Arrow Squadron

Arrow Squadron was a V-19 Torrent starfighter squadron formed by the Galactic Republic. The pilots consisted of clones of Jango Fett. The squadron participated in the Mission to Lanteeb, where it took casualties against the opposing droid starfighters.

History
In 21 BBY, the squadron was assigned to the Republic warship Coruscant Sky and flew V-19 Torrent starfighters. The pilots were clones of the Mandalorian Jango Fett. The squadron participated in the Mission to Lanteeb where a Republic flotilla engaged a Confederacy of Independent Systems fleet led by General Grievous. The pilots of Arrow Squadron were used in a deception during the course of the orbital engagement, chasing a Separatist spy ship piloted by a Jedi Master who was attempting to infiltrate the planet and stop General Lok Durd and his bio-weapon. Arrow Squadron engaged the Vulture droid starfighters while pilots of Gold Squadron harassed the spy ship. The ruse was successful and the Jedi Master landed on the planet.

After fourteen hours of engaging the Separatist fleet, Arrow Squadron had lost a quarter of its complement. The battle ended a few hours later when a corporate fleet put together by Senators Bail Organa and Padmé Amidala arrived over Lanteeb, forcing Grievous to flee.

Arrow Squadron appears in the 2010 novel Clone Wars Gambit: Siege.
