Biography[]

Assisting theGhost crew[]

Quarrie was aMon Calamaristarshipengineer who lived on the remoteplanet ofShantipole during theAge of the Empire. After theearly rebellion suffered losses against theGalactic Empire during an attemptedblockade run, rebelHera Syndulla andmembers of her crew came to Shantipole in order to retrieve the prototype B-wing,Prototype B6, which he dubbed the "Blade Wing." Quarrie was initially uninterested, as he did not believe Syndulla to be the rightpilot for his ship. However, her story of growing up and dreaming of being a pilot swayed Quarrie, and he allowed her to test thestarfighter.^[2]

After a successful test run, the starfighter was taken back to the network's fleet. For the journey, he also installed ahyperdrive and an exterior astromech socket on Hera'sshuttlePhantom. ThePhantom then towed the B-wing prototype to the planetIbaar. With the B-wing's advanced weaponry, the rebels broke theImperial blockade over the planet Ibaar and deliveredfood to the planet's starving populace. Afterwards, Quarrie, along with hisLothal astromech droidBG-81, left the networkfleet in order to oversee the production of more B-wings for the rebel cause.^[2]

Adventures with the Freemakers[]

In the second season ofThe Freemaker Adventures, Quarrie works as an engineer for the Rebel Alliance, serving aboard the rebel flagshipHome One. Quarrie encounteredRowan Freemaker while running an errand forGeneral Syndulla. After learning that Quarrie was looking for spare parts to build a starship that could change the tide of theGalactic Civil War, Rowan invited Quarrie to accompanyhis family on asalvage run to the planetTibalt. There they encountered theEmperorPalpatine's newhunter droidM-OC but escaped the droid.^[7]

After Rowan experienced aForce vision calling him to build a powerful starship called theArrowhead, he related his vision to Quarrie. Since Rowan was unable to describe the ship, Quarrietook him and theB1-series battle droidRoger to the city ofAlistan Nor on the planetAlistan Nor to get a sense of style and craftsmanship. There, Rowan experienced a vision of theArrowhead. Though they were attacked by M-OC again, the trio managed to escape.^[8]

Quarrie assisted the Freemakers by helping to build theArrowhead. He stayed aboard theHome One while the Freemakers embarked on aquest to gather the components of the starship including anembersteel blade,^[9] a proton suspension housing,^[10] an energy matrix activator,^[11] and a giantkyber crystal.^[12]

Though the Freemakers found a giant kyber crystal, their return coincided with an Imperialattack on therebel fleet. Since it was dangerous to assemble theArrowhead during a space battle, Quarrie got the Freemakers and Alliance pilotLieutenantColvett Valeria to take theArrowhead to the deserted planet ofJakku. After theArrowhead sank into quick sand and exploded, Quarrie and Rowan worked together to rebuild the ship. Though the ship's energy matrix activator fell into the hands of theImperial officersDurpin andPlumestriker, the two rebuilt theArrowhead, which played an important role in defeating the Imperial fleet and forcing them to retreat.^[13]

Following the quest to build theArrowhead, Quarrie recommended that Rowan take the time to rest while Rowan's older siblingsZander andKordi Freemaker flew theArrowhead in combat and advisedAlliance High Command. However, Rowan and a reluctant Roger embarked on a mission to rescue hisLurmen friendMaynar. However, this turned out to be a trap byM-OC, whocaptured Rowan.Darth Vader then captured Rowan, wanting to use the boy to find more kyber crystals.^[14]

Following the Freemakers'mission to rescue Rowan, Quarrie flew the Freemakers' shipStarScavenger into theCoruscant system and rescued them from M-OC, who had acquired theArrowhead. With M-OC pursuing them, Quarrie convinced the Freemakers to flee toShantipole, where he still had a base. There, Quarrie and the Freemakers worked together to trap and destroy M-OC. In askirmish, both theArrowhead and theStarScavenger were destroyed, but M-OC survived. Before M-OC could kill Rowan, Rowan convinced him to end the hunt but accidentally convinced the droid that the Empire had a flaw in thesecond Death Star.^[15]

After Rowan rebuilt theStarScavenger incorporating parts of theArrowhead, Quarrie accompanied the Freemakers toSullust, only to discover that the rebel fleet had departed for theBattle of Endor. After Rowan retrieved theKyber Saber from the lava fields of Sullust, Quarrie and the Freemakers took part in the Battle of Endor. They breached the second Death Star'sdeflector shield but were captured by stormtroopers. However, they were freed by Zander's love interestBecky Smoochenbacher. Quarrie, Zander, Kordi, and Roger returned to their ship and rescued Rowan, who defeated M-OC and allowed the rebels to destroy the second Death Star's reactor core. Following the Battle of Endor, Quarrie was present at the rebel celebrations atBright Tree Village, where he suggested modifications to the X-wing design to Lieutenant Valeria.^[16]
