Species: Human Gender: Male Affiliation: Rebel Alliance

Major Derlin was an Alliance field officer assigned to the Rebel base on Hoth at the time of the battle that drove the Rebels from that system. He was the one burdened with the task of breaking terrible news to Princess Leia Organa. When her friends, Han Solo and Luke Skywalker, were stranded outside in a Hoth blizzard, Derlin had to inform her that the shield doors to Echo Base must be closed for the night. A stoic Leia complied, putting the safety of the Alliance base over her personal concerns for her friends.
