Obsidian Squadron

Obsidian Squadron was an elite TIE/LN starfighter squadron in the Imperial Navy during the Galactic Civil War. Stationed aboard the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer Avenger, the squadron was led by Civé Rashon, and was composed of modified TIE/LN starfighters mostly used to pursue raiders through planets' upper atmospheres.

In 3 ABY, Obsidian Squadron was present on the planet Bespin during its occupation by the Galactic Empire. The squadron's TIE pilots pursued the YT-1300 light freighter Millennium Falcon during the freighter's escape from the planet into space, although ultimately Obsidian Squadron was unable to capture the Millennium Falcon. Obsidian Squadron would later participate in 4 ABY's Battle of Endor, which ended in an Imperial defeat and the Alliance to Restore the Republic destroying the Empire's Death Star II battle station.
