Summary
|
Jek Tono Porkins was a trader and pilot from Bestine IV who, along with the other Bestines, was forced to abandon his homeworld when the Galactic Empire chose it as the site of a new military base. Seeking the opportunity to strike back at the Empire, Porkins joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic and was assigned to Tierfon Rebel Outpost for pilot training with the Tierfon Yellow Aces. His skill at low-altitude strafing runs and his rotund physique earned him the nicknames "Belly Runner" and "Piggy." After the completion of the Empire's Death Star, the Yellow Aces were taken to fully active status and transferred to fill gaps in pilot rosters at other Rebel bases. When Porkins's good friend Wes Janson![](MyCollection_Unit_Janson, Wes.jpg) | Wes Janson(Human)CharacterSupporting Characters | was taken ill with a case of Hesken Fever, Porkins was given his friend's assignment instead and transferred to Red Squadron![](MyCollection_Unit_Red Squadron.jpg) | Red SquadronOrganizationRebel Alliance Navy | , operating out of the Great Temple on Yavin 4![](MyCollection_Unit_Yavin IV.jpg) | Yavin IVPlanet | .Porkins soon took part in his first missions with Red Squadron, working with Biggs Darklighter![](MyCollection_Unit_Darklighter, Biggs.jpg) | Biggs Darklighter(Human)CharacterSupporting Characters | , Wedge Antilles![](MyCollection_Unit_Antilles, Wedge.jpg) | Wedge Antilles(Human)CharacterMajor Characters | , and Cesi Eirriss to help retrieve a number of astromech droids from the smuggler Nera Dantels![](MyCollection_Unit_Dantels, Nera.jpg) | Nera Dantels(Human)CharacterSupporting Characters | on Commenor.
