[[Valkyrie Squadron]] is a fighter unit currently assigned to the Alliance Cruiser ''[[Valiant]]''.  
+
Originally formed as a [[Z-95 Headhunter]] unit during the early days of [[the Rebel Alliance]], Valkyrie Squadron was one of the progenator units of the hit-and-fade tactics that came to epitomize Rebel activities. They also participated in several major battles, including flying at Ton-Falk and Kashyyyk; and ultimately became one of the first units selected to fly the new [[RZ-1 A-Wing Interceptor]]. During the [[Battle of Endor]], many Valkyries flew as part of Green Squadron.
  
=== History ===
+
Following Endor, the Valkyries returned to their operations to disrupt Imperial trade routes, based aboard the Mon Calamari Cruiser ''[[Valiant]]''. Their area of operations focused on the [[Hydian Way]], and their activities secured numerous small victories for the Alliance, claiming the Carrack Cruiser ''[[Edean]]'' and the ''Strike'' Cruiser ''[[Cryptic Forest]]'' as victims, among others.
  
Valkyrie Squadron has its origins during the very early days of the [[Alliance to Restore the Republic]]. When the Corellian Treaty was signed, marking the beginning of the combined resistance efforts of [[Corellia]], [[Alderaan]] and [[Chandrila]], Valkyrie Squadron was established as a unit of [[Z-95 Headhunter]]s intended to be involved with the hit-and-fade operations that would come to epitomise Rebel tactics.
+
Some time later, the squadron was outfitted with the new [[RZ-2 A-Wing Interceptor]], and assigned with the ''Valiant'' to protect [[The Wheel]] - a convoy of survivors from the Jedi Purge. They were initially joined in the endeavour by [[Rogue Squadron]], and later by numerous other squadrons when the Star Destroyer ''[[Challenger]]'' was assigned to assist. With the bulk of The Wheel's air group assigned to the larger ''Challenger'', Valkyrie Squadron was deployed alone aboard the ''Valiant'', occasionally joined by Rogue Squadron (or other units) as part of scouting and vanguard missions.
  
The unit existed as such for some time, fighting several battles including Ton-Falk and Kashyyyk in the years before the Battle of Yavin. After the destruction of the [[Death Star]], Valkyrie Squadron was selected to become one of the Rebel's small number of A-Wing Squadrons. Valkyrie Squadron returned to its raiding missions, specifically targetting Imperial supply lines in an effort to disrupt operations, and to drain Imperial resources by forcing them to commit more craft to escort operations on their convoys drawing craft away from other areas. This experience served the Squadron well in the aftermath of the [[Battle of Endor]], where the unit was deployed on a similar series of operations.

Eventually assigned aboard the Mon Calamari Cruiser ''[[Valiant]]'', the Valkyries joined the B-Wings of [[Dagger Squadron]] and continued to strike against Imperial trade routes, specifically targetting the region surrounding the Hydian Way. On one such mission they successfully disabled a the Carrack Cruiser ''[[Edean]]'', and commendeered two Action VI Transports from an Imperial patrol escorted by the ''Strike'' Cruiser ''[[Cryptic Forest]]''.

A few months later both Valkyrie and Dagger Squadrons were deployed on a joint operation with [[Rogue Squadron]]. ([http://www.sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?t=18152 Raids, Rogues and Arithmatic])

"I still have my dignity ... It's because I know that my squadron earned its reputation, rather than just inheriting it from a bunch of real heroes."
―Major Leela Vorega, to a Rogue Squadron pilot

Originally formed as a Z-95 Headhunter unit during the early days of the Rebel Alliance, Valkyrie Squadron was one of the progenator units of the hit-and-fade tactics that came to epitomize Rebel activities. They also participated in several major battles, including flying at Ton-Falk and Kashyyyk; and ultimately became one of the first units selected to fly the new RZ-1 A-Wing Interceptor. During the Battle of Endor, many Valkyries flew as part of Green Squadron.

Following Endor, the Valkyries returned to their operations to disrupt Imperial trade routes, based aboard the Mon Calamari Cruiser Valiant. Their area of operations focused on the Hydian Way, and their activities secured numerous small victories for the Alliance, claiming the Carrack Cruiser Edean and the Strike Cruiser Cryptic Forest as victims, among others.

Some time later, the squadron was outfitted with the new RZ-2 A-Wing Interceptor, and assigned with the Valiant to protect The Wheel - a convoy of survivors from the Jedi Purge. They were initially joined in the endeavour by Rogue Squadron, and later by numerous other squadrons when the Star Destroyer Challenger was assigned to assist. With the bulk of The Wheel's air group assigned to the larger Challenger, Valkyrie Squadron was deployed alone aboard the Valiant, occasionally joined by Rogue Squadron (or other units) as part of scouting and vanguard missions.
