Jon Vander, commonly known as Dutch, was a Rebel pilot. He was given the callsign of Gold leader during the battle of Yavin 4. He was leading the first trench run, covered by Tiree (Gold 2) and Davish 'Pops' Krail (Gold 5). After Tiree was killed by Darth Vader, Dutch started panicking. He was also killed by Darth Vader moments after Tiree. Pops met the same fate during the retreat.
