A squadron consisting of TIE/ln space superiority starfighters served within the ranks of the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War, its activity commencing after the events of the Duel on Cloud City. This squadron was under the command of Commander Ellian Zahra, operating from the flagship named Tarkin's Will, and was part of the Imperial assault group. The squadron participated in a battle at Rendezvous Point Delta-Three where the assault group established a blockade, successfully trapping the Fourth Division of the Alliance Fleet. As part of the numerous starfighter units involved, the squadron initially engaged Division starships, but their orders shifted to targeting the Millennium Falcon upon its arrival.
Fueled by the revelation that Darth Vader, a Dark Lord of the Sith, was his father, Commander Luke Skywalker who was aboard the Falcon, tapped into the Force to seize control of all the TIE fighters within the squadron. General Leia Organa, also present on the Falcon, then proceeded to destroy all twelve fighters that made up the squadron.
The squadron made its initial appearance in Star Wars canon within the pages of the 2020 comic book Star Wars (2020) 1, penned by Charles Soule. Its designation as a squadron was confirmed in Star Wars (2020) 2.
