Legend

a native of Tiisheran and a major in the Alliance at the time of the Battle of Hoth, Derlin was in command of the security and operations of Echo Base. Bren was the son of Galen Derlin, and became convinced that the Empire was evil after the murder of his father. He immediately joined the Alliance, in order to bring justice back to the galaxy. He took on whatever roles needed to be filled, often working for or with Carlist Roeekan. Because of his heroic actions in evacuating the Alliance's base on Nentan, Derlin was promoted to Captain by Rieekan himself. Derlin then served under Major Monnon on the Corps of Engineers before being promoted and assigned to Echo Base. It was Derlin who ordered the base secured, even though Luke Skywalker and Han Solo were still missing out in the snow-covered wastes. Derlin served as Han Solo's second-in-command during the assault on the second Death Star's shield generator on the Forest Moon of Endor. He remained with the armed forces after the Battle of Endor, and was eventually promoted to Colonel before serving on Coruscant when Thrawn attacked the planet. He earned the rank of Brigadier in the New Republic Defense Fleet before retiring. He later became the commander of the Alliance Veterans Victory Association, and maintained a position of trust and power within the New Republic.
