There, he briefly engaged Horn, who was undercover as an Invid pilot and searching for his wife, but Horn evaded him. Darklighter was overjoyed, however, to hear the voice of Skywalker break in, assuring him help was on the way. All the pilots were sent down in independent cells, none knowing if any others were along. Afterwards, Darklighter landed and was debriefed by Antilles. Rogue Squadron's next mission was to take Borleias, a world which would provide a stepping-stone with which to take Coruscant, capital of the Empire. Darklighter returned with several cruisers and smaller ships. Biggs was in the Battle of Yavin scene, where he joined his childhood friend Luke Skywalker and Luke's other wingman, Wedge, in their attack run on the first Death Star. [7], Approximately one year later, in 9 ABY, Grand Admiral Thrawn began his campaign to retake the galaxy for the Empire. Solo then attempted to bear down on Darklighter with the Force, causing him to feel the impatience that the newly made—but still secret—Sith Lord felt. [2] Darklighter continued serving in Rogue Squadron; the scattering of the Dark Jedi Desann's forces from the Valley of the Jedi, defense of Skywalker's Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4, and destruction of the Doomgiver in 12 ABY and the evacuation of Thanta Zilbra ahead of the system's destruction by Centerpoint Station's "starbuster" superweapon in 18 ABY were only a few of many Rogue Squadron actions as the Empire receded into the Imperial Remnant and the warlords and would-be dictators were slowly but surely eradicated. scene - Star Wars: The Complete Saga - Deleted Scenes (Toche Station, Old Lady on Tatooine and Alt. [2][8][26] During the Black Fleet Crisis in 16 and 17 ABY, Darklighter's brother-in-law was killed fighting the Yevetha. Pwoe intended the group to sacrifice their lives buying time for his party to build up their positions and negotiate terms of peace with the Vong. Darklighter was somewhat surprised at taking on such a strong target. Silya Darklighter (sister-in-law) Darklighter was unconcerned about that. Only in extreme situations, such as the New Republic's refusal to move against Isard, the unwillingness of Fey'lya's administration to mount an effective defense against the Yuuzhan Vong, and the issuing of arrest warrants for the Skywalkers—combined with growing resentment over what he perceived as gross mismanagement of the war effort—was Darklighter willing to risk his commission or, in the final case, seriously consider a coup attempt. When the Solo Fleet planned an ambush of Zsinj and his recently stolen Super Star Destroyer Razor's Kiss, Darklighter and the Rogues flew against Zsinj's fighter escort, engaging in a grueling dogfight against fighters that included elements of Zsinj's skilled impostor 181st Imperial Fighter Group. In one particularly gruesome instance, Darklighter found an infected Gamorrean, Tolra, who had barricaded himself inside his house to avoid spreading the infection. Antilles planned to hold Borleias against the Vong as long as he could, providing a secure route for escape from Coruscant and destroying as many enemies as possible. What Darklighter did not know was that Sei'lar had survived the crash and had been picked up, along with Janson, by Booster Terrik, Mirax Terrik Horn, and Iella Wessiri aboard the Errant Venture, who arrived just after the battle, having concluded an ambush was likely. Known to the Rogues only as Blackmoon, Borleias was to be taken in an operation overseen by General Laryn Kre'fey. Darklighter correctly guessed Solo and Skywalker's condition, but demanded she surrender nonetheless. He was even more astonished when he found himself attacked by an asteroid-like craft using completely foreign technology.
