Resistance navy

The Resistance navy, also known as the Resistance fleet, was the naval branch of the Resistance's military forces during the cold war, and later subsequent war with the First Order. Officer ranks within the navy were Lieutenant, Captain, Major, Commander, Colonel, and Admiral. Ranking members of the Resistance navy could be identified by a badge with blue markings. Aiding the navy was the services of the Starfighter Corps.

Cold war
A number of Resistance and former Rebellion naval officers aided in the effort against the First Order due to the lack of action in the Senate.

Assault on Starkiller Base
After the First Order destroyed the Hosnian system, the Resistance deployed its starfighters to Starkiller Base in order to destroy its thermal oscillator, while Han Solo, Chewbacca and Finn disabled the shields, allowing its destruction while the weapon homed in on D'Qar. After Chewbacca detonated the bombs, the navy, after multiple runs at the base and Poe Dameron's decisive solo attack, managed to destroy the inner workings of the oscillator and return to base.

Evacuation
Shortly after Starkiller Base was destroyed, the Resistance fleet began evacuating their base on D'Qar. The escape was interrupted by the arrival of a First Order fleet consisting of several Resurgent-class star destroyers and one Mandator IV-class orbital bombardment platform. The dreadnought opened fire on the Resistance base almost immediately, but the base had been fully evacuated just in time. To buy time for the Resistance transports to escape, Commander Poe Dameron attacked the dreadnought in his X-Wing, eliminating its surface cannons and clearing the way for a squadron of Resistance bombers to attack. The resultant assault successfully took out the dreadnought, but at a high cost. All bombers were lost along with many of their escorting starfighters, but able to escape through hyperspace.

When the Resistance jumped out of hyperspace, they were quickly confronted by the First Order fleet, which was led by Supreme Leader Snoke's Star Dreadnought, the Supremacy. The fleet had managed to track them through hyperspace, knowing that the First Order would just pursue them if they went to hyperspace again, which would deplete their fuel levels, the Resistance piloted their fleet out of the First Order's range and their fighter pilots prepared to go out and attack. Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo was placed in command of the Resistance fleet after General Leia Organa became unconcious due to the attack on the Raddus command bridge. Dameron suggested that they come up with a strategy to attack the First Order fleet, but she was intent on maintaining their current course of action.
