Technical Lieutenant Makkor von Urron served within the Imperial Navy's 181st Imperial Fighter Group as both a pilot and a technician. This Human male distinguished himself as a TIE ace, achieving eleven confirmed kills against Rebel BTL Y-wing starfighters during combat around Oovri II. An injury to his knee sustained in that battle forced him to retire from active flight duty. Subsequently, Makkor transitioned into a technical role under Technical Services Officer Brandei on the Executor. Brandei personally selected him to oversee the fifty-four repair technicians responsible for maintaining the equipment of Baron Soontir Fel's 181st unit. Despite his new role, Fel eventually persuaded him to return to flying within the squadron.
