Biography[]
Essara Till was born in 68 BBY on Naboo, and in 49 BBY she set out to become a mercenary on planets such as Agamar, seeking to explore the galaxy. However, she was upset by the corruption and left the Garqi Agricultural Combine's services and returned home to join the Naboo Royal Space Fighter Corps. She led Bravo Squadron, and she trained Rhys Dallows in flying their starfighters in a canyon. When the Trade Federation lured Queen Padme Amidala out of Naboo into their blockade to negotiate, Till and Dallows escorted her ship, but Trade Federation-hired mercenaries attacked them. The two of them worked well together on their first mission, destroying several Trade Federation starfighters as the Queen's royal ship made the jump to hyperspace and escaped the attack. However, before the two Bravo Squadron starfighters could also escape, Till was surprised from behind by a mercenary leader and her ship blown up before she could react. Dallows' ship was also incapacitated by the mercenary leader, although he would later avenge her by killing the mercenary in the Battle of Naboo later in 32 BBY.
