Cobalt Squadron was a MG-100 StarFortress SF-17s unit within the Resistance.
History
Edit
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 completely wiped out during a bombing run against a Mandator IV-class Siege Dreadnought, though they managed to accomplish their objective of destroying the ship.
Behind the scenes
Edit
Cobalt Squadron is mentioned in non-narrative Star Wars canon sources, before it was expanded upon in a Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi tie-in book.
