Star Wars : X - Wing Rogue Squadron : The Rebel Opposition The Rebel Opposition was the first story arc in the comics . It ran from July 1 to October 31 , 1995 . Plot summary . Rogue Squadron must make a food convoy run from Cilpar to Mrlsst . Cilpar is unaligned , but an Alliance representative , Targeter , has established contact with a Cilpar underground , who wish to join the Alliance . Upon arrival in Cilpar airspace , the Rogues are attacked by TIE fighters . Wes Janson is shot down , so Tycho Celchu lands to recover Janson . The rest of the squadron heads to their temporary base just west of Kiidan . They soon learn that the food convoy never arrived in the first place because someone tipped off the Imperial forces on the planet . They decide that they must find Targeter and her underground . Elsewhere , Tycho finds Janson and they hide out in a cave . Back at the Alliance encampment , a group of underground forces led by Elscol Loro arrives . They take the Alliance group to Tamarack , Loro ' s former home , to show the Rogues what Moff Boren Tascl has done to the local populace in his hunting of Rebels . In essence , this makes the Rebels as much a threat as the Imperials . Back in the cave , Tycho and Janson are surprised to meet a woman they believe at first to be Leia Organa . Actually , she is Winter , who is Cilpar ' s " Targeter " . Back at Tamarack , the underground and Alliance forces are attacked by Tascl ' s Imperial forces . They manage to escape , though . At the same time , Tycho has made his way to the local Imperial base and managed to infiltrate their ranks as a TIE Interceptor pilot , so that he may make his way back to the others and get help for Janson . Shortly thereafter , he must join the local TIE squadron in attacking the Rebels and underground . In the ensuing battle , Tycho ' s own astromech , piloting his X - wing , shoots him down - - or at least he thinks it is his astromech . It is actually Winter , who then returns to Janson ' s side . Back at the cave , shortly after Winter ' s arrival , Vance Rego , a member of the underground , arrives with a handful of stormtroopers and takes Janson and Winter ( whom he believes to be Leia ) prisoner . In the jungle , Tycho is " rescued " by the Imperials only to wind up in the same base - bound transport that Winter is in . Vance , the traitor , brings word to the Rebels and underground that Princess Leia ( actually Winter ) has been captured . They decide to both hit the Imperial base and save " Leia . " In the ensuing battle , Tycho once again flies with the Imperials , but soon turns on them . Vance is discovered as a spy and knocked out of a transport by Groznik , Loro ' s Wookiee companion . he is then devoured by a ronk in the jungle . As for Moff Tascl , Groznik nearly kills him for killing Throm Loro ( Elscol ' s husband ) , but instead they take him into custody . With the local Imperials dealt a major blow , the Rogues leave for Mrlsst , with Elscol as their newest squadron member , with Groznik in tow . Behind the scenes .
