Green Squadron was a New Republic starfighter squadron, alternatively referred to as Green Squad or Green Team. This squadron took part in the Battle of Ession, at which point it was a bomber formation of BTL Y-wing starfighter pilots. Later on, Green Squadron participated in the Battle of Calamari as a diverse unit, piloting Y-wings, T-65 X-wing starfighters, and A/SF-01 B-wing starfighters.
After the New Republic was established, the starfighters of Green Squadron escorted a convoy, with the GR-75 medium transport Dewback's Burden leading the way, to Bhuna Sound. They were then ambushed by pirate TIE interceptors. The "Green Leader", a B-wing starfighter pilot, was killed alongside the rest of the convoy.
During the selection process for what would eventually become Wraith Squadron, candidates like Kell Tainer and Hohass Ekwesh utilized the Green Squadron designation in simulated combat exercises.
The active Green Squadron, a Y-wing bomber [squadron](/article/squadron-legends], was dispatched from Borleias by General Horton Salm to engage in an ambush against the Warlord Zsinj's Imperial-class Star Destroyer named Implacable above Ession. Together with Rogue and Blue Squadrons, Green Squadron infiltrated the system's defenses aboard the Super Transport VI Red Feathers, launching from the deteriorating container ship as it succumbed to the planet's gravitational pull.
After the fall of Coruscant in 10 ABY, the squadron's commanding officer and a rookie wingmate carried out a patrol mission in the Cyax system near the New Republic's Pinnacle Base, where they detected an unidentified vessel. As "Green Leader" and "Green Three" moved to intercept, Admiral Ackbar, the commander of the vessel and a member of the New Republic, identified it as the flagship Defiance. He explained that his ship's transponder was damaged during a reconnaissance mission to the Galactic Core after an encounter with an Imperial convoy. At Ackbar's request, "Green Leader" transmitted his message to Republic leader Mon Mothma.
Working in conjunction with Blue Squadron once more, Green Squadron was ordered by Ackbar to provide cover for the evacuation of Calamari. Now a mixed composition of B-wing, Y-wing, and X-wing pilots, Green Squadron launched from the New Republic Star Destroyer Emancipator and engaged the Imperial World Devastators attacking the planet, losing their squadron's commander to a TIE/D automated starfighter in the resulting confrontation.
Later, during the reign of the reborn Emperor Palpatine, a Green Squadron of X-wing starfighters, again under the command of a pilot designated "Green Leader", was in the process of boarding the troopship Pelagia when a projectile launched from the Emperor's Galaxy Gun superweapon was detected. Green Squadron deployed to intercept the missile, but they were unable to breach its shielding, resulting in their destroyed along with the Pelagia.
During the Battle of Coruscant and Battle of Borleias in the Yuuzhan Vong War, the squadron was equipped with E-wings and served under Captain Yakown Reth. Reth and other squadron members were later reorganized into Blackmoon Squadron.
At the start of the Battle of Coruscant, Green Squadron was assigned to protect the Pride of Honor, a New Republic capital ship. However, a senator intervened and ordered the squadron to safeguard his personal vessel instead, which led to significant damage to the Pride of Honor. The Pride of Honor was decommissioned after the battle due to the extent of the damage it sustained.
