Renegade Squadron/Legends

Renegade Squadron was a Rebel Alliance starfighter squadron which served during the later years of the Galctic Civil War. Traditionally associated with the Incom T-65 X-wing fighter, Renegade Squadron was, for a time, loosely paired with Rogue Squadron, the Alliance's most famous fighter unit. One of the numerous units created as part of the Rebel Alliance's rapid expansion in the wake of their victory at the Battle of Yavin, the Renegades were assigned to numerous Alliance bases as the Rebel leadership continually moved from one planet to another. After a time the squadron came under the command of Commander Jacek Dallin, grandson of Jace Dallin, a navy officer made famous for his participation in the Rendili Dreadnaught crisis during the Clone Wars. During the Battle of Hoth, Renegade Squadron was charged with escorting the first of the Allianc's fleeing Gallofree transports past the Imperial blockade, as Rogue Squadron defended Echo Base in modified Incom T-47 airspeeders. The Renegades managed to temporarily disable one Star Destroyer, escaping to freedom with most of their assigned transports intact. As the Alliance increasingly moved its base of operations from groundside bases to the growing fleet, unit postings, reflected the trend. Renegade Squadron was assigned to the Mon Calamari MC-80 cruiser Independence, spending the following few months on fleet escort duties. In the prelude to the Alliance's attck on the incompleted second Death Star at Endor, members of the Squadron participated in the commando raid on the Imperial Naval Academy at Prefsbelt IV, stealing the Lambda-class shuttle Tydirium which would later play a central role. During the Battle of Endor, Renegade Squadron flew as part of Red Wing, under Commander Wedge Antilles. Although the Alliance was successful, the fleet suffered heavy casualties, Renegade Squadron included. However, when a desperate plea for help arrived from the outpost of Bakura, the remaining pilots of the squadron were shipped off alongside Rogue Squadron and other units aboard the Flurry. Upon their return, the Alliance leadership decided to formally disband Renegade Squadron, transferring the highly experienced group of survivors into positions of command in other, less experienced squadrons.
