Legend

this beautiful woman was a smuggler captain who believed in the Alliance during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. She helped the Alliance acquire a shipment of R2-series astromechs, shortly after Incom Industries engineers defected with the plans to the X-Wing starfighter. Aboard her personal ship, the Starduster, Captain Dantels managed to get the astromechs from Commenor with help from the newly-formed Rogue Squadron. She remained on Yavin 4 during the months prior to the Battle of Yavin, where she befriended Biggs Darklighter and Doctor Shae Polikex. Distinguished by her black hair and the talon-shaped tattoos under her eyes, Captain Dantels often turned heads at the Massassi Base with her close-fitting clothes. However, she only had eyes for Darklighter, and was distraught when he was killed in the Battle of Yavin. She continued to fight with the Alliance, and was in command of the ground forces that were dispatched to accompany Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker to Jabiim.
