"The lieutenant and I once knew a very fine Human pilot who went by 'Piggy.' There's no 'derogatory component' to it in this squadron. Rather, it's a badge of honor I hope you can live up to."
―Wedge Antilles to Voort saBinring
Jek Tono Porkins, who flew as Red Six during the Battle of Yavin, was the first Rebel pilot to die in the battle. He got the nickname "Belly Runner" from both his skill at low-altitude strafing runs and his tubby gut
He, like so many others, gained experience flying in the cockpit of a T-16 skyhopper. He was a friend of Biggs Darklighter and was a member of the Y-wing Tierfon Yellow Aces Squadron with Wes Janson. When Janson was down with an seemingly ill-timed case of Hesken Fever, Jek took his place in Red Squadron and transferred to Yavin 4. Later, Jek went with a team to Commenor to escort a shipment of R2 astromechs carried by smuggler Captain Nera Dantels.
Jek flew Red Squadron during the Rebel's attack on the Death Star I. Though his X-wing fighter was maneuverable enough to avoid the Death Star's sluggish turbolasers, a mechanical malfunction hampered his ability to dodge enemy fire. Jek, perhaps due to his bulk, always set his acceleration compensator to full power, and unfortunately in this case it caused him to misjudge his altitude. He needed a short break to restabilize, and then he was shot to pieces by turbolaser turrets.
