Wingmate

Canon Legends version → Linked from 42 articles

A wingmate, also known as a wingman, referred to a starfighter pilot who flew with another pilot in a squadron. Even the leader of a starfighter squadron flew with a wingman.

In 22 BBY, Senator Padmé Amidala flew as a wingmate to Porro Dolphe in an entourage of N-1 starfighters while her handmaiden Cordé posed as her aboard her J-type diplomatic barge, as she received threats of an attempt on her life.

Prior to the Battle of Scarif, rebel pilot Ralo Surrel flew as the wingmate to Red Leader Garven Dreis.
