Wraith Squadron, originally dubbed Gray Squadron, and also known as the Wraiths, was a hybrid Allied starfighter/fighter/commando unit developed by Wedge Antilles after the First Battle in Tordas. The original Wraith Squadron was largely made up of wash-outs and misfits, which gave the unit a number of psychologically and emotionally unstable pilots, albeit experienced members of the military with useful commando skills. The Wraiths were designed to fulfill the mission responsibilities of both a traditional starfighter and fighter squadron and a commando unit—a revolutionary concept in tactics for the Allies, and one that its founder felt was an essential development for the Alliance of Nations.
