The Essential Guide to Star Wars Destiny Characters: Rogue Squadron

GALACTIC CIVIL WAR LINE-UP (5-19 ABY)
Wedge Antilles/Rogue Leader (Human male from Corellia); born to Jagged and Zena Antilles, Wedge was orphaned at the age of seventeen when his parents sacrificed their lives to save a fuel despot on Gus Treta. Antilles later joined the Rebel Alliance and flew for Red Squadron, under the callsign of Red Two. After the Battle of Yavin, Wedge, one of the few survivors, joined the original Rogue Squadron and flew as Rogue Three during the Battle of Hoth. A year later, he reformed Rogue Squadron into a new Red Squadron to honor those who died at Yavin during the Battle of Endor. Following the fall of Emperor Palpatine, Wedge reorganized Rogue Squadron once again, and led his fellow pilots in battles at Mygeeto and Had Abbadon. After the collapse of the Dark Empire, Rouge Squadron would continue to go on missions. In 19 ABY, Wedge thought it was time for new blood and stepped down as Rogue Leader, soon being promoted to admiral and eventually Supreme Commander.

Ibtisam/Rogue Two (Mon Calamari female from Dac); a rebellious fighter, Ibtisam joined the Rebel Alliance in order to fight against the Galactic Empire and their rule over her homeplanet. During the Galactic Civil War, Ibtisam flew a modified B-wing starfighter, which she flew during the Battle of Endor. Following the Empire's defeat, Ibtisam joined Wedge's reformed Rogue Squadron. She would fly for the New Republic in many battles, and later stepped down from her position to allow new pilots to get a chance. 
 Note: as you can see, Ibtisam doesn't die in my stories like she does in the canonical storyline. 

Nrin Vakil/Rogue Three (Quarren male from Dac); like most Quarren, Nrin Vakil was a stubborn and prideful man, and often came into conflict with Ibtisam, whose species rivaled with the Quarren. However, during their career in Rogue Squadron, Vakil and Ibtisam got over their natural instincts and became close friends. It is likely they began living together following the fall of the Dark Empire.

Xarcce Huwla/Rogue Four (Tunroth female from Saloch); unlike most people, Xarcce Huwla was rather hesitant to join Rogue Squadron, due to them often being assigned to dangerous missions. However, her friends convinced her and Huwla began flying for Rogue Squadron. During the Battle of Had Abbadon, Huwla's fears came true and the female Tunroth was shot down, either by a Super Star Destroyer or a World Devastator (I can't remember much from the volume she appeared in; I wrote that, like, a year ago (despite me typing out a few months ago)). She was temporarily replaced by the Twi'lek Warat Torr, and then by Bror Jace (a Human male from Thyferra).

Wes Janson/Rogue Five (Human male from Taanab); originally flying for the Tierfon Yellow Aces, Wes Janson was transferred to the original Rogue Squadron by the time of the Battle of Hoth, gunning for Wedge Antilles. A few months later, he flew as Rogue Six and later as Red Six during the Battle of Endor. When Wedge reformed the squadron, he placed Janson as Rogue Five. Wes Janson would take part in many missions and battles during the war against the Empire before resigning in 19 ABY. During the Imperial Sith War, he would lead the Taanab Yellow Aces. 

Derek 'Hobbie' Klivian/Rogue Six (Human male from Ralltiir); born under the rule of the Galactic Empire, Derek Klivian enlisted into the Imperial Academy and was assigned to the Rand Ecliptic along with Biggs Darklighter and Tycho Celchu, working under Soontir Fel. Later on, Klivian and Biggs committed mutiny and joined the Rebel Alliance. Saddened by Biggs' death at Yavin, Klivian decided to join Luke Skywalker's Rogue Squadron and flew as Rogue Four. During the Battle of Endor, he was flew under the call-sign of Red Four, and later as Rogue Six under Wedge's reorganized Rogue Squadron. It is unknown what he did during the Imperial Sith War.

Feylis Ardele/Rogue Seven (Human female from Commenor); before joining the Rebel Alliance, Feylis Ardele was a pilot for the Galactic Empire. However, when her family was killed by the Empire, Ardele defected sometime before the Battle of Endor. Because of her experience in flying TIE fighters, Ardele was chosen to fly for Rogue Squadron by Wedge. She fought in the Battles of Mygeeto and Had Abbadon, and was killed in the latter. She was briefly succeeded by the Nautolan Seph Kisto and then by the Corellian Myn Donos.

Erisi Dlarit/Rogue Eight (Human female from Thyferra); an Imperial spy, Erisi Dlarit was sent by Director Ysanne Isard, one of the Imperial warlords who took over the Empire following Palpatine's death, and was tasked with spying on the New Republic. However, she was soon discovered in 7 ABY and was shot down as an enemy fighter by the rest of Rogue Squadron.

Vin Sadoon/Rogue Eight (Kel Dor male from Dorin); a former freighter pilot, Vin Sadoon, along with Toah Jarsan, Seph Kisto, and Warat Torr, enlisted into the New Republic Defense Force in 6 ABY. Wedge found Sadoon to be the most experienced and talented out of the four of them, and placed him as Rogue Eight following Dlarit's betrayal and subsequent death. Sadoon would fly for Rogue Squadron in the Battle of Had Abbadon and Empress Teta. He resigned in 19 ABY like the others, but soon returned during the Imperial Sith War following Leth Liav's death at Dac.

Tycho Celchu/Rogue Nine (Human male from Alderaan); born in the midst of the Clone Wars, Tycho Celchu enlisted into the Imperial Academy and was trained by Captain Soontir Fel, alongside Biggs Darklighter and Derek Klivian. Celchu graduated as a lieutenant and was assigned to the Accuser as a TIE pilot. After Alderaan was destroyed by the Death Star, Celchu abandoned the Empire and joined the Rebel Alliance, eventually becoming a member of Rogue Squadron, flying as Rogue Five. During the Battle of Endor, Celchu flew for Green Squadron and later joined Wedge's reformed Rogue Squadron. After taking part in many battles during the Galactic Civil War, Celchu resigned from the squadron and became an adviser for new pilots of Rogue Squadron during the Imperial Sith War.

Corran Horn/Rogue Ten (Human male from Corellia); the son of the Jedi Knight Valin Halcyon, Corran Horn was a student of Luke Skywalker's at the Jedi Praxeum. He joined Rogue Squadron around 7 ABY, since extra pilots were needed, and flew in the battles at Had Abbadon and Empress Teta. Unlike most of the other Rogues, Corran stayed with Rogue Squadron during the Imperial Sith War, although he was often filled in by the Gand Ooryl Qrygg so he could complete his Jedi training.

Lujayne Forge/Rogue Eleven (Human female from Kessel); the daughter of Kassar and Myda Forge, Lujayne was one of three pilots added to Rogue Squadron's roster following the Battle of Mygeeto. After taking part in the battles against the Dark Empire, Forge later resigned.

Andoorni Hui/Rogue Twelve (Rodian female from Rodia); born under the Empire's rule, Andoorni Hui chose not to support her homeworld's ruler, Navik the Red, who was establishing ties with the Empire, and instead joined the Rebel Alliance. Around 7 ABY, Hui, along with her friend Lujayne Forge and Corran Horn, was added to Rogue Squadron's roaster. It is unknown if she survived the Battle of Empress Teta, or what her life was after resigning if she did.
IMPERIAL SITH WAR LINE-UP (20 ABY-)
Gavin Darklighter/Rogue Leader (Human male from Tatooine); cousins with Biggs Darklighter, Gavin Darklighter joined the New Republic to honor his late cousin, and was chosen by Wedge Antilles to lead the new Rogue Squadron in 20 ABY. Gavin would lead his fellow Rogues throughout the Imperial Sith War, at battles such as Dac and (possibly) Kashyyyk. He later joined with all of the Republic's current squadrons to fight against the Empire's full scale invasion on Coruscant. After the end of the war, Gavin eventually resigned and was promoted to admiral.

Kral Nevil/Rogue Two (Quarren male from Dac); not much is known of Kral Nevil's life, other than that he has a wife and a son named Turl. He flew for Rogue Squadron in many battles, including Dac and Coruscant.

Vac J'bath/Rogue Three (Bith male from Clak'dor VII); ever since he was a child, Vac J'bath dreamed of being a famous musician like Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes. However, when he saw the horrors of Empress Teta's destruction on the HoloNet, J'bath decided he wanted to join the Republic. Training as pilot, the young Bith was eventually assigned to Rogue Squadron a few years before Darth Vorath's Sith attacked the galaxy. During the Battle of Coruscant, J'bath's X-wing fighter was shot down over the planet. It is unknown if he survived the crash or not.

Warat Torr/Rogue Four (Twi'lek male from Ryloth); a friend of Seph Kisto and Vin Sadoon, Warat Torr signed up for Rogue Squadron in 6 ABY, but didn't quite make the cut, and was instead assigned to Green Squadron. In 10 ABY, after Huwla's death, Torr briefly filled in for her before being replaced by Bror Jace. In 20 ABY, he was chosen by Gavin Darklighter to fly for the new Rogue Squadron roaster, and Torr was able to fly alongside Kisto and Sadoon. During the Battle of Courscant, Torr's fighter was shot down along with J'bath's. His fate is currently unknown.

Inyri Forge/Rogue Five (Human female from Kessel); the younger sister of Lujayne Forge, Inyri was vouched for by her sister and was thus chosen to fly for the Rogue Squadron's new roaster. She survived the two battles at Dac and Coruscant and was promoted to major following the war's end.

Jak Denon/Rogue Six (Human male from Kuat); born to a wealthy family, Jak Denon, unlike most Kuati, was not a cutthroat individual like his family was. He enlisted into the New Republic Defense Force and was chosen to fly for Rogue Squadron in 20 ABY.

Seph Kisto/Rogue Seven (Nautolan male from Glee Anselm); against his family's wishes, Seph Kisto left his homeplanet so he could explore the rest of the gaalxy, becoming a spacer and a pilot in the process. Like Warat Torr, Kisto signed up for Rogue Squadron but did not make the cut, although he did temporarily succeed Feylis Ardele after her death. He was later chosen by Gavin Darklighter to fly for Rogue Squadron after the Krish Ligg Panat died during the Battle of Dac.

Leth Liav/Rogue Eight (Sullustan female from Sullust); in 20 ABY, Leth Liav was chosen to be part of Rogue Squadron's new roaster in the years prior to the Imperial Sith War. During the Battle of Dac, Liav was among the many pilots killed by the Sith and the Empire's forces. She was succeeded by the Kel Dor Vin Sadoon (see above).

Cecilia Hulis/Rogue Nine (Miraluka female); not much is known of Cecilia Hulis, other than that she was chosen to replace Alinn Varth after her death at Dac.

Corran Horn/Rogue Ten; see first line-up

Jaina Solo/Rogue Eleven (Human female from Coruscant); the daughter of Han and Leia Organa Solo, Jaina Solo, a Jedi Knight of the New Jedi Order, inherited her father and uncle's skills as a pilot, and was thus chosen to fly for Rogue Squadron, flying during the Battles of Dantooine and Dac. During the Battle of Coruscant, she chose to join her fellow Jedi Knights in the battle on land.

Lensi/Rogue Twelve (Duros male from Duro); Lensi was not chosen to fly for Rogue Squadron until around 24 ABY, since he was still quite young at the time. He survived all three known battles that the squadron took part in.
