Bini

Bini was an alien officer in the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War who served as a senior crewmember aboard the Lucrehulk Prime, a rebel flight school, under the command of General Hera Syndulla. When a mercenary crew led by the rogue archaeologist Chelli Aphra visited the starship around 1 ABY, Bini thought they were volunteers and gave them a tour of the flight school. The officer and Syndulla soon discovered that the visitors were mercenaries looking to make an offer, the latter having them held in their brig.

Syndulla, accompanied by Bini and some soldiers, later allowed the group to make their pitch, only for one of the mercenaries to stun the rebels so the group could get away with the general as a captive. Left in charge, the alien sought to save their superior and followed the mercenaries to the Galactic Empire base Hivebase-1, where the Lucrehulk Prime fell under attack by local scaraphyte creatures. Bini scrambled to combat the situation, only to be incapacitated by the Imperial infiltrator Magna Tolvan.

Bini later regained consciousness and found the Lucrehulk Prime being remotely controlled to steal the datacore of Hivebase-1. Once Aphra and Syndulla returned to the flight school, the officer wanted to kill the kidnapper, but the general instead let her go, impressed by the theft of the core. However, Aphra had also encrypted the data inside the core, prompting the rebels to go hunting for her again later. Bini informed Syndulla when a detonation was logged aboard the ship of their operative, the smuggler Sana Starros.
