Blue Squadron (Galactic Republic)/Legends



"Commander, we just lost Blue Squadron!"

- Red Leader at the Battle of Muunilinst

Blue Squadron was a Republic starfighter squadron active during the Clone Wars.

History
Early in the war, the clone pilots of Blue Squadron flew V-19 Torrent starfighters. This Blue Squadron fought in the Battle of Muunilinst, under the command of Anakin Skywalker. Its pilots assisted in the destruction of the orbital gun platforms, though the squadron was wiped out when Asajj Ventress joined the fray in her Fanblade starfighter.

It was presumably reformed, as another clone V-19 Blue Squadron participated at the Battle of Rendili. After the development of the ARC-170 starfighter, Blue Squadron was among the units in the Republic fleet to receive ARC-170s for combat and utilized them at the Siege of Saleucami. The pilots of the ARC-170s favored a configuration that provided more power to weapons than to shields, when compared to Red Squadron. Republic Y-wing starfighters with blue markings also flew for one of the Blue Squadrons.
