Ghost Squadron was an Strike squadron attached to Wing XI of the ISD Immortal. It operated from 1999 until April 2004, when Wing XI and the Immortal were closed.

History[edit]

Ghost Squadron was opened in 1999 as one of the first squadrons active onboard the ISD Immortal and Wing XI. Its first commander is believed to be Shadow.

Shadow would leave to become the new Wing Commander of Wing XI. Other Ghost Squadron commanders that would rise to the ranks of flag officers of the Immortal include Arso Slyth and RogueWing.

From its commissioning through its closure, Ghost Squadron operated as a Strike squadron, always with a full completement of TIE Advanced.

Upon the Immortal's closure, Ghost Squadron commander Coranel Both was given the option of moving the pilots of Ghost Squadron to any other ship in the TIE Corps Battlegroups and reactivating any deactivated squadron. He selected his old home of Typhoon Squadron, relocating himself and his pilots to his old home onboard Wing X and the Challenge.
