A Mon Calamari, identifiable by their orange skin and distinctive eyes, was observed in Dac City on the planet of Mon Cala. This individual was dressed in beige clothing. During 34 ABY, a Quarren committed an act of sabotage against a shuttle intended for use by several members of the Resistance to depart the planet. The Mon Calamari, upon seeing the resulting detonation, expressed profound grief and disbelief at the apparent deaths of General Leia Organa and the Mon Calamari Aftab Ackbar, uttering their names in despair.
However, before the Mon Calamari could fully express their disbelief, Rey, a Jedi-in-training, completed the statement of "it can't be…" by affirming "it… it seems it can." Rey had employed the Force to levitate numerous crates, thereby creating a protective barrier that shielded herself and her fellow Resistance members from the destructive force of the explosion.
This particular Mon Calamari made an appearance in the fourth issue of the Star Wars: Allegiance comic series. The comic was authored by Ethan Sacks, with illustrations provided by Luke Ross, and was brought to publication by Marvel Comics on October 30, 2019. Prior to the comic's official release, the character's existence was revealed through a preview featured in an article on StarWars.com, which was published on October 23 of the same year.
