Wodi Quix
"Yeah, they're bringing in everyone: Gold Squadron, Green Squadron, Corona Squadron, Blade Squadron, Red Squadron. We're really gonna win the war. I can feel it in my bones. Before you know it, the Empire will be history and Princess Leia will bring everyone together."

- Wodi Quix to fellow soldiers on the Invincible Faith 

Wodi Quix was a human male soldier who served in the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the early rebellion and Galactic Civil War. Serving as a lieutenant in the Alliance Special Forces, Quix participated in many battles throughout the galactic conflict until the war's conclusion at the Battle of Jakku.

Thirty years later, frustrated with the New Republic's unwillingness to act against the threat of the First Order, Quix joined the ranks of the Resistance under the leadership of General Leia Organa along with many other disgruntled Galactic Civil War veterans. Present at the Battle of Crait, Quix was among the few members of the Resistance to escape the planet.

Early life
"Wodi, stay out of sight. We'll handle these moofers."

- Antares Quix's last words to his son

Born on the Core World of Brentaal IV, Quix became an orphan after witnessing both his parents' deaths in a pirate attack onboard their freighter in the Mid Rim. Found drifting in his derelict vessel by a band of sympathetic smugglers, Quix was taken aboard and brought back to his homeworld, where the Galactic Empire had fully taken over.

Moving in with a family friend, Quix took numerous odd jobs, where he often got a close look at Imperial policies, which shocked him.

Sometime later, after witnessing the Empire's sense of justice on a group of protesters in the form of poison gas and blaster fire, Quix joined up with the local resistance, but was unsatisfied with the results and the groups' small-scale thinking. It was during this time he picked up on a larger rebellion attempting to fight the Empire. Interested, and after tuning to several secret broadcasts put out by the rebels, Quix located and ventured to a secret rebel cell on Dantooine, where he volunteered.

The Rebellion
"The Empire hurts people and planets to get what it wants, and it doesn't care how or how much. I saw a lot of stuff on Brentaal. Saw what the Empire truly is. Being in the local resistance wasn't enough anymore. They only wanted freedom for Brentaal. I couldn't agree with that."

- Wodi Quix, talking with the rebels on Dantooine

Resistance on Brentaal
During his time in the local Brentaalian resistance, Quix aided his fellows in stealing caches of supplies, liberating Imperial prisoners, hijacking the local HoloNet, and generally disrupting Imperial order. However, despite his comrades talking of their success, Quix felt like his actions and those of his fellows were pointless, as their successes were, in his eyes, so small, and believed that the group should be doing more to help other worlds also affected by the Empire. When Quix expressed this sentiment to some of his comrades, they rebuked him, telling him he sounded like the crazy revolutionary rebels.

Intrigued rather than offended, Quix began searching through HoloNet and Imperial records and databases, looking for any mention of rebels. Eventually, he discovered a set of secret broadcasts put out by the rebels disguised as network white noise, giving unfiltered updates on the atrocities of the Empire and encouraging beings to resist the regime, as well as giving some information on the fledgling rebellion, providing frequency codes to tune in to more broadcasts. Deciding to go looking for the rebels, Quix secured transport offworld and managed to track a signal coming from Dantooine. After venturing there and poking around for several days, Quix managed to alert the rebels of his presence and interest by repeating a code word used in the broadcasts to passersby, where he was directed to meet with a recruiter in a local cantina. After the meeting, Quix was taken to Dantooine base in the badlands of Dantooine, where he was given a bunk and a tour of the base.

Rebel recruit
"Looks like that A280C suits you, Quix. Let's see how you handle this set."

- Maxir Olphen, Dantooine base firearms instructor to Wodi Quix during target practice training

During his first few weeks with the Alliance, Quix was given formal training in a variety of practices, which included blaster training, where he took a liking to the A280C blaster rifle. During munitions training, Quix excelled in utilizing the MPL-57 grenade launcher and was noted to preferring the impact grenade rather than the standard and more powerful thermal detonator. Eager and determined to learn, Quix proved to be a capable combatant, as well as proficient in leading others.

During his time at Dantooine base, Quix met and quickly became friends with Amminius Sinan, a fellow soldier at the base and the person whom Quix came to share his bunk with. When practicing a training exercise one day in the hangar enclosure, Quix banged his head on a berthed Y-wings jet engine, getting many laughs from his comrades and earning him the nickname "Wishbone." The Y-wing pilot, Amara Tonor, frequently teased Quix about the incident afterwards, and the two soon developed a close friendship that eventually blossomed into mutual attraction.

Sometime prior to the Battle of Yavin, Quix assisted with the evacuation of Dantooine base due to an unknown reason, with the Rebel Alliance moving its headquarters to the fourth moon of Yavin, setting up inside the Massassi Temple.

Promotion to Special Forces
Recognizing his skills as a soldier, Quix was selected for the Alliance Special Forces to be a part of Rancor Team, along with his friend Sinan.

Skirmish in the Jundland Wastes
"We can't do it without those Y-wings, c'mon! Whoa! I'm okay, are you injured?"

- Wodi Quix talking to fellow soldiers after a TIE fighter strafe run on their position 

When the Alliance set up a small outpost on Tatooine situated in the Jundland Wastes, the Empire soon discovered it, sending in two All Terrain Armored Transport walkers along with a compliment of stormtroopers in an attempt to flush the Rebels out. Using uplinks to help friendly bombers pinpoint their location, Quix and his fellow rebels fought off waves of stormtroopers to keep the uplinks active for a flight of Rogue Squadron BTL-A4 Y-wings to bomb the walkers. Quix himself activated two uplinks, working furiously to boot them up as the Empire assaulted their position. During a Y-wing bombing run, one of the walkers fired its cannons at a DF9 turret near Quix, destroying it and peppering him with hot debris. Using this strategy, the bombers were able to successfully take out both walkers, buying the rebels time to board the waiting GR-75 transport and escape.

Battle of Yavin
"That's not good! Those stormtroopers do not look happy!"

- Wodi Quix, on the destruction of the ground turbolaser emplacements by Imperial forces

After the destruction of the Death Star, most of the Alliance fleet and personnel evacuated Base One, leaving a compliment of Alliance special forces to oversee the purging of Alliance intel from the data banks in order to prevent the Empire from decrypting it. Quix was part of this operation. To prevent the Imperials from landing their forces, three anti-air defensive turbolasers were placed on the ground near the outer preimeter of the base. Quix soon found his position overwhelmed by Imperial stormtroopers, and he, along with the rest of the rebels, had to retreat from the turbolasers, which the Imperials destroyed, falling back to an outer section of data terminals, and then into the base itself. With the technicians eventually managing to succeed in purging and transferring the data, Quix and the remaining rebel forces escaped aboard several U-wing transports and starfighters, heading towards the rendezvous point.

Mission to Kessel
''"I don't think the Empire wants us to have their coaxium. Oh well." ''

- Wodi Quix during the extraction of coaxium containers on Kessel

Sometime after the Battle of Yavin, Quix assisted with acquiring several high-grade coaxium containers for use by the Rebel Fleet. Loading the canisters onto a hovercart, Quix helped guide the containers out of the Imperial facility and to the waiting transport. Though uninjured by blaster fire, Quix accidentally stepped in a puddle of acid on the way out to the transport, somewhat melting his boot.

Battle for Sullust
''"Alright, here comes Rogue Group!" ''

- Wodi Quix upon seeing friendly Y-wing bombers

After the victory at the Siege of Inyusu Tor, the Alliance sent additional forces to Sorosuub Centroplex to secure it. Quix was part of this attack force, helping to clear out the stormtroopers occupying the factory floors housing several unfinished All Terrain Attack Transports, landing platforms, and the surrounding perimeter. Unfortunately, after driving the Imperials out, more arrived with backup in the form of two All Terrain Attack Transports, plus several All Terrain Scout Transports. Using the same strategy as employed at Tatooine, Quix and the others defended uplink stations, managing to take down both Imperial walkers with the help of Rogue Group's Y-wings. Boarding the waiting GR-75 transport, Quix took a much needed rest as the GR-75 flew through hyperspace. The remaining rebel force abandoned Sorosuub Centroplex to set up a new base somewhere else on the planet. Quix learned later that the rest of the rebels stationed on Sullust setting up the new base had all perished when several AT-ATs and AT-STs, under the command of Darth Vader, obliterated the base and its occupants. This news saddened him.

Serving aboard the Invincible Faith
"Hey, that's enough! You're locked up until after Endor. After that, we'll figure out-" 

- Wodi Quix, to a rowdy prisoner onboard the Invincible Faith moments before being knocked unconscious by Iden Versio

Prior to the Battle of Endor, Quix was stationed aboard the rebel security cruiser Invincible Faith, which had intercepted a coded Imperial transmission from Moff Raythe to the Imperial forces detailing their plans to trap the Alliance Fleet on Endor. While the technicians were busy at work decoding the plans, an Imperial prisoner, Inferno Squad Commander Iden Versio, was brought to the cruiser and put in a cell block. In one of the hallways with other Rebel troopers, Quix entered a conversation about the Alliance rendezvous at Sullust, saying that he believed they were going to win the war. However, soon after, Versio escaped the cell and used her baton weapon to knock Quix and another soldier unconscious, who were stationed in the corridor outside her cell block. After Versio escaped, Quix and a number of other rebels wounded during the fight with Versio were taken to the medical deck for treatment.
