Jessika Pava

Jessika Pava, also known as Jess or Testor, as well as the Great Destroyer by droids, was a human female pilot of the Resistance during the war against the First Order. A native of the planet Dandoran, Pava was born in a time when the New Republic governed the galaxy, restoring democracy after decades of totalitarian rule by the Galactic Empire. Raised on the legends of Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, Pava was a great admirer of the Jedi who defeated Emperor Palpatine and became known as the best star pilot in galactic history.

Following in her idol's example, Pava became a pilot in the New Republic Defense Fleet. However, in lieu of the Galactic Senate's unwillingness to punish the First Order's violations of the peace treaty that ended the Galactic Civil War, Pava chose to support General Leia Organa's organization as a Resistance pilot during the Cold War. Serving as a member of Blue Squadron and Black Squadron, in turn, she piloted the T-70 X-wing starfighter under the command of Commander Poe Dameron.

Pava served with distinction during her time in the Resistance, although the group's astromech units took note of her record for losing droids while on missions for the Resistance. In the aftermath of the Hosnian Cataclysm in 34 ABY, Pava's squadron deployed to Starkiller Base in an attempt to destroy the superweapon before it could destroy the Resistance base along with the entire planet of D'Qar. Their mission was ultimately a success, resulting in the base's destruction and the survival of the Resistance.
