Airten was a Human male sergeant of the Bespin Wing Guard, the main security force of Cloud City on the gas giant Bespin, during the Galactic Civil War.^[1] A burly Wing Guard member,^[2] his large size prevented him from becoming a pilot; however, joining the Wing Guard, Airten's non-standard build did not matter to Lando Calrissian, the planet's Baron Administrator. Airten was a sympathizer of the Alliance to Restore the Republic.^[1]

Personality and traitsEdit

Airten had light skin and hair. He wore the standard uniform for the Bespin Wing Guard. He also wielded a Relby-k23 blaster pistol.^[1]
