Vifra

Vifra was a human who served as an engineer in the Rebel Alliance's 61st Mobile Infantry, nicknamed Twilight Company. She became the head of engineering for the company following the destruction of the former head M2-M5 when the company's CR90 corvette, the Thunderstrike, crashed on the planet Sullust.

As Twilight Company fortified at the captured Inyusu Tor mineral processing facility, Vifra's team was advised by the tentative Captain Hazram Namir to dig tunnels to channel lava through from the facilitys magma extractors. Vifra predicted that many of the dig teams would die, but assured Namir that they would carry the job out regardless and that the plan would ultimately work. When an Imperial attack on the Inyusu Tor facility came, the dug out tunnels channeled lava which cut off the Imperial forces from falling back.

Around 5 ABY, after the Alliance transitioned into the New Republic, Twilight Company, Vifra among it, fought in a campaign in the Cerberon system. After the company's squads were forced from their positions by the Empire's 204th Imperial Fighter Wing, also known as Shadow Wing, Vifra rendezvoused with numerous other survivors at a speeder garage and represented the surviving engineers at a meeting with senior personnel.

During the meeting, Vifra coined the idea of contacting other New Republic infantry units as well as the possibility of disbanding the troops and spreading out until circumstances alter. When the New Republic pilot Nath Tensent suggested making a squadron out of locally found aircraft, Vifra added that she could weld already possessed weaponry to the airborne vehicles, although she claimed that the TIEs of Shadow Wing would still be superior to the modified vehicles.
