The Eimalgan Turn, a starship maneuver, got its name from Cargin Eimalgan, the celebrated Rebel Alliance starfighter ace. This maneuver consisted of transitioning a starship from a level flight path into a half loop, followed by a sharp roll and a complete directional reversal. Norra Wexley, a pilot of the New Republic, mastered it while performing combat cargo missions for the Alliance. During a skirmish in 5 ABY close to Wild Space, Norra executed this turn against the Imperial Star Destroyer known as the Scythe.
