Her fate is detailed in Dark Disciple which I think was adapted from two episode arcs (8 episodes) that would have been covered in season 6 and 7 of Clone Wars but due to the show getting cancelled it was never animated. The reason she is a pilot for the ship though is because that class of ship was originally created to be her ship for those arcs but they changed a little bit and ended up reusing it for Rebels instead.

The point is that we do have at least one pilot already in the game that died between Star Wars Episode II and Episode III. Certainly there are plenty of other cases of ships, pilots, and crew that were possibly alive (or known to exist) in this period that are also in the game - but there are always those that argue against the significance of those because they might have also existed outside that period (and, of course, we know some DO, so...yeah. Anyway.)

Someone canonically dead before Episode III starts, though...that basically puts the nail in that coffin.

I mean, didn't the GCW-ONLY policy end when the Resistance and First Order were included...?

People argued that was a continuation of the same war. People do like to stretch.

Well, I’m still disappointed to learn her fate, but good, that does seem to prove FFG’s willingness to go back to that era. Now, where are our Clone Wars era factions FFG? Get a move on. People will whine if they buy heavily into one of the existing factions then a faction they prefer comes out a month later!

Oh, I wasn't arguing against having prequel factions and content, was mostly just pointing out why she was a pilot for the ship. I personally hope to see Republic and CIS factions, even if my wallet might not be so eager.

Destiny just got podracing.

It's gonna happen sooner or later.

It was never an actual thing anyway. We've had tons of ships outside that timeline.

Eh, some historians consider WWI and WWII basically the same war with an intermission. This isn't really a novel concept.

If they tried to use that argument to use Spitfires in a WW1 game I think other players would frown at them
