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. 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. Starting just after the end of The Bacta War, this series keeps Wedge and X-wings but takes on an entirely new squadron. The next three novels, written by Allston, concern a second squadron founded by Wedge, and are informally called the Wraith Squadron series. 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.
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. 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 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. The first four novels, written by Stackpole starting in 1996, are collectively and informally known as the Rogue Squadron series. Each book is prefaced with "Star Wars: X-Wing", but we're trying not to develop Colon Cancer here. 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. The books are written by Michael Stackpole and Aaron Allston. For the video games, which are only vaguely connected, see X-Wing and Rogue Squadron. For the related comic book series, see X-Wing Rogue Squadron. The X-Wing Series is a sizable part of Star Wars Legends.
