Samoc Farr was a Human female regarded as one of the best pilots serving with the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the height of the Galactic Civil War. She grew up on the planet Chandrila in a family that was loyal to Chandrilan native and eventual Rebel Alliance Chief of State Mon Mothma and firmly opposed to the Galactic Empire. Samoc and her older sister, Toryn, secretly joined the Rebellion after they were reportedly killed in a staged transport crash and then taken offworld. The Farr sisters were eventually both assigned to the Rebel headquarters of Echo Base on the ice planet Hoth.
