About: Silly Squadron   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Silly Squadron never truly existed in the Rebel Alliance duty rosters; the name was first dreamed up by Garik "Face" Loran during the competition to give "Gray Squadron" (later Wraith Squadron) a name. He was apparently faint with hunger at the time, as another of his suggestions was "Dinner Squadron". Kell Tainer borrowed the name to describe a tactic used at the Battle of Folor to distract the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Implacable from reaching Folor Base and thus discovering the transport Borleias, which was unable to take off until it had made engine repairs.
