Possibly Kasen Moor, from the Rogue Squadron game on the N64. She was a Tie Interceptor pilot who defected to the rebels.

Ru Murleen. They've already mined Rebel Assault for the TIE Phantom, so why not?
Seconded. Not only did the TIE Phantom come from Rebel Assault, but so did Jake Farrell, so that game's 2 for 2 in terms of quality additions to X-Wing. No reason they couldn't go 3 for 3. And she flew a couple of different ships, too-- an A-Wing and an X-Wing in the first game, and piloted a TIE Phantom in RA2-- so you've got a few potentially interesting options.
I was hoping Jess Pava would be a good low ps pilot like Ryad, but after the ARC preview I have no hope.
It bothers me that the Imperials have more gender equality, and good female pilots, than the Rebels
Terrorists are often macho pigs, no imperial officer would order a woman to make him a sandwich, we have slaves for that.
Aren't we two and two for "good" female pilots across the two factions?
I mean, empire is swamped full of "named" pilots that could swing any way on the gender spectrum and we'd be none the wiser
But rebels for sure have Miranda and now Norra, both of whom are certainly female and certified final boss material
There's also Jan ors I guess
Stacked against...Juno I think is the only actual named pilot?
Edited by ficklegreendiceWe currently have Ibtisam but there are a number of female pilots from Rogue Squadron like Plourr Ilo (can't remember the others) which I would like to see included in the game.
Is that Plourr Ilo in the SW Rebels 3rd season trailer along Wedge and (supposedly) Tycho?
We need Asyr Sei'lar!
I've got not problem with there being more female pilots in the game.
No furries though.

Echo is female, we just got Ryad in vets, of course there's also howlrunner you didn't mention.
Oh right forgot howlie
Not an actual named pilot but she has an actual face ![]()
But then there's also nera and fish lady Ibs
And Rey of course
And Sabine
Also Hera (twice)

Howlrunner has a name in EU fluff, but Whisper and Echo are confirmed female. Ryad and Juno as well.
Rebels wise there's Miranda and possibly Norra, but that remains to be seen on the ARC's dial and frankly I don't hold out hope on a 1 agi ship in the current meta. 3P0 and R2 aren't that great without the evade token backing you up, if you want to spend that much on her in the first place.
Jan isn't what I'd call good or easy to fit into a list, not that the Rebel HWKs are outstanding. Nera and Ibtisam are in the same place playability wise, Nera being the better B-wing if you want to try and make her work. Hera is sadly much better as a crew than a pilot, though Sabine is a lot of fun, I guess comparable to Juno in that she's fun and just on the cusp of good.
I know when echo was confirmed female but when was whisper confirmed? I don't remember that.

if you're only saying "good" in regards to the meta, then the request for "good" female pilots becomes pretty irrelevent
FFG's design of the meta (assuming they even have that much direct control, given certain disastrous implementations...re phantom) doesn't give half a **** as to the gender of the pilots. It's generally just the domination of a certain ship-type or archetype which may or may not have female named pilots based on who flew said ship in the fluff
not to mention Juno is never seen in the meta. Her direct superior (Vader) is also rarely seen (no thrusters) and the phantoms, while popping up occasionally, really aren't much better.
the only meta female pilot is Howlrunner, because she just so happens to have a home in Crackswarm
and Manaroo, who occasionally pops up with her husbando
if you just want "Good" female pilots, as in female pilots that just happen to be very potent in game, then Miranda and Norra are already cream of the crop. They just happen to have very unfortunate matchups versus torpedo scouts, which goes the same for basically literally every rebel pilot that isn't ordnance spam (which gets curb stomped by aces)
what you should be asking for is a more diverse and inclusive meta in general
soon as Jm5ks bugger off, though, rebel regen can come back to center stage. In which case, Miranda and Norra will be kicking all kinds of ass
can't say the same of Hera/fish lady/Nera, sadly

So you're either against all non-humans of just against the species with fur?
In both cases: poor Chewie

The Bothan pilot art posted is pretty disturbing.
I know when echo was confirmed female but when was whisper confirmed? I don't remember that.
Echo was never confirmed female, FAQ says female, every article where Echo's gender is mentioned says male. Affirmative action dictates that Echo is a she. However there's an article way back if do some digging that calls Whisper a she.
(saved y'all some digging in case anyone was interested in the article:https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2015/5/26/the-grand-design/
It's not likely, but it's entirely possible for a Binayre Pirate to launch a single unmodified Range "1" attack at a cloaked "Whisper," roll two hits and a crit, catch her flat-footed and with nothing but blanks for defense, punch through her shields, land a Direct Hit!, and score a kill.
Also this is one crazy necro.
