Legend

this young man was a native of the planet Tatooine, and grew up after Luke Skywalker had become a hero of the Alliance. Like many youths of his time, he grew up hoping to follow in Luke's footsteps. He began tinkering with landspeeders and skyhoppers, making a name for himself as a repairman. His dreams would have died, when he learned that much of Luke's success was due to the Force, except for the taunts he continually received from his peers. Their jeers only hardened his resolve, and he left Tatooine to become a mechanic for the New Republic on Coruscant. His abilities quickly earned him the respect and admiration of his superiors, and he was generally regarded as being on par with the Kloperians. It was Cole who was spotted by Skywalker, when he came to investigate the status of his X-Wing. Finding it dismantled for refitting, Luke demanded the Cole put it back together. In doing so, Cole discovered a detonation device in the new flight computer. Taking the initiative, Cole investigated all of the X-Wings, including the newer models. Similar detonation devices were in all of the New Republic's X-Wings, and despite the lack of support from the Kloperians, Cole persisted. He drew the attention of Wedge Antilles, who understood what Cole had discovered, and allowed Cole to continue his investigation. However, he became entangled with R2-D2 and C-3PO, and found himself in a stolen transport destined for Telti. It was there that he discovered Brakiss' droid factory, and the detonators being installed within them. He managed to get a message back to the New Republic, and got them to deactivate their droids. With the help of R2-D2 and C-3PO, he was able to drive Brakiss's droid troops away and forced Brakiss off Telti, eliminating the threat of more rigged droids.
