Hunter Squadron functioned as a starfighter squadron that utilized BTL-B Y-wing starfighters. They fought for the Galactic Republic throughout the Clone Wars.
To circumvent the blockade, Hunter Squadron executed a daring and precise hyperspace jump, positioning themselves to bombard the shipyards. While the first assault, using proton bombs, managed to obliterate a number of frigates, Master Plo Koon understood that the remaining enemy forces were too numerous to be defeated with their limited ordnance. Consequently, he redirected the squadron's focus, instructing them to target the shipyard's structural integrity, aiming for its collapse. These subsequent attacks achieved their objective.
