Aftab Ackbar was a Mon Calamari male who was the son of Admiral Gial Ackbar. Ackbar only saw his father once after his spawning where he begged him to retire from Resistance service. Gial refused as the admiral’s focus was elsewhere. However, Aftab still felt he knew his father through study of his military service. In the aftermath of the Battle of Crait, whilst the Resistance was in need of help, Aftab supplied them with a number of starships from Mon Cala. But his planet’s freedom soon came to end when First Order spies contacted General Hux about the Resistance taking refuge on the planet, sparking a race for Leia and her band to quickly escape the water planet with the starships provided. With a close and daring escape, the Resistance escaped leaving the planet vulnerable to the First Order. Later, Aftab served as colonel in the Resistance, and was referred to as “Junior” amicably by Commander Poe Dameron, whom the Mon Calamari aided as a Y-wing pilot during the encounter with the Sith Eternal forces on Exegol. After the battle he celebrated on the jungle moon, Ajan Kloss.
