Jyn Erso was a human female operative of the Rebel Alliance and the daughter of Galen Erso, the Imperial scientist compelled to complete the Death Star's superweapon. Hardened by a childhood on the run, she was drawn reluctantly into the fight against the Galactic Empire.
Jyn led the volunteer squad known as Rogue One in the daring mission to steal the Death Star's structural plans from the Imperial archives on Scarif. Her sacrifice there delivered the plans that gave the Rebellion its first decisive victory at the Battle of Yavin.
