Paonu

Paonu was a commander in the Rebel Alliance's 61st Mobile Infantry, better known as Twilight Company. He served as naval captain on the company's CR90 corvette, the Thunderstrike, and was third down the line of command in Twilight Company. When the Thunderstrike was pursued by forces of the Galactic Empire due to a hyperdrive leak, Paonu suggested transferring select personnel from the Thunderstrike to its escort, the Braha'tok-class gunship Apailana's Promise, in the hopes of saving them.

Former Imperial governor Everi Chalis, however, instead proposed raiding an Imperial heavy freighter, which was approved and carried out. After the raid, the Thunderstrike and Apailana's Promise rendezvoused with a rebel flotilla in the Elochar sector to make repairs to the Thunderstrike under Paonu's supervision. However, Imperial spies were able to infiltrate the Thunderstrike, and Paonu was killed on the bridge.
