Ello Asty was a talented but reckless male Abednedo starfighter pilot from the planet Abednedo. A gifted T-70 X-wing ace who flew with the New Republic Defense Fleet's precision air team, he grew restless with patrols and air shows and became one of the founding members of the Resistance when Senator Leia Organa organized it years after the Battle of Endor. Known for shooting first and questioning second, he logged the highest ratio of combat encounters to flight time in the Resistance.
Flying with Cobalt, Blue, and finally Red Squadron, Asty fought at the Battle of Takodana and, under the callsign Red Six, joined the assault on Starkiller Base in 34 ABY. During the trench run against the superweapon's thermal oscillator he was shot down by ground fire and killed instantly, though the Resistance succeeded in destroying the base. He was memorialized among the pilots who never returned. This overview summarizes canon sources under CC BY-SA; see the Timeline for a chronological account.
