Blue Squadron was a squadron of clone starfighter pilots under the command of some Jedi. They were deployed to fight a few battles during the Clone Wars against the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

History[]

Around 21 BBY, Blue Squadron fought in the Battle of Muunlinst under Anakin Skywalker. They were doing well and destroyed many InterGalactic Banking Clan gun platforms until Dark Acolyte Asajj Ventress destroyed them all. It was reformed later on because they fought in the Battle of Rendili.

In the Battle of Ryloth, Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano was established as the new leader of Blue Squadron. They were fighting against Captain Mar Tuuk so they could deploy their ground forces and take over Wat Tambor. They left the Resolute, determined to defeat their opponent. While battling, more Separatist cruised joined the battle, and Ahsoka and her men were ordered to fall. The clones had to obey their commanding officer, who was Padawan Tano at the time, and she ordered them to continue the fighting. They obeyed, knowing they might live long. Most of them died, so Ahsoka and the remaining troopers returned to the Venator-class star destroyer Resolute, flagship of Anakin Skywalker. When she got back, her commanding officers were not happy for losing almost all of Blue Squadron.

Blue Squadron was also deployed at the Battle of Ukio, led by Keelyvine Reus. The CIS had developed a weapon that surrounded the planet and caused an eclipse, letting no sunlight enter. Because of that, none of the crops on the planet could grow. The only way to enter the atmosphere was to open part of it, and the troopers in Blue Squadron were shipped there to prevent the Separatists from taking full control of the shield and attacking the planet's inhabitants.

Equipment[]

At the beginning of the Clone Wars, Blue Squadron was deployed with V-19 Torrent starfighters. When Anakin Skywalker had the BTL-B Y-wing starfighters ready, they took those too and gave up their Torrents. In 19 BBY, the Republic had created a new ship called the Advanced ReConnaissance-170 starfighter, also known as the ARC-170, which Blue Squadron also switched to.
