Rose Squadron (Eclipse timeline)

"A band of pilots led by a broken woman and an android with the desires to avenge a fallen partner."

- An unknown individual

Rose Squadron, sometimes simply just as "Roses", was a starfigher squadron of the Rebellion and Imperial Alliance turned Alliance remnant faction by 4.6 ABY after the assassination of Ruby Tachibana, the leader.

Rebel Alliance
Forming after the Battle of Yavin in 0 BBY, Ruby and her right hand woman had brought together a group of pilots and began to fly for the Alliance as Rose Squadron. This squadron fought in many battles during the Galactic Civil War, losing and replacing several members.

After the Battle of Endor, the Alliance fragmented alongside the Empire and soon later in 4.6 ABY, the leader was assassinated when the Imperial and Alliance remnants were reorganized into the Galactic Eclipse Empire.

Independent faction
After the death of their leader, Rose Squadron then disappeared and remain fiercely loyal to its new leader. After this reorganization, the squadron turned into a faction and started to use Y-wings and A-wings alongside their X-wings. Weiss Jenkins, previously second-in-command, took control of Ruby's modified X-wing and made it her own personal starfighter. Along with the additions of Y-wings and A-wings, the faction recruited more former Alliance pilots into their ranks, claiming several Quasar Fire-class carriers and Ton-Falk-class escort carriers to carry their starfighters when docked.

The faction later fought against the New Empire in the war against both the Imperial and Alliance remnants.
