Shanya Fayan

Shanya Fayan served as a strategical analyst in the Defiance Fleet. She was not force-sensitive but believed in The Force and believed that The Force resides in all living things. In 2 BBY, Fayan joined the Defiance Fleet and served as an analyst and often organised and assigned missions to other members of the Rebellion.

When The Defiance Fleet were in the process of making preparations to relocate from Martupé to Yavin IV, The Empire discovered their location and a brutal and large battle broke out on The Planet’s surface. Shanya fought alongside the rest of the Fleet but was shot down by Stormtroopers. She was one of the many rebel casualties in the Battle of Martupé.
