to honesty, and that the deaths of innocents was an acceptable price
to pay for covering one's mistakes. Shortly after, they made plans
to jump ship in an outlying system and join the Alliance. During a
brief furlough when Biggs returned to Tatooine, he revealed this
plan to Luke.
Darklighter and Klivian were members of different rebel cells on the
Rand Ecliptic. They mistakenly turned on each other and started a
mutiny. Darklighter's group temporarily fled the ship in TIE
fighters and Klivian's group combined with other rebels to take over
the ship. Afterwards they would take Rand Ecliptic to the Massassi
base on Yavin 4 and join the Rebellion.

After
officially becoming part of the Rebel Alliance, Biggs participated
in mission to steal X-wings from Incom. Later he went with a team to
Commenor to escort a shipment of R2 astromechs carried by smuggler
Captain Nera Dantels on her spaceship Starduster. Biggs became
romantically involved with Dantels. (story: Rogue
Squadron 1/2)
Shortly
thereafter, Luke would also join the Alliance after rescuing
Princess Leia Organa. The two old friends had a brief reunion on
Yavin 4 shortly before the attack on the Death Star. Biggs told Red
Squadron's leader, Garven Dreis, that Luke was the "best bush
pilot in the Outer Rim territories," convincing him that the
untrained young pilot would easily be able to fly a starfighter in
the upcoming battle. He assured Luke just before they parted for
their starfighters that it would "be like old times".
During the final attack run on the Death Star, Biggs and Wedge
Antilles flew as Luke's wingmen. Biggs was killed when Darth Vader
fired upon him while he was flanking Luke down the Death Star
trench. (story: A
