Biography
Gold Squadron pilot
Lepira was a human male who served as a rebel pilot in the Starfighter Corps of the Alliance to Restore the Republic's navy during the Galactic Civil War. He flew as a member of Gold Squadron, a BTL-A4 Y-wing assault starfighter/bomber squadron led by Gold Leader Jon Vander as part of the Massassi Group based in the rebels' Great Temple headquarters on the moon Yavin 4.
In 0 BBY, the Galactic Empire's Death Star superweapon arrived in the Yavin system in order to destroy the rebel base. Lepira sat next to pilot Elyhek Rue during a meeting in the temple, in which General Jan Dodonna briefed the assembled rebel pilots on a weakness in the Death Star's thermal exhaust port that they would need to use to destroy it. Once the briefing was complete, Lepira and the rest of Gold Squadron took off alongside the X-wing starfighters of Red Squadron and Green Squadron.
Battle of Yavin
Once the Alliance began its initial attack on the Death Star, Vander split Gold Squadron, ordering pilots Dex Tiree and Davish Krail to accompany him in heading for the battle station's meridian trench while Lepira and the four other pilots split off from the trio and held back. Gazdo Woolcob then became the first member of the squadron to be killed, after which Vander commanded Lepira and the other three remaining pilots to engage the Empire's TIE fighters as he, Tiree, and Krail entered the trench.
Vander and both his wingmen perished in the trench, with Lepira and two other members of the squadron also dying at some point prior to Red Leader Garven Dreis starting his own trench run. Dreis's trench run also failed, but Red Squadron pilot Luke Skywalker then successfully destroyed the Death Star, leaving Lieutenant Evaan Verlaine as the only member of Gold Squadron to survive the battle.
