- ―Denton Hadrana to Chaz de Coventina, Alderaan-That-Was.
Ben Merasska is an eccentric pilot of three freighters, the Albatross, a modified courier ship, an unnamed Kazellis-class freighter, and his most recent ship, Alderaan, a Ghtroc-720 freighter. He was nominally allied with the Rebel Alliance. Ben is Alderaanian, and changed significantly after the planet's destruction and the corresponding deaths of his whole family, with the exceptions of his uncle, Denton Hadrana, who died later from complications after being exposed to a solar flare, and his niece, Esther Hadrana. As of the present, he is unaware of Esther's existence.
Ben's journeys have brought him into contact with many different people and creatures, such as Lyanie Quez, an old friend of his, Cirrsseeto Raurrssatta, former Jedi Barton Henning, and Doctor Chaz de Coventina, among others.
