Spear Squadron functioned as a starfighter squadron within the Galactic Empire's Imperial Navy, piloting TIE/LN starfighters. These TIEs, flown by pilots adept at coordinated maneuvers, possessed enhanced defensive capabilities, although this came at the cost of reduced targeting efficiency.
The Imperial Power-up Pack add-on for the Star Wars PocketModel TCG's original launch on June 19, 2007 featured a miniature representation of Spear Squadron.
