I hear they have returned in the latest New Jedi Order books. The original Wraiths included: Wedge Antilles Wes Janson Myn Donos Jesmin Ackbar Hohass Ekwesh (Runt) Garik Loran (Face) Ton Phanan Falynn Sandskimmer Voort saBinring (Piggy) Tyria Sarkin Kell Tainer Eurrsk Thri'ag Posted by Jan Gaarni Wraith Squadron! Wraith Squadron was assembled by Wedge Antilles sometime in the second half of year 7 A.B.Y. It was composed of commandos, snipers, spies and infiltrators, making it capable to achieve much more than just dog fighting and blasting the crap out of ships. [Other info:] Well my favorite Charachter is Garik Loran. and to the ones who read the book know that my Nick, Wraith 8, is his callsign. I personally like the books very much, a lot of Humor and excitement in it. In the first book Kell was my Favorite, but in Iron Fist and Solo Command i thought Garik was cooler for the view of the books and some info go to: Wraith Squadron [/Other info:] The points go to: 1st.

setsuko Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Oh, and here's my shot at the bonus: Nien is a sollustan, and the language used to portrait his language is actually a Kenyan dialect, called Hayan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Gaarni Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Nien Nunb, a Sullustan and long time friend and partner of Lando Calrissian. He also copiloted the Millenium Falcon when Lando - along with Wedge - blew up the 2nd Death Star. Yes he spoke Haya, a Kenyan dialect. and here's something found funny: According to one popular anecdote, one of Nunb's lines translates to "one thousand herds of elephants are standing on my foot." LOL Would have loved to know exactly when in the movie he supposed to have said that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 He called Nien Nunb. As others have mentioned he's the Sullustian who copiloted the Falcon in RotJ. He wanted his help because Sullustians are very much at home in the dark. That's what was needed to mine the spice on Kessel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Gaarni Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 I believe it was R5-D4, built by Industrial Automaton. There have been many rumors about R5-D4 on why his motivator blew. One source state that R2-D2 sabotaged him to ensure he was not bought. Another states that he blew his own motivator so that R2 and 3PO wouldn't be seperated. And another states that R5-D4 was once a great Jedi - named Skippy. The fact is that the R5 line was a cheap knockoff version to the previouse succesfull lines, in addition to his poor state at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalGuard Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 Time to get on the Trivia BandWagon... Ok, Answer - R5-D4 extra-info: Indeed a cheap knock-off line designed to capitalise on the success of the R2 unit and appeal to more civilians due to their ability to pilot speeders independently, they tended to break down frequently and made consumers lose faith in Industrial Automaton until they released the R7 series... can I have the bonus point for this being my first answer?

Question: What is the name of the creature that pushes the force away? it makes a force free bubble around it. what is the name of that creature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalGuard Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 The creature is a Ysalamari, a small creature that looks like a caterpillar/lizard and is native to the planet Wayland. They were first used openly by Grand Admiral Thrawn, and after his death, anyone else who could find Wayland (like Talon Karrde). Scientists theorised that the Ysalamari's uniqyue ability was evolved as a form of defence from predators that hunt using the force as their primary scent (like the vornskyr - a panther-esque creature with a vicious stinging tale - that was later used as a genetic template for Yuuhzan-Vong Shapers to produce their dreaded Jedi-hunting Voxyn). Thrawn first used the Ysalamari in conjunction with the cloning facilities on Wayland to produce a clone that would not go insane due to 'the pressure of the force' on their growth accelerated conciousness. This would allow him to quickly create a high-quality navy to crew his Katana fleet of dreadnauts. He later used ysalamari to avoid being fried by insane Jedi-clone Joruus C'boath (who was originally intended by Zahn to be an insane clone of Obi-Wan Kenobi, but Lucas shut that idea down). enough background knowledge for bonus?
