Blue Squadron (Rebel Alliance)

Blue Squadron was an airspeeder and starfighter squadron that served as part of the Rebel Alliance's starfighter corps during the Galactic Civil War. The squadron most notably participated in the Battle of Hoth and Battle of Endor.

Battle of Hoth
Blue Squadron was part of the Rebel force stationed on Hoth when the Empire discovered the base, launching an invasion that signaled the commencement of the Battle of Hoth. Using T-47 airspeeders, the pilots of Blue Squadron helped to defend Echo Base from All Terrain Armored Transports (AT-ATs) and All Terrain Scout Transports (AT-STs). They destroyed the AT-STs with the speeder's primary blasters and used their harpoon and tow cables to defeat the AT-ATs. This allowed three transports to escape the base.

Battle of Endor
Blue Squadron participated in the Battle of Endor above the forest moon. During the battle, Ten Numb, a male Sullustan starfighter pilot, flew a B-wing starfighter under the callsign Blue Five.
