Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.
An early skirmish of the Galactic Civil War occurred over Tatooine in 1 BBY between two T-65 X-wing starfighter pilots of the Rebel Alliance's Red Squadron and three pairs of Imperial TIE/LN starfighter pilots of Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Squadrons.
The engagement was later simulated as a training mission by the Rebel Alliance, intended to teach prospective pilots to work as a team with their wingmates. Agamarian Rebel Keyan Farlander was assigned to the simulation by training officer Wex Dafid prior to Farlander's recruitment into the Alliance flagship Independence Red Squadron.
