Serving as a gunner in small vessel like the Alliance snowspeeder requires strong communication and great faith in the pilot. Janson and Wedge Antilles had perfected their coordination as gunner and pilot during the Battle of Hoth. Janson was the first Alliance gunner to successfully use the snowspeeder's harpoon and tow cable to entangle and trip an Imperial walker.
