Star Wars X-Wing Series Book 2: "Wedge's Gamble" Quiz

Answer: Aril Nunb and Pash Cracken

Pash Cracken is the son of General Airen Cracken, one of the Alliance's legendary leaders. Aril Nunb is the sister of Nien Nunb who flew the Millennium Falcon into the Second Death Star with Lando Calrissian. Asyr Sei'lar a Bothan and Inyri Forge, who's sister Lujayne had been the first member of the NEW Rogue Squadron to be killed, joined Rogue Squadron later in the book

Answer: True

Captain Pash Cracken had his own flight group out on the Rim. But because of his flying ability, members of his flight believed he lived a charmed life and couldn't be beaten. New pilots coming into his squadron are inculcated into this myth of his invincibility, and because of the legend they've built him into, he can't get them to listen to him or do he things he needed them to.

Therefore he decided to join Rogue Squadron where he can test his abilities against the best pilots the Alliance has to offer.

Answer: Noquivzo

In the meeting they discussed ways to liberate Coruscant and decided to free members of the Black Sun from Kessel to help them and in exchange for political Prisoners.

Answer: Both Corran and Nawara

Corran Horn used to be a member of Correlian Security and sent people to Kessel. Nawara Ven used to be a lawyer and tried to keep people from going to Kessel.

Answer: Moruth Doole

Kassar Forge had gone to Kessel a free man to educate the prisoners and had married. His daughter Lujayne had left and joined Rogue Squadron and their other daughter Inyri left with Zekka Thyne. Both Thyne and Vorru were members of Black Sun who were freed by Rogue Squadron to help liberate Coruscant

Answer: Erisi's Kuati Telbun

Telbun were drawn from the middle classes on Kuat. They were raised and trained by their families to excel in academics, social manners and athletics. When they reached the appropriate age, they underwent a battery of tests that produced a ranking by combining scores for intelligence, grace, health and genetic make-up.

The upper classes of the great Kuat merchant houses then purchased a Telbun from their families for the purpose of parenting a child with a member of the merchant family, then raising that child.

The child would be heir of the merchant house, thereby getting all the benefits of its birth, while the Telbun's family would be greatly enriched but the fees paid for the Telbun's service.

Answer: Colonel Antar Roat

A metal mask covered his forehead, right eye and cheek on down to the edge of his jaw. Part of the mask continued on past his right ear, flattening it utterly and on back to the rear of his skull. Another piece curled down along his jaw and wrapped around his throat.

A round lens set in place over his right eye enlarged it and made it very easy to see how blue the contact lens he had on was. Surface pressure kept the mask in place, making it decidedly uncomfortable to wear. It also made the rounded edge on his face dig sufficiently into his skin to appear as if the metal had replaced flesh on that side of his face.

The mask also unbalanced his head enough that his neck hurt too much to hold his head straight all the time. As a result he let his head loll to the right for the most part, and that added to the disguise.

Answer: Mirax Terrik

Mirax took them aboard the Pulsar Skate to Invisec. Invisec is a chunk of the Imperial City known as the Invisible Sector as it's populated by aliens.

Answer: She was Corran's partner in Corsec

Corran and Iella had been partners in Corsec under Kirtan Loor. They had then escaped along with Gill Bastra and Loor didn't know where they were. Corran and Iella meet up together in this book for the first time since they left Corsec.

Answer: Tycho Celchu

Later Wedge told Corran he couldn't have seen Tycho as Warlord Zsinj attached their base at Noquivzor and Tycho was presumed dead.

Answer: Kissed Erisi to stop Loor seeing him

Corran knew that Loor would recognise him and blow his cover. Even though Corran wanted nothing better than to kill Loor for releasing his father's murderer, Corran knew their mission was more important so he kissed Erisi to stop Loor recognising him.

Answer: Zekka Thyne

He told Thyne if he didn't he would release information saying that Thyne had been working for the Empire before his imprisonment on Kessel and had helped with the downfall of the Black Sun. Thyne knew if Vorru heard that he wouldn't hesitate but to kill him and therefore agreed

Answer: Wookiees

Loor told Derricote he couldn't have Wookies as they were a valuble labor source.

Answer: Palpatine Counterinsurgency Front

Isard created a veritable web of Special Intelligence Operative commando and terrorist cells. Their mission was to annoy the Rebels on Imperial Centre as they have annoyed the Imperials throughout the galaxy.

Answer: They sliced code's into the new Computer Core Memory

The Imperial computers operate through a very restrictive language that has a hierarchical command and access structure. Programs that go in to be effective across the system have to be authorised at the highest security levels. These levels are ultra-secure. Programs are scanned for content and that content is compared to their access levels. If a system program comes in without an access code that is cleared for entering system programs, it's dumped.

The codes are changed by the hour and old memory cores are swapped out daily and destroyed within a week - though after a days worth of use they're pretty much well ready to be junked. Each night clean new memory cores are placed in the computers and trillions of exabytes of transactions are transferred to the new cores.

This happens throughout the system.

Answer: Thyne sold them out to the Empire

Thyne told Loor what Rogue squadron was planning and the Empire ambushed them before they had a chance to use their core. Inyri Forge then shot Thyne when he tried to kill Corran. Inyri had realised he didn't care about her. With his dying breath he told Corran that there was still a spy within Rogue Squadron

Answer: Tycho Celcu

Wedge explained to Corran that he had chosen to keep Tycho's presence a secret to safeguard him and to give them a weapon the other side knew nothing about. As a backup

Answer: With a storm

The plan was to use one of the Orbital Mirrors to boil the water in the reservoirs, which would create a storm so powerful it would take down the power grid. As the computers try to match the demand, there should be a complete power grid collapse.

Answer: Pulling them out of Hyperspace early

The Interdictor Cruiser 'Corusca Rainbow' had been sent to the fringe of the system. If the shields weren't down at a prearranged time then she would power up her gravity well and bring the fleet our of hyperspace prematurely. If Rogue Squadron was able to get the shields down in time, the fleet wouldn't be pulled out of hyperspace and would continue on towards Coruscant

Answer: Tycho Celchu

Tycho confronted Corran and told him he was wrong about seeing him talking to Kirtan Loor. Corran told Tycho that there were to many odd things about Tycho to make him believe Tycho was innocent. Corran then vowed that once the mission was over, he was going to make ferreting out the spy his hobby. Tycho declared then that at least Corran was honest therefore he had nothing to fear, as he wasn't the spy
