Mervais Gandor

Mervais Gandor was a human male who served in the Galactic Empire's 204th Imperial Fighter Wing. Formally an ordnance specialist, he came to be an Imperial Starfighter Pilot for the fighter wing by 5 ABY. When Lieutenant Yrica Quell returned to the unit from desertion, Gandor guarded her in an unpowered turbolift before Colonel Soran Keize arrived to speak with the deserter.

While the 204th was faced by a New Republic starfighter wing at the planet Chadawa, Gandor spoke with Wild Leader Denish Wraive, with whom he sung half a dozen verses of "The Khuntavaryan Fall." When the fighter wing then joined the larger Empire at the planet Jakku, Gandor spoke with his brother Sliblis, who served on another Imperial vessel.

During the Battle of Jakku, the 204th used radiation to silence New Republic starships before destroying them. The starfighter wing from Chadawa, however, soon arrived to intervene. When two of the New Republic pilots spoke over an open channel, Gandor questioned the pilot Chass na Chadic on which fighter she flew. Wraive called the Imperial pilot out shortly after, taunting him. During the ensuing dogfight, Gandor was killed, and his name was later lamented by another 204th pilot.
