The fiery tempered red-haired beauty
named Ranna Gorjaye is the flight comm-
ander for the FarStar's complement of
starfighters – although at times one could
mistake her for the FarStar's captain. She
knows how to get her job done without
wasting pilots or starfighters.
While she might be abrasive and pushy at
times, Gorjaye is a valued member of the
FarStar command team.
Gorjaye takes no guff from anyone - on the
flight deck, in formation and in combat, her
word is law. Anyone who disagrees with her
can sit out the next mission. She has
supreme trust in her abilities and her pilots.
Gorjaye is a hard taskmaster, though, and
insists that her pilots pay close attention
during briefings, hang on every order she
gives, and execute her orders perfectly
and without question. This discipline keeps
the FarStar's pilots alive - when it's
disobeyed, people die in combat and
starships are lost.
Gorjaye is the scourge of the docking bay.
She's often found yelling orders, bossing the
technicians around, and chewing out anyone
who's getting in the way. To Gorjaye, having
all craft in "ready“ status is the optimal state
of operation - unfortunately, this is rarely the
case. The docking hangar is her domain, and
anyone questioning her authority there, or
trying to usurp it, is quickly and ruthlessly
corrected.

Gorjaye was initially a squadron leader in
the New Republic task force which drove
Moff Sarne from Kal'Shebbol. She didn't
choose to serve on the FarStar; she was
assigned to the duty, and she's very upset
about being dumped on this "losers'
mission."

Gorjaye doesn't trust the "hotshot com-
mandos" or the FarStar command team -

she thinks they're going to get everyone
killed and that they don't plan before they
act. She firmly believes that the FarStar's
situation would be better if she were in
charge.

Occasionally Gorjaye visits the bridge to
dole out her free advice and tactical know-
how. She doesn't get along with Ciro or

Adrimetum, although Captain Ciro's younger
brother, Noell, has a good deal of faith in
Gorjaye, which has caused Captain Ciro
to modify his views. Adrimetrum and Gorjaye
particularly don't agree - while they may
agree on the end result, they argue over the
finer points of how to achieve it.
When barking out her free advice on the
FarStar's bridge, Gorjaye is often asked to
leave - in more critical times, she's some-
times escorted away.

Unlike most of the FarStar's crew, Gorjaye
makes sure her peers and underlings know
about her colorful past. She often boasts of
her years of starfighter service with the
Rebel Alliance and the New Republic,
quoting battles and actions nonchalantly to
add authenticity to her authority.
Her greatest achievement, and the one
she mentions most often, is her training and
graduation at the top of her class from the
Raithal Academy's flight corps program.
But while she brags about her past, a good
deal of it still remains in shadow.
