Bantha Squad, active circa 0.5 ABY at the Academy of Carida, was a squadron dedicated to the education of TIE/LN starfighter pilot cadets in training. In the Tarkin's Teeth region, while on a training exercise, Cadet Shira Brie was responsible for the deaths of six Bantha Squad members, utilizing her Mountain Terrain Scout Transport; surprisingly, those who lived showed no signs of distress.
