Hol Okand was a male human who fought as a starfighter pilot in the Rebel Alliance throughout the Galactic Civil War. During the Battle of Yavin in 0 BBY, Okand piloted a BTL-A4 Y-wing assault starfighter/bomber as a member of Gold Squadron. By the battle's end, he and the majority of his squadron had perished, with only one surviving.
The character Hol Okand initially appeared as an anonymous Rebel Pilot in the 1977 movie Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. His identity and a short backstory were later introduced in the Special Edition Limited expansion for the Star Wars Customizable Card Game, which was released in November of 1998. It's worth noting that while Decipher identified him as part of Gold Squadron, a squadron mainly composed of Y-Wings, Okand is depicted sitting in an X-Wing in the film.
