Blade Squadron

Blade Squadron is an elite X-Wing starfighter squadron that worked under the Galactic Alliance before and after the battle of Byss. The squadron was reformed two years after Byss with ten new members that fought towards securing Coruscant for the Alliance with the help of the Alliance fleet. For the next several years, Blade Squadron fought against Captain Kriell and Ranna Thorin's fleet and secret projects that threatened the entire existence of the Galactic Alliance.

Creating the Squadron
When the Dark Empire made a resurgence, Ben Hunter started Blade Squadron as a simple X-Wing squadron that fought first at the 2nd battle of Coruscant. His squadron suffered the least casualties during the fight due to the great pilots in his squadron. During the next several battles in the war, Blade Squadron remained the most skilled and consistent in their performance, which frightened the Dark Empire's pilots as well as outlying Imperial worlds that were primary targets for Blade Squadron to attack.

After the battle of Byss, Blade Squadron suffered major casualties, leaving only Ben and Alana Jaxx left alive. The squadron was disbanded by the Alliance council because of their fear factor and the many deaths from the squadron.

The New Blade Squadron
Two years later, Ben and Alana were able to convince the council to reform their squadron after volunteering themselves and creating a battle plan to attack Coruscant. Ten new members were added to squadron that included Jacen Passik, Rose Thane, Andres Palacios, Lisa Jaxx, Dolara Laa, Seb Kallos, Joshua Claveria, Nils Thorn, Jack Baric, and Dax Callipso. Once the squadron had finished their brief training on Commenor, they moved on to attack the Permilian Trade Route with the help of a small Alliance fleet made up of dozens of Mon Calamari cruisers. The Alliance attacked Kattada, Brentaal, Chandrila, then Anaxes; losing Jack, Seb, and Joshua in the fights. Once those worlds were taken by the Alliance, Blade Squadron played a massive role in liberating Coruscant by providing aerial support for ground troops on the surface while the fleet attacked in orbit. Coruscant would then be liberated after a lengthy battle, and Blade Squadron had become renown within the Galactic Alliance.
