==Description==

==History==
===Massacre near Teralov===
During the Galactic Civil War against the Galactic Empire, Green Squadron A-wings were tasked with escorting a convoy of rebel starships, to provide supplies to the people of Teralov when they were attacked by a squadron of TIE interceptors. On this occasion, all rebel ships were destroyed by the Imperial forces.
===Battle of Atollon===
After Grand Admiral Technor discovered the location of the rebel base on Atollon, Green Squadron Y-wings were used to assault the Imperial ships that had entered the Atollon system. During the battle, one member of Green Squadron was killed and the rest fled to hyperspace with the remaining fleet to Yavin 4.
===Battle of Scarif===
During the Battle of Scarif, Green Squadron X-wings flew alongside Blue, Gold, and Red Squadrons. They helped engage Imperial ships above the planetary shield and defend the Alliance fleet, in order to buy time for Jyn Erso and the Rogue One team to steal plans for the Galactic Empire's new top secret battle station, the Death Star. Although the Alliance suffered heavy losses, including all Rogue One members, and commanders of both Alliance Starfighter Command and the Alliance Fleet, General Merrick and Admiral Raddus, respectively, it was considered a major Rebel victory as the Tantive IV managed to escape with the stolen plans. Prior to the battle, Wion Dillems, normally stationed on the Profundity, replaced Puck Naeco as Green Twelve after Naeco broke an ankle in a rough landing.

===Battle of Yavin===
This squadron provided cover for Blue Squadron during the Battle of Yavin.The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia Their main goal had been to join Blue Squadron in an attack run on the station's superlaser, and also hopefully distract the Empire from the exhaust port attack.The Essential Guide to Warfare
===Battle of Hoth===
During the Battle of Hoth, members from the Rebellion's Green and Blue Squadrons and Rogue Flight were cobbled together and pressed into service as a unified "Rogue Squadron," doubling up as pilots and gunners aboard the Rebels' T-47 airspeeders. The remaining Blues and Greens either piloted evacuating transports or their fighter escorts during the battle.Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance

===Battle of Endor===
During the Battle of Endor, Green Group was led by Commander Arvel Crynyd and was entirely composed of A-wing starfighters. On arrival from hyperspace, Gold Leader determined that the Death Star's shield was still up and ordered all ships to pull up. Admiral Ackbar ordered all ships to take evasive action and for Green Group to stick close to sector MV-7. Upon turning away from the battle station, the Imperial fleet had appeared from behind Endor's forest moon and prevented the Rebels from escaping. As the Death Star's superlaser started firing upon the Mon Calamari Star Cruisers, the battle moved to the Imperial fleet. Green Leader Crynyd ordered Green Group to mix it up with the TIEs to thin out the enemy starfighter screen and take some of the pressure off the B-wing bombers. As the battle dragged on, Green Group lost more than two-thirds of its A-wing complement. Outnumbered but vowing to make a difference, Crynyd directed Green Group's survivors to execute fast-and-close strafing runs across Star Destroyer superstructures, knocking out turbolaser batteries with their concussion missiles and laser cannons.Star Wars: On the Front Lines During the attack on the Super Star Destroyer Executor, Green Six (Kokely) was destroyed by one of the many TIE fighters defending the flagship.
After the deactivation of the shield generator on the forest moon below, Green Four (Molly Wei), Jake Farrell and Kenny Bear, were tasked to screen Gold Leader's attack run on the surface of the Death Star.
Crynyd, still attacking the Executor, took a mortal hit to his A-Wing while passing over the bow of the ship. With systems failing, he forced his stricken starfighter into ship's bridge, killing the bridge crew and the Imperial fleet's commander, Admiral Kriszta. The Executor then crashed into the surface of the Death Star, causing a huge explosion and became the turning point for the Rebels. Following Crynyd's sacrifice, command of Green Group fell to Lieutenant L'ulo L'ampar.
As the Imperial fleet started their retreat, Home One sent orders for Green Group and Yellow Group to watch for starships evacuating the battle station. One such craft was a Lambda-class shuttle, flown by Commander Mickey Mouse and accompanied by his late ringbearer, Frodo Baggins. Molly Wei intercepted the shuttle almost immediately, but Mickey identified himself as a friendly as the Earth Team pilot was preparing to lock on to the Imperial ship. Shortly after, the Death Star exploded after Red Leader and Gold Leader successfully hit their target, making it a major victory for the Rebel Alliance.

===Battle of Cawa City===
Seventeen days after the Battle of Endor, Green Group, now under the command of Lieutenant L'ulo L'ampar, notably took part in a battle for the Rebel Alliance, to liberate Cawa City on Sterdic IV from the Galactic Empire. Their job was to clear out enemy TIE fighters, so Feral Group's Y-wings could make their bombing run on an All Terrain Armored Transport using magnetising cluster bombs, which could magnetize to the armoured hull. Whizzing Arrow II was hit by a persuing TIE fighter, which caused a coolant leak, but L'ampar destroyed the TIE before it could do any further damage. While the battle was another major victory for the Alliance, it resulted in heavy losses for both starfighter squadrons by the end of the confrontation.

L'ulo L'ampar was eventually promoted to Captain.Shattered Empire 4
