Shepherd Squadron was a fighter wing of the New Republic, operating from their base on Rattatak. This squadron took part in both the assault against the Fondor Shipyards and the Battle over Jakku.
During the Battle of Fondor Shipyards, Shepherd Squadron engaged in combat with the objective of eliminating the Spectral, an Interdictor-class heavy cruiser. The Spectral was shielding escaping Star Destroyers. In the face of deployed TIE fighters, the squadron's mission ended in failure when Yancee Drai was killed when her X-wing was destroyed. Additionally, Bak Rychuk vanished into hyperspace aboard ship.
Later, during the Battle of Jakku, Shepherd Squadron joined the rest of the New Republic fleet. The squadron was composed of A-wings, X-wings, and Y-wings.
