Vangos Grek

Vangos Grek was a human pilot who served in the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War. He was stationed at the launch base on the planet Tierfon and flew as part of the Tierfon Yellow Aces until the base was scuttled and the squadron broken up due to increasing Imperial activity. Grek and three other pilots from the squadron were reassigned to the Alliance's Great Temple headquarters on the moon Yavin 4.

Grek was made a part of Blue Squadron and flew under the Blue Six callsign during the Battle of Scarif in 1 BBY. When Blue Squadron was ordered to support Alliance forces on the surface of the planet Scarif, Grek raced to make it through the planet's Shield Gate before it could close; however, he lagged behind and was killed when he crashed his T-65 X-wing starfighter into the gate after it had shut.
