HistoryEdit

Cobalt Squadron was a unit within the Resistance. Ello Asty was a pilot in the squadron before joining Blue Squadron.^[3] Asty wore the unit's insignia on his helmet.^[5]

By the time of the Evacuation of D'Qar, the squadron consisted of MG-100 StarFortress SF-17s.^[2] During that battle, the squadron was wiped out except for Fossil and Rose during a bombing run against a Mandator IV-class Siege Dreadnought, though they accomplished their objective of destroying the ship.
