Jeremoch Colton

Captain Jeremoch Colton was a human male who served as pilot of the Alderaanian starships Tantive III and Tantive IV, corvettes used by Senator Bail Organa of the House of Organa. He was an extraordinary pilot and served as somewhat of a mentor to Captain Raymus Antilles, the commander of the two vessels. Between 40 BBY and 34 BBY, Colton captained a CR70 corvette with Organa onboard that crashed on Planet WG4587. The Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi located the vessel and with Jinn's aid it took off. A kaijura the grabbed the ship until Colton launched all the corvette's escape pods into it on Jinn's orders, forcing the creature to let go and allowing the corvette to escape.

In 19 BBY, Colton piloted the Tantive III on the planet Coruscant during the final days of the Clone Wars. Organa used the ship to aid his Jedi friends Grand Master Yoda and Kenobi, now a Master, after the Galactic Republic turned on the Jedi during Order 66. While the trio were on board, Colton informed Organa that Vice Chair Mas Amedda had sent him a message. He later brought Yoda and Organa to the Polis Massa asteroid field, where Yoda departed for the Sluis sector.

Colton continued to serve Bail Organa and then his daughter, Leia Organa, as a pilot, and was piloting the Tantive IV when it was captured above the planet Tatooine in 1 BBY. Colton was arrested as a member of the Alliance to Restore the Republic and sent to Accresker Jail, a mobile Imperial prison, where he remained a prisoner of the Galactic Empire. At some point before the jail's destruction around 1 ABY, Colton was visited by Sava Madelin Sun, who used a Thought Dowser to force him to reveal that Yoda had traveled to the Sluis sector.
