== History ==
Nedd comes from one of the lower caves and a highly-merited family</--check-->, allowing him to enter Flight School without attempting the test.[1]{/{disputebook ref|is he actually a First Citizensky1|}14}} Once there, Nedd was placed in Skyward Flight under the tutorledge of Cobb. During his time at Flight School, he roomed with the other male members of his flight.{{book ref|sky1|10}}
 
His first day of flight school saw him arriving at the class room with his two friends, Jorgen and Arturo. When Jorgen chided the other members of Skyward Flight for not being organized and ordered them to attention, Nedd naturally obeyed the command. After Cobb named Jorgen flightleader, Jorgen named Nedd as one of his two assistant flightleaders.{{book ref|sky1|8}}
When the first lesson was interrupted by a Krell attack, Nedd, along with the rest of Skyward Flight, were ordered to take to the sky and line up close to the battle to deceive the Krell into thinking there were more pilots ready to join the conflict.[4] When a Krell ship broke away heading towards the cadets and Alta Base, Nedd joined Jorgen as his wingmate to try and ward it off.{{book ref|sky1|10}} The pair engaged the Krell ship using dogfighting techniques, however, Nedd pulled too far away from Jorgen allowing the Krell to tail the other pilot, leading to him falling behind the other two ships.
 
The next day, when Cobb asked the cadets to report back to him on his teaching method and style, he was surprised, not expecting Cobb to care about their feelings on the matter. In answer to Cobb's question, he reported he was confused then made a joke about lunch.{{book ref|sky1|13}} Later, the cadets began testing out the weapons functions on their mockpits. Like his fellow classmates, barring Kimmalyn, Nedd performed poorly when first attempting to hit the targets, not managing to land a single shot. When the class attempted dogfighting following the target practice exercise, Nedd was shot down not long after the simulation began.{{book ref|sky1|14}}
 
During the light-lancing ring game, Nedd intentionally crashed on the third ring of the second run. As a joke, he pulled Arturo into the debris in front of the ring by using his light-lance, causing them both to crash.{{book ref|sky1|15}} After Spensa deliberately collided with Jorgen, Nedd, along with Arturo, attempted to calm his flightleader down, joking that Jorgen had still beaten Arturo - a comment Arturo did not appreciate.{{book ref|sky1|15}} As form of vicious retribution, Jorgen told Nedd and Arturo about Spensa's father while the rest of the room listened.{{book ref|sky1|15}}
 
== Attributes and Abilities ==
During Flight School Nedd trains to pilot a Poco, perform aerial maneuvers, and use its weaponry. He has some knowledge of piloting and starfighters, and has some prior practical experience in flying and dogfighting from before Flight School.{{book ref|sky1|10}} However, he lacks somethe theoretical understanding of starshipsstarfighters and flying that is known by those in the flight thatwho either took the entrance exam or have previously studied piloting.{{book ref|sky1|14}} hisAs priorwell experienceas hasthis, eitherhis notprevious beenpractical extensiveexperience oris not involved flying with a wingmate as at the beginning of hisextensive training- he tendedis unused to flyflying toowith fara away from his partner during battle,wingmate{{book ref|sky1|10}} and is not completelypracticed awarewith of all the controls inusing his shipdestructors.{{book ref|sky1|1214}} DuringAlthough Flighthe Schoolflies hewell trainsenough towhen pilotfacing a Pocosingle Krell, performhe aerialis maneuvers,shot anddown usefairly itsquickly weaponrywhen pitted against multiple enemies during a battle simulation.{{book ref|sky1|14}}
