History[]

Rebel Alliance[]

In 0 BBY, Merrick Simms flew a T-16 skyhopper under the call sign Green Leader while stationed at Anchorhead Base on Tatooine, where he conducted trials for trainee pilots such as "Rookie One" through the nearby Beggar's Canyon.[7][8]

An X-wing pilot who escorted the freighter Otana past Imperial Star Destroyers during the evacuation of Hoth was designated Green Leader.[9]

After the Battle of Hoth, Stevan Makintay commanded a Green Squadron stationed at Eyrie Base, and went by this call sign.[5]

Arvel Crynyd served as Green Leader in the Alliance Fleet, leading a squadron of RZ-1 A-wing interceptors into combat during the Battle of Endor, but was killed during the battle after his A-wing was fatally hit. However, Crynyd managed to steer his interceptor toward the unshielded bridge of the Executor, destroying it and sending the Dreadnought plummeting into the surface of the second Death Star.[4]

New Republic[]

The New Republic's Green Squadron escorted a convoy led by the GR-75 medium transport Dewback's Burden to Bhuna Sound, where they were ambushed by pirate TIE interceptors. The B-wing starfighter pilot designated Green Leader was destroyed with the rest of the convoy.[10]

Another Green Leader on patrol over Pinnacle Base encountered the flagship Defiance, returning from a reconnaissance mission to the Deep Core in which it had sustained damage to its transponder, preventing the ship from broadcasting its identification codes.[11]

Green Squadron fought in the Battle of Calamari,[3] during which an X-wing pilot flying as Green Leader was killed in action by a TIE/D automated starfighter.[2]

Later, another Green Leader was stationed in the Ottegan system when the troopship Pelagia was destroyed by a missile fired from the Galaxy Gun.[12]

During an attempt to rescue Kir Kanos and Feena D'Asta, an X-wing pilot designated Green Leader caused extensive damage to the palace of Grappa the Hutt on the orders of Commander Mirith Sinn.[13]

Yakown Reth served as Green Leader during the Yuuzhan Vong War.
