A native of Taanab, Wes Janson joined the Alliance and was assigned to Hoth’s Echo Base. During the Battle of Hoth, Lieutenant Janson served as tail gunner for Wedge Antilles under the call sign Rogue Three. After the AT-AT walkers’ armor proved too strong for blasters, Janson and Antilles were the first pilots to try Luke Skywalker’s risky strategy of using harpoons and tow cables to trip up the Imperial war machines.
