I noticed based on the link below that this is the ship Ethan is firing at. Anyone know who flys these things? Anyone think these will be in wave 5?
Yevethan D-type Fighter
I kind of hope not. There are better choices, but since they are pictured already in a card...

They are from the Black Fleet Crisis.
The Yevetha are the species who created and flew them, their homeworld is in the Koornacht Cluster. They were enslaved by the Empire as construction workers and dockhands for the secret shipyards built there, but revolted after the Battle of Endor and enslaved the crew of the Imperial vessels stationed there in turn. They are incredibly xenophobic, even more so than the Empire, and were forcibly disarmed (actually, they nearly massacred themselves in suicidal assaults) by the New Republic.
The D-Type Trifoil is their only named starfighter, and their faction's primary feature is its refusal to tolerate or even acknowledge other factions. I can't see them being included in anything other than a "historical-style" expansion with a collection of some of the other minor threats from Star Wars, like Ssi-Ruvi, unless a LOT more fiction comes out about them. And as much as I would love such an expansion personally, it's a very niche product for what is already a niche game.

Well actually X-Wing has been a pretty big crossover success, I think. But yes, the Yevetha would be an INCREDIBLY niche addition to the game.
