Officer Higz was a male human who served in Phoenix Cell, a rebel cell fighting the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War. He was aboard the Liberator when the ship was forced to make an emergency landing on the planet Galzez, and was called upon to accompany Ezra Bridger when the latter wanted to scout out the immediate surroundings.[1]
Higz was shot shortly thereafter, by a group of Dug gangsters, just as Bridger warned Higz and his comrade to take cover.[1]
Biography
Higz was a member of Phoenix Cell, a Rebel cell that fought the Galactic Empire. In 3 BBY, he was assigned to the CR90 corvette Liberator during an engagement with an Imperial cruiser. The Liberator's engines were damaged in the engagement and after escaping, was forced to make an emergency landing on the planet Galzez, where repairs could be made.[1]
After Ezra Bridger sensed a danger but could not get the ship's scanners to work due to the prevalence of crystals in the area, Bridger recruited Higz and one other officer for a search party. As they were investigating Bridger's quarry, they were fired upon by Dugs of the pirate gang Syvik Delegation. Higz was hit by blaster fire. Bridger and the other officer reached cover where Bridger told the second officer to take Higz back to the Liberator and inform Commander Jun Sato of the situation.[1]
When the ship is repaired, Higz was back at his station on the bridge as the Liberator prepared to take off.[1]

Higz first appeared in the "The Gangsters of Galzez", the twentieth issue of the comic series Star Wars Rebels Magazine which originally released on July 16, 2016.[1]
