Falback Kord, a male Human hailing from the planet Tinnel IV, served as a pilot for the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War. He supplied the Alliance with engines for a new Imperial TIE/IN interceptor model, and also aided in their incorporation into the Alliance's flight simulations. Despite whispers within the Alliance suggesting his father was an associate of Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin, his exceptional performance and perceived reliability led to his selection by Leia Organa for a team tasked with identifying a mole within the Alliance. This team operated covertly, known only to Mon Mothma besides its members. In addition to uncovering the mole, they were also charged with locating a viable planet for the Alliance to establish a new base.
The character Falback Kord made his debut in issue number 2 of the Star Wars comic book series (titled Star Wars (2013) 2), which was released by Dark Horse Comics. The comic was written by Brian Wood, with illustrations by Carlos D'Anda and colors by Gabe Eltaeb. Its release date was February 13, 2013.
