X-wing Rogue Squadron: Requiem for a Rogue is a four-part story arc in the X-wing: Rogue Squadron series of comic books written by Michael Stackpole & Jan Strnad. The first issue was published on March 1, 1997, by Dark Horse Comics. The story is set in the Star Wars galaxy approximately one year after the Battle of Endor in Return of the Jedi, and five years after the Battle of Yavin in Episode IV: A New Hope.

Synopsis

Rogue Squadron is sent to track down a lost Bothan ship full of innocent civillains; victim of a rare computer bug that transposes spatial coordinates. They soon learn that the mission is far more complicated. Wedge Antilles is shot down and presumed dead. The wild, savage humanoid natives are armed with Imperial blasters. Most everyone is acting completely out of character.

The Rogues must work with the Bothans to simply survive, rescue Wedge and discover the source of the strange energies making everyone off-kilter.
