Upon observing a suspicious freighter, Antilles scrambled the Rogues from the Larkhess; shortly after doing so, the freighter launched a mass of TIEs which had been hidden inside a cloaked cargo bay. She attempted to make him promise, but Vakil broke in and insisted she not do so, saying no promise would hold up in a combat situation and would only leave the survivor feeling guilty for breaking it.

When Antilles happened to mention taking the world "by storm", Darklighter was suddenly struck by inspiration: if the Rogues could conjure up a massive storm, it could bring down the electrical grid and rob the shields of power. He visited Antilles in his office, who expressed gratitude at the offer but declined to take Darklighter up on it at the time. [27], Darklighter's hair has been described in all textual sources as being brown, except in X-Wing: The Bacta War, in which it is once described as blond and then later mentioned to be lighter than the coloration of Biggs's hair.

In an early briefing, Antilles outlined the situation. Horn gave Darklighter a blaster and moved to engage the two stormtroopers who had just entered the hall. [26], One week after Garqi, the Ralroost jumped into the Julevian system and deployed Rogue Squadron to escort a recon-X to determine to what use the Vong were putting the ruins of Sernpidal. The pilot had already managed to destroy an entire squadron on his own, however, and Darklighter told him that if he were ever to hone his skills to match his nerve, he would be the greatest pilot of all time.

When Solo's Twin Suns Squadron was ambushed, Jag Fel, by now a member of Twin Suns, was driven off-course without shields into a seemingly impossible-to-survive cloud of coralskippers. Darklighter correctly guessed Solo and Skywalker's condition, but demanded she surrender nonetheless. Darklighter was assigned his own X-wing, the callsign Rogue Five, and an astromech which he named Jawaswag, and was given the wingmate Riv Shiel, a Shistavanen; Antilles thought the two would make an effective pair.

Darklighter, by now seventeen, asked Sei'lar out, and the pair went on two dates inside a week. Jace accepted, and Horn sprang the trick of the agreement—by averaging the kills, Darklighter gained four from Horn, making Ven, not Darklighter, the worst pilot. [15], On a mission to aid Jussafet Four, a world under attack by Zsinj's forces, Darklighter was shocked to see his wingman, Tal'dira, fire on Antilles as the fighters were being deployed.

At that ceremony, however, it was also revealed that the New Republic would not take action against Isard, who had set herself up as ruler of the bacta-producing planet Thyferra via a coup, in order to prevent political fallout from dislodging the internally determined ruler of a neutral state. Darklighter insisted that Organa Solo would do no such thing, but the admiral accused Darklighter's judgment of being affected by his friendship with the prisoners, stated that Darklighter's statements only supported her fear-mongering, and threatened Darklighter's command. As his executioner took aim, however, Imperial forces raided the gathering. Darklighter, along with the rest of the squadron, stood firmly behind Celchu. Some Rogues told him that their relationship was unlikely to last, but Darklighter proved them wrong.

Darklighter was not intimidated, merely annoyed. [8], With the New Republic about to move onto a full war footing, Darklighter returned to his office in Rogue Squadron headquarters, unwilling to inflict his gloomy mood on his family.

Isabell Darklighter (daughter) Solo began to wonder if Darklighter's ascent to command could be the key event he had sensed which would swing the tide of the war firmly in the Galactic Alliance's favor. Celchu, who had spent time in Isard's Lusankya facility, immediately fell under suspicion and was arrested and accused of sabotaging Horn's fighter to cause his death. The entire family was saddened by his death, but Darklighter had simply not known him well enough for his loss to truly register. Biggs Darklighter was a Human male starfighter pilot in the service of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. [8], During the evacuation, the Rogues were assigned to strike the ship designated Rock-One—the Vong's large cruiser.

He threatened to lead it off to the Unknown Regions and carve his own Empire to hold against the Yuuzhan Vong, or to back a coup and put Organa Solo in power. Homeworld However, Antilles's strategy was blown apart when, instead of allowing a minor victory for the enemy fleet, Lusankya arrived in the system in the midst of the enemy's reserve fleet and began devastating it, but taking damage in return. Kre'fey had been far from meticulous in his planning, however, and Borleias suddenly began to demonstrate far greater defenses than Kre'fey's information had indicated.

He also wanted to convince them that something vitally important was at the planetary base, and so based the Rogues, along with two more elite squadrons, on the planet.

Sei'lar requested time to consider her choice, but had no actual interest in following Fey'lya's instructions. He offered Kre'fey his hand, but the young Bothan refused and stormed off. While the failure to list Darklighter by his rank, unlike every other lieutenant or higher, suggests that Darklighter did not hold that rank and that its one use prior to Solo Command was a non-canonical slip or a misstatement by Antilles, there is nothing to explicitly prevent Darklighter from holding the rank at that time. The squadron spent much time in simulators, and in one simulation, Darklighter, not seeing much point in trying to survive a scenario in which the squadron had already been heavily hit, stayed behind when he could have departed in order to protect Sei'lar. Darklighter, paired with Donos, was assigned to knock out the eastern set of towers, bristling with ion cannons, which defended the generator.
