Pharl McQuarrie

Pharl McQuarrie was a human from the planet Ralltiir who fought in the Clone Wars as a prominent military advisor. He later served as a general in the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War and his work aided in the retrieval of the Death Star plans. With his knowledge of planning and logistics, McQuarrie played a key role in planning the Alliance's headquarters on the planet Hoth, named Echo Base, and headed its construction before being selected as General Carlist Rieekan's second-in-command.

In 3 ABY, the Galactic Empire discovered the Alliance's presence on Hoth and deployed forces to attack Echo Base. McQuarrie was instrumental in coordinating a defensive action against the Empire that allowed the vast majority of the base's personnel and equipment to be evacuated to a rallying point.
