Tyler Lucian

Tyler Lucian was a Human male Rebel soldier who deserted from the Alliance in 0 BBY. While stationed in the Yavin system, Lucian was present when the Imperial Death Star superweapon appeared in the immediate run-up to the Battle of Yavin. Filled with fear by the sight of the Death Star, Lucian stole a ship and fled, only to learn that a young pilot named Luke Skywalker had destroyed the Imperial station. Unable to simply return to the Alliance, Lucian went in hiding on Centares, where his knowledge of Skywalker's identity made him a target of the Sith Lord Darth Vader and bounty hunter Beilert Valance. Lucian ultimately committed suicide in 0 ABY to prevent Skywalker's name from falling into Imperial hands.
