Rogue Squadron

Rogue Squadron, also referred to as Rogue Group, was a Rebel Alliance starfighter squadron founded by Luke Skywalker during the Galactic Civil War. Officially formed during the Imperial Military assault on the Mako-Ta Space Docks, it went to fight in a number of engagements, including the Battle of Hoth. They took their namesake from Rogue One, the squad led by Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor, who sacrificed themselves to steal the Death Star plans from the Galactic Empire. The squadron flew craft such as the T-47 airspeeders, T-65B X-wing starfighters, and occasionally BTL-A4 Y-wing assault starfighter/bombers when heavy ordnance was required.
