After Aaron Allston's finale to the first "season" of X-Wing books in Starfighters of Adumar, there was still nearly a decade gap of history between that book and Michael Stackpole's comic series Union. In this episode, Wedge and Wraith dive into that history, covering the relevant sections of Planet of Twilight, Crimson Empire I, Dark Forces IV: Jedi Knight III: Jedi Outcast II: Jedi Academy, the Black Fleet Crisis, the Corellian Trilogy, the Essential Atlas/Essential Guide to Warfare (a terrible book, do not buy), and presenting a deeper discussion of The New Rebellion (1996 by Kristine Kathryn Rusch) and The Hand of Thrawn Duology (Spectre of the Past and Vision of the Future - 1997 and 1998 by Timothy Zahn), which each have extensive and important pieces of Wedge's story!
