First appearance: Star Wars X-Wing Rogue Squadron

Defender Wing was a bomber wing of the New Republic Defense Force. Formed in 6 ABY, Defender Wing was composed of three BTL-S3 Y-wing squadrons under the command of General Horton Salm. General Salm trained Champion, Guardian, and Warden Squadrons on Folor alongside the reformed Rogue Squadron, which Salm was charged with overseeing. A rivalry developed between Salm's green pilots and Wedge Antilles's aces after their embarrassing defeat by the Rogues during a training exercise. To add insult to injury, the Rogues arranged for their new squadron crest to be displayed on the Y-wings main display when they were "shot down." This was later made up for when the Rogue Squadron quartermaster, Emtrey, delivered a gross of new flight suits to Defender Wing. Two weeks after the exercise, the wing was made fully operational by Admiral Ackbar. Read more...
