Summary
Part 5 has three semi-separate phases (Isard’s Revenge, Shadow Hand, and the path to Starfighters of Adumar)
I'm currently posting the third phase, which covers the events after Empire's End. The superweapons in that and Dark Empire were definitely toned down, and it also had lots of inspiration from the “Retreat from Coruscant” story in Tales from the Empire (where Taryn Clancy comes from.) On that note, a spoiler that I didn’t want to spring mid-chapter: Dorset’s parents are going to be off-screen casualties when the Imps retake Coruscant and start fighting each other pre-Dark Empire. It’s a sad plot point I’ve had in mind since the beginning.
If you’re seeing this I assume you’ve read Parts 1-4 already but the first chapter has some recap details as well. The Dramatis Personae list is meant to encompass all of Part 5, so some people there (especially on the Imperial side) won’t show up for awhile.

Summary
Having re-read the Wraith trilogy during the pandemic (and with a lot of free time), I wondered what the series would look like from the POV of Dorset Konnair - the aggressively fast A-Wing pilot with lots of tattoos. Now it’s getting into the Thrawn trilogy. (Part 3, on the aftermath of Selaggis, ended with a hook about Thrawn and C’Baoth.)
Part 4 includes my idea of what the Wraiths were doing then, alongside the A-Wing pilots who are expanded from their novel depiction or original characters. The main three each get a bit of romantic subplot in this, but that’s kept in the background compared to the action. There isn’t graphic violence, but the dark nature of the war is an element in this even more than Parts 2-3.
Since I took a pause after Part 3, this opens with a list of the characters and some “the story so far” details in the first chapters. This whole thing is very niche around the Star Wars stories I enjoy most, and there’ll be some obscure references to the X-Wing books/comics and other Star Wars works as well as callbacks to my own Parts 1-3. I usually explain that in the chapter notes.
Credit to Aaron Allston, Michael Stackpole, and Timothy Zahn, without whom this wouldn’t exist.

Summary
This continues my series on the unsung A-Wing hero of the Wraith trilogy (If you haven’t, I recommend reading parts 1 and 2 given the amount of original material.) It covers the period between Solo Command and Heir to the Empire, though the first half is focused on Dorset recovering from the events at Vahaba and Selaggis. Survivor’s guilt is a major element - it builds on the bleakness of the Part 2 ending until around Chapter 5. (The “major character death” tag is because of the continued effects of Part 2, I promise Dorset doesn’t lose any more friends in this one.)
Credit to the late Aaron Allston for writing the Wraith trilogy and to Stackpole for the Rogue books as well. I was inspired to write this by reading the excellent Interregnum series on here, so check that out too. And the kudos spam bot struck again so disregard that.

Summary
Note: Most (54, specifically) of the guest kudos are from a bot so don't expect this to be as good as that makes it appear.
This picks up immediately after "Triumph" in my Dorset Konnair series, with Part 1 just providing an overview of how I built up the character. (At least reading Triumph is recommended given the amount of original detail on her backstory, personality and even the tattoos.) This part covers the rest of the Wraith trilogy. If you haven't read the Wraith Squadron books I'm surprised you're even here, and curious what you'd make of it. Since this follows the books from her POV, there are portions of dialogue from the actual series (though that's a definite minority). All credit to Aaron Allston for creating such great characters and storylines.
As the title suggests, this does not end on a high note like Triumph did. "Victory's Price" would have worked well, except that A) it's taken and B) I've got a bit of T-theme going here.

Summary
Inspired by Admiral_Byzantium and DrMckay’s incredible “Interregnum” story (and their usage of Atril Tabanne from the first Wraith Squadron book), I decided to write what the Zsinj campaign - and beyond - would look like from the POV of Dorset Konnair, the lead Blue Squadron A-Wing pilot who Kell and Runt raced against just before the Battle of Folor in Wraith Squadron. (This is my first thing written and posted like this, so take that into account.)
