Torius Chord

Torius Chord was a human pilot for the Alliance to Restore the Republic flying in Blue Squadron out of the Great Temple on the moon Yavin 4. In 1 BBY, Chord attended a meeting at the temple at which the rebel Jyn Erso informed the Alliance Cabinet of the existence of the Death Star superweapon and proposed that the Alliance steal the Death Star plans from the planet Scarif.

After the cabinet rejected the idea, Erso led a unsanctioned mission to Scarif, which the Alliance fleet scrambled to support once they learned of it. Flying as Blue Two, Chord traveled with the rest of Blue Squadron to the Scarif system, where the squadron took heavy casualties while supporting Erso in successfully stealing the plans.
