We already know thanks to the game’s reveal trailer that the game’s protagonist, Iden Versio, leader of the Inferno Squad, has seen the destruction of the second Death Star, but as it turns out, she’s actually seen a lot more.
It turns out that Iden Versio also witnessed the explosion of the first Death Star during the Battle of Yavin when Luke Skywalker blew it up with the help of the Force.
A new Star Wars novel titled Inferno Squad, written by Christie Gordon, is dropping in soon, and it tells the backstory of Iden and her squad.
Versio, it turns out, was piloting a TIE-fighter during the battle, and was one of the few Empire agents that managed to escape with her life.
