Dack was a young man in the service of the Rebel Alliance during the Battle of Hoth. The youthful optimist said he felt he could take on the Empire himself.

A shot square in the aft section of Luke's snowspeeder, however, ended Dack's life instantly.

Expanded Universe -

Dack Ralter's story is a tragic one repeated time and again throughout the Galactic Civil War. He is one of many young, idealistic soldiers whose life was cut short on a battlefield far from his home.

Dack was the child of prisoners in a Kalist VI labor colony. He hadn't known freedom his entire life, but that changed when he was 17. A downed Rebel pilot incarcerated at Kalist befriended young Dack. Together, the two made their escape from the world, though the Rebel did not survive. Once free, Dack joined the Rebel Alliance, training as a pilot and gunner.
