Ben Teene served as a pilot during the Evacuation of D'Qar, operating the MG-100 StarFortress SF-17 known as the Crimson Bolide. As a male human, he was part of the bomber unit and detected approaching First Order starfighters targeting the Resistance squadrons. He alerted his fellow pilots, but tragically, he was killed with the rest of his squadron during the assault on the Mandator IV-class Siege Dreadnought, the Fulminatrix.
In Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi, the 2017 sequel trilogy movie, Ben Morris played Ben Teene. While credited only as "Resistance Bomber Pilot Teene," the name "BEN" can be seen written in Aurebesh on his helmet within the film. Later, Fantasy Flight Games' Star Wars: X-Wing Second Edition established Ben as the character's given name via the 2018 expansion, Resistance Conversion Kit.
