Rebel Pilot Helmets: The Complete Guide

Welcome to our guide to the twenty-four helmet designs, pad printed on replica ABS moulded parts, across five squadrons. Red, Gold, Green and Blue cover the battles of Scarif and Yavin. Rogue is the three Echo Base helmets plus two later New Republic designs.

Bodies and heads come first, then the roster, then each squadron in turn. The roster is the whole release in one table for when you already know the call sign you want. The squadron sections have the pilot behind each call sign, the battles they flew, and the body the build takes.

Choosing the body

Helmets are sold per squadron, one variant per call sign, with a complete bundle for each. Every entry below is tagged with the Jumpsuit Body it belongs on.

Choosing the head

Helmets sit over a standard head, so every build needs one underneath. Five of our own generic pilot heads cover the roster: two human faces in four skin tones each, and three species heads. None are call-sign specific and all are designed to be used across squadrons.

Rebel Pilot Head (Stubble)

Light Nougat · Nougat · Medium Nougat · Reddish Brown

$6.00

The default male face for the roster. Most of the named pilots across Red, Gold, Green and Blue are human men, so this is the head most of these builds take.

Rebel Pilot Head (Female)

Light Nougat · Nougat · Medium Nougat · Reddish Brown

$6.00

Both the Scarif and Yavin rosters have women flying front line X-wings and Y-wings, Jaldine Gerams in Blue and Zal Dinnes in Red among them.

Rebel Pilot Head (Zabrak)

Nougat

$6.00

Horned Zabrak features. The Rebel fleet drew crews from across the galaxy and the Scarif and Yavin hangar scenes are visibly mixed species.

Rebel Pilot Head (Pantoran)

Bright Light Blue

$6.00

Blue skinned Pantoran with the facial markings of the species. Reads clearly under an open visor helmet where the face is on show.

Rebel Pilot Head (Weequay)

Medium Nougat

$6.00

Weequay features, for a crew with a bit more character than a straight human line up. Goes well with the Rogue and Green Squadron builds.

Roster

Red Squadron

Red Squadron flew T-65 X-wings at Scarif and Yavin. They took heavy losses at the first and made up the largest part of the Death Star attack force at the second. Every Red Squadron build takes the Orange Jumpsuit Body.

Red 3

Biggs Darklighter

Orange Jumpsuit Body · $8.00 · Red Three

Red Three at Yavin. Darklighter flew as Luke Skywalker’s wingman on the trench run and was shot down shortly before the Death Star went up.

Red 6 (Standby)

Derek Klivian

Orange Jumpsuit Body · $8.00 · Red Six (Standby)

Klivian is the standby pilot for the Red Six slot at Scarif on the Rogue One roster, with Jek Porkins in the active seat. He later flew with Rogue Squadron at Hoth, where most people know him as Hobbie.

Red 8

Zal Dinnes

Orange Jumpsuit Body · $8.00 · Red Eight

Dinnes came out of the Tierfon Yellow Aces and moved to Yavin 4 with Jek Porkins when the Tierfon base was scuttled, into Garven Dreis’ Red Squadron as Red Eight. The yellow starbird is the Yellow Aces insignia she brought with her. The V marks inside the yellow dots are kill tallies, one for every twenty enemy fighters. She came through Scarif, led Third Flight at Yavin with Naytaan and Porkins on her wings, and was killed there with the rest of the flight. Will Scotian took the call sign after Hoth, so both helmets are in this release.

Red 9

Nozzo Naytaan

Orange Jumpsuit Body · $8.00 · Red Nine

Naytaan flew Red Nine at Scarif, came through it, and was killed at Yavin. The paint scheme is the same as Green Four. Rogue One had fewer decorated helmets than background pilots, so one lid ended up on two of them in different shots. Red Nine and Green Four are separate variants.

Red 11

Ralo Surrel

Orange Jumpsuit Body · $8.00 · Red Eleven

Surrel flew Red Eleven at Scarif and kept the call sign at Yavin, where he was killed on the Death Star run.

Red 12

Unnamed Scarif Pilot

Orange Jumpsuit Body · $8.00 · Red Twelve

Red Twelve at Scarif, played by Richard Glover and never given a name. He led three wingmen into the first run on the shield gate. Puck Naeco flew Red Twelve later at Yavin in a different helmet, so this is the Scarif design, not his.

Gold Squadron

Gold Squadron flew BTL-A4 Y-wings. They fought the orbital engagement at Scarif and led the first trench run at Yavin. Gold crews wore the same suit as Red Squadron, so these take the Orange body too.

Gold Squadron Complete Bundle, all four helmets, 5% off at $30.40

Gold 5

Davish Krail

Orange Jumpsuit Body · $8.00 · Gold Five

Krail flew Gold Five on the first Y-wing run at Yavin and is where “Stay on target” comes from. Vader’s group caught him as he pulled out of the trench.

Gold 6

Brace Marko

Orange Jumpsuit Body · $8.00 · Gold Six

Y-wing pilot, Gold Squadron, Battle of Scarif. Gold flew the fight above the shield gate rather than the surface action.

Gold 7

Gazdo Woolcob

Orange Jumpsuit Body · $8.00 · Gold Seven

Woolcob flew Gold Seven at Scarif and again at Yavin, where flak from the Death Star destroyed his Y-wing.

Gold 8

Datchi Creel

Orange Jumpsuit Body · $8.00 · Gold Eight

A Y-wing pilot in Gold Squadron who flew at the Battle of Scarif.

Green Squadron

Green Squadron was based at the Great Temple on Yavin 4 and flew X-wings with green identification bands. At Scarif it held station above the shield gate, taking on Imperial fighters and capital ships while Blue Squadron went through to the planet’s surface. Green Squadron takes the Orange Jumpsuit Body.

Green Squadron Complete Bundle, all seven helmets, 5% off at $53.20

Green 2

Torge Gommer

Orange Jumpsuit Body · $8.00 · Green Two

The only Green Squadron pilot here who turns up outside the flight sequences. Gommer passes Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor in one of the Great Temple hangars after the Cabinet vote, and boards a personnel carrier when the scramble goes out.

Green 3

Riss Clyos

Orange Jumpsuit Body · $8.00 · Green Three

X-wing pilot who flew as Green Three at Scarif.

Green 4

Lt. Attico Wred

Orange Jumpsuit Body · $8.00 · Green Four

Wred flew Green Four at Scarif. Same paint scheme as Red Nine, one decorated lid put on two background pilots in different shots.

Green 6

Chaff Korus

Orange Jumpsuit Body · $8.00 · Green Six

X-wing pilot who flew as Green Six at Scarif.

Green 7

Namen Takamen

Orange Jumpsuit Body · $8.00 · Green Seven

X-wing pilot who flew as Green Seven at Scarif, named on page 173 of The Ultimate Visual Guide. There is no physical description in the entry, so head and hair are open.

Green 10

Capt. Broan Danurs

Orange Jumpsuit Body · $8.00 · Green Ten

The most senior named pilot in the squadron at Scarif. Green Leader is never recorded, so Danurs holds the top rank on the published Green roster.

Green 12

Lt. Wion Dillems

Orange Jumpsuit Body · $8.00 · Green Twelve

Dillems was normally stationed on the Profundity, Admiral Raddus’ flagship, and got Green Twelve after Puck Naeco broke an ankle just before the battle.

Blue Squadron

Blue Squadron is not in A New Hope. The usual explanation is that blue squadron markings could not be composited against the blue screens used for the effects work, so the squadron was cut. Rogue One put it back, shot on digital gear without that problem.

Blue was a mixed formation under General Antoc Merrick, who flew the battle himself as Blue One. Thirteen craft made it through the shield gate before it closed, Merrick among them, and he did not come back. The pilots who could not pull up in time were killed on the planetary shield.

Blue Squadron Complete Bundle, all three helmets, 5% off at $22.80

Blue 3

Jaldine Gerams

Dark Blue Jumpsuit Body · $8.00 · Blue Three

Gerams did not clear the shield gate before it closed, pulled up in time to avoid the impact, and joined the fleet fight in orbit above Scarif.

Blue 5

Farns Monsbee

Dark Blue Jumpsuit Body · $8.00 · Blue Five

Before Blue Squadron, Monsbee was the only pilot stationed at the Rebel outpost on Cassidode VI. He flew the strike on Eadu and then Blue Five at Scarif.

Robich Duggsin

Dark Blue Jumpsuit Body · $8.00 · Blue Seven

Duggsin came from the Tierfon Yellow Aces, went to Yavin, then to Blue Squadron, flying Blue Seven at Scarif. What became of him in the battle is not recorded.

Rogue Squadron

The three Echo Base helmets plus the two later New Republic designs. Rogue 2, the Rogue 3 gunner and Red 8 (Post-Hoth) take the Hoth jumpsuit. The two New Republic helmets take Orange.

Zev Senesca

Hoth Jumpsuit Body · $8.00 · Rogue Two

Senesca flew Rogue Two at Hoth. He found Luke Skywalker and Han Solo on the surface after they went missing, and was killed the same day when an AT-AT destroyed his snowspeeder.
