Bandit Squadron

Bandit Squadron was a squadron of Z-95 Headhunters that was deployed by the Mon Calamari Star Cruiser Liberty on a mission related to the investigation of the TIE Experimental Project. Pilot Ace Azzameen was a member of this squadron.

Because of the covert nature of the mission, it was deemed necessary to conceal Alliance involvement, thus starfighters less closely associated with the Rebels than X-wings, Y-wings, B-wings, or A-wings were chosen. The Z-95 was considered an appropriate craft.

Armed with ion pulse warheads, the Z-95s of Bandit Squadron were able to disable a modified Escort transport in addition to examples of a TIE Warhead and a TIE BigGun.

Behind the scenes
In light of its existence as a cover, it is presumed that Bandit Squadron was disbanded immediately following this mission, since it is never referred to again in any of the subsequent missions of X-wing Alliance.
