I received today the "Rogue One Ultimate Visual Guide", and there is a gorgeous list of all the Rebel Alliance pilots which appear in that movie. I would like to list them here, so you can have an idea of how FFG could expand the current Rebel unique pilot roster.

RED SQUADRON (X-wings)

Red 5 - Pedrin Gaul.

Red 6 - Derek Klivian (yes, we already have it, but it is interesting to see him listed)

Red 7 - Harb Binli.

Red 8 - Zal Dinnes.

Red 9 - Nozzo Naytaan (he will reapper -and die- at the Battle of Yavin)

Red 11 - Ralo Surrel.

GREEN SQUADRON (X-wings)

Green 2 - Torge Gommer

Green 3 - Riss Clyos

Green 4 - Attico Wred

Green 6 - Chaff Korus

Green 7 - Namen Takamen

Green 10 - Broan Danurs

Green 12 - Wion Dillems.

GOLD SQUADRON (Y-wings)

Gold 3 - Evaan Verlaine (she appears later in the "Princess Leia" comics, so she survives Scarif and Yavin. She IS NOT the blonde female pilot who appeared on some trading cards).

Gold 6 - Brace Marko

Gold 7 - Gazdo Woolcob

Gold 8 - Datchi Creel

Gold 9 - Wona Goban

BLUE SQUADRON (comprised of X-wings,. U-wings and some Y-wings)

Blue Leader - Antoc Merrick

Blue 2 - Torius Chord

Blue 3 - Jaldine Gerams

Blue 4 - Barion Raner

Blue 5 - Farns Monsbee

Blue 6 - Vangos Grek (he is the pilot of the X-wing who collides against the shield gate)

Blue 7 - Robich Duggsin

Blue 8 - Heff Tobber (U-wing pilot, it seems it is quite easy to confuse this pilot with Biggs Darklighter, he doesn't reaches Scarif, so maybe he survived the battle)

Blue 9 - Calum Gram

Blue 11 - Laren Joma (U-wing pilot)

Blue 12 - Paril Ritta (Y-wing pilot)

Of course, many of these pilots could be represented as a generic " Squadron Pilot".

This is sweet!

On the one hand, great. More X Wing pilots for the inevitable Aces pack. On the other... with these guys in the mix, the odds of ever seeing Gavin Darklighter, Voort saBring, Ooryl Qyrrg, Myn Donos, Kell Tainer etc. in game seem to have dropped effectively to zero. :/

Very cool! Mine is on order should be here soon. Would love to have packs of Pilot cards for the Rebels, but I doubt it will happen. This makes it possible to make my own though.

Does the list include which pilots were killed in action or wounded?

FFG please bring them all out as unique pilots with astrommechs ept's and a few title cards

wait your title said "visual guide" - I expect PICTURES!

This is disappointing ... Jek Porkins was Red 6 at the Battle of Yavin ... Derek "Hobbie" Klivian didn't appear until the Battle of Hoth in ESB ... so I wonder what happened to Hobbie during the Death Star assault that resulted in Jek taking over his position during the Trench Run?

So that's at least, like...

...four expansions, right?

Kyla, I may be wrong, but in the old legends fiction, Hobbie was sick with an STI (space transmitted infection) and was Red 5, replaced at Yavin by Luke.

Yeap luke was red 5 and i seem to remember something like that about hobbie as well

In Legends Luke replaced another pilot who was drunk.

Not drunk - measles (Vader's Quest). A different ( older ) Legends story from the one with Hobbie's illness.

Apparently, it was that guy's X-wing, rather than that guy's spot in Red Squadron, that Luke got:

there's always SOME truth in legends .....

Why was this guy not in?

I guess he couldn't hold it.

Why does the 'Red Squadron' list only start at Red 5?

Is it because the first 4 members are Garven, Wedge, Biggs and John D?

EDIT: Also I thought Gold 3 was 'Tiree' and Gold 5 was 'Pops'...

Red Leader and Gold Leader would be Garven Dreis and Jon Vander. They are mentioned in the Visual Guide, but I didn't added them because we already knew they were there.

I haven't seen any mention to Wedge nor Biggs. Maybe they were transferred to Red Squadron from another squadron to replace the losses suffered at Scarif, just as Luke replaces the Red Five pilot who dies at Scarif.

Jek Porkins is briefly mentioned as Red Six in the Red Eight (Zal Dinnes) entry, as both come from the Tierfon Yellow Aces Squadron, but there isn't any other reference to Porkins, so he is not mentioned as fighting at Scarif.

If you wan't to see photos of the new pilots, just wait form them to be added at the Star Wars wikia.

As a sidenote, the TIE Striker description mentions some fighter-bomber capabilities which I haven't seen in the TIE Striker cards previewed by FFG. The fighter is crewed by two (pilot and gunner), and has a proton bomb bay. I haven't seen any "TIE Striker" Ship card with the "Crew" or "Bomb" Upgrade icons in its Upgrade bar ( https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2016/12/5/a-swift-and-vigilant-defense/ ), and I have the suspicion that this is no mistake made by FFG. Most probably, Disney only gave FFG descriptions of the TIE Striker mentioning their air combat specialization and how they are used to guard planetary bases, and FFG had to work with just that, and all this added detail (including the two-person crew and bombing capabilities) were added much later. So I would expect to eventually see some "Veterans of Scarif" pack with a TIE Striker-only Title Card saying "your Upgrade bar gains the 'Crew' and 'Bomb' upgrades" (there would be some added drawback, of course).

Gold 5 was "Pops", but Tiree was Gold 2, not Gold 3 (so the Y-wing trench run was done by Gold Leader, Gold 2 and Gold 5).

The Visual Guide doesn't explains the fate of each pilot at the Battle of Scarif. We can assume that Blue Squadron was annihilated (save for those fortunate enough to not reach the Shield Gate in time and survive the space battle - we know that Herb Tobber does the former, but we don't know if it did the latter). We also know what happened to Red Five...

Huh, Green Squadron, strange. Green Leader doesn't report in like the Blue, Gold and Red.

But I think they actually have green X-wings:

... I think . Eh, can't wait for the BR release to catch all the details, but that's a few months away :/ I will look for it on a big screen in a few days.

This set of shots:

also showed at least one X-wing with greenish bands as I recall.

Ok. The real question is when do we get a 'Top Gun'-esque X-Wing movie? Tell me that wouldn't be the greatest thing ever...

As long as it stars "Duchess"

Danger Zone!

"Leia...Leia...Leia! LEIA! LEIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

"What Han?!"

"Hehe...Danger Zoooone"

I really hope they finally get around to a Rogue Squadron style movie. The Pilots are one of the few things the Star Wars Movie/TV verse has never really focused on outside of 'Our main heroes are good at it'.

Hear hear, would love that. Just, without the Top Gun feeling.

Despite being a guy interested in flying stuff, Top Gun never really interested me and I've never finished it.

I just wanna see Rogue Squadron get to work.
