The Normandy? He turns the unfamiliar name in his mind, then opts not to worry about it. The Alliance Fleet had always been a hodgepodge of miscellaneous cargo and transport ships swarming around mid- and heavy cruisers; that didn't even go into the long string of independent ships flying for the Alliance that never integrated into the fleet. It's not just possible to have not heard of one of them, it's downright plausible.
A freighter, probably - someone who had run something like commando transport during the war when they'd been short-sticked on shuttles and needed something outer atmo to ground. She'd probably been commissioned like a thousand other nobodies between Yavin and Endor and then stuck with it when the Alliance went New Republic.
Wedge's toe hits on a stone. He bends down, works it out of the sand and hefts it between his hands. Sure, this'll work.
"I'm a pilot with a fighter squadron." He's not going to mention which one; people get weirdly reverential and start asking a hundred questions about Luke Skywalker and taking Coruscant when he does and they have better things to do. "But Home One, usually."
