Omin-Oreh, hailing originally from a star system situated on the lower edge of the Outer Rim, was a pilot within the ranks of the Rebel Alliance. Known for his quiet demeanor, he rarely spoke, and when he did, his voice was notably gentle. Stationed aboard the Mon Calamari Star Cruiser named Independence, Omin-Oreh distinguished himself as a skilled pilot, particularly adept at deflection shooting, leading others to describe him as "likely to survive."
Captain Keyan Farlander selected Omin-Oreh to be his wingman, alongside Namrhe, for what appeared to be a standard escort assignment. These three Red Squadron pilots, flying BTL Y-wing starfighters, were tasked with safeguarding the shuttle Hunter as it captured an Imperial transport vessel carrying officers destined for the Death Star.
After launching at 0455 hours, by 0547 Omin-Oreh found himself recuperating in a bacta tank aboard the Independence. He had sustained severe injuries when his craft was downed while shielding Farlander from fighters launched by the Imperial Immortal, as Farlander fought to prevent the enemy from retaking the transport.
Following his recovery, he went back to active duty just before the capture of the frigate Priam.
