Aggressor Wing

Aggressor Wing was a wing of New Republic Y-Wings that was commanded by Colonel Horton Salm during the period after the Battle of Endor. The Aggressor Wing was given the task of delaying the evacuation of Brentaal IV, in order to prevent the fleeing Imperials from looting the planet prior to the Battle of Brentaal. Salm was promoted to General following this action. Shortly afterward, the Aggressors were instrumental in assisting Commando Team One in liberating Sate Pestage from Ciutric, then returning to the theater of battle to save Rogue Squadron from Imperial attacks.

Approximately 6 ABY, Aggressor Wing was reformed in conjunction with Rogue Squadron. General Salm began training Champion Squadron, Guardian Squadron, and Warden Squadron on Folor. The wing began a rivalry with the X-wing squadron during training after their embarrassing defeat by the Rogues during a training exercise. To add insult to injury, the Rogues arranged for their new squadron crest to be displayed on the Y-wings main display when they were "shot down." This was later made up for when the Rogue Squardon quartermaster, Emtrey delivered a gross of new flight suits to Aggressor Wing. Two weeks after the exercize, the wing was made fully operational by Admiral Ackbar.

The first major operation for the wing was the Assault on Grand Isle, the Rachuk Sector capital. During the operation, the Carrack-class light cruiser Expeditious and the Lancer-class frigate Ravager arrived. The anti-starfighter frigate would have destroyed the Y-wings, but quick thinking by Corran Horn and a torpedo volley from Warden Squadron destroyed the Ravager.

The wing also participated in the Battle of Borleias. During the battle, the wing was assigned to the Bulk Cruiser Mon Valle. The wing was ordered to pull out by General Laryn Kre'fey, but disobeyed orders and stayed close to the Star Destroyer Emancipator. When the Imperials sprang an ambush, Salm ordered the wing back in, destroying a number of TIE Interceptors and rescuing the Rogues.

A second attempt at taking Borleias was more sucessful, with the arrival of Defender Wing and a second wing of fighters covering Lieutenant Judder Page and his commando unit as they infiltrated the base and captured it. Aggressor Wing also participated in the seizure of one of Warlord Zsinj's station at Yag'Dhul.
