Shadow Squadron/Legends

"Minimal casualties, maximum effectiveness. That's us."

- Broadside, on Shadow Squadron

Shadow Squadron was a Republic starfighter squadron consisting of at least twelve BTL-B Y-wing starfighters. Regular members were Matchstick, Broadside, and Tag.

History


Anakin Skywalker personally trained Shadow Squadron. Originally, Shadow Squadron flew V-19 Torrent starfighters. They played a major role in the attack on, and subsiquent liberation of the Zygerrian Labor Processing Hub on Kadavo. After this, Shadow Squadron implemented the Y-wing starfighters that Skywalker obtained.

Shadow Squadron participated in the attack on Malevolence, taking heavy causalities. During the battle, Anakin Skywalker served temporarily as Shadow Leader. He was joined in his Y-wing by his Padawan Ahsoka Tano, and R2-D2, who served as their navigational droid. Jedi Master Plo Koon assisted as a Jedi fighter escort in his Delta-7B interceptor.
