swphreak Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Squadron is 12 Fighters Flight is (I can't remember) Wing is 6 Squadrons; 72 Fighters. I got those from memory from reading the Essiential Guides to Ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Flight I think is the lowest unit, consisting of about 4 fighters. (pretty sure of this, but don't quote me on it. ) Squadron is the next unit, and comprises of 3 flights, 12 fighters. A Wing consist of 6 squadrons, totaling to 72 fighters. A standard Imperial Star Destroyer carries a full wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master_Keralys Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 As has been said: read the X-Wing series. However, this designation for squadron is only standard and official, not necessarily how it always works. For much of the New Jedi Order, squads were smaller than this simply because there weren't enough pilots. Likewise, wings varied in size, also b/c some groups referred to as wings didn't follow the NR/GFFA standard designations... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinkie Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 In the early Rogue Squadron comics, they usually had around eight pilots due to the difficulty of finding experienced pilots, plus all the deaths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
