Xantho Squadron

Xantho Squadron was a starfighter squadron that was active some time before 35 ABY.Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary states that Xantho Squadron existed at some point before the events of Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker. The reference book dates the events of the film to one year after the Hosnian Cataclysm, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 34 ABY. As such, the events of The Rise of Skywalker must take place in 35 ABY, and Xantho Squadron must have been active at some point prior to that year. The squadron utilized T-70 X-wing starfighters, at least one of which was later used by the Resistance. The X-wing retained its yellow markings that once denoted its service in Xantho Squadron.
