Jek Tono Porkins, nicknamed "Piggy," was a human trader and pilot from Bestine IV who abandoned his homeworld after the Galactic Empire built a base there and joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Flying with the Tierfon Yellow Aces and then Red Squadron under the callsign Red Six, he became a seasoned rebel starfighter pilot.
Porkins flew in the Battle of Scarif and, days later, in the Battle of Yavin, where his X-wing was struck by debris and caught in turbolaser fire, killing him during the Rebel assault on the Death Star. He was later honored by the Resistance flight maneuver known as the Porkins Belly Run.
