Norra Wexley (née Susser) was a female rebel pilot from the planet Akiva who served in the Alliance to Restore the Republic and New Republic during the Galactic Civil War. Following the Battle of Endor, she returned to Akiva to reunite with her estranged teenage son Temmin Wexley but was drawn into a mission to rescue the captured New Republic pilot Wedge Antilles. Joining forces with Temmin, his B1-series battle droid "Mister Bones," the bounty hunter Jas Emari, and the former Imperial loyalty officer Sinjir Rath Velus, Norra and her makeshift rebel band sparked an uprising against the Empire on Akiva, disrupted the Imperial Future Council, and helped rescue Wedge Antilles. While attempting to apprehend the Imperial Admiral Rae Sloane, her TIE fighter was hit by burning debris from Sloane's shuttle. After recovering from her injuries, Norra, her son, and their companions joined the New Republic soldier Jom Barell in hunting down Imperial war criminals.
Later, Norra and her team undertook a mission at the request of Princess Leia Organa to rescue her husband Han Solo, who had gotten lost while trying to liberate the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk. During a raid on Ashmead's Lock, Norra and her team managed to free a hundred rebel prisoners including her husband Brentin. Norra and Temmin's reunion with Brentin was soured after he and the other Ashmead's Lock prisoners were used by the Empire to attack the New Republic leadership. Following the Attack on Chandrila Norra and her team embarked on a hunt for Grand Admiral Rae Sloane, whom they believed was responsible for the attack.
Norra's pursuit brought her to the barren Inner Rim world of Jakku. After escaping Imperial captivity, she along with Jas and Mister Bones continued their hunt for Sloane. Amidst the cataclysmic Battle of Jakku, Norra caught up with her old adversary Sloane and her estranged husband Brentin. Norra put aside her hostility towards Sloane and Brentin in order to join forces to stop Gallius Rax's plot to destroy Jakku along with the Imperial and New Republic forces. During the battle, Norra managed to reconcile with her husband before his death at the hands of Rax. Following the end of the Galactic Civil War, Norra followed her son Temmin to the New Republic's new flight academy on Hosnian Prime, to become an instructor.
