Tess Alder, also known by her callsign "Rogue Two," was a female Human hailing from the planet of Corellia. During the era of the Galactic Civil War, she served as a pilot for the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Her exceptional abilities and demonstrated reliability led to her selection by Leia Organa for a clandestine team tasked with identifying a traitor within the Alliance's ranks. This team operated in complete secrecy, with only Mon Mothma, in addition to its members, being aware of their operations. In addition to locating the mole, they were also assigned the mission of scouting for a new planet to serve as the Alliance's base of operations.
The initial appearance of Tess Alder occurred in issue number 2 of the Star Wars comic book series, published by Dark Horse Comics. Brian Wood penned the script for this issue, while Carlos D'Anda provided the illustrations, and Gabe Eltaeb handled the coloring. Its release date was February 13, 2013.
