Behind the scenes
The original 4-issue comic series of this series contained a number of spelling and continuity mistakes that were corrected in Omnibus: X-wing Rogue Squadron Volume 1. They included:


 * Plourr implying Coruscant was under New Republic control, which it would not be for another couple of years.
 * Wedge referring to a bfass tunnel in the Death Star II, which was changed to 'bypass tunnel'.
 * Elscol's comment on there being no Imperial troops withing 'a hundred klacks' was changed to 'klicks'.
 * Changing Mrisst to Mrlsst, as this was the correct name of the planet the Rogues head to in the next arc.
 * General changes to the flow of the Targeter story thread, as a lot of it initially did not make sense.
 * many corrections to spelling/punctuation and minor dialogue tweaks.
