hoteles en Tartu    To many people, Wedge Antilles is one of the greatest heroes of the Galactic Civil War. Dedication to the Rebellion is evident in everything he does, and his long career stands as a testament to his skill. To Princess Leia, Admiral Ackbar, and other leaders of the Rebel Alliance, Wedge is one of their single greatest assets, yet he remains unassuming and approachable, a hero for the working person. chambres d'hotel Limerick    Raised in the neutral Corellian System, Wedge's youth was not disturbed by the growing unrest in the greater Empire. He spent half of each year on a farm school in Corellia's northern hemisphere and half on his parents' fueling station in high orbit. Both places taught him how to ride: on Corellia's rolling hills, he herded naugas and nerfs from the backs of thaks and slopewings; and in space, he piloted tugs and shuttles. It was a tough life and not suited for everybody. Wedge's older sister, Syal, was not a child of the world of greasy rags and hydrospanners. In her late teens, she left home to pursue her more cosmopolitan dreams that even the wonders of Coronet City could not provide. Wedge hadn't spoken to her for some time, and how she was gone. Syal went on to use her business savvy and stunning beauty to become the acclaimed holostar Wynssa Starflare.

At the age of seventeen, Wedge was looking forward to a career as an architect or a pilot, perhaps someday owning his own freighter. But a tragedy occured that would change his life irrevocably and send him on the path of Rebellion.

An armed freighter, the Buzzzer, came into the Corellian system, haphazardly ignoring designated flight paths and even buzzing other ships. Wedge's parents, Jagged and Zena, knew that the ship meant trouble, and that the Buzzzerhôtels Marbella's pirate activities had warranted a bounty alert. But they also knew that it would be best to give them what they wanted and hope that they left without trouble. The station was unarmed.     Midway through refueling, however, a cadre of CorSec patrol craft responded to the pirate's presence. Captain Loka Hask ordered the Buzzzer disengaged, and its exhaust ignited the fuel lines. Wedge's parents managed to evacuate everyone from their module and then explosively detached it from the station. Wedge was forced to watch as his parents' module drifted away in flames. Jagged and Zena Antilles sacrificed their lives to save the thousands of other residents of the station. Bordeaux accommodation    Wedge took a modified Z-95 from a family friend, Booster Terrik, and pursued the pirates, catching up to them near Jumus. In a blistering attack that foreshadowed his later years as an X-wing pilot, Wedge laid apart the Buzzzer and destroyed it with a blast to the main weapons magazine. Captain Loka Hask survived and, horribly disfigured, bore a grudge against Antilles until their eventual showdown above Mrlsst in which Hask, an Imperial captain, was swallowed by a wormhole.

With no family left to tie him to Corellia, Wedge purchased a freighter with insurance receipts and went into business. Since many of his connections were through famed smuggler Booster Terrik, more often than not he hauled items for the Rebel Alliance. When the Alliance made an open call for fighter pilots in their new campaign against the Empire, Wedge signed up.

His tactics are used as textbook examples to new generations of Rebel pilots, and his piloting of the Incom T-65 X-wing is considered definitive and widely utilized in simulators throughout the galaxy. Even among Imperial squadrons, his name is spoken of with quiet reverence.     Wedge saved Luke Skywalker in the Battle of Yavin, allowing Luke to go on and destroy the Death Star. Since that time, he played crucial roles in the Battle of Hoth, the Battle of Endor, the Bakura Campaign, and dozens of sorties against other Imperial targets. Wedge shared the kill of the second Death Star with Lando Calrissian, but he characteristically remained more or less in the shadows.
