Renegade Squadron/Legends

Renegade Squadron was a Rebel Alliance starfighter squadron which served during the later years of the Galactic Civil War. Created shortly after the Imperial ambush of the Rebel convoy at the Battle of Derra IV, it was named in memory of Commander Narra's destroyed Renegade Flight, a flight element of Red Squadron, the early Rogue Squadron. Traditionally associated with the Incom T-65 X-wing fighter, Renegade Squadron was, at times, loosely paired with Rogue Squadron, the Alliance's most famous fighter unit, and went on to participate in several important battles of the Galactic Civil War.

History
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 the newly-promoted Commander Jasek Dallin, grandson of Jace Dallin, a Navy officer made famous for his participation in the Stark Hyperspace War and the Battle of Rendili from the Clone Wars.

When the new Rebel headquarters had been completed on Hoth, the Rebels found themselves desperately short of supplies and military units as a result of the ambushes at Derra IV and the Ison Corridor. Renegade Squadron was assigned to protect the base alongside Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles' Rogue Squadron, expanded from Red Squadron's Rogue Flight into a fully-fledged squadron. The Rogues were given a more restricting role than they had enjoyed over the previous months as a truly "rogue" squadron. During this time the pilots of the two squadrons had ample opportunity to get to know each other, and strong friendships were formed. However, Alliance Logistics were only able to obtain a limited number of atmospheric vehicles for defense, which were assigned to the Rogues, and engineers immediately began work adapting the airspeeders for combat and cold-weather conditions. The Renegades would continue working with their X-wings, on patrol, traffic clearance, etc. During the Battle of Hoth, Renegade Squadron was charged with escorting the first of the Alliance's fleeing Gallofree Yards GR-75 medium transports past the Imperial blockade, as Rogue Squadron defended Echo Base in the modified Incom T-47 airspeeders. Two Renegade Squadron X-wings can be seen escorting the first transport past the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer Tyrant, disabled by the Rebels' v-150 Planet Defender ion cannon. The pilots escaped 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 MC80 Star Cruiser Independence, spending the following few months on fleet escort duties.

In the prelude to the Alliance's attack on the incomplete second Death Star at Endor, members of the Squadron, along with other Alliance forces such as elements of Rogue 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 Quasar Fire-class bulk cruiser Flurry. There, they helped repel the alien Ssi-ruuk invaders during the Battle of Bakura.

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.
