Talon Squadron (New Republic)



Talon Squadron was a New Republic starfighter squadron formed shortly after the Battle of Thyferra. It was commanded by Brevet Captain Myn Donos.

History
Talon Squadron was one of a number of new squadrons created by the New Republic. It was commissioned following the creation of Gauntlet Squadron, and prior to the formation of Wraith Squadron. All the pilots in the squadron were trained by Lieutenants Derek Klivian and Wes Janson, veterans of Rogue Squadron, and placed under the command of Corellian Myn Donos.

Sadly for Donos, his entire squadron was ambushed near Gravan 7 thanks to the system being recently marked safe by a New Republic Intelligence operative who turned out to be the Imperial trained and Zsinj-loyal Gara Petothel. With no intelligence on the Imperial ambush, Talon Squadron was destroyed, with Donos left as the sole survivor. With such heavy losses, Talon Squadron was decommissioned and Donos transferred to Wraith Squadron, losing his brevet rank and remaining a lieutenant.
