Silly Squadron

Legends Linked from 1 article

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Silly Squadron never truly existed in the Rebel Alliance duty rosters; the name was first dreamed up by Garik "Face" Loran during the competition to give "Gray Squadron" (later Wraith Squadron) a name. He was apparently faint with hunger at the time, as another of his suggestions was "Dinner Squadron." Kell Tainer borrowed the name to describe a tactic used at the Battle of Folor to distract the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Implacable from reaching Folor Base and thus discovering the transport Borleias, which was unable to take off until it had made engine repairs.
