Loran Spitball
TheLoran Spitball was a tactic developed byWraith Squadron specifically for use while they were stationed aboard and operated from the modifiedCR90 corvetteNight Caller.
Developed by Wraith pilotLieutenantGarik Loran in7 ABY, the tactic involved venting the atmosphere out of and opening the door for the corvette's bow hold, which had been modified to carry nineX-wing starfighters instead of the fourTIE/LN starfighters that the warship had held while in service withWarlordZsinj (itself a modification of the standard Corellian Corvette design). The fighters were then used as static torpedo launchers, allowing the corvette to unleash as many as eighteenproton torpedoes in a single attack.
The tactic was used on two known occasions; first during theBattle of Talasea, where the tactic was created, and again at theBattle of Ession.
