Due to a Force vision, stormtrooper Nova Stihl deliberately impedes his team's pursuit of Han and Chewie, allowing them (and consequently Luke, Leia, and the droids) to escape. He decides to help by unlocking the elevator for them, since they don't have the code to access the prison level. Much later, he taps into a security feed and witnesses Luke and Han making their plan to rescue Leia. In his duties as a librarian, Atour Riten acquires a complete set of the Death Star's schematics and decides to store them in the mainframe of an Imperial base on Danuta- where they are stolen by a certain Rebel agent. 
Been There, Shaped History: A number of the novel's original characters are revealed to have had surprisingly major impacts on the events of A New Hope and other works:.

Nova is one of the stormtroopers that chase after Han and Chewie, and Tenn is the Death Star's chief gunner, who pulls the lever that fires the superlaser. Ascended Extra: Tenn Graneet and Nova Stihl are both Faceless Goons in A New Hope. But after watching Darth Vader fly against one of his instructors in practice, Dance remarks that if he's ever up against the Sith Lord for real, he'll just self-destruct his TIE fighter and save Vader the time.
