Dinner Squadron

"Attention, Implacable. Be advised, you've just become the victims of Dinner Squadron!" "And Silly Squadron!" "Consider yourselves humilated. And welcome to Folor. Out."

- Kell Tainer and Hohass "Runt" Ekwesh

Dinner Squadron never truly existed in the Rebel Alliance duty rosters; the name was first dreamed up by Face during the competition to give "Gray Squadron" (later Wraith Squadron) a name. (He was apparently faint with hunger at the time.)

Kell Tainer borrowed the name to describe a tactic used at the Battle of Folor to distract the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer Implacable from reaching Folor Base and thus discovering the transport Borleias, which was unable to take off until it had made engine repairs.

Kell and Runt boosted the power to their transponder systems and shields to make it seem on sensors as if they were two units of X-Wings (presumably eight fighters). Blue Nine Dorset Konnair) and Blue Ten (Tetengo Noor), in A-Wings, stayed very close together and oscillated the power to their own shields, giving them a unique sensor signature that was difficult to get a sensor lock on.

The four pilots then used an old encryption code, recently cracked by Trigit's forces, which was effectively the same as broadcasting in the clear, and (badly) voice acted, with Kell pretending to be Tycho Celchu and Konnair playing Princess Leia, thus making Admiral Trigit believe that they were, in fact, Rogue Squadron and the Millennium Falcon, and furthermore, that the "Falcon" was unable to lift off. The admiral was fooled and moved to intercept the "Falcon", allowing the Borleias to repair and lift off.

Once Trigit realised he had been fooled, he ordered a turbolaser bombardment of the area the four starfighters were hiding in, but thanks to some impressive piloting on the part of Runt's "student mind", all four survived.

Dinner Squadron was later used as the inspiration for the Millennium Falsehood ploy.

"Show due respect. You speak of the only flight of Dinner Squadron, the one X-Wing squadron with an undefeated record and no losses."
