Zev Senesca was a starfighter pilot with Rogue Squadron in the Alliance to Restore the Republic, and flew as Rogue Two during the Battle of Hoth.

Biography
Originally from Kestic Station in the Bestine system, Zev Senesca was born to parents sympathetic to the Rebellion. The Senescas often ran weapons for the Alliance, and Zev himself joined the resistance movement at a young age. Sadly for Zev, the Galactic Empire learned of his parents' activities, and the Imperial Star Destroyer Merciless destroyed Kestic Station with his parents onboard. Zev initially saw the Rebellion as the cause of his parents' deaths, and set out as an independent trader. During this time, Zev realized that he had been partly responsible for the deaths of his parents, after learning that the information leak had sprung from Zev's conversation about his parents' activities to a supposed friend. Zev came to realize the true extent of the Empire's evil, and these truths served to harden his revolve in the fight against Palpatine's regime.

During the evacuation of Alis Point base, Senesca single-handedly held off three TIE/ln starfighters, an action that helped earn the pilot a place in Commander Narra's Rogue Squadron. Following the Battle of Yavin, Senesca, alongside Wedge Antilles, helped defend grounded members of the squadron from TIE fighters on an uncharted world. Due in part to Senesca's actions, Luke Skywalker and Narra escaped the planet with their lives, and in the company of the clone trooper Able.

Senesca served at Echo Base on Hoth following the Battle of Yavin. After Skywalker and his friend, Han Solo, went missing in the icy wastes, Zev led the snowspeeder patrol sent out to locate them. He successfully found Skywalker and Solo stranded amid the snow after an overnight blizzard.

Later, Zev took part in the Battle of Hoth, flying a snowspeeder into combat against invading Imperial forces to cover the escape of Echo Base personnel. Zev was killed in action when his snowspeeder was destroyed by an AT-AT walker.
