- "I'm hit!"
- ―Ekelarc Yong
Ekelarc Yong was a Human male serving in the Rebel Alliance as a starfighter pilot. He flew as Gray Three with Gray Squadron's Y-wing starfighters under Colonel Horton Salm during the Battle of Endor. He held the rank of lieutenant at the time of the battle.
Following the destruction of a wingless Mon Calamari star cruiser by the second Death Star, Ekelarc joined the Millennium Falcon and a squad of starfighters, including an X-wing flown by Grizz Frix and his Y-wing, against the Imperial Fleet.
During the attack on the Star Destroyers, he was shot down by two TIE fighters. Losing control and spinning wildly, he made one last cry, "I'm hit!," before crashing into the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer Chimaera.
His astromech droid during the battle was R5-P9.
