tycho Celchu as Commander of Rogue Squadron some twenty years after the Battle of Endor, and was in command of the squadron when the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy began. Despite his military background, Gavin found himself embroiled in a political struggle when Jaina Solo joined the Rogues. Her stature as a Jedi Knight put her at odds with many members of the Senate, and Gavin was forced to placed her on extended leave. He realized his mistake, however, and allowed Jaina to fly with the Rogues during the destruction of the Yuuzhan Vong shipwomb near the remains of Sernpidal. As the struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong intensified, Gavin and Rogue Squadron were called back to defend the planet Coruscant. Gavin found himself serving under the reinstated Colonel Tycho Celchu, as part of the Planetary Defense Force. In the wake of the defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong, Gavin promoted to Commodore and given command of the Star Destroyer Mon Mothma, and was serving under Nek Bwua'tu during the blockade of the Utegetu Nebula.
