StealthX wing The StealthX wing was a starfighter force formed by the New Jedi Order , during the Second Galactic Civil War in 40 ABY . It consisted entirely of Jedi pilots , flying almost - undetectable StealthX fighters . Operational History . The origins of the wing lay in a request from Jacen Solo . Determined to preserve the unity of the galactic government against the forces of fragmentation represented by the Confederation , he had seized control of the Galactic Alliance , and secretly defected to the Sith , taking the title of Darth Caedus . Now , anticipating that a key battle would be fought at Balmorra against the Confederation fleets advancing into the Core Worlds , Jacen asked the Jedi to assign some of their StealthX fighters to the Fourth Fleet for the campaign . Although the Jedi Council initially refused the request , Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker saw an opportunity to turn the tables on Jacen , and organized the StealthX wing in secret . The new Jedi fighting force revealed itself in a dramatic intervention at Balmorra , launching an unexpected and devastating attack on the Commenorian fleet , the most powerful of the Confederation battlegroups involved in the confrontation . This intervention proved decisive in shaping the outcome of the battle . Somewhat reluctantly , the Jedi agreed to base themselves aboard Jacen ' s command ship , the Star Destroyer " Anakin Solo " . . When the focus of the war shifted to Kuat , they were expected to play a decisive role in the Alliance plan for victory . However , when news came that Ben Skywalker had been involved in the assassination of deposed Chief of State Cal Omas , the Jedi withdrew from the Alliance , blaming Jacen for the action . Flying to Kashyyyk , they declared their intention to oppose his government , a move that was instrumental in persuading the Wookiee homeworld to join the Jedi Coalition later on . The StealthX wing now based themselves in Military Hangar 15 in Rwookrrorro , presumably as formal allies of the Wookiee military , with the support of local ground - crews . Flying from here , they took part in the Battle of Kashyyyk , launching an all - out strike against the attacking Galactic Alliance Fifth Fleet , while Master Skywalker flew in a shadow bomb attack on the " Anakin Solo " . The attack was met with mixed success . The Night Blades squadron lost three pilots to effective flak defense in their attack on the " Victory " - class Star Destroyer " Vulnerator " , for little obvious gain , but although the attack on the " Anakin Solo " appeared to end with the loss of Master Skywalker and his fighter , it had in fact been a feint , designed to allow Luke and R2 - D2 to infiltrate the Alliance flagship . After the Confederation retreat from Kashyyyk , the wing relocated to a base on Endor , where the fighters were scattered in wing - pairs through the forest around the new Jedi base . One pilot , Tahiri Veila , had committed herself to serving the Alliance , and Caedus dispatched her with her fighter in an unsuccessful attempt to locate the hidden base of the newly formed Jedi Coalition . Subsequently , Grand Master Skywalker led a small flight of fighters to attack Darth Caedus during a truce meeting with Corellian forces . Their plan was to stage a sneak attack on the Sith Lord ' s Star Destroyer , after which Skywalker and Kyp Durron would board the ship and confront him . Finding Caedus airborne in his TIE Reconnaissance Fighter , they staged a successful ambush , but Skywalker ' s realization that Caedus had his daughter Allana with him forced him to break off the attack at the last minute . The StealthX wing later saw action during the Battle of Uroro Station . Luke Skywalker led the wing on two separate raids on the " Anakin Solo " . The first raid was a failed attempt to board the ship and rescue Prince Isolder who had been captured earlier by Darth Caedus . After taking losing a considerable amount of fighters Grand Master Skywalker was forced to call off the attack . After Jaina Solo killed Darth Caedus another assault was launched . With the Sith Lord dead , Darth Caedus ' s Sith Battle meditation was no longer a threat to the Jedi pilots . The Jedi boarded the " Anakin Solo " , fought through Galactic Alliance and Imperial troopers , and then negotiated a temporary partnership between the Imperial Remnant and Jedi Coalition . This forced the Confederation to surrender which ended the Second Galactic Civil War . Organization . The wing included every Jedi StealthX that was combat - ready : the total number of ships available was between seventy and eighty starfighters , and it appears that the actual combat strength came close to that figure at the start of the wing ' s deployment . The force was divided into six squadrons , each containing about a dozen fighters . Each known squadron leader was a Jedi Master , and each known squadron name was based on combining the name of a bladed weapon and an adjective indicating dark color . These names implicitly combined the image of the Jedi lightsaber and the stealth - attack role of the fighters that the pilots flew . Thus , Kyp Durron led Shadow Saber squadron , Saba Sebatyne led the Night Blades , and Kenth Hamner commanded Dark Sword squadron . The other squadrons were presumably organized along similar lines : although their designations and commanders are not known , the role of Corran Horn in the discussion prior to the Battle of Kuat hints that he may have been another squadron leader . The exact position of Master Skywalker within the organization is not clear . He acted as overall commander in the briefing at Kuat , but he flew a solo mission at Kashyyyk , independent of any squadron unit . His fighter briefly flew with the Night Blades , but this need not indicate any permanent affiliation with that unit . The wing took combat losses at Kashyyyk — the Night Blades lost three of their pilots , and Jaina Solo feared that the figures could have been as high throughout the wing , comprising around twenty - five percent of total combat strength . During the later attempt to assassinate Darth Caedus , a unit designated Red Sword Flight was formed , led in person by Grand Master Skywalker , and consisting of six heavily - loaded fighters , crewed by three senior Jedi Masters , each with a knight as his wing - mate . . For this mission , one fighter , flown by the Rodian knight Twool , carried enhanced sensors : replacing some of the weapons mounted by the others , these arrays were intended to provide a pinpoint location of the Sith Lord .
