Bon Yoth was a male human who served in the Rebel Alliance in the Galactic Civil War. Years before he argued with General Carlist Rieekan and left the Rebel Alliance. He was the contact of Princess Leia Organa on the planet Basteel in the mission known as Operation Yellow Moon. He helped to place a hyper-transceiver beacon in the Corva sector in an attempt to distract the Galactic Empire from the Alliance Fleet gathering over Sullust in order to launch its assault on the Death Star II at Endor. However, he wasn't interested in rejoining the Rebel Alliance.
