Kyber Wing

Kyber Wing was a starfighter formation attached to the Jedi Order's starfighter corps and was comprised of Jedi Knights who specialized in dogfighting; they were considered the best pilots among the Jedi. At its height, Kyber Wing boasted up to eighty pilots, who piloted Delta-6, Delta-7 and Delta-7B Aethersprite-class starfighters, Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptors, Rho-1 Limulus-class couriers, and A-6 interceptors; the majority of Kyber Wing's starfighters were designed with a green paint job. Each individual squadron within Kyber Wing was named Kyber followed by a designated number (i.e "Kyber One", "Kyber Two", etc).

In the final years of the Jedi Order, Master Saesee Tiin - a reputable pilot whose capabilities were well known since the Stark Hyperspace War - was assigned to oversee Kyber Wing, and even held the secondary title "Wingmaster".

History
Prior to the formation of dedicated Jedi starfighter squadrons, Jedi rarely specialized in piloting and only used starfighters when it was deemed necessary for a particular mission. At the request of many of the Order's members, however, the Jedi High Council decided to form Kyber Wing, only selecting members that had a reputation of being exemplary pilots. While virtually all Jedi had the right to pilot starfighters in certain missions, Kyber Wing's members almost exclusively participated in space operations and rarely saw combat against infantry except when carrying out reconnaissance missions and providing air support to Republic infantry. Kyber Wing's first significant mission was in 38 BBY, when two squadrons were deployed to the Mandalore system during the "Great Clan Wars" to support Republic Judicial Forces in a number of engagements with Mandalorian privateers. Kyber Wing's members would work alongside the Judicial Forces in other combat missions in the following years, particularly against pirates and fleeing outlaws.

During the Clone Wars, Kyber Wing's individual squadrons were divided among separate Republic Navy fleets across the galaxy, with each pilot being granted command over their own squadrons of clone-operated starfighters. Their most distinct operation during the Clone Wars was during a rescue mission in the Lola Sayu system, in which members of Kyber Two were led by Saesee Tiin to engage droid starfighters and carry out strafes on a fortified enemy position, allowing the mission's ground operatives (which included the Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, to escape after partially succeeding in their mission. During Order 66, Kyber Wing was fragmented alongside the rest of the Jedi Order, however a few Kyber Wing pilots may have survived the purge and either went into hiding or offered their skills to mercenary fleets.

Years later, an Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor that once belonged to Kyber Wing ended up on the black market and subsequently in the hands of a mercenary pilot that served the Rebel Alliance as a privateer. This mercenary eventually passed this interceptor down to his son, who piloted it in service of the Resistance against the First Order.
