Twitch

Twitch was a human female soldier who served in the Rebel Alliance's 61st Mobile Infantry, nicknamed Twilight Company during the Galactic Civil War. She was present with the company during its time on Bamayar and Dreivus. In 3 ABY, after the Imperial Governor Everi Chalis defected to Twilight Company, Twitch discussed the governor with a number of other soldiers over a game of cards at the company's clubhouse aboard its CR90 corvette, the Thunderstrike.

After Sergeant Maximian Ajax perished during a mission, Twitch eulogized the sergeant during his funeral. During Twilight Company's time on the planet Ankhural, Twitch had drinks with some other Twilight personnel following the funeral of Captain Micha Evon and told the others of an experience she had with the captain. When Twilight Company fought on the planet Mardona III, Twitch joined a death squad which took revenge on the killers of Sergeant Pol Andrissus.

When Twiligh company was stranded on the manufacturing world Sullust, Twitch and her squad joined acting captain Hazram Namir and two others in a mission to the capital city Pinyumb to find a local rebel cell. The group sneaked into the city and found the cell's safe house. However, they were attacked by stormtroopers, and Twitch split from Namir to try and save her squad. She was unable to save them, and returned to Twilight Company as it defended a facility from Imperial forces. She reunited with Namir and fought alongside him. After the battle ended, Twitch eventually played another game of cards with some other personnel.

The Alliance eventually became the New Republic, and in 5 ABY, Twitch served with Twilight Company on the planet Troithe, at one point encountering some Imperial guerrillas. After the Empire's 204th Imperial Fighter Wing routed the Twilight squads from their positions on Troithe, she rendezvoused at a speeder garage. The subsequent remnant of Twilight Company was taken charge of by Sergeant Carver, who held a meeting with Twitch and some other senior personnel. As a result of that meeting, the remnant set course for the continent Scar of Troithe.

The Twilight Company remnant traveled on a caravan of repulsorcraft through a tunnel network towards the Scar of Troithe. After an encounter with a 204th scout, Twitch suggested that the caravan park and fortify against reinforcements. Carver overruled their idea, and the remnant ultimately evaded the scout's squadron. After reaching the Scar of Troithe, the senior personnel had another meeting where they discussed the 204th's intentions with the nearby Core Nine mining megafacility and concluded that the facility was their next target.

The Twilight Company forces eventually attacked Core Nine, where Sergeants Twitch and Zab led forces inside the facility. Twitch's squads gained territory corridor by corridor, and the 204th eventually fled Core Nine on a bulk freighter after New Republic reinforcements joined the battle. Days later, Twitch joined the celebrations at the Raddakkia Plaza on Troithe, where she and others wagered on when the riots in the Old Skybottom District was to end.
