No no. Wes Janson came along with Wedge when he formed the Wraiths while Tycho was left in charge of the Rogues with Hobbie.

 

I prefer Rogue Squadron to the Wraiths simply because they epitomize the Rebellion and the New Republic. They're fast, surgical and efficient. But nothing can beat Elassar Targon, Master of the Universe. :p

a lot of people here seem to think that the wraiths are funnier than the rogues...which is true, if u base your judgement on the novels alone. however, let's not forget the x-wing rogue squadron comic series....saturated with humour. by far, the characters in the xwrs comic series (like plourr, wes, hobbie, nrin, xarcce) are far more likeable than people like the rogues in the novels. while it was marginally less funny than allston's trademark humour, the comics were enough to make u grow attached to the squad...if u take both humour & pilot skill into account, rogue squad comes out tops.

also, let's not forget that a certain portion of the wraith jokes (not the majority, but still a significant enough quantity) originated from the republic's resident jester, wes janson...who was, first & foremost, a rogue. furthermore, starfighters of adumar-which is, IMO, the single most laugh-inducing book in the star wars universe- was centered around the 4 chief rogues.\

 

so here's to the rogues! the best fighter squad in the galaxy!

"thats just because the wraiths never had a game of their own .. they would ROCK!"

you're effectively saying that the wraiths don't rock....

 

but seriously, the rogue squad game didnt do justice to rogue squadron. their flying was horrible and the dialogue worse. even without the game, rogue squad would still be at the top of the list of most people....thanx to the comics (esp) & the novels.logo.gif

 

rock on, rogues !..!
