Nien Nunb was a Sullustan male arms
dealer
and smuggler who joined the Alliance to
Restore the Republic during the Galactic
Civil
War. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Nunb
answered the call from his friend, Rebel
pilot
Evaan Verlaine, to help smuggle a group of
Alderaanians off of Sullust while avoiding
detection from the Galactic Empire; the
Empire was searching for surviving
Alderaanians after Death Star I blew up its
first planet, Alderaan. He went on to further
assist Verlaine and Princess Leia Organa in
their mission to unite the surviving
Alderaanians, during which time he helped
Organa escape from potential Imperial
captivity.

Only a few years later, Nunb became part of
the Alliance Fleet and flew as the co-pilot
for
General Lando Calrissian aboard the
Millennium Falcon during the Battle of
Endor.
Together, they fought against Imperial
forces
while attempting to destroy the Death Star
II
in orbit of the forest moon of Endor. Their
battle was a success, and the Millennium
Falcon fired the shot that destroyed the
Death
Star and delivered a devastating blow to
the
Galactic Empire.

Three decades later, Nunb was a starfighter
pilot with the military rank of Lieutenant
Commander in the Resistance and fought in
the cold war, including the Battle of
Starkiller
Base. After the Battle of Crait Nunb was left
as
one of the few surviving Resistance
members
and successfully escaped with the
remainder
of the Resistance.
