Fresia was a terrestrial planet that was home to the Coromon Headhunter. During the Clone Wars, the world's Galactic Republic senator, Seti Ashgad, simply vanished. At some point between 19 BBY and 5 BBY, the partisans of resistance fighter Saw Gerrera conducted a violent raid on an Incom Corporation warehouse on Fresia and stole eight T-65 X-wing starfighters. By 1 BBY, the Alliance to Restore the Republic had arrived on the planet and recruited the human Fresia native Jaldine Gerams as a pilot.
Description[]
Fresia was a terrestrial planet[1] that was home to the fierce creature known as the Coromon Headhunter.[3]
History[]
Rebel pilot and computer specialist Jaldine Gerams was born on Fresia.
Around 61 BBY,[6] the human Jaldine Gerams[4] was born a native of Fresia. She became a programmer[1] and computer specialist, authoring starfighter simulator programs and logging countless hours[4] while dreaming of flying a real starfighter.[7] During the Clone Wars, Fresia was represented in the Senate of the Galactic Republic by Senator Seti Ashgad; however, during the war there were increased death threats and assassination attempts on all senators and Ashgad simply vanished.[5]
The starship manufacturer Incom Corporation maintained a warehouse on Fresia in which it stored T-65 X-wing starfighters,[2] also borrowing the name of the Coromon Headhunter for the Z-95 Headhunter starfighter the company produced with Sublights Products Corporation.[3] At some point between 19 BBY and 5 BBY,[8] the resistance fighter Saw Gerrera saw the value of X-wing starfighters and stole eight from the warehouse on Fresia during a violent raid carried out by his partisans. He then used the vehicles to form the Cavern Angels squadron.[2] By 1 BBY,[6] the Alliance to Restore the Republic had arrived on Fresia and encountered Gerams, who jumped at the chance to join up on the day she encountered them so that she could fly a real starfighter as a rebel pilot.[1]
