Introduction
-------------
The Expanded Universe has held a special place in many of our hearts and minds, me especially. One of my favorite
book series was the X-Wing Series by Michael A Stackpole and Aaron Allston. It was these stories that motivated me
to pick up X-Wing Alliance back in the early 2000's. Here I set out to make a series of battles retelling the
battles and story of the Wraith Squadron books of the X-Wing series.

This battle is based upon the story laid out in the book X-Wing: Wraith Squadron by Aaron Allston. The events of
the book have changed due to the Emperor's Hammer's involvement, but I am attempting to do a much more faithful
retelling of the events of the book than my previous battles.


Story
-------------
The “official” chronicle of the events of the fall of Warlord Zsinj say that it was brought about by a single
squadron of wash-out pilots in the New Republic, but we know better in the Emperor’s Hammer. The ingenuity and
deviousness showcased by Wraith Squadron could only have come from the superior pilots of the TIE Corps. Only after
they were successful, and due to their exceptional skill at masking their true allegiances, did the New Republic
spin the fiction that they were a squadron under Republic command.

------------

See the previous Wraith Squadron Battle (TFTC-IW 1) for the story so far.

---------------------


NOTE: To fully follow the story of the battle, and to gain a further understanding of the plot, it is important to
read the emails in the pilot’s quarters before/after each mission and all of the start and end commander’s
briefings.
