Legend

this was the name given to the remote-controlled machine created by Cubber Daine, Kell Tainer, Voort saBinring, and Eurrsk Thri'ag while they were part of Wraith Squadron. The Lunatic was created to provide a distraction for the Wraiths to escape from Xobome 6, shortly after Apwar Trigit attacked Folor. The Lunatic was built from a smuggling compartment, to which the Wraiths attached an R2 unit, a power gnerator, and a laser cannon. It was designed to resemble floating debris, while masking the presence of the pilot inside. Roughly the size of a large coffin, the Lunatic also was "piloted" by Voort saBinring, who volunteered to fly it because his fat-covered body would protect him from the cold, since the Lunatic would not have much in the way of life support. The Lunatic would be left adrift in space near Xobome 6, to be discovered by Trigit and the Implacable, but was instead caught by one of Trigit's CR90 corvettes, the Night Caller. Voort managed to infiltrate the ship's bridge and subdue its crew, capturing the ship for the New Republic.
