Sonogari

Sonogari was a male pilot in the New Republic's Riot Squadron with the callsign Riot Seven. He was close to the fellow pilot Wyl Lark, and he became the unofficial flight instructor to the young pilot. Despite coming to kiss him on one occasion after the battle at the astronomical object Sarapin, the pair decided that they were not compatible and remained friends. Shortly following the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, Riot Squadron and the A/SF-01 B-wing starfighters of Hound Squadron flew with the EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate Hellion's Dare on a reconnaissance mission.

When stationed at the planet Jiruus, Sonogari and his comrades said goodbye to Lark, who intended to leave the next day. However, the 204th Imperial Fighter Wing attacked the Dare above Jiruus, forcing the frigate and its starfighters to retreat to the Oridol Cluster. The pilot Nasi Moreno was lost along the way, and Sonogari refused to cry for her. The 204th then continued to pursue the Hellion's Dare through the cluster, and Sonogari was killed in the first battle, receiving a funeral by his squadron shortly after.
