From Quiz X-Wing Book 4: The Bacta War

Answer: Bror Jace

Bror Jace left the Rogues at the end of "Rogue Squadron". He told them that his uncle (?) was ill, and that he had to go to his homeworld, Thyferra. The spy in Rogue Squadron relayed his flight path to the Imperials. The Imperials ambushed his X-wing, and the Rogues thought he was dead. Bror actually took an unscheduled detour on his way home, and got aboard a freighter to take him to Thyferra. They loaded his X-wing with a bomb to simulate a proton torpedo misfire, and sent it on its way. Bror made his way to Thyferra on the freighter. His uncle was never sick. Bror instead met with the Ashern rebels, and recommended that Qlaern Hirf contact Wedge Antilles for support. When Corran, Mirax, Iella, Elscol, and Sixtus all went to Thyferra to set up liaisons, a firefight broke out at the spaceport. Bror helped rescue his friends. After everyone had healed up, Bror returned to Rogue Squadron with Mirax and Corran. Elscol and Sixtus were characters created in the "X-Wing: Rogue Squadron" comic series, which was also written by Michael A. Stackpole.

From Quiz X-Wing Book 3: The Krytos Trap

Answer: Krytos Virus

Isard had the Krytos virus created by General Derricote. Derricote formerly ran the base on Borleias that the Rogues took in "Rogue Squadron". He was also a keen scientist, and was brought to Imperial Center (Coruscant) to create the virus. Derricote was unable to create a virus that came close enough to Isard's specifications, and he was put into Lusankya as punishment. Many non-humans disliked the Empire because it was a human-centric government. Isard planned to let the Rebel Alliance take Coruscant, but only after she had infected a significant population with her virus. The virus only affected certain non-human species, and could be cured by bacta. This was meant to cause tension between the humans in the Rebel Alliance and their non-human allies, while simultaneously bankrupting the Rebel Alliance by forcing them to buy large amounts of bacta to fight the spread of the virus. Kirtan Loor, in "Wedge's Gamble", was charged with preventing the Rebels from taking Coruscant before it had been properly infected. The Rogues helped take Coruscant a week before Isard wanted them to, and their strategy involved destroying a water reservoir. Isard had been using the water supply to spread the virus, so destroying the reservoir drastically slowed the spread of the virus. As a result, the virus did not do as much damage as Isard had hoped it would, and it never managed to escape Imperial Center.
