Zerelda Sage, a human, held the position of lead technician on the New Republic flagship, the Temperance. Growing up on a planet under Separatist control during the Clone Wars, she fostered a deep-seated suspicion towards droids. Conversely, she also acquired skills in disabling Separatist vessels. Post-war, she utilized her mechanical expertise in the podracing world. In the aftermath of the Battle of Endor, discarded parts from Sage's past were repurposed by New Republic pilots to create small X-wing starfighter models. Sage joined Vanguard Squadron to service their starfighters, and she greeted Vanguard Five as he came aboard.
