Star Wars: Starfighter: Crossbones is a comic book series consisting of three issues. Dark Horse Comics published it between January 9, 2002 and March 13, 2002. The setting is 24 BBY. This series is a spin-off from the popular video game Starfighter. Although it wasn't released as a standalone trade paperback, it was later included in Star Wars Omnibus: Menace Revealed.
The narrative focuses on the pirate captain Nym as he pursues his adversary Sol Sixxa on the planet Maramere.
The original concept for Star Wars Starfighter: Crossbones stipulated that it should only feature alien characters. Ramón F. Bachs, the author, received a specific request to exclude Humans. However, he managed to persuade the rest of the team to include a single Human as a background character within the cantina scene. This Human was a caricature of Skippy Farlstendoiro, a Star Wars enthusiast who had frequently met Bachs, often disguised as a Mon Calamari. Consequently, "Farlstendoiro" was depicted alongside a Mon Calamari. Furthermore, Vana Sage (in a hologram) appeared as another human in the first issue.
