"My men earn the right to be called Rogues, Major. I've trained those pilots myself, not to mention a good number of those on non x-wing squadrons, yours included. Your men may have hard-earned reputations, but mine work just as hard keeping up and filling the shoes our name leaves us to fill. You don't have to deal with the expectations. You're lucky that way."

―Commander Kelly Perris to a Valkyrie Squadron pilot

Originally part of Red Squadron, Rogue Flight was formed around the only two survivors of the assault on the Death Star: Wedge Antilles, and Luke Skywalker. They flew under that guise - sometimes separately; sometimes as part of Red Squadron - until the destruction of their sister unit, Renegade Flight, at the Battle of Derra IV. They were expanded into a full Squadron soon after, and fought at the Battle of Hoth.

Rogue Squadron earned a reputation as consisting of the finest X-Wing pilots in the Rebellion, and for completing missions that were too "impossible" for other units. Unfortunately, an encounter with the second Death Star proved their downfall, and the entire roster was lost at the Battle of Endor.

Reformed in the aftermath, Rogue Squadron continues to serve as the lance tip of the Rebellion's starfighter efforts. Over time they became involved in the protection of The Wheel: a convoy of vessels harbouring the survivors of the Jedi Purge. To increase their effectiveness - and to ensure that, even on such an extensive mission, there were still Rogues available to cause trouble for the Imperials - the Squadron eventually increased in size, and is now officially known as Rogue Group.
