''Wraith Squadron'' (1998) is the fifth of ten books in the ''Star Wars: X-wing'' series of novels. It was written by Aaron Allston.〔David and Steve, "(Review of ''X-Wing - Wraith Squadron'' )", ''TheForce.Net''.〕 ==Plot== Wedge Antilles, fresh back from the Bacta War on Thyferra, decides to make a new fighter squadron/commando team. While pitching the idea to Admiral Ackbar, he proposes a way to build the squadron without any cost to the New Republic: he'll use screw-ups, wash-outs, and pilots who are a hair's breadth of being kicked out of Starfighter Command—the pilots that no one else will take. Whilst Rogue Squadron was compiled from elite pilots with ground fighting expertise as a secondary, this new squadron was to be consisted of expert ground combatants with piloting skills as a secondary. Antilles, with help from Wes Janson, scrounges up a team that comes to be known as Wraith Squadron: *''Jesmin Ackbar'', communications expert and the niece of Admiral Ackbar *''Hohass "Runt" Ekwesh'', a Thakwaash with multiple personalities *''Garik "Face" Loran'', a former Imperial child-recruitment actor *''Voort "Piggy" SaBinring'', a Gamorrean pilot *''Kell Tainer'', the son of a Rebel pilot that Janson was forced to kill and a demolitions expert *''Myn Donos'', the sole surviving pilot of an Imperial ambush to his Talon squadron *''Ton Phanan'', former doctor and part mechanical *''Falynn Sandskimmer'', vehicle specialist from Tatooine with chronic insolence *''Tyria Sarkin'', former Antari Ranger from Toprawa with minor Force abilities *''Eurrsk "Grinder" Thri'ag'', an expert code slicer and prankster During a routine patrol, the squadron is ambushed by a new invention of Zsinj, EMP/ion mines that leave the whole squadron dead in space. They set a trap to ambush the Night Caller, which is so successful that they seize intact security codes and holonet communications with Warlord, and refit the ship to serve as a Trojan Horse for Zsinj. At the end of the plot, the Wraiths are part of a force that attacks Admiral Trigit, destroying his ship. One of the escapees, Gara Petothel, the mastermind behind the destruction of Talon Squadron, assumes a cover identity of Lara Notsil, a prisoner of Trigits. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wraith Squadron」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
