Squadron Three was one of six squadrons that formed the 204th Imperial Fighter Wing, a fighter wing of the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War.

Description

Squadron Three[1] was a TIE fighter[3] squadron that was part six squadrons in the Galactic Empire's 204th Imperial Fighter Wing.[1] The squadron was led by Captain Wisp,[2] and one of its staff officers was Lieutenant Garmen Naadra.[1] Other members included Duchas Cherroi and Gargovik.[2]

History

Pandem Nai

In 4 ABY,[4] Wisp lost almost all of the squadron during the New Republic's attack on Pandem Nai.[1]

Cerberon

Around 5 ABY,[5] the squadron participated in an attack on Cerberon. After the attack, the squadron were tasked with searching for the New Republic remnant, and one its pilots, Lieutenant Garmen Naadra, was killed in the caverns beneath Troithe. Naadra was the first pilot lost since the battle against the Lodestar.[1]

Hyperspace upgrades

Sometime after leaving Cerberon, before the smirmish in the Ciaox Verith system, the squadron's ships were retrofitted with hyperspace docking rings they'd found in a Clone Wars-era supply cache. This lightspeed capability allowed the squadron's TIEs to carry out rearguard patrol operations in remote systems away from its headquarters on the Yadeez.[2]

Chadawa and Jakku

Later that year,[6] the squadron fought in a battle at Chadawa, and then later at the Battle of Jakku, where the 204th were defeated by General Hera Syndulla's New Republic forces.[2]

  4. ↑ Alphabet Squadron establishes that the attack on Pandem Nai takes place several weeks after Yrica Quell leaves Traitor's Remorse, where she had been held for one month, following her defection during the destruction of Nacronis two weeks after the Battle of Endor, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 4 ABY. The attack on Pandem Nai must therefore have occurred in 4 ABY.
  5. ↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of Shadow Fall: An Alphabet Squadron Novel to 5 ABY.
  6. ↑ The events of Victory's Price: An Alphabet Squadron Novel begin after the Cerberon system campaign, and the novel also features the Battle of Jakku at the end of its three main sections. Since Star Wars: Timelines dates both of those conflicts to 5 ABY, the main events of Victory's Price must therefore be set in that year.
