X-Wing Series	comment	The X-Wing Series is a sizable part of Star Wars Legends. This page covers the novel series. For the related comic book series, see X-Wing Rogue Squadron. For the video games, which are only vaguely connected, see X-Wing and Rogue Squadron.The books are written by Michael Stackpole and Aaron Allston. Most of those run directly from the end of one book to the beginning of the next, but Isard's Revenge starts just after the last book of The Thrawn Trilogy, and Starfighters of Adumar and Mercy Kill each take place several years later. Each book is prefaced with "Star Wars: X-Wing", but we're trying not to develop Colon Cancer here. The books are: Rogue Squadron (1996) Wedge's Gamble (1996) The Krytos Trap (1996) The Bacta War (1997) Wraith Squadron (1998) Iron Fist (1998) Solo Command (1999) Isard's Revenge (1999) Starfighters of Adumar (1999) Mercy Kill (2012)The first four novels, written by Stackpole starting in 1996, are collectively and informally known as the Rogue Squadron series. They cover a self-contained plot concerning members of Rogue Squadron, a starfighter formation famous for two things: achieving mission goals that are thought suicidal and losing a lot of personnel in the process. Ascended Extra Wedge "Look at the size of that thing!" Antilles rebuilds the squadron from the ground up, bringing in pilots from all walks of life, including Ensemble Dark Horse Tycho Celchu and untrained Jedi Corran Horn. They have a crucial role in the New Republic strike to retake the Imperial capital of Coruscant, or Imperial Center as it is currently called. Their big enemy is Ysanne Isard, head of Imperial Intelligence and current de facto leader of the Empire, whose tactics include torturing/brainwashing people into becoming Manchurian Agents, using The Mole, and designing the Krytos Plague to induce a major case of Divided We Fall.The next three novels, written by Allston, concern a second squadron founded by Wedge, and are informally called the Wraith Squadron series. Starting just after the end of The Bacta War, this series keeps Wedge and X-wings but takes on an entirely new squadron. Literally — Wedge forms it in the first book, looking back on the most successful Rogue rosters and realizing that they were fundamentally composed of pilots with commando skills, then mixing that idea with the odd Career-Building Blunder and amping it up as part of a gambit to avoid being promoted to General and becoming a Desk Officer. The Wraiths are a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits, commandos with flying skills, formed (initially) exclusively of pilots who are on the verge of being kicked out of service due to their various dysfunctions; their long-term opponent is the Large Ham Warlord Zsinj, who uses a Harmless Villain facade as Obfuscating Stupidity. This series is known for being much more focused on characters and humor than Stackpole's novels, but isn't without deeper themes. The end of Solo Command leads right up into the earlier-written The Courtship of Princess Leia.Isard's Revenge, by Stackpole, takes place directly after The Thrawn Trilogy and concerns the efforts of Rogue Squadron to bring justice to Stackpole's Big Bad, who escaped — twice — despite her defeat in the Bacta War, and ties up a few loose ends left after the end of the comics.Starfighters of Adumar, by Allston, though marketed as a Rogue Squadron novel, is really about Wedge himself; this is essentially his Day In The Limelight, focusing on his life, career, friends and love life (or lack thereof) during a diplomatic mission in which he attempts to bring the planet Adumar into the New Republic by winning a flying-duel-based popularity contest.While the Rogues and Wraiths also appeared in the New Jedi Order and Legacy of the Force, the latest true outing of the X-Wing series is another Wraith Squadron novel: Mercy Kill, written by Allston, which was released in August 2012. It takes place primarily in the immediate aftermath of the Fate of the Jedi series, but fills in the time from the end of the Wraith Squadron books up to the "present."Half mention also goes to I, Jedi, written by Stackpole and starring Corran Horn.Unlike later multiple-authored series, the X-Wing novels are somewhat smaller in scope and fit into events established by other books and comics, often retconning little things to make events more sensible. There are some references between the games, the comics, and the novels; ties are most obvious between later comics and Stackpole's novels. Stackpole is known for getting along well with Timothy Zahn, and the two trade Shout Outs with some frequency. Aaron Allston also incorporates characters and events from the series into his mainstream entries of the saga, such as Wedge and the Wraiths in the New Jedi Order: Enemy Lines duology, or Wedge's family in his Legacy of the Force volumes.Has a character sheet.

X-Wing Series / int_1042bae6	type	Limited Advancement Opportunities
X-Wing Series / int_1042bae6	comment	When Wedge finally accepts promotion to General, in order to alleviate the Limited Advancement Opportunities his prior refusals had created for his fellow pilots, other longstanding members of Rogue Squadron were promoted en masse. This results in Rogue Squadron's roster including General Antilles, Colonel Celchu, Majors Janson and Klivian, and Captains Horn and Darklighter. Other squadrons mentioned in the series are depicted as being commanded by Captains or Commandersnote a rank between Captain and Major while Generals typically command at least a wing of fighters — General Solo leads an entire task force.

The Glory Hound Cartannese pilots come in thinking they're up against other Blades only to be faced with a single Giant Mook, and Blades group together and put out a single bomber's IFF signal.

Tom Phonan especially suffers from this, since he's gotten most of his body replaced due to a series of injuries (which because of a bacta allergy, require cybernetics instead). He also feels this about himself — that every time another part of him is replaced by cybernetic prosthesis, he's further diminished and feels less himself. In the end, he expresses relief at dying because of it.

The Wraiths instigate a bar brawl with a group of Imperial pilots by having one of their members hitting a fellow teammate in the head with a glass bottle. The bottle shatters because it is made out of stage glass. After the fight, the team member who took the bottle to the face stated that the first bottle didn't hurt him but complained that he was hit by a second bottle and that one was made out of real glass (the bottle didn't even break). Earlier in the book, in their inspiration for setting up the scene later, a person who instigated a bar brawl for similar reasons smacked Runt on the head with a bottle, which not only didn't break but gave him a minor concussion and left him unable to fight for a while.

The one time he loses his temper, after being gut-shot by an assassin out to kill Admiral Ackbar, he picks up Ackbar's desk and hits the assassin with it so hard that the wall behind the assassin bows out and knocks unconcious an ensign on the other side. The assassin had to be scraped off the wall afterward. His defense against the false charge that got him in the Wraith selection pool — striking a superior officer — is that it was filed within half an hour of the alleged incident, and none of the people he did hit (during well-moderated challenge matches) were able to speak coherently within a half hour.

It is then not heard from again until the very end of the book when Isard attempts to steal back the ship with a team of commandos, but ends up being shot dead by Iella Wessiri.

X-Wing Series / int_237404cc	type	Ironic Echo
X-Wing Series / int_237404cc	comment	Ironic Echo: Sometimes done with entire paragraphs of narration. Iron Fist begins with a description of a cyborg attacking the Wraiths in a bar, all part of a setup for Zsinj to have them taken out. The Wraiths (after thwarting this) borrow his idea, and a few chapters later, an almost identical opening describes Phanan pulling the same setup on an Imperial planet as part of a scheme to steal some TIE fighters. In another example from Solo Command, Han and Warlord Zsinj each oversee work on a secret project, the Millennium Falsehood and the Second Death respectively, and both of them consider what they're looking at the "ugliest ship they'd ever seen". (This is Played for Laughs on Han's end, since the phrase is a Call-Back regarding the actual Falcon, but he thinks the fake looks nothing like the real one.) Wraith Squadron itself opens with what will become an Ironic Echo, the "twelve snubfighters swooping down through the sky" appearing first as the newly-reinstated Rogue Squadron performing for Leia and the Provisional Council, then as Myn Donos's doomed Talon Squadron. And again in Solo Command (Allston really likes this trope) as part of the Evil Counterpart/Shadow Archetype between Han and Zsinj: At the battle of Comkin Five, Zsinj and Han each are eager for the other to bring in their flagship, actually speaking to the viewscreen "Come on, bring in [Mon Remonda/Iron Fist]". When the New Republic fleet gets away, Zsinj has a near Despair Event Horizon where he bemoans, "I can't kill him, I don't know the formula, I don't have the plan" which is then echoed by Han at the battle of Vahaba: "I can't beat him."

When someone he's interrogating dies before giving up the information he needs, Kirtan Loor is summoned back to Imperial Center by Isard, Empress in all but name. All along the way, even while marveling at the view, he's sweating and expecting her to kill him. She doesn't — not at that point in time — but she does make her displeasure at his poor thinking clear, and wants him to perform better. It's notable that his shuttle docked at the same port as the one Vader was summoned to after Yavin — and that, we learned in Zahn's novels, the Emperor nearly killed Vader for failing to prevent the Death Star's destruction...

Allston has the pilots have an In-Universe Running Gag that Horn and Solo are the same person, despite being completely different physically, because thanks to several coincidences they are never seen at the same time in the same room. This is also justified In-Universe, as Horn's father was a Corellian Security officer who unsuccessfully tried to catch Solo when he was a smuggler, so it's natural the two would want to avoid the awkwardness of this matter being raised. Humorously enough, in the course of I, Jedi, Corran ends up using the same alias that Han had been using when Hal Horn tried to arrest him. Without either Corran or his knows-virtually-everything-in-the-underworld father-in-law realizing it.

Sometimes it's a ship with a fake transponder so they appear to be a legitimate trader rather than a military vehicle, sometimes it's a pilot flying a ship from the other side to infiltrate a secure location. One memorable example of a false flag operation backfiring spectacularly: in The Krytos Trap, Kirtan Loor gets his hand on a report about a convoy of bacta, but he's not supposed to know about it, as the report was meant solely for Isard. Loor decides to send his specially prepared fleet of X-Wings, disguised as Rogue Squadron, to destroy the convoy, and tell Isard about it when it's too late for her to do anything about it. However, Isard already knew about the convoy, and passed the information along to Zsinj. Loor's fake Rogues show up and begin attacking the convoy, then Zsinj's SSD shows up, massacres everybody in the area, then leaves just as the real Rogues show up. End result: the New Republic loses a lot of valuable bacta, Zsinj catapults to the top of their priority list, and Isard learns that Loor has his own agenda.

X-Wing Series / int_381855db	comment	Five-Second Foreshadowing: Near the end of Solo Command, a Mauve Shirt pilot investigates a bomb and realizes that Zsinj has set it up to fake the destruction of his flagship and get his enemies off his tail. Moments later, the bomb goes off, killing the pilot before he can pass on what he's learned. This scene serves to clue in any reader who hadn't already figured out Zsinj's plan from the scenes of Zsinj's preparations, so that they're not confused by what happens next.

X-Wing Series / int_3b21fe98	comment	Boldly Coming: Discussed by Corran and Gavin when the latter is getting into a relationship with Asyr Sei'lar, who's Bothan (descended from canines). He urges caution, as unexpected problems will arise between different species, relating his own experience having sex with a Selonian (who seem similar to weasels). While they both enjoyed themselves and everything was apparently "compatible", both had allergic reactions to each other (her fur, Corran's sweat), which made them break things off. Gavin later reports no issues with Asyr however (aside from the fact they can't have children). Rhysati (a Human) and Nawara (a Twi'lek) become a couple too with no apparent sexual issues; ditto Face Loran (Human) and Dia Passik (Twi'lek) in the Wraith trilogy. It seems to be fairly common, although the Empire hates interspecies pairings.

He's a Benevolent Boss as long as things are running smoothly, but when the chips are down, he's perfectly willing to sacrifice his Star Destroyer and everyone aboard to save his own sorry ass. Zigzagged with Zsinj, who is sometimes prone to You Have Failed Me, but other times displays a Thrawn-like pragmatism. It's implied in Zsinj's case that his ruthlessness may be part of his Obfuscating Stupidity: execute the real failures to get a reputation, but competent people who make mistakes get promoted/rewarded, very similar to Thrawn's treatment of his subordinates. One example of the latter: he gave a commission to a former enemy stormtrooper who tried to help Zsinj at the last minute — that attempt failed, but through no fault of said stormtrooper, and he kept the promotion. However, a bridge officer who persistently defies orders by running flight simulators instead of doing his job gets executed, because as Zsinj points out, even if the officer turned out to have a genuine aptitude as a pilot his complete inability to follow orders makes him useless as a soldier..

X-Wing Series / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
X-Wing Series / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Understandable given the series is a significantly more Military Science Fiction take on Star Wars than is typical: notwithstanding Tyria Sarkin's and Corran Horn's Force-sensitivity, the series mostly eschews the Science Fantasy aspects of the property, favoring a practical ground-level view of the Imperial-New Republic conflict. Exploited in Wedge's Gamble. Coruscant/Imperial Center's Ecumenopolis means that it has really wacky weather patterns: at one point a pop-up thunderstorm knocks out power to a moving walkway the Rogues are traveling on (the viewpoint character wryly observes that the walkway doesn't have backup power, but the state media feeds overhead do). It also uses large orbital mirror arrays to assist in controlling the climate of the polar regions. The Rogues bring down part of the planetary Deflector Shield by triggering a gigantic thunderstorm on purpose, by using an orbital mirror to vaporize a water reservoir. Unlike the elite Rogue Squadron, the less glamorous, less famous Wraiths have to wait in line for replacement parts and fighters, leaving them regularly with more pilots than X-Wings. This leads to several of the pilots becoming proficient with TIE fighters that they acquire during their missions.

X-Wing Series / int_3f7a958b	comment	Secret Test of Character: Emtrey's override mode, triggered by stating the words "shut up!" three times in a row in his presence, turns out to be one of these. Emtrey was deliberately assigned to Rogue Squadron because of Tycho Celchu, and things were arranged so that Tycho would be spending a lot of time in Emtrey's presence. Emtrey's tendency to talk too much would naturally lead Tycho to (repeatedly) tell Emtrey to shut up, leading Tycho to discover the override mode. Had Tycho been The Mole, he might have been tempted to use Emtrey to obtain information he was not privy to, and report such to the Empire. However, while Tycho did at one point use Emtrey to gain access to classified information, he only did so in order to provide help to the Rogues (and while in the presence of Mirax Terrik), and he freely revealed the mode's presence to Corran afterward. The override mode has been removed by the end of The Krytos Trap, and the whole thing is revealed to be the doing of General Cracken, the New Republic Intelligence director.

X-Wing Series / int_44fc28e8	comment	Honor Before Reason: The Adumari have this practically as their hat, due to them actually telling someone that they want to kill them and then following the most prestigious pilot and ignoring everyone else. Wedge points this out to them, and is disgusted by the way that the Adumari take no consideration into the fact that the Imperial delegation that's on the same planet is killing dozens of people and no one is sickened by it. Before the big battle at the end of the book it leads to a Beware the Nice Ones moment for Hobbie (who asks to fly in an ambushing flightknife because he's tired of the whole "honor" thing) and for Wedge (as he threatens to shoot down anyone that flies for glory instead of to accomplish their objective). Also serves as a no-holds-barred Deconstruction of the Proud Warrior Race trope, by playing "Soldier vs. Warrior" deadly straight. The desire for glory and honor through waging war leads to Cartann in particular, the most powerful (and stereotype-adherent) of the nations of Adumar, acting as imperialist belligerents (at one point Wedge asks his pilots if they even want Adumar in the Republic anymore). The obsession with Dueling To The Death leads to a high attrition rate among Adumari pilots, which means few of them live long enough to become proficient. Etiquette prevents the Adumari from being as effective as people who fight without rules. Shunning teamwork in favor of personal glory makes them undisciplined and uncoordinated, and ignoring battle objectives in favor of personal glory makes them inefficient as a military force, all of which leave them vulnerable to more professional armies like the Republic and the Imperials. Earlier X-wing books had already touched on this: cocky aces Corran Horn and Kell Tainer were both introduced to Wedge's unit with grueling and deeply unfair training sessions, designed to hammer home the notion that it's not their personal achievements, but the squadron's (or army's) as a whole that matters in this job.

Supposedly this is for their protection against prejudice (hence the name) and they have prominent statues of heroes from different species living there, although they're really massive ghettos, as you would expect. A rebel group named the Alien Combine arose in Invisec because of this. It turns out that General Evir Derricote is having residents of Invisec rounded up for use as test subjects in his secret development of the Krytos Virus.

On the one hand, he has had a number of subordinates killed—some for major things (losing a highly valuable Ewok test subject, then lying about it), and some for not-so-major things (slacking off on the bridge one time too many).note An officer playing flight simulator games because he wanted to be a pilot, after being ordered to stop. Zsinj says he abhors the waste, but you can't have pilots who disobey orders. On the other hand, he knows when to shut up and let people do their jobs, as in Solo Command when fighting off Lara's sabotage-bots—even giving the chief engineer a bonus for fixing his ship early (he approves of efficiency). Part of the friction between Kell Tainer and Wes in Wraith Squadron. Tainer's father was killed by Janson because he panicked and fled during a mission. Wes shot him down not because he chickened out, but because the mission was a stealth mission and the guy was about to blow their cover. Kell however grows up assuming that Janson was simply a cold-blooded General Ripper type.

Zsinj is uninterested in interrogating him and asks Face to kill Castin; it's clear that he suspects that this unknown intruder is in league with the "pirates". Face stalls with a grandiose speech about wanting payment first while futilely trying to think of a way out, but Dia offers to do the deed instead... and she actually shoots Castin in the throat. Only once they're safely away does she tearfully explain that Castin was already dead; his breathing was unnaturally regular and likely done by a mechanical pump, his chestplate was clearly replaced to hide a fatal wound, and the guards' body language was of hauling cargo, not guarding a prisoner. Despite her actions saving the mission, Dia still has a heavy Heroic BSoD about desecrating the body of a comrade.

X-Wing Series / int_4aafd3c8	comment	Fling a Light into the Future: Shortly before they went fully pacifist, the Alderaanians loaded all of their weapons into a cruiser called the Another Chance, crewed it with droids, and sent it off into space with a trio of automated frigates to serve as escorts. The intention was that Alderaan could call the cruiser back if the planet ever needed to rearm. Then the planet got blown up. The Alliance eventually found the Another Chance and one of the frigates around the time of The Empire Strikes Back. The third frigate had become separated from them and returned to Alderaan, where it saved the Rogues' bacon in The Bacta War.

Phanan mock-innocently asks what weapon, since his scalpel is a medical tool, not a weapon. He could also kill people with his bandages and bacta treatments if he had to, but they're all necessary tools for a doctor to carry out his duty.

Red Flight's X-Wings are significantly faster and more maneuverable than Adumari Blades, and have Deflector Shields. They're also far more spaceworthy and have their own hyperdrives (a rarity on Adumar). Imperial TIE Interceptors are even faster than the X-Wings, though lack shields and hyperdrive... which is rectified when the surviving Imperial Ace Pilots return in TIE Defenders. The TIE pilots joining the planetary war on Adumar forces Wedge et al. to risk a dangerous landing in Cartann City to retrieve their X-Wings, which had been impounded by the Cartannese when they escaped the city.

She can't use a disguise, like make-up or a wig, to change her appearance to match the new identity, because if things go that bad there will be people watching out for disguises. So what she does is to have surgery to change her appearance to match the new identity, and then uses make-up and a wig to change her appearance back to what it was before. She spends weeks disguised as herself, so that when trouble hits she can remove the wig and makeup and change her clothes and Gara Petothel will disappear. This is actually the same ploy that Thaal uses in Mercy Kill, interestingly enough.

The two authors have collaborated together and don't come to blows in person, so perhaps it's not surprising. Some fans like it, some find these Zahn nods to be unnecessary or contradictory (for example, Winter was supposed to use the Targeter codename only while with one cell on a single planet, and it wasn't for the taking of Coruscant).

Given that A-wings are the Fragile Speedster type — not quite as bad as TIE Fighters, but still pretty dinky — his wing's pilots must be very good to keep consistent numbers.

X-Wing Series / int_61c683d2	comment	We Have Reserves: Admiral Trigit. Revulsion over this is what drives Gara Petothel's defection to the Republic in Wraith Squadron, after Trigit decides to sacrifice the tens of thousands of crew members to keep his Star Destroyer out of Republic hands and doesn't even bother ordering an abandon ship when setting the self-destruct... while taking his own hyperspace-capable TIE Interceptor to flee, hoping that the continued futile resistance of his crew will create enough distraction for him to slip away. Despite knowing full fell that the New Republic has insufficient forces on hand to capture the planet below (giving any shuttles and escape pods a safe place to land) and would be unwilling to shoot down the escape pods. Trigit's boss Zsinj, though, is a little more canny — in Iron Fist he decides to hire a fleet full of mercenaries and pirates to get shot at in lieu of his troops during a major attack. Zsinj is also smart enough to know when not to waste resources on an objective; at one point he refers to "throwing good money after bad" when choosing to fold 'em.

In Wedge's Gamble, a stormtrooper on Coruscant tells an undercover Nawara (Twi'lek) and Rhysati (human), who by now are a couple, that "Your kind makes me sick." Without missing a beat, Nawara retorts that the stormtrooper's "kind" makes him sick. The man then none-too-subtly threatens Nawara's life assuming they don't knock it off. Bothan leader Borsk Fey'lya also disapproves of Bothan pilot Asyr Sei'lar having a relationship with Human Gavin Darklighter, not only because he dislikes Humans, but due to feeling she's setting a poor example with other Bothans as a result. He pressures her into breaking their relationship off by threatening to use his political power toward this if she doesn't. Before this, the pair had discussed marriage and adopting children (since they can't reproduce naturally). Asyr reluctantly complies, but both she and Gavin still bear a grudge against Fey'lya for this many years later.

X-Wing Series / int_680c8fd	comment	Outranking Your Job: When Wedge finally accepts promotion to General, in order to alleviate the Limited Advancement Opportunities his prior refusals had created for his fellow pilots, other longstanding members of Rogue Squadron were promoted en masse. This results in Rogue Squadron's roster including General Antilles, Colonel Celchu, Majors Janson and Klivian, and Captains Horn and Darklighter. Other squadrons mentioned in the series are depicted as being commanded by Captains or Commandersnote a rank between Captain and Major while Generals typically command at least a wing of fighters — General Solo leads an entire task force. Averted in the case of Pash Cracken, an A-Wing pilot who voluntarily accepts a demotion to join Rogue Squadron on the grounds that he feels he's hit a wall in his development as a pilot and wants to see if he can learn something new at Wedge's knee that can help him get past it. He leaves the squadron in The Bacta War rather than join in their mass resignation, and has an Offscreen Moment of Awesome later when he is inadvertently brought out of hyperspace on top of a star destroyer that Booster Terrik trapped, convincing the captain to surrender.

The first is after he realizes that Janson isn't the You Have Failed Me type, the second when it dawns on him just what running away will mean to the love of his life. (It's not quite so simple, as it's mentioned Kell will never get rid of the fear entirely... but then the fear is mentioned only fleetingly.) Tearjerkingly used in the case of Myn Donos. After entering a Heroic BSoD after his astromech (the last survivor of his previous squadron) is destroyed in battle, the other pilots wait until he falls asleep and then strap him into a simulator, forcing him to relive the battle where Talon Squadron was annihilated in order to force him to confront his feelings rather than keep repressing them. Surprisingly, it works, allowing him to come out of his depression and begin moving on. These two cases are related; Kell realizes he was wrong about Janson because while doing repairs, he overhears Janson talking with Wedge about Donos's breakdown. He's surprised to hear that Wes wants to wait and see if Donos recovers, while pretending they never knew about his issues, instead of just booting him out of the squadron (as they'd have every right to do).

Upon being told that he'd tried to shoot Wedge in the back, his honor and his brainwashing conflicted and basically put him into a mental lockdown where the only option was death.

X-Wing Series / int_7503483d	comment	Original Position Fallacy: Played for Laughs in Rogue Squadron. At Bror Jace's instigation, the unit holds a mock Court Martial of Ensign Newbie Gavin Darklighter, Jace arguing that he should be "apprenticed" to the highest-scoring pilot on the grounds that he has, as yet, scored only one kill in three engagements. Nawara, a former defense attorney, defends Gavin to Wedge, Tycho, and a bit character, and reaches a "plea deal" where Corran agrees to split his kills with Gavin and judge the best and worst pilot by percentages. Wedge then wryly points out that, having been awarded four additional kills in the plea deal, Gavin is no longer the worst pilot in the squadron: Nawara himself, with one kill, is. In Wraith Squadron, a gang of Space Pirates attacks the squadron in an otherwise uninhabited system, killing Jesmin Ackbar and causing Myn Donos to have a PTSD break. The pirate leader argues to Wedge that since it's an unclaimed system, there aren't any laws and they had the right to defend themselves. Wedge sarcastically agrees, then notes that if there are no laws, that means there's also no laws against the Wraiths summarily executing the lot of them and looting all their supplies. The pirate chief quickly changes his mind about whether there are any laws in the star system.

Booster never had the chance to see that, and Mirax bluntly points out to him that she may be his daughter, but she's not his little girl anymore, along with the fact that his recent actions (sending someone to serve as backup for her when doing so may have been what tipped off their enemy to her presence, along with "joking" that he'd have tipped off the enemy if it was her husband going on the same mission) show that he still doesn't trust her or her choice in husband.

Then mocks him just before the fighting starts by drawing a picture of him in the air with the glowing trail left by his blastsword — it's a stick figure with a ridiculously small head.

It consists of a TIE Fighter's ball cockpit between a Y-Wing's engines, combining the fragility and lack of firepower of the Empire's mook fighter with the sloth and sluggishness of the Rebels' oldest bomber craft.

And while the pilots brought in to make up the numbers don't seem to have issues, it is quickly found that all of them are just as screwed up.

X-Wing Series / int_8ae880f7	comment	Also serves as a no-holds-barred Deconstruction of the Proud Warrior Race trope, by playing "Soldier vs. Warrior" deadly straight. The desire for glory and honor through waging war leads to Cartann in particular, the most powerful (and stereotype-adherent) of the nations of Adumar, acting as imperialist belligerents (at one point Wedge asks his pilots if they even want Adumar in the Republic anymore). The obsession with Dueling To The Death leads to a high attrition rate among Adumari pilots, which means few of them live long enough to become proficient. Etiquette prevents the Adumari from being as effective as people who fight without rules. Shunning teamwork in favor of personal glory makes them undisciplined and uncoordinated, and ignoring battle objectives in favor of personal glory makes them inefficient as a military force, all of which leave them vulnerable to more professional armies like the Republic and the Imperials. Earlier X-wing books had already touched on this: cocky aces Corran Horn and Kell Tainer were both introduced to Wedge's unit with grueling and deeply unfair training sessions, designed to hammer home the notion that it's not their personal achievements, but the squadron's (or army's) as a whole that matters in this job.

The ship is badly crippled right off the bat, and another barrage later in the battle causes the frigate to literally split in two.

By the end of The Bacta War, Ooryl is judged by a trio of high officials in Gand society to have become sufficiently famous that any other Gand should know who he is, making it appropriate to refer to himself in the first person. A Gand who has accomplished nothing of note is to refer to himself as "Gand". They can earn the right to use first their surname and then their given name as a self-reference through accomplishments in their respective career; for example, Ooryl earned the right to call himself "Qrygg" through learning basic piloting, and to call himself "Ooryl" by completing advanced flight training. And when a Gand feels ashamed due to a perceived failure (or, as in Wedge's Gamble, has other need for anonymity), they will temporarily "demote" themselves to a lower level of naming.

In the scene at the museum, Donos notices the family resemblance between one of the portraits and Shalla, and realizes she's the daughter of a famous man who went into hiding when Palpatine took over rather than serve the Empire. Immediately after this realization, an old man comments on Lara's resemblance to a young woman he once knew — actually Gara Petothel's mother — which later turns out to be the final clue Face needed to figure out Lara's true background.

X-Wing Series / int_9dab0a6e	comment	Continuity Nod: Seeing as it's been sixteen years in-universe since the last non-cameo appearance of the Wraiths and thirty-seven years since the last Wraith Squadron novel proper, Mercy Kill is full of them. Kell and Tyria's daughter is named Jesmin. Wedge, Tycho, and Kirney have a cameo. Kirney and Myn are married and have a family, and she made Voort repeat himself, four times, that he would not recruit her children like Face had recruited Wedge and Kell's (and Shalla's nephew). The Friendly Sniper is Shalla's nephew. Runt is still describing things in terms of split personalities, but he's far more eloquent and understandable. The Big Bad is utterly convinced that the man trying to bring him down is none other than the long-dead Ton Phanan.

Not having had time yet to close off some of the more obscure overrides, Imperial agents use those commands to communicate with the Empire. Erisi uses one when she sends reports to Isard by sending a message via the public networks, then using a batch command typically used to erase a large number of messages at once. When prompted by the batch job for the state and end times she uses the exact time she sent her message. It writes the message to a tape which is sent to a drop box, and erases the message and all records of it from the system. The message is then retrieved by intelligence operatives and sent to Isard.

Even the normally mild-mannered Runt casually beats an enemy close-combat trainer to death bare-handed, and the usually happy-go-lucky Janson briefly becomes an utterly silent, coldly ruthless killing machine. Face gives the order to act this way in no small part because he knows his team is, despite appearances, so incredibly furious that they wouldn't accept any other orders at that point.

(The next time he goes to look he "remembers to grab a towel first".) It's also mentioned in Face's past: a fellow cadet stole his clothes and locked him out of his quarters. Subsequently, while running around trying to find something to cover up with, he runs into a superior officer and explains himself by saluting and saying "Major, I regret to report only partial success with the Personal Cloaking Device." The major, despite being described as having "the same sense of humor as a Wookiee with a rash", turns out not to be a bad sort and instead of punishing him says, deadpan, that he'd better go cover up the project's shortcomings. Even Myn Donos, who was still suffering from PTSD after the loss of his previous squadron at this point, has a faint smile on his face during the story.

Imperials at once look down on obvious cyborgs, generally thinking that only someone very clumsy or unlucky can be injured so badly as to need cybernetics, and at the same time respect the character played as a survivor and a war hero, and so feel guilt and shame if they get caught staring... so no one managed to connect him to the second most famous Rebel pilot. He played the character a second time, and while he had similar prosthetics to wear, they were not "dialed down" and he was able to act and fly more or less normally; the Imperials he met weren't rude enough to react visibly.

X-Wing Series / int_b53077b3	comment	Take That!: Aaron Allston's run on the series has a quiet one. An earlier book, The Courtship of Princess Leia, had as its main villain Warlord Zsinj, a self-important shallow bad guy distinguished by being fat and very stupid. Apparently the only way he'd become such a threat was because of the size of his fleet, which he'd been able to take control of because... because! While retconning the various continuity errors in the novel, Allston makes Zsinj very smart, resourceful, and someone who played the buffoon in front of others to get them to underestimate him. The Wraiths even note that anyone with brains would see past it, so it's not really fooling anyone. He just likes playing to an audience.

It looks initially like a Leonine Contract since Ackbar himself is the one who gets to decide whether the squadron is a success or not. By the end of Solo Command, Ackbar agrees that Wedge has won, letting him stay in the cockpit another two years until after Isard's Revenge.

X-Wing Series / int_bb76c854	comment	New Republic + Empire vs. Zsinj. In the next book, Solo Command, Admiral Rogriss, the Imperial task force commander in charge of pursuing Zsinj, reaches out to his New Republic counterpart Han Solo, whom the Wraiths have now been assigned to, suggesting that they pool their efforts. Han accepts, despite it being clear to both of them that with the New Republic/Imperial war still going strong, they might both be pursued for treason if this is ever made public. When springing a trap on Zsinj, both Rogriss and Solo go to great lengths to conceal from their own fleets the fact that an Imperial Interdictor cruiser is temporarily serving as part of a New Republic task force.note Rogriss makes the Interdictor, captained by one of his most loyal subordinates, his flagship and has a handpicked bridge crew who are the only Imperials who know what operation is happening. Solo assigns two captured Star Destroyers as the cruiser's escorts, so any crew in the rest of the Interdictor who look out a viewport will see what appear to be other Imperial ships alongside them. On the New Republic side, only Han, Wedge, Face (who was their intermediary to negotiate the deal with Rogriss), and the Mon Remonda bridge crew know what's going on. The rest of the fleet, even the captains of those two escorting Star Destroyers, are simply told that the Interdictor's status is Classified Information.

In The Krytos Trap, Corran Horn is tortured and subjected to brainwashing techniques by Ysanne Isard in her Lusankya prison in hopes of turning him into a Manchurian Agent. She fails and puts him into gen pop. That doesn't work either; he figures out The Alcatraz's secret and escapes.

Unfortunately, he hit a nerve with that suggestion — he couldn't have known, but someone had done exactly that in Tyria's past (and she felt extremely guilty about it).

The novels note on a number of occasions that New Republic starfighters are much more capable than Imperial TIE designs while fighting in atmosphere because of their superior aerodynamics. In space, TIEs other than bombers are generally faster and more maneuverable than anything but an A-Wing, but in aerial combat, the more airplane-like design of an X-Wing allows it to pull off maneuvers a TIE, whose 'wings' can end up catching the air in unwelcome ways, couldn't hope to match.

X-Wing Series / int_cfd25d52	comment	Shoot Your Mate: Several of the Wraiths meet with Zsinj while disguised as pirates, trying to strike up an alliance. The talks seems to be going well when the guards haul in Castin, who had secretly snuck along without authorization. Zsinj is uninterested in interrogating him and asks Face to kill Castin; it's clear that he suspects that this unknown intruder is in league with the "pirates". Face stalls with a grandiose speech about wanting payment first while futilely trying to think of a way out, but Dia offers to do the deed instead... and she actually shoots Castin in the throat. Only once they're safely away does she tearfully explain that Castin was already dead; his breathing was unnaturally regular and likely done by a mechanical pump, his chestplate was clearly replaced to hide a fatal wound, and the guards' body language was of hauling cargo, not guarding a prisoner. Despite her actions saving the mission, Dia still has a heavy Heroic BSoD about desecrating the body of a comrade. A similar situation happens in the next book with two major scientists at Binring Biomedical, when Zsinj is angry with them for screwing up and then trying to cover it up. One of the scientists continues trying to talk his way out of the situation, while the second doesn't hesitate to shoot the first. When Zsinj tells her that they were supposed to commit suicide as atonement for their failure, she dismisses that as ridiculous, saying that if Zsinj wanted both of them dead he would've just had them shot by his stormtroopers. And notes that obviously the blasters were rigged so that they wouldn't function if she tried to shoot Zsinj himself. This convinces Zsinj that she's still smart enough to be useful.

X-Wing Series / int_d66cd0e6	comment	Training from Hell: Played with. Training for the Rogues and Wraiths isn't shown to be physically demanding. Long sessions in simulator cockpits leave pilots glad to finish and some simulators are set up to give a mild shock when someone's shot down in sim, something that's regarded as funny and annoying at worst. Likewise, while the debut novels for each unit do depict one or more candidates washing out, Wedge's intentions are less about eliminating all but the most elite pilots and more teaching those who do make his units that however skilled they are, they still need to work as a team if they hope to accomplish their missions and live to tell about it. While he isn't above throwing the occasional Unwinnable Training Simulation his pilots' way, overall his methods reflect this: feeding the rest of Rogue Squadron Corran's targeting data behind his back so their scores will all eclipse his, having pairs of fighters suffer complementary system failures so their pilots are forced to work together to destroy a target, scoring protocols where pilots are directly responsible for their wingmate's success and vice versa (which causes Kell Tainer to be credited with no kills, while his wingman who went Leeroy Jenkins and was shot down two minutes in gets Kell's actual five), etc.

X-Wing Series / int_d9723630	type	In My Language, That Sounds Like...
X-Wing Series / int_d9723630	comment	In My Language, That Sounds Like...: In Krytos Trap, it is mentioned that the Twi'leks sometimes fiddle with the pronunciation of people's full names to avoid insulting the person in question. In particular, they call Wedge Antilles "Wedgan'tilles", which is close to "slayer of stars" in Twi'leki. Apparently pronouncing it the same way that humans do ("Wedge'antilles") changes the meaning to something like "one so foul as to induce vomiting in a rancor". Wedge understandably prefers the former pronunciation when on Ryloth. Apparently, in the Twi'lek language the meaning of a phrase can be radically altered by shuffling syllables between "words". It's sometimes done even to a fellow Twi'lek's name, for the opposite reason: twisting the pronunciation into something insulting. It is also specifically used to denote that a particular Twi'lek is a dishonourable individual — Jabba the Hutt's henchman Bib Fortuna is subjected to this treatment, as other Twi'leks distinctly break his name up to denote the distance between he and his people.

Later, Corran goes undercover with the false name of a man Hal had once pursued, who hadn't been seen anywhere for more than a decade, and not even Corran's Knowledge Broker grandfather knew where he'd gone: Jenos Idanian.

Someone suggests using this trope so they'd all be in containment suits, but it's pointed out that Zsinj is suspicious and would investigate something like that. So instead they concoct a Zany Scheme to infect the other ship with a disease, inverting the trope.

X-Wing Series / int_e3c36782	comment	Call-Forward: Common in Stackpole's books to other Star Wars Legends books written earlier but set chronologically later. Warlord Zsinj is a background villain in the first four books, and Leia's mission to the Hapans (which plays a more prominent part in The Courtship of Princess Leia) is mentioned. Isard mentions that Thrawn is still out in the Unknown Regions. Corran and Erisi Dlarit also tour the Imperial Palace in Wedge's Gamble and admire the grove of decorative trees inside (which, unbeknownst to them, actually contain eavesdropping equipment Thrawn would eventually make use of). In Wedge's Gamble the Rebels recruit troublemakers from Moruth Doole's prison camp on Kessel, while in The Bacta War Isard gets assistance from the Imperial warlords Teradoc and Harrsk (Jedi Academy Trilogy). In Rogue Squadron Corran bitterly reflects that the old Corellian Security Force of his youth has been turned into the Secret Police organisation called the Public Safety Service, which will appear in The Corellian Trilogy. The first attempted attack on Borleias in Rogue Squadron prominently features the star destroyer Emancipator, one of two Imperial-class star destroyers that were captured at the Battle of Endor. Emancipator and Liberator were both destroyed in Dark Empire, which is set four years later.

If you count the number of times his friends have thought him dead, his enemies have thought him dead, and the reader has thought him dead, it actually amounts to more times than he has appearances in the X-Wing series, if each novel featuring him counts as one appearance.

However, halfway through the book it's revealed that Coruscant fell two weeks earlier than Isard wanted (thanks to the Rogues), with the result that the plague was nowhere near as bad as it should have been.

The squadron was founded by Luke after Yavin; he leaves the squad several times during the war for Jedi training and exercises. When Wedge takes over, he gets a reputation for sometimes creatively misinterpreting orders (but still getting the job done), his pilots (when he reforms the squadron after Endor) are often seen as cliquish and a bit elitist, and at one point the entire squad resigns their commissions. Humorously, once that situation is dealt with, the squad finds that the New Republic made a temporary Rogue Squadron for morale purposes; Wes Jansen, the commander, gleefully points out that he's leading Rogue Squadron, while Wedge is leading "a rogue squadron".

To avoid this, they have a brief marriage ceremony aboard Lusankya (with Commander Antilles, temporary captain of the ship, in the role of "priest", and a few droids as witnesses). Booster takes the marriage itself relatively well, but not how it happened... mostly because fellow smuggler Talon Karrde had wagered a large amount of money with Booster that Corran and Mirax would do exactly this.

X-Wing Series / int_f8c079b3	comment	With Us or Against Us: Elscol Loro, an anti-Imperial fighter who's much more extreme than the New Republic, has come to believe this by The Bacta War. She tells Iella that there's no way to really stay "neutral". Either you're with the Empire or against them. Attempting to not get involved just tacitly supports the status quo of the Empire. As a result, she claims she'll target civilians if they don't wake up and side with her fight, but Iella reigns her in.

That Corran might want to spare a month's worth of pain and heartbreak to someone he loves simply never occurred to her.

X-Wing Series / int_f95bc392	comment	In The Krytos Trap, Corran Horn is tortured and subjected to brainwashing techniques by Ysanne Isard in her Lusankya prison in hopes of turning him into a Manchurian Agent. She fails and puts him into gen pop. That doesn't work either; he figures out The Alcatraz's secret and escapes. He also finds her private Manchurian Agent database and discovers it didn't work on Tycho Celchu, either. However, Corran comments in his Internal Monologue that she probably did get whatever useful intelligence he knew.

X-Wing Series / int_f9f2c33	type	Running Gag
X-Wing Series / int_f9f2c33	comment	Running Gag: Some in-universe examples. Lieutenant Kettch, the fake Ewok pilot. This becomes something of an Ascended Meme or Defictionalization In-Universe: after their enemies/employers overhear the Wraiths' comm chatter, in which Wedge's voice was modified to sound like an Ewok, some ad-libbing and improvisation culminated in Wedge having to fight a battle with a stuffed Ewok in his lap to keep up the illusion that Kettch was real. To say nothing of Kolot... Despite both serving on the Mon Remonda, Corran Horn and Han Solo are never seen at the same place at the same time (including one moment when Han leaves the pilots' lounge, and Corran enters moments later — then wonders why everyone's laughing), which naturally leads the rest of the pilots to conclude that, despite a significant difference in age and appearance, they must be the same person. (This particular joke goes metastatic in I, Jedi — in which Corran and Han actually do meet, multiple times. One of those times, Han jokes that he once had a Horn, Corran's father Hal, chasing him. Later, Corran goes undercover with the false name of a man Hal had once pursued, who hadn't been seen anywhere for more than a decade, and not even Corran's Knowledge Broker grandfather knew where he'd gone: Jenos Idanian. This also doubles as a Call-Back to the Han Solo Trilogy.) The "[job] [boy/girl]" callsigns make a return in all the books where Wraith Squadron feature.

X-Wing Series / int_fbd285b7	comment	Comically Missing the Point: Hallis Saper mentions that the reason she uses a modified protocol droid head mounted on her shoulder to record footage instead of an actual camera is because she read a study that people generally found protocol droids to be nonthreatening. Wedge is tempted to point out the potential of a two headed woman walking around. One who also wears opaque black goggles (which are connected to the droid head camera and make it look where she looks).note It's eventually revealed that the real reason, or at least a useful side benefit, for the ridiculous setup is that everyone looks at and remembers the lady with a second head from a droid, not her face.

X-Wing Series / int_fc45bac0	comment	Wouldn't Hit a Girl: Skated around — most of the characters, protagonist and antagonist, don't care if about their enemy's gender, which is aided by a lot of the combat being in cockpits, but this trope still comes up when lesser villain Atton Repness hits Lara. It's a rather shocking moment. Fully averted by the time of Mercy Kill — in his Star Wars novels after the original Wraith Squadron series Allston started featuring more and more explicitly female soldiers on all sides, and when battles occur sometimes they die.

X-Wing Series / int_fcaec6bf	comment	Orbital Bombardment: In Rogue Squadron the New Republic ISD Emancipator uses one to try to bring down the deflector shield of the Imperial base on Borleias. Wedge thinks to himself during the mission briefing that ground attack (i.e. the Hoth solution) has historically been more successful. In the end it doesn't matter thanks to General Derricote having an extra power supply for the shield. In the background of Wedge's Gamble Warlord Zsinj uses the Iron Fist for a hit-and-run attack on the New Republic base on Noquivzor. In The Bacta War, Corran half-jokes that this is how he would begin a theoretical plan for a raid on Chalmun's Cantina.

For example, in Wraith Squadron Kell tells off Grinder for calling him "Demolition Boy" ("That's 'Demolition Boy Sir'") while by the time of the New Jedi Order books the Wraiths are using nicknames of this type as standard code names (Face is "Poster Boy", Kell is "Explosions Boy", Bhindi is "Circuitry Girl"). It gets brought back again late in Mercy Kill, with one of the squad's family members who helps out getting an honorary callsign of this type (a gemologist mocking up weird jewelry for them, he's called "Gem Boy").

Not a building was left standing, but no one died. This captain later surrendered to the New Republic.
