==History==
By 1 BBY,In Star Wars: The Rebel Files, the report mentioning the UT-60D U-wing starfighter/support craft's use on Gaulus is set between the defection of Bodhi Rook and the Liberation of Erso, both dated to 1 BBY by Star Wars: Timelines. the Rebel Alliance had been active on Gaulus. Sergeant Ruescott Melshi and Lieutenant Caluan Ematt served together there, becoming friends thereafter. The Alliance eventually had to retreat from Gaulus, with UT-60D U-wing starfighter/support craft used as medical evacuation lifters during the withdrawal.
The U-wing's use on Gaulus was noted in a report made by rebel General Antoc Merrick for the Alliance's Commander-in-Chief Mon Mothma, in which the former proposed the wider use of the support crafts as multi-role starships. Merrick's report was eventually collected by archivist Hendri Underholt, who included it in the compilation of non-electronic documents known as The Rebel Files. When The Rebel Files later fell into the hands of the Resistance—a military group with roots in the AllianceStar Wars: Timelines—in 34 ABY,Star Wars: The Rebel Files establishes that The Rebel Files was buried on the same day as the Battle of Endor, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 4 ABY. As the former also states that The Rebel Files was rediscovered thirty years after the battle, the artifact must have been found in 34 ABY. Resistance officers, including Major Ematt, annotated the documents inside. Ematt saw a report from his old comrade Melshi within and recalled in an annotation that they had served together on Gaulus.
