A Pash Crack-en time?!?

Hi all,

I was wondering how old Pash or his sister would've been during or slightly before ANH. Thanks in advance!

I'm guessing Pash Cracken would have been about the same age as Luke, eighteen or so. He would have been training at the Imperial Academy, or preparing to. His sister Dena Cracken would have been about three.

 

Thanks, is there any info on what happened while in the Imperial Acad. or when he left?

 

From the Official Site:

The son of an Alliance war hero, it wasn't long before Pash Cracken's esteem grew to rival that of his father, General Airen Cracken. At a young age, Pash showed exceptional piloting skills, flying solo by the age of 13. Being schooled in morality by his father, he also knew of the evil that was the Galactic Empire, and wanted to join the fight against tyranny.

He left Contruum with his father, and the elder Cracken encouraged young Pash to enroll at the Imperial Academy on Vensenor. The Sector Academy campus had long been a fertile recruiting ground for the Rebellion. Airen Cracken provided his son with a false identity to pursue his education free of Imperial attention.

While Pash Cracken was already an amazing pilot, he proved to be an exceptional tactician as well. His plans were unorthodox and often reckless, but in repeated combat simulation, they were unbeatable. Pash also became a capable leader, inspiring a devotion in his teammates that was testament to his command skills.

Pash graduated in the top one percent of his class, and was immediately commissioned into the Imperial Navy, where he served as a wing commander. He and his entire wing of 72 starfighters defected to the Rebel Alliance. The details of the defection remained classified, but it was a scandalous to the upper echelons of the Imperial Navy, and Lord Vader himself was said to have taken interest in this debacle.

Pash's group was dubbed the Cracken Flight Group, and was stationed at the Alliance base in the Xyquine system. Cracken's pilots distinguished themselves inn hit-and-run raids against Imperial shipments. When Xyquine needed to be abandoned, Cracken came up with the ingeniously simple tactic of feeding disinformation to eavesdropping Imperials that misdirected Imperial blockades attempting to stop the fleeing Rebels. Pash's tactic of subtracting the number two from the second digit of the transmitted exit vector coordinates was dubbed "The Cracken Twist."

Shortly after the Battle of Endor, Cracken's Flight Group were reassigned to the Generis system in the Atrivis sector, where they served in the protection of the Outer Rim comm center. When Rogue Squadron announced that it was seeking pilots to fill vacancies, Captain Cracken applied, leaving stewardship of his group to Wing Commander Varth.
