Roja

Roja was a male soldier and former dock worker who served in the Alliance to Restore the Republic's 61st Mobile Infantry, more commonly referred to as Twilight Company, during the time of the Galactic Empire. He served with the company at the planets Mygeeto and Phorsa Gedd. In 3 ABY, Roja, Hazram Namir, and the soldier Beak escorted Twilight Company's Captain Micha Evon, known as Howl, and the ex-Imperial Governor Everi Chalis to the Echo Base, the Alliance High Command's secret base on the planet Hoth. At the base, Roja and Beak were assigned to teams to do with their specialties and Roja formed a relationship with some T-47 airspeeder technicians which grew familial in the eyes of Namir.

After the Empire discovered Echo Base, Roja, Beak and Namir was posted at Perimeter Outpost Delta as a part of the ground defense. Roja asked questions to Namir and was the first to spot Imperial Gozanti-cruisers carrying walkers to the ground. Outpost Delta was soon attacked by scout forces, which destroyed the outposts turret and artillery before falling back. Roja traveled back towards Echo Base with Namir and Beak, finding an abandoned Imperial juggernaut. Roja brought the vehicle back online and he and Beak drove it with Namir to Echo Base, collecting straggling soldiers along the way.

Entering Echo Base, Roja, Beak and Namir traveled to the command center in search of Howl. Roja considered splitting off to prepare their shuttle but Namir shut his idea down. The three found the Howl injured at Chalis's side, Roja and Beak carrying the captain as the group then made towards the hangar. They were cautious of distant gunfire, and the rest of them waited while Namir scouted. As they then approached the hangar down a hallway, the group was cut off by the Sith Lord Darth Vader and his stormtroopers. Roja, Beak and Namir fired at the incoming Imperials, but the Sith Lord continued to advance and cut Beak in half. Roja then threw a fragmentation grenade, which incapacitated Namir, and the former soldier was killed by a blaster shot.
