Blue Squadron (Jedi Order)

The pilots assigned to Blue Squadron primarily utilized A-6 interceptors along with Delta-7 Aethersprite-class light interceptors.

History

Jedi Aces

In the year 44 BBY, Blue Squadron of the Galactic Republic participated in the Stark Hyperspace War, engaging in battle under the leadership of Jedi Master Saesee Tiin alongside Red Squadron. During this period, the squadron was composed of Jedi pilots flying A-6 Interceptors.

During the Battle of Kamino in 22 BBY, which occurred early in the Clone Wars before specialized clone trooper starfighters were developed, the Jedi members of Blue Squadron piloted Delta-7 Aethersprite-class light interceptor under the command of Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi, using the call sign . Their mission was to defend Tipoca City from any Trade Federation C-9979 landing craft that managed to bypass Red Squadron's initial defenses. General Kenobi was shot down into the ocean by a droid starfighter, but he was rescued from both enemy fighters and local predators thanks to the intervention of his padawan Anakin Skywalker and the Kaminoan cloner Taun We. With their starfighters damaged, the two Jedi returned to Tipoca City to continue fighting the invading forces on the ground.

Grand Army of the Republic

As the Clone Wars progressed, clone trooper pilots were integrated into Blue Squadron, flying V-19 Torrent starfighters, although Jedi pilots occasionally assumed command of the unit.
