Blue Squadron (Bothan)

Blue Squadron was a squadron of Bothan starfighter pilots who flew BTL-S3 Y-wing starfighters in support of the Bothan Spynet's efforts to aid the Rebel Alliance.

The pilots of this unit, joined by Luke Skywalker in his T-65 X-wing starfighter and Dash Rendar in his ship, the Outrider, were assigned to fly cover for a data-raid on the Imperial armed freighter Suprosa in order to steal the plans to the second Death Star. During the battle, the Suprosa launched a diamond boron missile at the incoming Bothan fighters. Despite the best efforts of Rendar to defeat the missile, it successfully detonated in the midst of the Blue Squadron formation, obliterating four craft and their crews in an instant. The surviving members then returned to Kothlis once the data had been obtained and given over to the slicers of the Spynet.
