Meteor Leader (Cerberon)

"Meteor Leader" was the callsign of a pilot who commanded the New Republic's Meteor Squadron during the Galactic Civil War. Around 5 ABY, during the invasion of the Galactic Empire controlled Cerberon system, he led the squadron during the attack on the planet Troithe's capital district, fighting the district's air defenses and TIE strikers.

Later on, Meteor Squadron was scrambled to defend the planet Catadra from forces of the Empire's 204th Imperial Fighter Wing. En route to the world, Meteor Leader called out timings to reach Catadra and discussed the capabilities of the incoming 204th forces with Wyl Lark of the New Republic's Alphabet Squadron. He also advised two other pilots to stop chattering on the comm channel he used. The squadron soon fought the attacking 204th TIE fighters, most Meteor pilots being lost in the battle.
