Rebel Pilots & Their Ships #1
Fear our love for our rebel pilots. Post your appreciation and pictures here. Quotes: "Well, you know the Rogues. All we need is a ship and rock to land it on." ―Wedge Antilles "I'm with Rogue Squadron. Impossible is our stock in trade, and success is what we deliver." ―Corran Horn "Rogue Squadron to Borleias. We're back. We kicked your butt twenty years ago. Now we're here to do it again." ―Colonel Gavin Darklighter Commanders in chronological order 1. Luke Skywalker 2. Wedge Antilles 3. Tycho Celchu 4. Gavin Darklighter 5. Jaina Solo 6. Jacen Solo 7. Lensi 8. Jhoram Bey 9. Anj Dahl Description from Wookieepeida: Rogue Squadron was an elite Rebel Alliance starfighter squadron founded by Commander Narra, Luke Skywalker, and Wedge Antilles shortly after the Battle of Yavin out of Red Squadron. Rogue Squadron played a key role during several engagements in the Galactic Civil War, serving as the primary defense squadron of the Alliance High Command. The squadron mainly fielded T-65 X-wing starfighters, but flew other craft as well, including T-47 airspeeders and Z-95 Headhunters. They participated most notably at the Battle of Hoth and later at the Battle of Endor while reorganized once more as Red Squadron. Following the first death of the Emperor, the Rogues served the New Republic and Galactic Alliance in several critical campaigns, including the Liberation of Coruscant, the hunt for Ysanne Isard, Yuuzhan Vong War and the Second Galactic Civil War. Wraith Squadron Quotes: "Pretty. What do we blow up first?" ―Wraith Squadron motto, first coined by Myn Donos You're going to form a new squadron? Just like that? Wave your hand and it appears?" "Well, I thought I'd tell High Command so they'll know what they need to give me." ―Wes Janson and Wedge Antilles "Foolish of us to bring along Rogue Squadron, all those A-wings, Home One, and a pair of frigates when all it takes is Wraith Squadron and a battered corvette to deal with the enemy." ―General Crespin after the Battle of Talasea "Wraiths, no rules. No mercy. Take out anything that gets between us and home." ―Garik Loran on Saffalore after an Imperial ambush Original members * Commander Wedge Antilles, Wraith Leader[1] * Flight Officer Jesmin Ackbar, Wraith Two (KIA)[1] * Flight Officer Falynn Sandskimmer, Wraith Three (KIA)[1] * Flight Officer Eurrsk Thri'ag, Wraith Four (KIA)[1] * Flight Officer Kell Tainer, Wraith Five[1] * Flight Officer Hohass Ekwesh, Wraith Six[1] * Flight Officer Ton Phanan, Wraith Seven[1] * Flight Officer Garik Loran, Wraith Eight[1] * Lieutenant Myn Donos, Wraith Nine[1] * Flight Officer Tyria Sarkin, Wraith Ten[1] * Lieutenant Wes Janson, Wraith Eleven[1] * Flight Officer Voort saBinring, Wraith Twelve Wraith Squadron, also known as the Wraiths, was a hybrid New Republic starfighter/commando unit developed in 7.5 ABY by Wedge Antilles. The original Wraith Squadron was largely made up of wash-outs and misfits, which gave the unit a number of psychologically and emotionally unstable pilots, albeit experienced members of the military with useful commando skills. The Wraiths were designed to fulfill the mission responsibilities of both a traditional starfighter squadron and a commando unit—a revolutionary concept in tactics for the New Republic, and one that its founder felt was an essential development for the New Republic.

How could you forget Wraith Squadron? Good times, Rogues and Wraiths, with all of Janson's pranks becoming Rogue Squadron traditions.
Rogue Squadron was where we started to see SW "grow up" a little. The X-wing books didn't focus on the Big Three but were still in the post-Endor era. Games did this all the time, giving us Keyan Farlander (who bears the unique honor of being the only Y-wing pilot to ever actually survive a mission, and the first of the new Jedi besides Leia that Luke met), Kyle Katarn (Insert your own 100% true Kyle Katarn Fact.), and so on. But I think this is the first time a novel did. Here's Wookieepedia's Rogue Squadron emblem for starters: Now, who all is hologenic enough for fan art? If I hadn't lost my pens, I'd make one of Janson pulling a prank on the other Rogues, one of Corran dueling with Luke, and one of Wedge wearing a blue-green shirt (as far away from red as possible). |

Thanks Jerry. I'll also add some pics when I get some time.
I was reading Edge of Victory II: Rebirth today. The Rogues are back. They helped Luke and Mara escape Coruscant. them |

Way to pick the most random pilot. Of course, in the EU, even the most obscure extra has a story. I'm sure R2-X2 has a story too.

Because Jerry. The thread can use some decor and when all of us post pics it helps out.
So why should Theron Nett get more love? |

I didn't notice, and I made the title.
Theron gets it because he's got a cool helmet. So does the guy with the tiger strips on it. __________________
