Kettch


 * "His name is Kettch, and he's an Ewok."
 * "No"
 * "Oh, yes. Determined to fight.  You should hear him say, 'Yub yub'.  He makes it a battlecry."
 * "Wes, assuming he could be educated up to Alliance fighter-pilot standards, an Ewok couldn't even reach an X-wing's controls."
 * "He wears arms and legs extensions, prosthetics built for him by a sympathetic medical droid. And he's anxious to go, Commander."
 * "Please tell me you're kidding."
 * &mdash;Wes Janson and Wedge Antilles

Biography
He was created by Wes Janson during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj as a prank, much to Wedge Antilles's dismay. According to Wes, he was a eager Ewok fitted with prosthetics which enabled him to fly an X-wing.

The prank soon took a life of its own, as an Ewok stuffed toy began making appearances around the Hawk-bat base, a pseudonym the Wraiths took in order to infiltrate Warlord Zsinj's forces. At one point, Wedge even found his TIE Interceptor's comm system modified, distorting his voice which resulted in him soundling like an Ewok.

When Garik Loran and the other Wraiths went to Iron Fist disguised as Hawk-bat pirates, he was asked by Warlord Zsinj whether there was an Ewok pilot among their ranks, having been informed of Wedge's analyzed transmissions.

Face then gave a mixed story about Kettch's origins, borrowing heavily from Voort saBinring's story, a fellow Wraith. This then lead Warlord Zsinj to conclude that Kettch might be an escaped subject from Binring Biomedical facilty's Epsilon Wing.

During the raid on Razor's Kiss, Wedge was forced to fly his starfighter with the Kettch doll attached to his body, giving many pilots the impression that an Ewok was really flying the starfighter.

In the end, Wedge finally repaid Wes for all the Kettch pranks he's pulled on him. An elaborate scheme with the help of the other Wraiths resulted in Wes appearing stark naked before the entire squadron. That was the end of Liuetenant Kettch's appearances and pranks.
