Sharr Latt Sharr Latt was a Human male from the planet Coruscant and a member of Wraith Squadron during the Yuuzhan Vong War . After the Battle of Coruscant in 27 ABY , the Wraiths made their way to Borleias , where much of New Republic Fleet Group Three under Wedge Antilles was stationed , and were incorporated into the New Republic Intelligence units under the umbrella of Iella Wessiri Antilles . There , Latt served as an adviser to Jaina Solo on psychological warfare during the New Republic ' s occupation of Borleias , aiding her in creating the appearance that she was an avatar of the Yuuzhan Vong goddess of deception , Yun - Harla . Latt also helped plan Luke Skywalker ' s mission to Coruscant to hunt down the deranged Dark Jedi Lord Nyax , though he did not accompany this mission , instead temporarily joining Twin Suns Squadron under Solo to act as one of her personal advisers . At Borleias , he served aboard a B - wing starfighter as a gunner , piloted by a Mon Calamari pilot named Beelyath , and was responsible for launching the Goddess missile as Twin Suns Ten , luring several Yuuzhan Vong pilots to their death in a dovin basal minefield as they chased the projectile . In 44 ABY , after the Wraiths were disbanded during the Daala administration , Latt was recruited by his former leader Loran to reform Wraith Squadron . He recruited and led a team of operatives tasked with investigating Galactic Alliance General Stavin Thaal , who was suspected of conspiring against the government . Latt ' s team was able to gather evidence that implicated Thaal , but stumbled across another Wraith Squadron team during their investigation . The two teams were discovered and pursued by forces loyal to Thaal , but managed to escape and join forces under the command of founding Wraith Squadron member Voort saBinring . Latt then assisted in creating a complicated series of ruses that lured Thaal to Kuratooine , where the Wraiths exposed his treachery and ultimately captured him . Following their success , Latt continued to serve as part of Wraith Squadron , which had been officially reinstated by Garik Loran . Biography . Sharr Latt was a native of Coruscant . At some point in his life , he joined the New Republic Defense Force and became part of Wraith Squadron as a psychological warfare expert around the time of the Yuuzhan Vong War . Adviser to a goddess . Latt was present along with other members of the Wraiths during the Siege of Borleias . After Jedi Knight Jaina Solo arrived from the Hapes Cluster to join the New Republic garrison at Borleias , she discussed the possibility of using a Yuuzhan Vong suspicion that she was related to their deception goddess , Yun - Harla , against the Yuuzhan Vong in the Pyria system . The garrison commander , Wedge Antilles , saw potential in her idea and assigned two pilots of Wraith Squadron , Latt and Gamorrean Voort saBinring , to help Solo execute her disinformation and psychological warfare campaign . This essentially involved creating the appearance of Solo being an avatar of Yun - Harla . In their first meeting , Latt took the opportunity to casually flirt with Solo , though she rejected his overtures flatly . Instead , he informed her that he and saBinring would be her advisers , supervising her deification into Yun - Harla . He criticized some of the deceptions she had employed against the Yuuzhan Vong at Hapes — such as when Solo fired tracers at enemy vessels that gave the Yuuzhan Vong ships her sensor signature , causing them to fire on one another — saying they were too one - dimensional and that they could be eventually deciphered . Latt advised Solo that as a goddess , she needed to have an endless supply of deceptions to continually confound the Yuuzhan Vong , ones that they couldn ' t figure out . Solo agreed and also began taking up several other mannerisms that marked her as special and even worthy of a deity , such as not doing manual labor and only doing work related to creating deceptions or combating the Yuuzhan Vong . Latt noted that he and saBinring fit into that plan by serving as the unusually dressed and mannered companions that one might expect a goddess to keep around her . Latt also aided Solo in making her personal squadron , Twin Suns Squadron , into the personal bodyguard of a goddess . Their unit saw looser regulations , full torpedo loads , and had a separate mess from the rest of the pilots , even the elite squadrons of the Borleias garrison . He also told her that she could have a porter to act as her personal servant and Solo chose her boyfriend and fellow Twin Suns pilot Jagged Fel for the role with glee . However , when informed of his new duty , Fel rejected the plan . Latt was at first indignant , but Fel informed them that he had a better person in mind for the role : Jedi Master Kyp Durron , who was also in Twin Suns Squadron . Latt liked this plan better and furthermore recommended that all the pilots in Twin Suns have their titles and ranks inflated to help elevate their prestige , as the unit ' s unorthodox command structure would not be affected by the addition of ranks or titles . Also , when Solo allowed her pilots to decorate their snubfighters however they pleased , Latt suggested that Solo decorate her own craft with images of voxyn , a Yuuzhan Vong - created creature designed to kill Jedi . Solo had already faced off against voxyn and survived , but the beasts had slain several of her friends ; Latt therefore figured that having Solo identify herself with such a symbol would confuse the Yuuzhan Vong . Service in Twin Suns . Latt later joined Twin Suns Squadron and flew with the unit during the final stages of the Battle of Borleias . In this capacity , he served as the gunner for a B - wing starfighter , which Solo had been given . While a Mon Calamari pilot named Beelyath flew the craft through groups of coralskippers , Latt manned the weapons station of the starfighter . As a wave of coralskippers closed in on the Twin Suns ' position , Latt fired off the Goddess missile , a specially engineered projectile that emulated the specific gravitic signature of Solo ' s starfighter . As the Yuuzhan Vong craft ' s sensors operated on gravitic frequencies , they were fooled into chasing the missile . Latt then remotely piloted the missile through a dovin basal minefield , luring many Yuuzhan Vong fighters to their demise before slinging the missile around a mine and ramming it into the final pursuer . Shortly after this , however , the " Executor " - class Star Dreadnought " Lusankya " rammed the Domain Hul worldship , effectively marking the end of the battle , as the New Republic forces withdrew thereafter . Although Borleias had been lost , the New Republic had inflicted heavy casualties on the Yuuzhan Vong forces and had slain one of the premier strategists of the Yuuzhan Vong , Czulkang Lah . Wraiths reborn . Latt survived the events of the Yuuzhan Vong War , but Wraith Squadron was disbanded when Natasi Daala became the Chief of State in the New Republic ' s successor state , the Galactic Alliance , and Latt retired . However , in 44 ABY , following the overthrow of the Daala administration , Latt was re - recruited by his former leader Garik Loran to unofficially reform Wraith Squadron in order to investigate the head of the Galactic Alliance Army , Stavin Thaal . Thaal was suspected of involvement in the Lecersen Conspiracy , which had nearly deposed the government a year prior before being discovered and stopped . To accomplish this mission , Latt recruited Wran Narcassan , a sniper and close - quarters combat specialist , a communications expert and slicer named Thaymes Fodrick , a Wookiee talented in infantry operations and wilderness survival named Huhunna , and a Devaronian medic named Drikall Bessarah . Latt ' s Wraiths investigated one of Thaal ' s bases on Vandor - 3 and Fodrick and Huhunna infiltrated the nearby settlement of Ackbar City as they gathered information . Fodrick devised transponder devices which were covertly attached to bacta casks in an army base on Coruscant , which transmitted their whereabouts back to Latt . When several of them ended up in Ackbar City , outside of a normal army base , Latt concluded they had been stolen and took his team to investigate . Though Loran had initially warned them away from Ackbar City , they decided to check out their evidence after Loran disappeared . After finding a subterranean facility manned by Thaal ' s elite Pop - Dog soldiers , Latt ' s Wraiths ventured belowground to investigate by boarding a ground vehicle . While underground , they determined that Thaal was crooked , running an operation to acquire supplies to set up his own private empire with the help of his loyal Pop - Dogs . While underground , Latt ' s team ran into a separate Wraith team led by Latt ' s former colleague Bhindi Drayson . After a quick stand - off , the two teams realized they were on the same side , more so when Latt was recognized by Myri Antilles in Drayson ' s team , whose father had founded Wraith Squadron and who had met Latt when she was a little girl . Loran had put together two Wraith teams , unknown to either Drayson or Latt , and they had stumbled upon the same objective . Their combined infiltration efforts triggered an alarm . Fleeing the Pop - Dogs , Latt and his team followed Drayson ' s team up on ropes and winches through the lift shaft that the alternate Wraith team had entered through . Both Wraith teams were able to escape , meeting up with a getaway speeder piloted by Voort saBinring , another former Wraith who had joined Drayson ' s team . The united Wraith Squadron teams fled in their speeder with the Pop - Dogs in hot pursuit . As hostile speeders closed on them , Latt ordered Fodrick to combine the data he had gathered with the information collected by Drayson ' s team and transmit it to the proper authorities , but their signals were jammed . The lack of clear authority between Drayson and Latt did little to aid their situation , but they ended up heading towards the derelict Mount Lyss Meteorological Station . During their flight , Antilles , accompanied by Jesmin Tainer from Drayson ' s team , slipped away from the speeder in an attempt to avoid the jamming and transmit either their findings or a call for help . To act as a diversion , Drayson decided to also debark and lay down covering fire . Latt was asked for someone on his team to help and he sent Huhunna due to her skill in rough terrain . saBinring piloted Latt and the remaining Wraiths to the abandoned station where they hunkered down . Latt took command , assigning some of the Wraiths to defensive positions to play for time while Antilles and Tainer sent their messages . He assigned other Wraiths to scope out the station for resources , escape routes , and weaknesses . Lastly , he set aside the two Duros civilians whom Drayson ' s team had rescued , Usan and Dashan Joyl and a Clawdite Wraith from Drayson ' s team named Turman Durra whom Bessarah had sedated during their entrance into the concealed base after mistaking him for a sentry . When the Pop - Dogs brought in several self - propelled plasma artillery vehicles , Latt pointed out the artillery would not remain in the area for too long , as they were almost certainly stolen vehicles that Thaal would not want to be seen in the open due to being reported destroyed in exercises . The Pop - Dogs nevertheless surrounded the station and began firing on them with both blasters and the artillery , though Narcassan was able to destroy one of the artillery units with his laser rifle . The siege was maintained through the night , with Huhunna and a badly - wounded Drayson returning in the early morning . Drayson ' s wound was mortal and despite Bessarah ' s efforts , she passed away after insisting that they not surrender . Her final words were to saBinring and Latt to " get these kids home safe . " In light of her death , saBinring took command , and Latt did not voice any objections , knowing that saBinring had far more experience . The Wraiths were rescued by the arrival of Wedge Antilles and his wingman Tycho Celchu , who had responded to Myri ' s distress signal and arrived after obtaining StealthX starfighters . Their aerial assault drove off the Pop - Dogs long enough for an evacuation shuttle piloted by another former Wraith , Kirney Slane , to convey them to safety on Corellia . Regrouping , they headed in small groups to Kuratooine , the likely destination for Thaal when the treacherous general decided to hatch his private empire scheme due to its remoteness and a sizable Pop - Dog presence on that world . Latt and Huhuna arrived via airspeeder at a cluster of abandoned prefabricated offices perched on a cliff overlooking an inactive quarry . After learning of a series of naval cargo ship hijackings linked together by all of the seized ships having a communications system produced by HyperTech Industries onboard , Latt hoped that they were connected to Thaal , surmising that at least it was likely they had been involved with the Lecersen Conspiracy . saBinring revealed that after the conspiracy had failed , Thaal was still using the sabotaged HyperTech systems to hijack the cargo in order to fund his extensive black - market operations . Antilles furthermore concluded that the hypercomm s were also forwarding key data in their transmission to Thaal , which gave him a considerable bargaining chip to either wield against the Galactic Alliance or sell to the highest bidder . saBinring devised a scheme to lure out Thaal to Kuratooine , dismantle his operations , and expose him as a traitor . To accomplish this , he sent Latt back to Coruscant to retrieve Zehrinne Thaal , the general ' s estranged wife . While on Coruscant , Latt was approached by an army investigator who was asking about Wraith Squadron . He realized that Thaal knew the Wraiths were onto him and deceived the investigator into thinking he was writing and making a living writing self - help quizzes . The investigator ' s questions also revealed that Thaal was looking for a third Wraith team , which was in fact a ruse of Loran ' s in order to deceive Thaal and his collaborator , Galactic Alliance Security chief Borath Maddeus , who had originally asked Loran to investigate Thaal while planning to betray Loran and the Wraiths . The fact that the ostensible third Wraith unit was allegedly composed of either fictitious or dead individuals confused the Wraiths , who were unaware that Loran had been misleading Maddeus in the event that Maddeus sent information about the Wraiths to Thaal to hunt down . Upon returning to Kuratooine with Zehrinne Thaal , Latt also saw General Thaal arrive . As the Wraiths unleashed a complicated series of ruses to expose Thaal ' s operation and ultimately capture him , Latt was assigned to bring down Zehrinne from where he ' d stashed her in orbit on Skifter Station . She arrived to find Thaal in a public confrontation after being driven into the open by the Wraiths and helped denounce him . He was arrested and taken away , allowing Latt to meet up with the other Wraiths in a delivery speeder re - purposed both for extraction and transmitting messages to lure down Galactic Alliance investigators to arrest Thaal . Once the operation was complete , the Wraiths extracted , returning to Coruscant , where Loran was able to also expose Maddeus . Following the successful takedowns of both Maddeus and Thaal , the Wraiths were reinstated by the new head of Galactic Alliance Security , Garik Loran , with saBinring as the new leader . Personality and traits . Sharr Latt was a jokester and a flirt , making multiple advances towards Jaina Solo , all of which were rejected . He routinely tried to make light of numerous situations and employed witticisms and sarcasm in his day - to - day conversations . However , Latt also knew how to be serious , particularly when his job required him to be ; as a Wraith , he was dedicated to completing his missions . Many of his more extravagant mannerisms were actually ploys to divert attention from himself even while being the center of attention ; people didn ' t see Latt for who he was as a result . He was a skilled pilot able to hold his own even in an elite unit such as Twin Suns Squadron , capable enough to remotely pilot a missile with enough skill to lead several Yuuzhan Vong starfighters to their destruction . Latt was also an expert in psychological warfare , having been trained in that discipline , and he had no problems with telling a higher - ranking officer when he thought their work in that area could have been better or could use improvement . Latt was also a capable leader , though his primary skillset remained psychological warfare . His specialty was in creating extensive ruses that instilled doubt or mistrust in their targets . Behind the scenes . Sharr Latt ' s first appearances were in the Enemy Lines Duology , written by author Aaron Allston . While it is possible that he may have been in the Wraiths during other parts of the Yuuzhan Vong War , no source has explicitly stated that . He later appeared in Allston ' s follow - on novel " " .
