Rogue Squadron
Initially, Rogue Squadron was the unofficial name of the X-Wing Red Squadron
which assaulted the first Death Star. It became the official title of
the snowspeeder pilots on Hoth, and eventually became the designation
given to Luke Skywalker's group of 12 X-wing pilots. After Luke resigned
his commission from the New Republic, Wedge Antilles was promoted to Rogue
Squadron's commander. He took Rogue Squadron into battle at Bakura, and
tried to keep the squadron vital in the aftermath of the Galactic Civil
War. However, a number of rookies got killed trying to live up to the
history of Rogue Squadron following Bakura, and so Admiral Ackbar approached
the Provisional Council of the New Republic to petition them to let him
restructure Rogue Squadron, from a political tool to a real team of crack
pilots. Wedge continued to be the squadron's commander, and Aril Nunb
was named Executive Officer. Wedge, however, felt that she was not as
good a teacher as she was a pilot, and petitioned to have her replaced
with Tycho Celchu. Under Antilles and Celchu, and a few Rogue Squadron
veterans, the squadron regained its mystique and became the elite group
of pilots it was destined to be. Following the liberation of Coruscant
from Ysanne Isard, the Rogues were awarded the first Coruscant Star of
Valor for their efforts. The squadron was then ordered to augment Han
Solo's fleet, which was planning to attack the Warlord Zsinj. All of the
squadron's members were against the mission, wanting instead to liberate
the planet Thyferra from Isard and exact their revenge on the way Isard
and Erisi Dlarit had used the squadron. The Republic refused this request,
ordering them to report for duty to Solo. Instead, every member of the
squadron submitted their resignation and created their own force with
which to attack Thyferra. After the battle to retake Thyferra was decided,
it was "discovered" by Airen Cracken that their resignations
were never processed, so the Squadron was reinstated to active duty. The
squadron served as part of the support structure for the Mon Remonda during
the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. It remained under the command of Wedge Antilles
until the defeat of Grand Admiral Thrawn and Prince-Admiral Krennel, when
Wedge accepted a promotion to General. Tycho Celchu became Rogue Leader
at this time, but eventually gave up the position to Wedge several years
later. The Rogues were reported destroyed while supporting a reconnaissance
mission over the moon of Distna, during the hunt for Krennel. Ysanne Isard's
clone, obsessed with eliminating the Rogues, had laid an ambush for them
at Corvis Minor Five. The ambush would have succeeded, if the real Ysanne
Isard had not dispatched Colonel Vessery to recover the Rogues. This allowed
them to work with Vessery's people to eliminate Krennel and Isard's clone
before returning to active duty. A semi-permanent monument to the fallen
Rogues was erected in the wake of the failed rescue of Sate Pestage from
Ciutric, after Ibtisam gave her life to allow the squadron to escape.
It was made up of holograms of those Rogues who had given their lives
to the Alliance and the New Republic. The insignia of the Rogues was centered
on the blue shield of the Alliance. Surrounding it were the images of
twelve X-Wing starfighters with engines burning, flying outward from the
shield. Four 12-pointed red stars surround the fighters, signifying the
far-reaching strength of the squadron. The number twelve is significant,
of course, because it represented the twelve positions of the squadron.

Tycho Celchu into battle against the forces of the Cartann nation. Tycho
was shot down during the battle, but survived and was rescued.

and the Running Crimson Flightknife during the war against the forces
of the Cartann nation, on Adumar. One of their pilots rescued Tycho Celchu,
after he was shot down in battle.
Savage Squadron
This was one of the two fighter squadrons created from pilots who were
on Dubrillion when the planet was attacked by the Yuuzhan Vong. It was
made up of Ugly-style starships piloted by non-military personnel, but
they impressed Rogue Squadron with their tenacious will to survive. The
Rogue Squadron pilots had referred to them as Salvage Squadron, but quickly
dropped that moniker when the pilots proved their skills. They supported
the Republic's defense of Dantooine from Yuuzhan Vong invasion.
Scavenger Squadron
Led by Commander Gennad Rozhdenst, this Alliance Y-Wing squadron was dispatched
by Mon Montha to guard Kuat Drive Yards against Imperial attack during
the Battle of Endor. Its ranks were filled with pilots who had been orphaned
from their original squadron as a result of the losses taken in previous
battles, and it had proved itself almost from its inception.

all but destroyed on its first mission near Gravan Seven, when reconnaissance
and intel failed to report that an Imperial ambush was awaiting them.
Donos was the only survivor.
Tough Squadron
This was one of two fighter groups made up from pilots who were stranded
on Dubrillion when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked the planet. Supported by
Rogue and Savage Squadrons, Tough Squadron was made up of starships which
lacked heavy shields and weapons. Most of the squadron's ships were only
armed with ion cannons. They supported the Republic's defense of Dantooine
from Yuuzhan Vong invasion.
Warden Squadron
One of General Salm's Y-Wing bomber squadrons serving the New Republic.
Warden Squadron was a part of Defender Wing.
Wraith Squadron
Formed by Wedge Antilles shortly after the Battle of Thyferra, when the
reformed Rogue Squadron could not immediately be re-assigned, Wraith Squadron
was made up of the degs of the New Republic's fighter pilots. Wedge felt
that there were some potentially great pilots who just needed another
chance, and formed the Squadron with the help of Wes Janson. The group
was originally designated Gray Squadron, but Wedge allowed the team to
choose its own name. Tyria Sarkin came up the name Wraith Squadron, named
for mysterious phantoms who were supposed to live under the beds of young
children. Among other names proposed were Dinner Squadron - under which
the squadron actually performed a mission - and Silly Squadron. Shortly
after the Wraiths participated in the destruction of the Razor's Kiss,
Wedge returned to Rogue Squadron, but remained in command of the Wraiths.
The Wraiths quickly proved their worth as an infiltration team, taking
out several key Imperial installations and providing valuable support
during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. After the defeat of Zsinj at Selaggis
Six, they were disbanded as a starfighter squadron and turned into an
Intelligence force working for Airen Cracken. Their insignia as a starfighter
group was a white circle bounded by a blue band and two gold rings. Within
the white circle were twelve images of X-Wings, flying in formation from
lower left to upper right. The lead ship was larger than the others arrayed
around it, and all were black in color.
