Phoenix Cell

Phoenix Squadron was an elite starfighter unit and part of a cell of resistance fighters who rebelled against the Galactic Empire in the years prior to the Battle of Yavin. The cell was led by Commander Jun Sato and was part of the wider rebel network operated by Senator Bail Organa and Ahsoka Tano. The squadron piloted A-wing starfighters and were carried aboard Sato's command ship Home Base. The squadron could also be carried aboard the fleet's blockade runners using docking tubes. They flew on missions with the rebels and the crew of the Ghost. Several members of the squadron were lost in battle with Darth Vader. The survivors then scattered with the rest of the fleet.
