Legend

this Lorrdian man joined the Alliance after completing two tours of duty with the Imperial Navy, when he learned that slavery was almost fully sanctioned by the Empire he served. This went against everything he believed, and so he defected. He was assigned to the Y-Wing squadrons on Dantooine, where he was partnered with the astromech R2-S4. He also brought with him an impressive knowledge of Imperial codes and schematics, and longed to become a field agent. After winning R2-D2 from Captain Raymus Antilles in a sabacc match, Angeles traded the droid for a position as a deep-cover agent. Airen Cracken, a participant in the game, placed Pike back into Imperial service as a starship engineer. His Lorrdian heritage allowed him to assume virtually an identity at will, which allowed him to re-enter Imperial service without being recognized. He used his position to gain access to backwater Imperial bases, and simply stole ships that had come in for service. His charismatic personality allowed him to talk his way out of explaining the theft, and provided the Alliance with much-needed starships. His full Lorrdian name was Shen-and-Gretta Pikeual-Angeles of Lorrd.
