Members[]

  • Blue Leader - Vin Nellis

Yavin[]

Blue Squadron served at the Rebel base on Yavin 4, and participated in the Battle of Yavin. The squadron was made up of six pilots, all flying X-wings.[3] It was essential in clearing the first Death Star's surface of turrets, and neutralized a larger laser cannon emplacement.[4] Their main goal had been to join Green Squadron in an attack run on the station's superlaser, and also hopefully distract the Empire from the exhaust port attack.[5]

Battle of Votto[]

Battle of Hoth[]

During the Battle of Hoth, members from the Rebellion's Blue and Green Squadrons and Rogue Flight were cobbled together and pressed into service as a unified "Rogue Squadron," doubling up as pilots and gunners aboard the Rebels' T-47 airspeeders.[5] The remaining Blues and Greens either piloted evacuating transports or their fighter escorts.

Second Battle of Crait[]

Endor[]

Blue Squadron participated in the Battle of Endor, though the pilot roster had been revised by this time. Ackbar had originally hoped for a full squadron comprised solely of B-wing starfighters. However, due to an unfortunate shortage of qualified B-wing pilots, three A-wings were used to flesh out the squadron during the battle. The B-wings were maintained by Verpine mechanics, and were equipped with armor-piercing missiles.

Each of Blue Squadron's three Flights contained three B-wings & one A-wing. The B-wings were charged with striking enemy capital ships while the A-wings kept them safe from starfighter attack. During the battle, the callsign "Blue Wing" was used to denote the squadron as a whole. However, it was also used as a moniker by the squadron's second-in-command after the death of Blue Leader. Blue Squadron's B-wings were also given orders to attack Imperial capital ships.
