Sparrow Squadron

Sparrow Squadron was a squadron forming part of the New Republic Fleet and being commanded by a member of the Military Council, Colonel Phox.

The squadron participated in the successful Mission to Destroy Shmi's Eye, a cruiser possessed by the Huge Empire of the Sith. In 22 ABY, when Hosnian Prime was invaded by the Galactic Minority's forces, the squadron was one of a handful to leave the planet. During the Neimoidian War, the team engaged in the Space Battle, and was entirely shot down during the fight, which provided the eventual cause of its end. Colonel Phox himself sacrificed his life to save the population residing in the Theed City by executing a hyperspace maneuver and colliding with the adversary's ship at the speed of light.

Destruction of Shmi's Eyes
In 11 ABY the New Republic lost its previous capital planet after the Huge Empire of the Sith's forces, with Shmi Skywalker to be in charge, entirely blew up the planet of Chandrilla. As a result, the survivors got together in the Galactic Senate Building and safely managed to leave the planet, which fire had already been opened towards. Upon the building's deck, which turned out to provide them with an interplanetar-travelling feature, they directly headed to Hosnian Prime to settle there. As soon as military forces headed by General Han Solo had developed a plan for the station to be destroyed, a fleet composed of V-wing-classed fighters, forming part of Sparrow Squadron, attacked the Oko Shmi cruiser and succeeded to blow it up.

In 22 ABY, in the face of Hosnian Prime being invaded by the Galactic Minority's forces, Sparrow Squadron was one of a handful of groups to flee into exile in a successful way.

Admiral Prewt, an officer serving the Minority, got into his ship and headed nearby Naboo. Upon docking on a certain cruiser close to the planet's surface, he went to the bridge, where Upel Newtareg, the Vice President of the Minority, was said to be present. As Admiral Prewt entered the room through the back double door holding a transmission, he found him standing with his hands crossed back and feeling in a sudden need of domination. When the plump officer approached his boss and stood within a suitable distance, the latter listlessly asked the former whether a peace of news had popped up. The stocky officer nodded and confirmed the droids being turning off in mass. He forsaw that an interruption of the panel transmitting the wireless electricity upon the surface of Naboo might be meant by this. With his face turned ethusiastic, Upel laughed, and the more time it took him to look through the glass at the planet, the more convinced he seemed that he had been right to recommend that Broasca Nar not order a wireless army to be produced. It was then that he asked Prewt to share with him an opinion of Uahoo's, the actual holder of Minority's leader's title. Admiral, in turn, only informed his boss of no contact to the already-mentioned Tusken Raider. Continuing not to look at his speaker, Newtareg regarded Uahoo not to have been up to the task that he once took upon his back. After that, he passed a command for an immediate destruction of the Theed City. Prewt, astonished by the order, found it immoral, and it was why he mentioned of a lot of human civilians residing down there. About to leave, the Deputy President stopped and asked him ironically whether he had not passed it clearly. After his boss left, Prewt paused. Eventually, however, when asked by one amongst officers whether to execute the command, he stammered so, but emphasized that Otoh Gunga should be opened fired towards, not Theed itself.

Soon a single, clear statement was heard all over the ship: fire. As soon as the main gun was full-powered, a beam was launched in the direction of Otoh Gunga. With the beam crashing into the planet's surface, broad fire immediately rose towards the sky, lighted the nearby area, and eventually ended up floating along with its remains. It was more or less at the same point that the Skawa Cruiser of the New Republic Fleet left the hyperspace, with Chancellor Grewpsha upon the deck. The woman entrusted Phox with an the attack to be begun, which contributed to six V-wing fighters leaving the cruiser in order to pounce upon the enemy.

In the meantime, Upel Newtareg returned onto the Minority's cruiser's bridge holding a white, coffee-filled cup. Upon coming up to the glass, he pleasantly looked down and praised Prewt for his good job, unaware of Otoh Gunga being burned rather than Theed. It caused the admiral to pray to his gods for the misrepresentation not to be exposed. However, when a short while passed, he chose to thank and asked his boss to glance through the window, consequently informing of V-wing fighters' attack. Upel Newtareg did what he was asked for. Nonetheless, he expressed a doubt about a threat from them. Despite, he ordered vulture-like droids to strike back. At these words, Prewt proved it impossible due to their deactivation. Consequently, about to get nervous, Upel sought to figure out a B-plan. In the final stage, he passed a command that every officers take a proper position to shoot towards fighters from there. In the end, he addressed Prewt directly to ask that another shot towards Theed be performed for him to rest assured that everything went to plan.

Soon every single fighter ended up shot down. Through his communicator, Phox heard distressful voices of two amongst dying pilots. When he slowed down, he found it clear that the cruiser was not reachable either for the fighters, which he was flying the last of, or for Skawa itself. In the wake of the certain failure, Grewpsha addressed the Colonel and passed a statement to come back immediately. She foresaw that any actions performed would not bring a positive result considering he was the only survivor. Phox's plan, however, was far different. He only looked at the gun, which was again directed to the planet. It was then that he announced that he could not agree for so many human victims. At these words, the Chancellor repeated the statement to come back, arguing that he would not handle anything. He, in turn, firmly opted to follow his intention. Upon turning off the navigation, he addressed the Chancellor and Speaker Holdo, who was standing nearby. He said that it had been an honor for him to serve with them. The other thing to be turned off by the Colonel was his communicator. After this, he aimed the ship at the gun and began seeking a hyperspace tunnel. After he slowly closed his eyes, the little fighter immediately collided with the Minority's cruiser's gun, which proved Phox's sacrifice of his life.

Upon the bridge, Upen Newtareg was not even strong enough to run. In the face of a flame approaching him, he continued holding his white, coffee-filled cup, becoming slightly astonished. A different method of action was taken by Prewt. The plump Admiral turned around and began running towards the door. Despite, due to his genetic-determined clumsiness, he stumbled upon the floor. As he lay leaned on his right elbow, he became feeling more and more hot, also under his mental, eye-covering goggles, as though they had started melting. With his last strength, he glanced at the glass, where he spotted Vice President Newtareg's back, which — a moment later — disappeared in the overwhelming glow of fire, as would he himself in a while.
