A pilot, who was Human and possessed blue eyes, commanded the Yavin Runner II. This four-engined shuttle transported Jedi students like Jaden Korr and Rosh Penin, who were members of the New Jedi Order. The Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4, a forested moon orbiting the planet Yavin Prime, was the destination for these students in 14 ABY.
The pilot, who was wearing attire reminiscent of Rebel troopers during the Battle of Yavin time, was in the cockpit when Tavion Axmis, a Dark Jedi, damaged one of the engines. The pilot successfully executed an emergency landing a few kilometers west of the Jedi Praxeum. Jedi Master Luke Skywalker was able to communicate with the pilot via a comm unit, and no one suffered significant injuries. Subsequently, the pilot led the students on foot to a nearby Massassi temple, where an Academy shuttle picked them up.
Nick Jameson provided the voice for this pilot, who made their initial appearance at the start of the video game Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, which was launched in 2003.
