Shymon

Shymon was a human female TIE fighter pilot in the Galactic Empire's 204th Imperial Fighter Wing. In 5 ABY, the fighter wing was pursued by New Republic forces led by General Hera Syndulla. During the third encounter between both parties, Syndulla's refitted Star Destroyer, the Deliverance, locked on to the 204th's flagship, the bulk freighter Yadeez. As the fighter wing's TIEs closed in on the Deliverance tractor beam projector, Shymon accelerated into the projector, obliterating it. Her sacrifice allowed the 204th to escape.
