Ashlee Powell was one of the few people Aron Kellemann could really be said to have known growing up on Coruscant, and she followed him into the New Republic's starfighter corps. Even after he resigned following the destruction of Rapier Squadron, she remained in the starfighter corps, eventually rising to command a wing of fighters. She resigned her commission after the Yuuzhan Vong War, joining Kellemann in founding the Firewings. Though not Force-sensitive in her own right, she has some control over it via a mental link to Kellemann.
