HistoryEdit

Sometime prior to the Battle of Endor, the squadron was stationed in the Anoat system and some ships were provided with upgraded laser cannons to destroy asteroids in the system.

When reassigned to the second Death Star, Scythe Squadron TIEs were equipped by Death Star technicians with upgraded SFS P-w702 ion maneuvering jets to improve performance within the tight confines of the second Death Star, and SFS L-s7.2 laser cannons to increase the rate of weapons fire. In addition, the squadron flew a number of training missions within the superstructure of the second Death Star to familiarize the pilots with the confined space of the battlestation.

Major Mianda flew Scythe 1, and handpicked the pilots that flew in the squadron with him, including Lieutenant Hebsly, who flew Scythe 3. The squadron was present and flying in parade formation with the rest of the starfighter squadrons and groups stationed at Endor at the time Palpatine's shuttle arrived bringing the Emperor for his inspection tour.
