Ace

An ace was a starfighter pilot that had been credited with a certain number of kills (five) in flight combat. Pilots who exceeded the minimum number of kills required for ace status could also become double aces (such as Dex Tiree, with thirteen kills), triple aces (such as Biggs Darklighter, with sixteen kills), or even quadruple aces (such as Jon Vander, Garven Dreis, and Antoc Merrick with upwards of twenty-two kills). The Jedi Knight Taradon was an ace. The Resistance pilot Poe Dameron was a mega-ace.
