Bandit Squadron was a squadron of Z-95 Headhunters that was deployed by the Mon Calamari Star Cruiser Liberty. Bandit Squadron was initially put together for a mission related to the investigation of the TIE Experimental Project. Pilot Ace Azzameen was a member of this squadron. Because of the covert nature of the mission, it was deemed necessary to conceal Alliance involvement, thus starfighters less closely associated with the Rebels were chosen. The Z-95 was considered an appropriate craft. Armed with ion pulse warheads, the Z-95s of Bandit Squadron were able to disable a modified Escort transport in addition to examples of a TIE Warhead and a TIE BigGun.
