Longmar, a male and commander, was known as Captain within the Rebel Alliance. He held the position of commander for the Pegasus Strike Force, and in that role, he was the captain of the Liberty Gambler frigate.
After his strike force was compelled to relinquish two of its most formidable warships, he understood that his fleet would be unable to compete with the Imperial-class Star Destroyer known as Behemoth, which was searching for the Rebels. Consequently, he dispatched a team of agents to Orellon II to determine if it could serve as a suitable safe world for his forces.
