Where does the Invincible come from? And as far as I know, the Adjudicator took part at the Battle of Endor, but was never said to be a part of Death Squadron. As for the Accuser, it is a part of Death Squadron. Piett transferred his flag to the Accuser temporarily when Vader took the Executor back to Coruscant following his battle with Luke at Bespin.

Can someone help post sources that prove each ship's membership in Death Squadron? Most sources claim that there are only 5 ISDs, but right now this article claims that there are 9.

Avenger — The Empire Strikes Back
Devastator — Star Wars Sourcebook (WEG)
Tyrant — The Empire Strikes Back; named in Star Wars Customizable Card Game
Vengeance II — Star Wars Customizable Card Game; The Dark Forces Saga, Part 6
Stalker — Star Wars Customizable Card Game

Those are the only ones that I can confirm myself, and they already add up to 5. According to the SWTC, the Accuser is in Death Squadron, and was used as the temporary flagship when Vader took Executor back to Coruscant following TESB. I trust Saxton, but I'd still like to know where he got that from. I've heard from someone at SD.net that the Conquest was mentioned in the Star Wars Encyclopedia, but again, I'd like that confirmed as well. As for the Adjudicator and Thunderflare, I've never, ever heard of them being in Death Squadron before. JimRaynor55 17:29, 27 Nov 2005 (UTC)

I suspect the numbers are inferred from combining the number of "ISD I" and "ISD II" models seen on screen with the number of ISD IIs stated. I have a vague idea that Conquest may be the SD that gets whapped by the asteroid in ESB. Going by the Unofficial Encyclopedia entry, Accuser may be from the Movie Trilogy Sourcebook or Truce at Bakura Sourcebook, probably relating to her supposed presence at Tatooine under Vader's command between ESB and RotJ. Thunderflare is, I believe, identified in ItW as the ISD at the start of RotJ (is there any more of this sort of thing in that book?). The key question is whether the strength of five ships is ever stated in canon (beyond the "five" ISDs escorting Ex in the ESB script). Death Squadron's composition obviously isn't static over time, though... --McEwok 17:56, 27 Nov 2005 (UTC)

The five ISDs number is seen in Galxy Guide 3: Empire Strikes Back, in the section about Death Squadron.
