| Star Wars: Blade Squadron / int_5deb34da | comment |
Ace Pilot: On the Rebel's side, Wing Commander Adon Fox (himself an excellent pilot) notes that Gina Moonsong is one of the best pilots he has ever seen, and may even be nearly as skilled as Wedge Antilles. Now if only he could get her to work with the rest of the squadron as a team. Lieutenant Braylen Stramm is also noted to be an expert pilot. For the Imperials, Commander Gradd is said to be almost as good as Darth Vader, and he shoots down several members of Blade Squadron before engaging in a starfighter duel with Fox. He badly damages Fox's A-Wing, but gets outmaneuvered and shot down. | |

Attack Its Weak Point | |
| Star Wars: Blade Squadron / int_82108e3d | comment |
Attack Its Weak Point: What B-wing bombing runs are designed to do: attack a weak point on a Star Destroyer and cause a chain reaction that will destroy the vessel. They just have to get past all the starfighters defending the ship, plus the turbolaser bombardments. Blade Squadron succeeds in destroying the Devastaor by hitting the weakest point of the shielding over the hyperdrive, which overloads it and sets off a chain reaction that destroys the ship. Of course, only four fighters from the squadron survive the attack. | |
