Andoorni Hui

Andoorni Hui was a Rodian female who served as one of the inaugural pilots of the reformed Rogue Squadron in 6.5 ABY. A huntress determined to further her reputation, Hui joined the New Republic as a pilot, and was hand-picked by Commander Wedge Antilles to join the elite Rogue Squadron. Although political pressure forced Antilles to select alien pilots for the roster, he personally assured New Republic Defense Force officials that none of the selected pilots, including Hui, were inferior to any other candidates.

Hui performed well in the Battle of Hensara, where she helped protect a New Republic frigate escaping from Imperial capture. She was nearly killed a few days later, however, when a squad of Imperial stormtroopers launched a covert attack against a Rogue Squadron base on Talasea. The attack claimed the life of her roommate and wingmate, Lujayne Forge, and left Hui with near fatal-injuries that incapacitated her from active duty. She recovered in time to participate in the First Battle of Borleias, a disastrous defeat for the New Republic. Hui was killed in the battle when a TIE Interceptor destroyed her X-wing starfighter.
