Firebird Squadron is an Infiltration squadron assigned to Wing X on the Imperial-II Class Star Destroyer Challenge. On October 7, 2014, Firebird Squadron became the fourth squadron activated in Wing X, having formerly been stationed aboard the MC90 Warspite.


History

Firebird Squadron were founded as a reconnaissance unit for the old Infiltrator Wing. Originally equipped with A-Wings, Firebird were a reliable but unremarkable squadron when it came to performing their duties and scouting ahead of Battlegroup XVI. Never covering themselves with glory thanks to their role, they were often overshadowed by more famous Infiltrator Wing squadrons such as Shadow or Knight, so it was a surprise when they were selected to accompany Grand Admiral Rapier's expedition into the Unknown Regions.

Firebird Squadron X-Wing

Re-equipped with upgraded T-65 X-Wings and BTL-A4 Y-Wings, the squadron was placed under the command of Colonel Stryker, a veteran of Red Squadron aboard the MC80B Redemption. Their mission would be twofold: traditional Infiltrator Wing false flag operations against the New Republic, its allies, and other enemies of the Emperor's Hammer; but also to act as an aggressor squadron for training purposes to give new pilots a chance to fly against the ships they would be facing outside of the simulator.

To facilitate this, Stryker ordered the Firebird Squadron craft painted in a bright orange and grey paint scheme, imitating General Hera Syndulla's famous "Starbird Squadron" of the early New Republic, now known as the New Republic Precision Air Team. This, he believed, would lend credence to their continued use of older craft and allow them access to areas of the New Republic that line squadrons might not necessarily have clearance to enter.
