Yeager family

The Yeager family was a human family, whose most notorious member was the veteran Rebel pilot Jarek Yeager. During the Galactic Civil War, Jarek served the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the New Republic, in turn, against the Galactic Empire. Following the rise of the New Republic, Yeager started a family; marrying a woman and having a daughter with her. At one point, Yeager was photographed with his family on the planet Batuu. Yeager also became a successful racer, earning the envy of his younger brother, Marcus Speedstar. During one such racing event around 24 ABY, that both Yeager and Speedstar were competing in, Speedstar used large amounts of coaxium to fuel his ship in an effort to beat Yeager. However, Speedstar's ship crashed, killing Yeager's wife and daughter, who were attending the event at the time. Furious at Speedstar's actions, Yeager ceased contact with him for many years and went on to live in retirement on the Outer Rim planet Castilon by the time of the Cold War. By 34 ABY, Yeager's brother Marcus Speedstar considered his sibling the only family that he had left.
