Gureni Telsij

Gureni Telsij was a human who served as a lieutenant and pilot in the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War. At the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, he flew a BTL-A4 Y-wing assault starfighter/bomber as part of Gray Squadron, jumping to the Endor system in order to try and destroy the Galactic Empire's Death Star II superweapon.

After the Alliance Fleet realized that it had fallen into a trap, hundreds of TIE fighters and TIE interceptors attacked the rebels, causing Telsij to declare that there were too many of the enemy. Moments later, the pilot was killed when his Y-wing was hit by enemy fire.
