Resistance Starfighter Corps
With few capital ships at their disposal, the Resistance relies on its Starfighter Corps as its primary method of attack and defense against the First Order. Led by Commander Poe Dameron, the fighter pilots of the Resistance are a mix of veterans of the war against the Empire, disillusioned New Republic pilots, and eager recruits who believe wholeheartedly in the cause or have felt the brutality of the First Order firsthand.Fighter Pilots

Portrayed by: Greg Grunberg
Appearances: Aftermath | Life Debt | Empire's End | Blade Squadron: Jakku | Bloodline | Join the Resistance | Poe Dameron | The Force Awakens | Resistance Reborn | The Rise of Skywalker | A Eulogy for Snap
Born on the Outer Rim world of Akiva, Temmin is the son of Alliance war hero Norra Wexley and Brentin Wexley. After the Battle of Endor, he joined his mother as part of a special New Republic unit devoted to hunting down Imperial war criminals. Thirty years after Endor, Temmin joined the Resistance to combat the growing threat of the First Order, serving in Blue Squadron and becoming known as the organization's best reconnaissance pilot. He also served as the second-in-command of the Special Ops Black Squadron, which he command when Poe was on other assignments.
- Ace Pilot: He's a highly skilled reconnaissance pilot. He also helps Poe Dameron take down Starkiller Base in his X-wing, and lives to tell the tale.
- The Artful Dodger: In his youth, Temmin was quite involved in the local black market.
- Band of Brothers: With the rest of Black Squadron.
- Battle Couple: With Karé after they get together until she breaks up with him out of fear their relationship was affecting their work. However, she later reconsiders and they get married, cementing their status.
- Call Sign: Flew as Blue One for the Resistance. In Black Squadron, he flies as Black Two until being appointed as Black Leader after the destruction of Starkiller Base.
- Character Death: He is shot down during the Battle of Exogol before The Cavalry shows up.
- Character Tic: His nervous snapping, which is how he got his nickname.
- Child Soldier: He began serving the New Republic military when he was only fifteen, although he was working alongside his mother under special circumstances.
- Due to the Dead: After the Battle of Exogol, the surviving pilots of Black Squadron gather together and hold a memorial for Snap on Ajan Kloss.
- Early-Bird Cameo: His childhood adventures are detailed in Aftermath trilogy.
- Expy: Of Jek Porkins, being a hefty, bearded X-wing pilot.
- Gadgeteer Genius: He was something of an electronics whiz when he was kid. In fact, he managed to do the seemingly impossible feat of turning a B-1 Battle Droid (the skinny basic droids from the Prequel Trilogy) into a terrifying killing machine. In The Force Awakens he is shown performing maintenance on his own X-wing.
- Generation Xerox: His mom, Norra Wexley, was a Rebel war hero who flew as a wingman for the Millennium Falcon during the attack on the Second Death Star. Despite some initial Refusal of the Call, he ends up following in his mom's footsteps, first joining her special commando unit and eventually flying as Poe's wingman for the attack on Starkiller Base.
- Happily Married: Marries Karé during their tenure together in Black Squadron. Poe notes that despite their differences, the two of them are a perfect couple.
- In-Series Nickname: Snap, which he got because he has a habit of snapping his fingers when nervous or frustrated.
- Jumped at the Call: He was part of the founding group of Resistance members.
- The Mentor: He was Jessika Pava's. She initially failed her live-fire piloting test to join the military, but Snap saw potential in her and used his connections to get her in and took responsibility for training her himself, which led to Jess becoming one of the best pilots in the Resistance.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Has this reaction in Aftermath when his plan to stay on Akiva by selling out Sinjir and Jas to the Empire blows up in his face and he learns the hard way about making deals with Imperial Stormtroopers breathing down your neck.
- My Greatest Failure: While leading Black Squadron in the aftermath of the destruction of Starkiller Base on a mission to find allies for the Resistance, Snap is tricked by King Siroc of Pastoria into eliminating a rival who opposed the First Order under the belief they were actually a pro-First Order terrorist. This and other failures on the mission make Snap question his leadership skills and make him understanding of Poe's mutiny against Holdo when they reunite.
- Old Soldier: He is closer to fifty than forty, and he has been serving in the Rebel Alliance/New Republic/Resistance military forces since he was fifteen. He takes exception when Karé Kun compares him to L'ulo, another veteran of the war against the Empire who is much older than Temmin.
- Parental Abandonment: His father was taken from him by the Empire and his mother joined the Rebel Alliance when he was a little kid. It takes him awhile to get over this and reconcile with his mom.
- Put on a Bus: According to All There in the Manual, he was likely sent to other evac points or on missions after the destruction of Starkiller Base along with other pilots like Jessika, which is why we don’t see him in The Last Jedi.
- Rank Up: He is promoted to from Captain to Major between The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker.
- Refusal of the Call: He originally wanted nothing to do with the Rebel Alliance/New Republic or with his mother or even leaving Akiva, having become quite adapt at dealing with Akiva's criminal element. Circumstances and a major mistake (see My God, What Have I Done?) eventually cause him to rethink this attitude.
- Ship Tease: Nearly admits to Karé that he has feelings for her when Temmin thought he was going to die. She confronts him about it when they return to base and reveals she also has feelings for him, leading to the two to start dating.
- Tragic Keepsake: Keeps a copy of Mister Bones' code with him as a good luck charm. This comes in handy when Poe is stranded with a BX-commando droid that refuses to fight: Temmin transmits the code from orbit to the droid, who becomes a murder-machine and slaughters most of Terex's men.
- Undying Loyalty: He has known Leia since he was a teenager and has complete faith in her leadership. The reveal of Darth Vader as her father did nothing to shake that loyalty and he was one of the first pilots to join the Resistance when she formed it.
- Wartime Wedding: He and Karé are married by Leia immediately after they get back together, knowing that the time for such things in the Resistance is short and that open conflict with the First Order looms close.
- Wingman: He was Poe's longest serving and most frequent wingman. After Snap's death, Poe praises him as the best wingman he ever had flown with.

Callsign: Blue Three, Black Three
Portrayed by: Jessica Henwick
Appearances: The Weapon of a Jedi | Poe Dameron | The Force Awakens | Resistance Reborn | A Eulogy for Snap
"Pava. Jessika Pava. Blue Three."
A human female from Dandoran, Jess is a skilled X-Wing pilot and mechanic. While normally assigned to Blue Squadron, she is also a member of Black Squadron, Poe's secret special-ops unit dedicated to locating Lor San Tekka.
- Ace Pilot: Like Poe, Wexley, and Nunb, Jess is one of precious few pilots to come out of the assault on Starkiller Base still in one piece. On those grounds alone, she definitely qualifies.
- Action Girl: Aside from being a skilled pilot, Jess is also skilled with a blaster. During Black Squadron's infiltration of Megalox prison Jess' quick thinking saves them when she uses gas grenades to take out a large number of prisoners attacking them.
- Ascended Fangirl: She's been a huge admirer of Luke Skywalker since she was a child.
- Band of Brothers: With the rest of Black Squadron.
- Badass in Distress: During Jess, Karé, and Suralinda Javos' mission to Spalex, they are captured by the First Order. They escape by Jess and Karé running to distract the guards, allowing Suralinda to reprogram her camdroids to crash into the stormtroopers from several stories high, killing them.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Implied. When Suralinda asks why she modifies all her ships, Jess has a flashback to her family in a ship with her mother reacting to something going wrong while another vessel approaches, and only responds "Control." A subsequent issue has another flashback that shows her family captured and bound by an alien, presumably to be sold as slaves.
- Early-Bird Cameo: She appeared in the Framing Story of the novel The Weapon of a Jedi ahead of her appearance in the movie.
- Face Death with Dignity: During the battle to prevent the First Order from capturing Lor San Tekka, Jess' X-Wing was disabled and a missile was coming directly at her. She made peace with her death, noting it would at least be quick and the mission was a success, but her astromech
- Hero-Worshipper: Of Luke Skywalker, and she freaks out a bit when she meets C-3PO and realizes who he is and that he served with Luke.
- In-Series Nickname: The droids of the Resistance have taken to calling her "The Great Destroyer" due to the number of astromechs she has lost on missions.
- The Jinx: The astromech droids of the Resistance consider her one, as every droid she is assigned gets destroyed on Black Squadron's missions. Eventually they refuse to work with her, forcing Jess to fly without an astromech. Fellow Resistance pilot Zari Bangel tries to set up a meeting between Jess and the astromechs, but they all leave except for BB-8, who flips out his lighter to her as either a thumbs up or something else.Jess: Are we sure that means what we think it means?
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In the Poe Dameron comics, Jess, Kare, and Suralinda recorded the First Order occupying a planet in order to show the New Republic the First Order is a threat. However, she freaks out when she sees pirates mistreating slaves, and starts attacking them. Kare and Suralinda join in and the recording is destroyed.
- Plagued by Nightmares: Jessika Pava has nightmares about whatever happened to her family. When Poe wakes her up from a nap, she shoots awake and looks terrified, worrying Poe about her mental state, but unfortunately, the Resistance is in such a bad place at the moment there literally are no therapists to help her.
- Put on a Bus: According to All There in the Manual, after the destruction of Starkiller Base, she and most of Poe's other surviving pilots were reassigned to other evacuation points or on missions, which is why she isn't seen in the events of The Last Jedinote . The final arc of Poe Dameron features that mission, with Black Squadron attempting to locate allies for the Resistance, and they rejoin the main Resistance forces in Resistance Reborn.
- Talented, but Trained: She initially failed to join the New Republic military because she failed on her live-fire piloting test, but Snap saw potential in her and pulled some strings to get her in. He then personally trained Jess which resulted in her becoming one of the best pilots in the Resistance.
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Dislikes working with Suralinda due to her initial deceit when joining the Resistance and her cynical and often embellished propaganda stories. Jess does save her life on Ikkrukk, but Poe notices that despite that Jess still does not personally like Suralinda.
- Tomboyish Ponytail: Wears her hair in a ponytail all the time, which makes sense as Jess is a mechanic and pilot who needs to keep her hair out of her face.
- Tuckerization: Jessika Pava, played by Jessica Henwick.
- Twofer Token Minority: In addition to being a woman who is an X-Wing pilot, she's one of the very few notable Asian characters in the franchise (the others being Commander Sato and Sabine Wren from Rebels).
- Wrench Wench: She is a talented mechanic and is often assigned to maintenance shifts at the Resistance base due to her skills. She mentions to Poe that she has even found a way to increase the efficiency of the power convertors on her X-Wing by fifteen percent. Jess uses those upgrades to fly circles around First Order TIEs on Ovanis, causing them to crash while chasing her.

- Heroic Sacrifice: Goes out fighting to protect escape pods that are under fire from Terex's pirate crew.
- Honorary Uncle: To Poe Dameron.
- Humanoid Alien: Duros like L'ulo have a human body shape but a distinctively alien appearance.
- Killed Mid-Sentence: He is in the middle of gloating over destroying several pirate fighters when his own ship is destroyed.L'ulo: Ha! That's how a Rebel pilot does it, you low-down, dirty—
- Leeroy Jenkins: In the Poe Dameron comics, he fires on some First Order TIE fighters, starting a battle, despite having orders to keep the situation peaceful. Poe gently rebukes him for this later.
- Nice Guy: Immediately gives permission for Shara to head down to Endor's moon and discover if her husband is alive, and acts as a reasonable and supportive friend to her on many other occasions.
- Platonic Life-Partners: With Kes. He's the only one who stuck around even after Kes pushed everyone away after Shara died.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Although the fleet is still on alert after the Death Star is destroyed, L'ulo gives permission to Shara to take a shuttle to Endor and find her husband.
- Red Herring: There are hints he might be the mole in Black Squadron as a way to provoke open conflict with the First Order. He is innocent, and Oddy is revealed to be the mole.

- Undying Loyalty: To Kes and Poe. In Free Fall, L'ulo dropped everything to help Kes find Poe after he ran away from home.

Suralinda Javos
Suralinda Javos
Species: Squamatan
Callsigns: Black Four
A former soldier in the New Republic Navy who became an investigative journalist for Galaxy Beacon's Hosnian Prime offices. She contacts her old friend Poe Dameron claiming to have information on the First Order.
- The Atoner: As penance for lying to Poe so that he would take her to the Resistance's base, all so that she could boost her reputation as a reporter by revealing it to the galaxy and only stopping short of doing so after seeing how necessary the Resistance really was, she admits to everything and offers to do whatever they ask of her, no matter how menial, as long as she can help.
- Green-Skinned Space Babe: She is from a humanoid species with blue skin and pointed ears.
- Pragmatic Hero: As part of her job in crafting pro-Resistance and anti-First Order propaganda, Javos has little problem with bending the truth or leaving out certain details to present a more clear cut "good vs. evil" story, like framing Oddy's death as a heroic sacrifice to save his friends from the First Order while leaving out his role as a spy who had betrayed the Resistance due to the kidnapping of his wife.
- Reptiles Are Abhorrent: Morally ambiguous, at least. She tells Dameron she has information on the First Order. In reality, she has no story and is hoping to find the Resistance's base. She pays off mercenaries to fake a First Order attack but when the real First Order shows up and massacres a bar full of people, she decides to join the Resistance.
- Rubber Woman: To a slight extent: she can extend the length of her arms and legs by a few feet, giving her a longer reach than most humanoids, although the process seems somewhat painful judging by the noises it makes. Javos uses this skill at one point to climb to the top of a cave and hold herself there to ambush several First Order collaborators. She's also shown to be able to rotate her head a full 180 degrees.
- Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids!: When the rest of Black Squadron voices their discomfort with Javos' planned propaganda piece about Oddy and how it bends the truth, she scoffs at their naiveté.Javos: It tells the story of Oddy Muva, ace pilot and hero of the Resistance, who saved Black Squadron and single-handedly took down an entire First Order cruiser on his own. And he did it all for love. I think that's a pretty good story, don't you?
Poe: Yeah, but it's not exactly…
Javos: True? Grow up Poe Dameron. There's a war on. - Sixth Ranger: To Black Squadron, only officially joining well after its establishment.
- Super Spit: One of the abilities of her species. Comes in handy when she escapes from First Order custody, and she later uses it again to burn the faces of several Ikkrukkians collaborating with the First Order.

- Big Damn Heroes: Saves Namir Hazram from being captured by the Empire in Twilight Company by ambushing the Stormtroopers arresting him.

Nunb: I think they're jamming us.

- Old Soldier: With thirty years between the battles of Endor and Starkiller Base, Nunb has been piloting and fighting for the Rebellion and Resistance longer than some of his wingmates in Poe's squadron have been alive.

- Mythology Gag: His helmet has the same pattern as Biggs Darklighter's helmet during the Battle of Yavin in A New Hope.

- Ascended Extra: He was an unnamed Abednedo pilot in the background of The Force Awakens, but becomes Poe's wingman and fellow conspirator in the next film.
- Hidden Weapons: Keeps a pair of vibro-knuckles tucked away in his boot.
- Intelligible Unintelligible: Due to repeatedly misplacing his translator device, C'ai is only heard speaking his native Abednedish. Thankfully, Poe and most of the other pilots learned enough of the language from all the other Abednedo in the Resistance so they do not need the translator to understand him. He appears to have located his translator device in The Rise of Skywalker, as he is heard speaking Basic.
- Undying Loyalty: To Poe, alongside the rest of the Resistance pilots, supporting his mutiny against Vice Admiral Holdo despite his demotion.

- Guile Heroine: She's not above bluffing to intimidate enemies, as she convinces J-Sec's fleet to surrender after threatening to fire the Corvus's concussion missiles (the ship is not, in fact, armed with such equipment).

- Tragic Keepsake: Del's New Republic flight jacket, which she wears even before realizing her dad is gone.

- Ace Pilot: She used to be a professional racing pilot and won the Junior Sabers, a galaxy-famous race for younger pilots. Greer was so talented that she actually caught the attention of Han when the two tied in a race he was flying incognito.
- Don't You Dare Pity Me!: Her attitude towards anyone who finds out she has bloodburn, the incurable illness that she knows will kill her sooner or later.
- Hard-Drinking Party Girl: Averted. Pamarthens have a well-deserved reputation for this, but Greer is actually almost stoic. Joph is actually stunned to learn she is from Pamarthe since she works in an office and acts so different from the stereotype.
- Heroic Sacrifice: At the end of Bloodline, she takes a slow one by insisting on joining the Resistance as a fighter pilot, even though she knows that her only chance to survive her illness is to avoid just the kind of stress involved in being part of an underground militia.
- Undying Loyalty: As loyal as she is to Leia, Greer's greatest respect and admiration is for Han. She has doubts about Leia upon learning her true parentage, which are only put at ease when she learns Han has known for three decades and never cared.
Joph Seastriker
Lieutenant Joph Seastriker
Species: Human
Homeworld: Gatalenta
Appearances: Bloodline
Hailing from Gatalenta, Joph was a member of the New Republic's Precision Air Team stationed at the Senatorial complex on Hosnian Prime. After being assigned as a pilot to aide Senators Leia Organa and Ransolm Casterfo to investigate increased criminal activity around Ryloth, Joph was drawn into a series of events that culminated in the founding of the Resistance.
- Ironic Fear: Despite being a pilot Joph does not handle heights very well, particularly the rickety and very long wooden bridges that link the islands and mountains of Pamarthe. He explains to Greer that flying doesn't bother him since he is control of his ship, which he does not have over the ancient bridges.
- Jumped at the Call: He was extremely excited about being assigned to work with Leia on a dangerous assignment, later volunteering for more off the books investigations. In the end, Joph becomes one of the founding members of the Resistance, recognizing that there is a hidden threat to the New Republic that no one else but Leia and her allies will respond to.
- Luke Nounverber: In grand Star Wars tradition.
- Military Maverick: Shows a few signs of this. For instance, when slicing the satellites around Ryloth that send Rinnrivin Di information, he "modifies" his orders from simply getting the data they have on them to sending them updates on Di's positon as well, a risky move that would be a lot easier to detect. He manages to pull it off, while Leia orders him to never modify his orders again without running it by her and then congratulating him on the idea and succeeding.
- Tender Tears: Gatalentans do not consider crying anything to be ashamed of, and in fact believe it to be a sign of a good and caring heart. Hence, Joph begins crying when he finds out about Greer having bloodburn.
Seftin Vanik
Lieutenant Seftin Vanik
Species: Human
Homeworld: Messert
Portrayed by: Joseph Altin
Appears in: The Rise of Skywalker
Formerly a flyer in an aerial circus, Vanik was recruited into the Resistance by Poe and quickly distinguished himself as an A-Wing pilot.
- Ace Pilot: He was sought out for recruitment by Poe and encouraged to join after witnessing one of his prior shows and becoming impressed by his skills, which is no easy thing to accomplish.
- All There in the Manual: All of his backstory comes from supplemental materials released around the time of the film.
- Character Death: He perishes during the initial starfighter assault on Exogol.
- In-Series Nickname: His penchant for getting up close to enemy fighters to destroy them earned him the nickname "Shield Cooker" as his fighter's shield were routinely cooked by flying through the explosions.
- Remember the New Guy?: He is one of many new Resistance characters who appear in The Rise of Skywalker, having been recruited during the rebuilding phase after the Battle of Crait.

Species: Human
Appearances: Droids Unplugged
A Resistance pilot with a crush on tech officer Peet Deretalia.
- Crash-Into Hello: With Peet Deretalia due to BB-8's efforts.
- Twice Shy: Both he and Peet are too shy to express their feelings for one another until BB-8 intervenes.
- Unwanted Assistance: BB-8 keeps sabotaging his X-Wing to get him to talk to the tech officer he has a crush on.
Zari Bangel
Zari Bangel
Species: Human
Appearances: Bloodline | Poe Dameron
A Resistance pilot. She and some others were personally vouched by fellow pilot Joph Seastriker to General Organa as the first new members of the Resistance.
- The Bus Came Back: She was only briefly in Bloodline, but ended returning for at least one issue in Poe Dameron.
- Jumped at the Call: Joined the Resistance as one of the first members of its Starfighter Corps, having previously expressed interest to Joph in helping Leia out with any secret missions she undertook to defend the New Republic.
Venisa Doza
Commander Venisa Doza
Species: Human
Voiced by: Tasia Valenza
Appearances: Resistance
Yeager's old comrade, Torra's mother, and Captain Doza's wife. A veteran pilot for the Rebellion, she now serves in the Resistance as the commander of Jade Squadron.
- Ace Pilot: She was a pilot for the Rebellion, and her career inspired her daughter, Torra, to follow in her footsteps.
- Affectionate Nickname: "Wingmate", for Torra.
- All There in the Manual: It was revealed in Women of the Galaxy (which was released during the first half of Resistance Season 1) that she was a pilot for the Rebel Alliance before it was properly revealed in the show.
- Armor-Piercing Question: Asks Tam what she really wants, which further casts doubts in her loyalty to the First Order when she realizes all she can answer are First Order recruitment points.
- Blood Knight: She nostalgically reminisces to Torch about their successful rebel missions and how cool they were, and she cheerfully tells Tam to stay clear of the hangar as she makes her grand escape from Tierny's ship.
- Good Parents: Torra loves her dearly and became a pilot to follow in her footsteps. Venisa left for the Resistance because she wanted to make sure Torra had a safe future.
- Happily Married: With Imanuel. According to Yeager, the two were inseparable ever since she got him to leave the Empire.
- I Have Your Wife: Due to the highly sensitive nature of her work, Yeager and her family (later joined by Kaz) have to keep her status and identity in the dark to everyone in order to prevent this (i.e. being held as a hostage). As a sign of trust, she confesses her identity to Tam, who understands what would happen if she reported this to her superiors.
- Ink-Suit Actor: Resembles her voice actress, Tasia Valenza.
- It's Not You, It's My Enemies: Six years ago, she left her family to join the Resistance and had to cut off communication with them due to the highly sensitive nature of her work. However, they do reunite every year at some undisclosed location on Torra's birthday.
- Like Parent, Like Child: Her charm, playfulness, and fierceness were definitely things she passed down to Torra. From Yeager's description alone, Kaz makes the comparison, to which Yeager responds that he has no idea.
- Lovable Rogue: She's a rare female example of this in the franchise. She's a reckless and smooth-talking heroic pilot who knows how to use a blaster and make a slick escape — does this remind you of anyone?
- Love Redeems: She convinced Imanuel to defect from the Empire.
- Magnetic Hero: Whatever it was, she convinced Imanuel to leave the Empire. In the present day, she also finds ways to shake Tam and Rucklin's faith in the First Order as well.
- Mama Bear:
- She left her family for the Resistance in order to protect them from the First Order, specifically so that Torra could live in a safer galaxy.
- She threatens to do in a stormtrooper if he wrecks her X-Wing.
- Meaningful Name: Her name is a corruption of "Vanessa", which is a name used for a genus of butterflies, befitting not only a pilot, but also someone who helps change people for the better.
- Missing Mom: She's Torra's mother, but she left six years prior to "Rendezvous Point" to join the Resistance.
- No, You: Upon being captured by Tierny and her men, the agent demands that she identify herself, to which our pilot replies "You first." Tierny is not amused.
- One Degree of Separation: She ends up having this to Kaz, as she happens to be Hugh and Norath's squadron commander, two people with separate connections to him.
- Parents as People: When the First Order became a known threat, she left to join the Resistance in order to protect people including her daughter, but her husband disagreed and wanted to stay out of it, not wanting to get involved in another war. Though they've had countless arguments about it, they still love and care about each other and Torra dearly.
- Rousing Speech: Gives one at a briefing in and later at the end of "Rebuilding the Resistance". Yeager and Doza note that she used to give these all the time back in the day.
- Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: Downplayed. Her husband is more grounded while she is rather suave, but that it isn't to say that she isn't serious either.
- Shout-Out: To Ōban Star-Racers, in which the protagonist (whom Torra appears to be based off of) has a Missing Mom, who is The Lost Lenore to the protagonist's father and was also an Ace Pilot like her daughter.
- Starcrossed Lovers: During the Galactic Civil War, she was a rebel pilot while her future husband was an Imperial officer until he decided to defect for a certain personal reason. Yeager mentions that the two were inseparable.
- Strong Family Resemblance: Despite the two apparently having never met, Tam thinks she looks familiar, almost certainly because she's Torra's mother.
- Unwanted Assistance: Aware of what she means to Yeager and that she has no idea what she's gotten herself into, she forcibly tries to take Tam with her back to the Colossus, but when Tam continues to be uncooperative, Venisa understands that she can't force her to return to the side of good and lets her stay but tells her to remember what she said about her true loyalties.
- Walking Spoiler: It's hard to talk about her without also talking about Captain Doza's past and that she's a veteran rebel pilot now working for the Resistance.
- You Are Better Than You Think You Are: She reaches out to Tam and Rucklin, and it's also heavily implied that this was how she got to Imanuel.
Bomber Squadrons
Fossil
Commander Fossil
Species: Martigrade
Homeworld: Martaus VI
Appearances: Cobalt Squadron | Adventures
The commanding officer of the Resistance's StarFortress bomber squadrons.
- In-Series Nickname: The bomber crews affectionately refer to her as "the Old Lady", although they make sure to do so outside of her hearing.
- A Mother to Her Men: She cares deeply for the crews of her bombers. Leia feels her grief through the Force after they are wiped out at D'Qar and is nearly overwhelmed by it.
- Uncertain Doom: Her fate is unclear after the heavy Resistance casualties in The Last Jedi. The novelization notes she survived the evacuation of D'Qar, but her status after the destruction of the Resistance fleet and Battle of Crait is unknown. That said, Vi Moradi mentions her as someone she'd like to introduce to her new Resistance recruits in Black Spire, so it's likely she's still among the living.
Cobalt Squadron
Finch Dallow
Finch Dallow
Species: Human
Homeworld: Aduba
Portrayed by: Kevin Layne
Appears in: Cobalt Squadron | The Last Jedi
The pilot of the Cobalt Hammer. Finch was a member of the New Republic's scout services, with the horrors he saw committed by the First Order on the edges of space driving him to join the Resistance.
- Ascended Extra: Appears very briefly in The Last Jedi, but has a major role in the prequel novel Cobalt Squadron.
- Beneath the Mask: He is typically relentlessly cheerful, but Rose suspects that is just a cover for his true feelings about the war and First Order.
- Character Death: He dies during the Evacuation of D'Qar when the cockpit of Cobalt Hammer takes a direct hit by TIE fighter.
Paige Tico
Paige Tico
Species: Human
Homeworld: Hays Minor
Portrayed by: Ngô Thanh Vân
Appearances: Age of Resistance | Cobalt Squadron | Adventures | Adventures: Forces of Destiny | The Last Jedi
Rose Tico's sister, Paige serves as the vertical gunner on the Cobalt Hammer.
- Aerith and Bob: Like her sister, "Paige" is a name found on our world.
- Affectionate Nickname: Rose calls her Pae-Pae.
- Advertised Extra: Promotional material made her out to seem like she’d be at least as major as Jessika, Ello Asty, and Snap, only for her to be killed off in the first act of The Last Jedi.
- Ascended Extra: That said, she gets a bit more screentime in the novelization for The Last Jedi, briefly becoming a narrator. Even after her death, Rose continues to talk about what Paige was like, giving more details about her characterization. Paige also has a large presence in Rose's Age of Resistance issue, getting just as much focus as her sister.
- Cool Big Sis: To Rose; they were even closer than twins, as described by the novelization, and her younger sister practically worshiped the ground Paige walked on.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Her homeworld was polluted and ultimately destroyed by the First Order's mining and weapons testing, resulting in the deaths of her and Rose's parents as well. It is this that inspires her to fight with the Resistance.
- Face Death with Dignity: As she's swallowed up in the explosion of her bomber (the Cobalt Hammer), Paige merely closes her eyes and clutches her necklace.
- Friend to All Living Things: According to Rose, Paige was a serious animal lover, with fathiers being her favorite.
- Heroic Sacrifice: During Poe's successful—if costly—Dreadnought strike at the start of The Last Jedi, hers is the only bomber to make it to the drop point. With her co-pilot dead, she’s forced to detonate her payload while still in the blast radius. She succeeds in blowing up the First Order’s dreadnought, at the cost of her life (alongside many others).
- Nerves of Steel: She keeps a level head during Poe's assault on the Dreadnought, even as she finds her crew dead, is knocked to the ground by an explosion, hears Poe screaming in her ear to drop the payload, and has only a limited time to act. In the novelization, Rose describes her as the type of person who would be completely poised even if her ship was unresponsive and turbolaser fire was all around her.
- Sacrificial Lamb: Paige dies in the first act of The Last Jedi to give her sister, Rose, a motive.
- Sibling Team: With her younger sister Rose in Rose's Age of Resistance issue.
- We Hardly Knew Ye: Her sacrifice comes early during the first act of The Last Jedi.
- Worthy Opponent: Although Paige has no idea, nor can Captain Canady possibly know who dropped the payload of bombs on his ship (the First Order Dreadnought Fulminatrix), the First Order and ex-Imperial officer seems to exhibit a degree of silent, grim admiration for Paige's courage as he faces his fate watching his ship go up in a cascade of explosions.
Nix Jerd
Nix Jerd
Species: Human
Homeworld: Lantillies
Portrayed by:
Appearances: Cobalt Squadron | The Last Jedi
A crewmember of the Cobalt Hammer, serving as this ship's bombardier.
- One-Steve Limit: Not to be confused with the cut character Nix/Nyx Okami, Ahsoka’s boyfriend from Coruscant.
- We Hardly Knew Ye: He dies in the first act of The Last Jedi, trying to set off his bombs, only to be killed and Paige having to do it instead.
Wrobie Tyce
Lieutenant Wrobie Tyce
Species: Human
Homeworld: Warlentta
Portrayed by: Vinette Robinson
Appearances: The Rise of Skywalker
Larma D'Acy's wife. Originally a commercial pilot on Warlentta, she joined the Resistance alongside her wife. An A-Wing pilot for Cobalt Squadron, she was reassigned to other missions with Snap Wexley during the evacuation of D'Qar and the Battle of Crait.
- Remember the New Guy?: Like Paige and Nix, she was a member of Cobalt Squadron, but unlike her squadmates, she was off on other missions during the events of The Last Jedi.
- Smooch of Victory: Upon returning to Ajan Kloss, Wrobie runs to find Larma and kiss her in celebration of their victory over the First Order.
- Sole Survivor: All There in the Manual confirms that she is the only survivor of her squadron.
Cadet Squadrons
J-Squadron
In General
J-Squadron
They want to be heroes. The Galaxy has other plans.
An eleven-man squadron of cadets under the leadership of Jo Jerjerrod, training for the Resistance Starfighter Corps at the Yard. However, several cadets fought over reprogramming AG-90, which led to the Resistance base's power being shut down as a result of their antics. As punishment, Ackbar disbanded the squadron and had them assigned on a scavenging mission to Vodran.
- Cannot Keep a Secret: Apparently, they married off Karé and Snap on the D'Qar Resistance base, but failed at trying to keep it a secret. Though in fairness, it might've been because Everyone Can See It and went from there anyway.
- Ragtag Bunch of Misfits
Jo Jerjerrod
Jothan Tiaan "Jo" Jerjerrod
Species: Human
Appearances: Join the Resistance
A young man who leads an X-Wing cadet squadron, the J-Squadron, under the Resistance.
- Alliterative Name: Jo Jerjerrod?
- Ambiguously Brown: Meanwhile, Tiaan Jerjerrod was white.
- Dark Secret: Possibly in relation to his surname that just so happens to be the same as a dead Imperial moff's. At one point, Jo contacts his parents, who tell him that he's doing well at what he's supposed to be doing and that they have a map to Luke's location. Since no mention has ever been made of Jo's parents by the Resistance and it seems that Jo is doing something may be bad for the rest of the Resistance, it implies that his family works for the First Order.
- Et Tu, Brute?: In the first book, it seems that he betrayed the group, but it turns out to be false. However, in the second book, he betrays the group for the First Order when he, Lorica, Mattis, and AG get captured.
- Famous Ancestor: The Jerjerrod name is apparently a long line from the Core Worlds, which means that he's somehow related to the late Moff Tiaan Jerjerrod. That being said, however, Jo loathes the Empire's successor, the First Order, suggesting either there's a Sins of the Father or something else going on with Jo.
- Icy Blue Eyes: Mattis emphasizes his eyes when noting his stoic personality during their first meeting.
- Not So Above It All: Since one of his friends is a Gungan, he throws in random Gungan phrases every now and then.
- Sins of the Father: Maybe. He loathes the First Order, likely in part of Moff Jerjerrod and presumably the rest of the Jerjerrods' loyalties to its predecessor, the Empire ...and it is implied that the Jerjerrod family is still loyal to the First Order. However, considering Jo doesn't seem that happy or gung-ho about what the Jerjerrod family is up to nowadays, it would appear that joining in on the family business is a reluctant and unhappy choice for him.
- The Stoic: Remains poised during his introduction by Ackbar to Mattis.
Mattis Banz
Cadet Mattis Banz
Species: Human
Homeworld: Durkteel
Appearances: Adventures | Join the Resistance
An orphan boy from the world of Durkteel who was recruited into the Resistance.
- Ambiguously Brown
- Ambiguous Situation: Is he really Force-sensitive, or is his belief that he is one is a result of his Heroic Wannabe behavior to be like heroes like Luke?
- Audience Surrogate: The target audience of the Join the Resistance books are middle grade kids that are new to the franchise and/or are new lovers of the franchise, just as how Mattis is a Hero-Worshipper and is around the age of twelve to fourteen.
- Black-and-White Morality: He seems convinced that the Resistance and its predecessor, the Rebellion/Rebel Alliance, have done nothing wrong, and the First Order (and the Empire) and the Fringe are everything that's wrong.
- The Call Put Me on Hold: He's convinced that he is a Force-sensitive and it just hasn't manifested yet. He's made into the Resistance, but so far he hasn't actually manifested any powers.
- First-Person Peripheral Narrator: The series is mainly seen through his eyes and we only know as much as he knows.
- Good Cannot Comprehend Evil: In the first book, when it seems that Jo had betrayed them, Mattis can't understand why anyone would want to betray the Resistance and the good people in it.
- Heroic Wannabe: He wants to be the next Poe, maybe even the next Luke.
- Hero-Worshipper: He's a pretty big fan of the heroes of the Rebel Alliance and the Resistance, and he wants to be just like them.
- I Am Who?: Subverted. He believes that he's Force-sensitive, having realized this from the descriptions about those kinds of people from the Phirmists. There haven't been any explicit signs that he actually is one, however, but he claims that he can feel it flowing through his body. He's also kept this information to himself.
- Innocently Insensitive: He hasn't done anything too insensitive yet, but he refuses to keep his voice down when he fanboys over meeting Lorica, believing that everyone should know about her heroics (despite that they probably do—she likely did those heroics under the orders of the Resistance, and their meeting is in the Resistance base itself). Considering what exactly happened that caused Lorica to join the Resistance, she likely just doesn't like people squeeing over her heroics in her face out of both annoyance and guilt/shame.
- Jumped at the Call: The first line of the series is literally someone asking if he's ready to join the Resistance.
- Kid Hero: He's fifteen years old at the beginning of the series.
- Naïve Newcomer: He thinks the Galaxy works in a Black-and-White Morality and thinks he's destined to be a hero like Poe or Luke. Though given he's the protagonist of his series, he probably will be a hero, though maybe not as famous as Poe or Luke.
- Nice Guy: The reason why he was recruited by the Resistance in the first place is because he always held out for the other kids at the orphanage.
- Parental Abandonment: No word on what happened to his parents or family. He was taken in by the Phirmists, a cult/religious order that believes in the Force.
Lorica Demaris
Cadet Lorica Demaris
Species: Zeltron
Homeworld: Kergans
Appearances: Join the Resistance
The daughter of a family that owned a hotel on Kergans, Lorica is a Zeltron girl famous for her exploits foiling antagonistic smugglers and destroying an illegal weapons cache in her hotel.
- Action Girl: She knows how to hunt alongside bassa hounds and can ride fathiers in competition. And now, she's a member of the Resistance, which is self-explanatory.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: She has pink skin, by virtue of being a Zeltron.
- Canon Immigrant: Her species, the Zeltrons, originated in Star Wars (Marvel 1977).
- Cool Big Sis: Becomes one after defrosting in the first book to not only Mattis, but the rest of the squadron as well.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Kind of. She's from a rich, high-class family that had high expectations for her. At one point, they bought her a small yacht starship, which spawned her love for flying, because it let her feel free. After rumors starting flying around that the illegal weapons cache found in her family's hotel was blown up by Lorica herself, her family enrolled her into the New Republic Military Academy on Ganthel to help support her newfound image of being a hero. However, the commander there was sympathetic to the Resistance and saw that Lorica's skills would be better off helping the effort instead of wasted, as well as allowing Lorica a chance at doing something she wants, and secretly sent the girl to the Resistance.
- Defrosting Ice Queen: Initially, she's dismissive of Mattis and the others for being obnoxious naïve newcomers, but she comes around.
- Lonely Rich Kid: She comes from a rich family that made her do things like enrolling her into an expensive academy (and later a military academy), teaching her how to hunt with the equivalent of hounds and riding the equivalent of horses, and so forth. At the very least, she found being spoiled and being subject to high expectations from her parents (and now the rest of the Galaxy) as boring and/or overwhelming.
- Famed In-Story: She's known as a hero for her exploits against smugglers. Her first name to fame was when she foiled an illegal weapons cache in her family's hotel. She actually didn't do that much against the cache, but it did start her career as a Resistance cadet, wanting to keep up with the heroic persona the galaxy had suddenly given her.
- The Runaway: She's supposed to be at the New Republic Military Academy on Ganthel, not with the arguably-illegitimate Resistance and already participating in the frontlines. She only managed to do this with the help of the Resistance-sympathetic commander there and the Resistance High Command's approval.
- Sure, Let's Go with That: She actually didn't have as major of a role in that illegal weapons cache situation. The destruction of the cache just happened to take place in her family's hotel while she was around, and while local police congratulated her and thanked her for her assistance, the rumor mill went and made it seem like Lorica was the hero. Wanting to live up to her new heroic persona and leave her boring life, she joined the Resistance.
- Token Minority: The only non-human in the group besides AG-90 and Klimo.
Sari Nadle
Cadet Sari Nadle
Species: Human
Appearances: Join the Resistance

- Gentle Giant: The biggest of the group, but is kindhearted.
- Hackette: She's a computer slicer.
- Nice Girl: Despite her size, she's actually quite nice.

- Farm Boy: Literally. He left that quiet life when he joined the Resistance.
