Ashy, a male pilot of the Rattataki species, served in the Republic Navy. He was initially taken in by two Imperial nobles, who gave him the name Ashy, referencing the hue of his species' skin color. They led Ashy to think he had a chance to enlist in the Imperial Military, by having him wear an Imperial officer's uniform to social gatherings. Ashy ran away to the Galactic Republic to become a starfighter pilot when he realized that his adoptive parents were just toying with him and that he would never be an Imperial soldier.
