Yellow Squadron (Rebel Alliance)

"&hellip;Lost Gemma, lost Snar, lost Reet, half of Yellow Group&hellip;"

- A Rebel pilot lists casualties after the Battle of Vrogras Vas

Yellow Squadron, also referred to as Yellow Group, was a Rebel Alliance starfighter squadron that participated in the Battle of Yavin and was later stationed over the planet Vrogas Vas during the Galactic Civil War.

History
During the Battle of Yavin, Yellow Squadron briefly covered Gold Squadron.

Yellow Squadron, along with most of Blue Squadron, was completely destroyed by Darth Vader during the Battle of Vrogas Vas.

Behind the scenes
The Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope novelization mentions a Yellow Squadron covering the squadron that would become the film's Gold Squadron. Since only the novelization mentions Yellow and every other squadron's name changed from novel to film, it's uncertain that the extra squadron was named Yellow. Tbis article treats this as if it were the case.
