Jyn Erso is the main protagonist of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. She is the leader of Rogue One, a secret team meant to steal the plans for the Death Star.

History[]

Jyn Erso was born to Galen and Lyra Erso on the planet of Vallt while in captivity and would be present for one of her father's meetings with Director Orson Krennic on Coruscant. She joined Saw Gerrera's Partisans at age eight and fought with them until fifteen years of age when Saw abandoned her during a dangerous setback. She had issues with trust from that day. Having been arrested for her crimes by the Galactic Empire and placed on the planet of Wobani in a prison cell a team from the Alliance to Restore the Republic called the Extraction team bravo rescued her from the prison due to her father's possible involvement in the construction of the Imperial Superweapon known as the Death Star.

Jyn was placed on a mission with Captain Cassian Andor to find and steal the Death Star plans for the rebels and was promoted to Sergeant. They lead the squad to a few planets including Jedha and then later to Scarif where they manage to beam up the Death Star plans before they are killed along with Director Krennic by the Death Star on Grand Moff Tarkin's orders.
