Loran Spitball

The Loran Spitball was a tactic developed by Wraith Squadron, specifically for use whilst they were stationed aboard the CR90 Corellian Corvette Night Caller.

Developed in 7 ABY by Wraith pilot Garik Loran it involved venting the atmosphere from the corvette's main hold, which had been modified to carry 9 X-wings. Then the fighters could be used as static torpedo launchers, allowing the corvette to unleash as many as 18 proton torpedoes in a single strike.

It was used on 2 known occasions; first during Admiral Trigit's attack on New Republic forces in the Morobe system, where the tactic was created, and again at the Battle of Ession.
