Theron Nett was a smuggler from Ord Mantell. He later became a Rebel X-wing pilot, wingmate of Red Squadron's leader, Garven Dreis during his Trench Run. During typical missions, he was the wingman of Red Nine, his close friend Lt. Naytaan.[source?]

During the Battle of Yavin, he flew as Red Ten and was killed when a TIE Fighter pilot destroyed his X-wing while he was escorting Red Leader down the Death Star's trench. His astromech droid onboard Red 10 was R2-X2.

[edit] Behind the scenes

The death of "Red 10".

Theron Nett was played by Mauy Chaykin, who is strangely uncredited: Theron has just as many lines as Biggs or Porkins or any of the other minor pilots who were credited.

The depiction of Theron's death strangely shows him with the helmet worn by Wes Janson in The Empire Strikes Back. This may even be footage of a different actor. There is some speculation that this is the actor intended to be Red 12, whose fighter is destroyed moments before, but this has never been confirmed.
