Tiom Rordan was a male Human pilot of a starfighter. He fought for the Galactic Alliance in the Second Galactic Civil War. He was stationed on the Mawrunner, a frigate, and developed a romantic relationship with Syal Antilles. Her father, Wedge Antilles, did not entirely approve of this relationship. After dating for a period of less than twelve months, they made plans to marry once the war concluded. However, the Galactic Alliance Second Fleet, which included the Mawrunner, received orders to escort the Galactic Alliance Chief of State to discussions with the Confederation. During this time, the Confederation activated the Centerpoint Station superweapon, destroying the Second Fleet and causing Rordan's death. His death was a source of great sorrow for his fiancée, and it also resulted in the loss of her entire squadron.
Tiom Rordan's character has been featured in a pair of Star Wars creations, specifically the Star Wars: Legacy of the Force books Legacy of the Force: Exile and Legacy of the Force: Fury, both authored by Aaron Allston. His identity remained unknown until Fury, and he was only referenced, never appearing directly, in either instance.
