Evram Lajaie

Evram Lajaie was a Human commander of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. In 0 BBY, he was at the Alliance's base on Yavin 4. When General Jan Dodonna, the base's commander, received the secret plans for the Galactic Empire's Death Star superweapon, Lajaie's expertise in both space defense and orbital battle stations enabled him to quickly uncover a fatal flaw in the design of the Death Star. Lajaie then attended a meeting where Dodonna discussed those findings with the base's starfighter squadrons, and the General organized an attack on the Imperial superweapon. During the subsequent space battle, Rebel pilot Luke Skywalker successfully destroyed the Death Star, and Lajaie was present in a ceremony honoring Skywalker and other heroes of the battle.
