1st Imperial Center Core Defense Squadron, better known as Skull Squadron, was an elite Predator-class fighter squadron in the Sith Imperial Navy.

[edit] History

At some point prior to the removal of Roan Fel from the Imperial throne, Skull Squadron was commanded by Rulf Yage, who eventually became Grand Admiral and the head of the Imperial Navy.

During the last days of the Sith-Imperial War Skull Squadron was assigned to protecting the convoy that brough Roan Fel and his imposter to claim the recently captured Coruscant.[1]

During the Second Imperial Civil War, Skull Squadron remained loyal to the usurper Emperor Darth Krayt, and was permanently stationed at Skull Squadron Hangar on Coruscant, under the direct command of Moff Rulf Yage. It was at this time led by Captain Gunn Yage, daughter of Rulf Yage and Moff Nyna Calixte, while other pilots in the unit included Jae Akura, Brodie Coburn, and Tev Rimon.

Skull Squadron pursued the Mynock, but lost it in the lower levels of Coruscant. They later confronted it at the Temple of the Sith but were forced to pull back under orders of High Moff Morlish Veed.

[edit] Behind the scenes

Skull Squadron is the name of the lead fighter squadron in the anime series Macross, which was adapted into English as part of Robotech. In turn, this was inspired by the United States Naval Squadron VFA-103 (originally VF-84) "Jolly Rogers."
