Summary
Jal Te Gniev was a human pilot for the Rebel Alliance. At the time of the Battle of Yavin, Jal had flown 31 missions and destroyed 80 TIE Fighters. However, he did not participate in the Battle of Yavin due to measles. His X-wing was borrowed by Luke Skywalker. Gniev felt great hatred towards Skywalker because he felt as though he had been denied his rightful glory in destroying the first Death Star, especially considering he had flown thirty-one missions for the Alliance. While nearly getting into an argument with Wedge Antilles an alarm went off. Jal jumped the gun, rushed to his fighter while drunk and opened the S-foils too quickly, scraping the wings on the hangar wall, and crashed the fighter into a nearby tree. He was then brought before the Alliance High Command. General Jan Dodonna tried to get Gniev to explain his actions, but Gniev was uncooperative and angrily accepted the council's decision of reassignment to Dubrava as a recruiter.
