Garik Loran

Garik "the Face" Loran was, as a child, an actor for pro-Imperial propaganda movies--a job he would regret in his adult life. As an adult, Face joined New Republic Starfighter Command as a pilot/intrusion expert in Grey Squadron, a pilot-commando hybrid squad for misfits and washouts. After the squad was assembled, final roster selections made, and the squad renamed Wraith Squadron, Flight Officer Loran earned the designation Wraith Eight. He quickly became friends with his wingman Ton Phanan, who's death at the hands of Zsinj's Raptors gave Face a new perspective on life.

After a promotion to lieutenant, Face lead the Hawk-bats--a fake pirate group made up of members of Wraith Squadron. The Hawk-bats befriended Warlord Zsinj in order to learn more about him and his operations. Shortly after the destruction of Zsinj's Razor's Kiss by Wraith and Rogue squadrons, Face became the Wraith's new leader. With yet another promotion under his belt, Captian Loran continued to lead his squad well into the Yuuzhan Vong invasion.
