Scythe Squadron

Scythe Squadron was an Imperial TIE/ln starfighter squadron that was stationed on the second Death Star. They saw action during the Battle of Endor.

History
Sometime prior to the Battle of Endor, the squadron was stationed in the Anoat system.

Scythe Squadron was equipped with upgraded SFS P-w702 ion maneuvering jets to improve performance within the tight confines of the second Death Star. In addition, the squadron flew a number of training missions within the superstructure of the second Death Star to familiarize the pilots with the confined space.

Major Mianda flew Scythe 1, and Lieutenant Hebsly flew Scythe 3. The majority of the TIE fighters of Scythe Squadron were destroyed while pursuing Rebel Starfighters, either from colliding into the walls, or from the Death Star's explosion.
