    X - Wing

    Who joined the squadron at the beginning of the book?Star Wars X-Wing Series Book 2: "Wedge's Gamble"

      Aril Nunb and Pash Cracken. Pash Cracken is the son of General Airen Cracken, one of the Alliance's legendary leaders. Aril Nunb is the sister of Nien Nunb who flew the Millennium Falcon into the Second Death Star with Lando Calrissian. Asyr Sei'lar a Bothan and Inyri Forge, who's sister Lujayne had been the first member of the NEW Rogue Squadron to be killed, joined Rogue Squadron later in the book

    True or False? Pash Cracken took a reduction in rank to join Rogue Squadron?Star Wars X-Wing Series Book 2: "Wedge's Gamble"

      True. Captain Pash Cracken had his own flight group out on the Rim. But because of his flying ability, members of his flight believed he lived a charmed life and couldn't be beaten. New pilots coming into his squadron are inculcated into this myth of his invincibility, and because of the legend they've built him into, he can't get them to listen to him or do he things he needed them to. Therefore he decided to join Rogue Squadron where he can test his abilities against the best pilots the Alliance has to offer.

    Where was the meeting of the Provisional Council that Wedge attended held?Star Wars X-Wing Series Book 2: "Wedge's Gamble"

      Noquivzo. In the meeting they discussed ways to liberate Coruscant and decided to free members of the Black Sun from Kessel to help them and in exchange for political Prisoners.

    Which members of Rogue Squadron did Wedge anticipate the greatest resistance to the operation to free members of Black Sun from Kessel?Star Wars X-Wing Series Book 2: "Wedge's Gamble"

      Both Corran and Nawara. Corran Horn used to be a member of Correlian Security and sent people to Kessel. Nawara Ven used to be a lawyer and tried to keep people from going to Kessel.

    Who was in charge of Kessel?Star Wars X-Wing Series Book 2: "Wedge's Gamble"

      Moruth Doole. Kassar Forge had gone to Kessel a free man to educate the prisoners and had married. His daughter Lujayne had left and joined Rogue Squadron and their other daughter Inyri left with Zekka Thyne. Both Thyne and Vorru were members of Black Sun who were freed by Rogue Squadron to help liberate Coruscant

    Corran was partnered with Erisi Dlarit and went undercover to Coruscant as?Star Wars X-Wing Series Book 2: "Wedge's Gamble"

      Erisi's Kuati Telbun. Telbun were drawn from the middle classes on Kuat. They were raised and trained by their families to excel in academics, social manners and athletics. When they reached the appropriate age, they underwent a battery of tests that produced a ranking by combining scores for intelligence, grace, health and genetic make-up. The upper classes of the great Kuat merchant houses then purchased a Telbun from their families for the purpose of parenting a child with a member of the merchant family, then raising that child. The child would be heir of the merchant house, thereby getting all the benefits of its birth, while the Telbun's family would be greatly enriched but the fees paid for the Telbun's service.

    Who did Wedge go undercover to Coruscant as?Star Wars X-Wing Series Book 2: "Wedge's Gamble"

      Colonel Antar Roat. A metal mask covered his forehead, right eye and cheek on down to the edge of his jaw. Part of the mask continued on past his right ear, flattening it utterly and on back to the rear of his skull. Another piece curled down along his jaw and wrapped around his throat. A round lens set in place over his right eye enlarged it and made it very easy to see how blue the contact lens he had on was. Surface pressure kept the mask in place, making it decidedly uncomfortable to wear. It also made the rounded edge on his face dig sufficiently into his skin to appear as if the metal had replaced flesh on that side of his face. The mask also unbalanced his head enough that his neck hurt too much to hold his head straight all the time. As a result he let his head loll to the right for the most part, and that added to the disguise.

    Who shipped Ooryl, Nawara, Rhysati, Gavin, Shiel and Aril to Coruscant?Star Wars X-Wing Series Book 2: "Wedge's Gamble"

      Mirax Terrik. Mirax took them aboard the Pulsar Skate to Invisec. Invisec is a chunk of the Imperial City known as the Invisible Sector as it's populated by aliens.

    Wedge knew his contact Iella Wessiri already. How did he know her?Star Wars X-Wing Series Book 2: "Wedge's Gamble"

      She was Corran's partner in Corsec. Corran and Iella had been partners in Corsec under Kirtan Loor. They had then escaped along with Gill Bastra and Loor didn't know where they were. Corran and Iella meet up together in this book for the first time since they left Corsec.

    Who did Corran think he saw talking to Kirtan Loor?Star Wars X-Wing Series Book 2: "Wedge's Gamble"

      Tycho Celchu. Later Wedge told Corran he couldn't have seen Tycho as Warlord Zsinj attached their base at Noquivzor and Tycho was presumed dead.

    When visiting the Impirial Palace, Corran saw Loor. What did he do?Star Wars X-Wing Series Book 2: "Wedge's Gamble"

      Kissed Erisi to stop Loor seeing him. Corran knew that Loor would recognise him and blow his cover. Even though Corran wanted nothing better than to kill Loor for releasing his father's murderer, Corran knew their mission was more important so he kissed Erisi to stop Loor recognising him.

    Who did Loor use to spy on the Rogue's?Star Wars X-Wing Series Book 2: "Wedge's Gamble"

      Zekka Thyne. He told Thyne if he didn't he would release information saying that Thyne had been working for the Empire before his imprisonment on Kessel and had helped with the downfall of the Black Sun. Thyne knew if Vorru heard that he wouldn't hesitate but to kill him and therefore agreed

    Which species did Loor tell Derricote he couldn't test the Krytos disease on?Star Wars X-Wing Series Book 2: "Wedge's Gamble"

      Wookies. Loor told Derricote he couldn't have Wookies as they were a valuble labor source.

    Isard creates the PCF when she leaves Coruscant, leaving Loor in charge of it. What does the PCF stand for?Star Wars X-Wing Series Book 2: "Wedge's Gamble"

      Palpatine Counterinsurgency Front. Isard created a veritable web of Special Intelligence Operative commando and terrorist cells. Their mission was to annoy the Rebels on Imperial Centre as they have annoyed the Imperials throughout the galaxy.

    What was Rogue Squadron's first plan to lower Coruscant's shields?Star Wars X-Wing Series Book 2: "Wedge's Gamble"

      They sliced code's into the new Computer Core Memory. The Imperial computers operate through a very restrictive language that has a hierarchical command and access structure. Programs that go in to be effective across the system have to be authorised at the highest security levels. These levels are ultra-secure. Programs are scanned for content and that content is compared to their access levels. If a system program comes in without an access code that is cleared for entering system programs, it's dumped. The codes are changed by the hour and old memory cores are swapped out daily and destroyed within a week - though after a days worth of use they're pretty much well ready to be junked. Each night clean new memory cores are placed in the computers and trillions of exabytes of transactions are transferred to the new cores. This happens throughout the system.

    What went wrong with their mission?Star Wars X-Wing Series Book 2: "Wedge's Gamble"

      Thyne sold them out to the Empire. Thyne told Loor what Rogue squadron was planning and the Empire ambushed them before they had a chance to use their core. Inyri Forge then shot Thyne when he tried to kill Corran. Inyri had realised he didn't care about her. With his dying breath he told Corran that there was still a spy within Rogue Squadron

    Who appeared in a Headhunter and saved them?Star Wars X-Wing Series Book 2: "Wedge's Gamble"

      Tycho Celcu. Wedge explained to Corran that he had chosen to keep Tycho's presence a secret to safeguard him and to give them a weapon the other side knew nothing about. As a backup

    How did they decide to bring down the shields?Star Wars X-Wing Series Book 2: "Wedge's Gamble"

      With a storm. The plan was to use one of the Orbital Mirrors to boil the water in the reservoirs, which would create a storm so powerful it would take down the power grid. As the computers try to match the demand, there should be a complete power grid collapse.

    How did the Alliance plan to let the Alliance fleet know the shields weren't down in time for their ambush?Star Wars X-Wing Series Book 2: "Wedge's Gamble"

      Pulling them out of Hyperspace early. The Interdictor Cruiser 'Corusca Rainbow' had been sent to the fringe of the system. If the shields weren't down at a prearranged time then she would power up her gravity well and bring the fleet our of hyperspace prematurely. If Rogue Squadron was able to get the shields down in time, the fleet wouldn't be pulled out of hyperspace and would continue on towards Coruscant

    Who did Corran Horn accuse of being the Imperial Spy amongst Rogue Squadron?Star Wars X-Wing Series Book 2: "Wedge's Gamble"

      Tycho Celchu. Tycho confronted Corran and told him he was wrong about seeing him talking to Kirtan Loor. Corran told Tycho that there were to many odd things about Tycho to make him believe Tycho was innocent. Corran then vowed that once the mission was over, he was going to make ferreting out the spy his hobby. Tycho declared then that at least Corran was honest therefore he had nothing to fear, as he wasn't the spy

    What is Lara Notsil's real name?Star Wars: X-Wing Series Trivia

      Gara Petothel. This name was given to her at birth, but she discarded it when she chose to join Wraith Squadron. She believed that this was the name of an Imperial agent and that it no longer belonged to her.

    What is the name of Lara Notsil's R2 unit?Star Wars: X-Wing Series Trivia

      Tonin. Vape is Face's R2 and was fitted with a special command, "cold one". This command dispensed a beer. Whistler is Corran Horn's R2 unit and is fitted with special code slicing circuitry because of Corran's work with CorSec. Gate is Wedge's R5 unit. Gate was originally named "Mynock" but Wedge decided to change it. Tonin was instrumental in the sadbotage of Iron Fist's hyperdrives, leading to the escape of Lara and many of Zsinj's alien test subjects.

    Which planet was Warlord Zsinj from?Star Wars: X-Wing Series Trivia

      Fondor. Kuat was the homeworld of General Melvar, Zsinj's second in command. Chandrila was the homeworld of Ran Kether who now flies as Rogue Seven in Rogue Squadron. Commenor is the homeworld of Todra Mayn, who flies as Polearm one.(Polearm squadron is an A-Wing squadron.)

    What is the name of General Han Solo's flagship while hunting for Zsinj?Star Wars: X-Wing Series Trivia

      Mon Remonda. The Mon Karren and Mon Delindo were both Mon Calamari cruisers in Solo's taskforce, however, neither of them matched the weapons, shields or hull armor of Mon Remonda. The Millenium Falcon is Han Solo's ship, but he does not use it while hunting for Zsinj.

    Warlord Zsinj's first ship was also named the Iron Fist. What class of ship was this?Star Wars: X-Wing Series Trivia

      Victory Class Star Destroyer. The Victory Class Star Destroyer is the smallest of the Star Destroyers as it is manned by a crew of 5200. The Interdictor Class Cruiser prevents ships from entering hyperspace. The Imperial Star Destroyer Mark 2 is the second largest class of Star Destroyer, with 47000 crewers and troops. The Dreadnaught was a pre-clone wars ship which required a large number of crewers for its size (more than 16000) and because of its versitility, it is still widely used.

    How many crewmen are on a standard Imperial Super Class Star Destroyer?Star Wars: X-Wing Series Trivia

      280000. The first Super Star Destroyer ever built was presented to Darth Vader as a command ship with which to seek out the rebels. The next Super Star Destroyer, built under the same name (Executor) was later buried beneath the buildings of Coruscant. This ship was commanded as a prison facility named Lusankya and later left Coruscant under the command of Director Ysanne Isard.

    When a team from Rogue Squadron is sent on a diplomatic envoy to Adumar, which members are sent?Star Wars: X-Wing Series Trivia

      Wedge Antilles, Tycho Celchu, Wes Janson and Derek Hobbie Klivian. Wedge Antilles, Tycho Celchu, Wes Janson and Derek "Hobbie" Klivian were sent to Adumar to attempt to bring the planet under the banner of the New Republic. This was prompted because of the planets enormous capacity for producing Proton Torpedoes, an expensive form of missile, utilised by New Republic Snub-Fighters.

    Following the conclusion of the Battle of Thyferra, Corran Horn gets married. What is the name of his new wife?Star Wars: X-Wing Series Trivia

      Mirax Terrik. Corran and Mirax were married aboard the Super Star Destroyer: Lusankya following it's capture and liberation to the New Republic. This ceremony was completed, much to her father's disgust, in secrecy as to prevent Mirax's father (Booster Terrik) from interfering.

    The giant walking machines, known as AT-AT's have caused much destruction in their time. What do the letters AT-AT stand for?Star Wars: X-Wing Series Trivia

      All Terrain Armoured Transport. These Transports were made famous at the battle of Hoth and have extremely well armoured hulls, which make them almost impervious to light arms fire (such as that of a Blaster Rifle or a Snow Speeder). However, the armour is not to the standard of ship's hull armour. As a result of this, these giant walkers can be taken down with a few shots from snub-fighter laser cannons.

    When Wraith Squadron were attempting to lure Zsinj into a trap, they flew a mock version of the Millenium Falcon. What did Wraith Squadron name this mock ship?Star Wars: X-Wing Series Trivia

      Millenium Falsehood. Chewbacca worked on this ship to make it close to an exact replica of the Millenium Falcon. It was piloted by Wedge Antilles on missions which were carefully planned as to lure Zsinj into a trap set up by the New Republic.

    What is the name of the highest ranking Bothan in the New Republic government?Star Wars: X-Wing Series Trivia

      Borsk Fey'lya. Fey'lya is generally regarded as a political adversary for most people in the New Republic. He is extremely suspicious, and enjoys making other people feel uncomfortable. Occasionally he abuses his power if he sees fit to do so. Asyr Sei'lar (an ex-member of Rogue Squadron) returned to Bothan society to attempt to change the system which created men like Fey'lya.
