Anyone know if their X-Wings used the same red markings as Rogue Squadron or used grey markings?
I know its a strange question but currently making a bunch of EU pilots for the Star Wars X-Wing game on Tabletop Simulator.

Wraiths used gray. They were actually called Gray Squadron during training until Tyria Sarkin came up with the Wraith name.

Thanks, been a while since I've read those books I remembered their TIE's having a gray scheme but couldn't remember for the X-Wings. Also Garik Loran takes over the Wraiths at the end of Solo Command right?

Technically, Face takes over fairly early in Solo Command. He's promoted to brevet captain (essentially a trial run) and Wedge goes back to leading the Rogues (while also serving as overall CO of Mon Remonda's four squadrons), and the captaincy is made permanent at the end of the book as Wraith Squadron gets de- and re-commissioned away from Starfighter Command and over to New Republic Intelligence. Face continued to lead the squadron up through Darth Caedus's rise, but Daala disbanded them when she took over the GA. After the events of the Fate of the Jedi series, Face was tasked to look into corruption in the GA and reactivated the Wraiths unofficially.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Wraith_Squadron has more, but since I've got a Wraith Squadron-inspired tattoo, I damn well better know their story. ;)

Nice, and thanks for all the information. I always like asking someone knowledgeable or skimming through a book versus Wookipedia, especially for the little details.
