Saber Squadron was an elite TIE Interceptor unit and one of the squadrons of the 181st Imperial Fighter Group stationed aboard the second Death Star. During the Battle of Endor, Saber Squadron was assigned to defend the Star Destroyer Avenger, a task that they carried out admirably in spite of the Galactic Empire's loss at that battle. The famous Imperial pilot Soontir Fel, perhaps second only to Darth Vader, led the squadron personally.
