Warblade Squad was a squad of Sith Jetpack Troopers of the Sith Eternal army, the ground-based military branch of the dark side Sith cult known as the Sith Eternal. The squad was active during the First Order-Resistance War until the Battle of Exegol in 35 ABY, which resulted in the entire Sith Eternal being destroyed by the Resistance and people who rose up all over the galaxy to form the Citizens' Fleet. The squad was named after the warblade weapon.

Warblade Squad was an aerial infantry squad in the army of the Sith Eternal, a dark side cult. The squad was based on the cult's[1] throneworld,[3] the Unknown Regions planet Exegol. Warblade Squad was comprised of ten Sith Jetpack Troopers—a variant of the army's main soldier, the Sith trooper.[1]

Like all Sith Jetpack Trooper squads, Warblade Squad's name honored an ancient, highly destructive dark side weapon[4]—the warblade. Consisting of Sith Jetpack Troopers, the squad wore specialized crimson Sith trooper armor and was equipped with F-11ABA heavy blaster cannons and NJP-900 integrated jetpacks.[1]

History

Warblade Squad was active during the war between the First Order and the Resistance[1] that took place between 34 ABY and 35 ABY. In 35 ABY,[5] the Sith Eternal was entirely wiped out when it fought an allied force that was made up of the Resistance and the Citizens' Fleet, a fleet comprised of people who rose up from all over the galaxy, in the Battle of Exegol. During the battle, the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious and all of his forces,[6] including Warblade Squad, were destroyed.[2]

Behind the scenes

Warblade Squad was first mentioned in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary, which was released in 2019 and authored by Pablo Hidalgo.[1]
