The Beast Riders, warriors who hailed from the jungle wilderness of the planet Onderon, employed flight leaders in direct command of squadrons of Beast Riders, which were known as "wings". During the Beast Wars, they were tasked by Commander Gobee to continue their assault on the defensive battlements of Iziz, the capital city of Onderon. Jedi Master Corran Horn was a flight leader within the ranks of the renowned Rogue Squadron.
