The provided text comprises excerpts from the Star Wars: X-Wing: Solo Command novel by Aaron Allston, focusing heavily on the New Republic's special starfighter unit, Wraith Squadron, led by Commander Wedge Antilles and his newly promoted Captain, Garik "Face" Loran. The narrative details a complex military campaign against Warlord Zsinj, involving major fleet engagements and commando raids, such as the dangerous infiltration of the Binring Biomedical facility. A central plot point is the unfolding mystery and eventual revelation of one pilot, Lara Notsil, as a double agent for Imperial Intelligence, leading to internal conflict and personal turmoil among her squadmates, particularly Lieutenant Myn Donos. The excerpts also cover strategic discussions, the fate of other New Republic personnel like Admiral Ackbar and Mon Mothma, and the ultimate, successful dismantling of Zsinj’s military assets, including his devastating flagship, Iron Fist.
