Kyssek

Born on Dac just before the onset of the Clone War, war was all Kyssek knew, as the Quarren and Mon Cala fought first each other, but then on the same side against the CIS and later the Empire. Long before the creation of the Rebel Alliance, Dac was in open resistance against the Empire, a fight which claimed the lives of both Kyssek's parents. When the Alliance did form, Kyssek was one of many from his planet to join Admiral Gial Ackbar in fighting the Empire on fronts across the Galaxy. A gifted pilot, Kyssek flew his trusty X-Wing during the Battles of Yavin and Endor.

When the Alliance launched its offensive on Coruscant, Kyssek was among the fighter escort protecting rebel leaders such as Mon Mothma and [Organa (Caleb)|Leia Organa] as they landed. However, a devastating surprise attack from behind shattered the rebel plans. Kyssek barely survived a dogfight with several Blood Corps fighters but escaped to spirit Princess Leia away to safety. After that, he was recruited as the pilot for the special forces unit [Team|Casaya Team], which had the task of gathering intel on the yet-anonymous attackers.

Over the course of his time on Casaya Team, Kyssek bailed his compatriots out of many tight encounters through his excellent piloting of the team's ship the Hauler.

Non-Canon
Kyssek was a Rebel fighter pilot who fought in the Battle of Yavin and Endor, piloting his trusty X-Wing on each occasion. He was one of the volunteers to join Casaya Team, which had been assembled to rescue rebel leaders Han Solo and Leia Organa after they suddenly went MIA, shortly after the Battle of Endor. Kyssek served as the team's pilot, though he found himself in uncomfortable straights when he was forced into a field situation in order to rescue most of the team. As the pilot he did not spend as much time with the rest of the team members and didn't bond so much with them, save for perhaps his co-pilot [Fargost|Dyrell Fargost], but he was respected and valued for his contributions to the team, and was disliked by none.
