I won't lie, we're gonna be in the thick of it. Our job's to keep the big fish protected, so you know what that means: swarms of little fish gunning for us. Be brave, be daring, and we'll all get through this.
—Squadron leader Mical Heste
Broadsword Squadron was a starfighter squadron that was part of the Rebel Alliance's starfighter corps during the Galactic Civil War. Comprised solely of RZ-1 A-wing interceptors, the squadron was tasked with interceptor and anti-starfighter duty. Following the victory of the Rebellion and the formation of the New Republic, the squadron was disbanded, with its members either retiring or moving onto posts within the New Republic Defense Fleet.
The Resistance's Dagger Squadron was considered the "spiritual successor" of Broadsword.
