Kaydel Ko Connix
Kaydel Ko Connix was born in 13 ABY.
Kaydel Ko Connix is best known as one of the steady voices in the Resistance command center, relaying orders between Leia Organa's staff and the pilots in the thick of the First Order–Resistance War. She served as an operations controller in Fleet Command at the D'Qar base. After coordinating communications during the attack on Starkiller Base, she was promoted to lieutenant. Her first job at that rank was running the evacuation of D'Qar, and she got off the planet on one of the last shuttles before the Dreadnought Fulminatrix destroyed the base. During the Resistance fleet's flight, she helped Poe Dameron hide Finn and Rose Tico's secret departure and then joined his mutiny against Vice Admiral Holdo, until Leia stunned Poe and Connix surrendered. She survived the near destruction of the Resistance on Crait and escaped with the last survivors aboard the Millennium Falcon. Leia forgave her and let her keep her rank. Connix went on to help build the new base on Ajan Kloss. At the Battle of Exegol she joined the boarding team that struck the Star Destroyer Steadfast's navigation tower, where she was wounded in the leg, and she lived to celebrate the First Order's defeat.
