Call of Freedom squadron, nicknamed the Warpigs, is a bomber squadron flying the BTL-A4 Y-Wing under the command of Captain Aren Finn. They are currently a part of the Tythonian Space Militia stationed on the Nebula-class Star Destroyer Fey’lya’s Last Stand.

Formation

The Warpigs in combat

Formed in 36 ABY under the command of Kris Vander the Warpigs were assigned to the NSD Fey’lya’s Last Stand as its bomber squadron. Over the years the squadron has seen a greater pilot turnover than any other squadron in the K.U.D.F as there antiquated Y-Wings took vast amounts of punishment resulting in a large number of pilot deaths. The squadron is comprised of 12 pilots, their respective astromech droids and a compliment of six Mon Calamari support personnel and are currently led by Captain Aren Finn.

Equipment

The BTL-A4 Y-Wing

The Warpigs fly BTL-A4 Y-Wings with each shipped crewed by a single pilot and an astromech droid. Each 16 meter long ship is armed with two Taim & Bak IX4 or KX5 laser cannons along with two Arakyd Industries Flex Tube proton torpedo launchers each with a magazine of four torpedoes. The Y-wing can also carry 20 proton bombs. The wedge-shaped cockpit and Guidenhauser ejection system was placed on the front of the craft, with the central spar containing the Novaldex power generator extending behind it. Thiodyne 03-R cryogenic power cells and ionization reactor supplemented the Novaldex generator. Two 2 Koensayr R200 ion jet engines, rated at 250 KTU and capable of 70 MGLT were attached to either side of the spar.

The A4 variant boasted much greater endurance over its earlier predecessors, but was penalized with less powerful deflector shields and loss of accuracy in the ion cannons. The loss of shield power provided a boost in engine power, but the combination proved insufficient and the A4 variant developed a poor reputation among its pilots, and the starfighter was said to move like a "sleepy Hutt”. Although slow for ship-to-ship combat, it was still capable of engaging other craft, and the Y-wing was excellent when used for planetary bombing runs.

Flights

The Warpigs are composed of three flights of four Y-Wings.

Hammer Flight

Hammer One

  • Name: Captain Aren Finn
  • Species: Human
  • Gender: Male
  • Astromech: R2-F7
  • Bio: Born on Corellia, Finn was a member of Public Safety Service for a number of years before becoming disillusioned with the political agenda of his superiors. After handing in his resignation Finn purchased a small freighter with the aim of making his fortune as a legitimate business man. Life however has a funny way of changing plans. On a run from Coruscant to Sullust his freighter was attacked by pirates who stole not just his cargo, but his entire ship. Leaving him floating in space in an escape pod he resigned himself to death when a squadron of fighters escorting a corvette exited hyperspace to make a course correction. Spotting the escape pod on their sensors they tractored the pod into the corvette’s hold saving his life. As the corvette and escort headed back to the port they called home Aren was introduced to the Kotahitanga-Unity Defense Force and the Jedi they served. With nothing to return to Aren volunteered and, after evaluating his skills, assigned him to the Warpigs.

  • Astromech: R5-E3
  • Bio: Born on Rodia Asota made a name for herself as a bounty hunter in her younger days however, looking for a steadier pay check, joined the K.U.D.F. Asota’s even temper and years of experience as a bounty hunter made her the ideal choice as the Warpig’s executive officer.

Hammer Three

  • Name: Lieutenant Grady Jenkins
  • Species: Human
  • Gender: Male
  • Astromech: R5-C7
  • Bio: A native of New Tython Grady volunteered for the K.U.D.F just after his eighteenth birthday. Now just twenty years old Grady is the baby of the squadron and often the butt of the older members jokes. He takes it all in his stride however and lately has begun to give as good as he gets.

Hammer Four

  • Name: Ensign Nak-Tor
  • Species: Harakoan
  • Gender: Male
  • Astromech: R2-V6
  • Bio: A native Harakoan, Nak-Tor is one of a new breed of Harakoan warriors that are embracing technology to serve in the K.U.D.F.

After being fired by Sienar Mikel was contacted by an old friend, Romus Ar Del, in an effort to recruit him into the K.U.D.F. Considered reckless but extremely talented Mikel often needs to be reined in by cooler heads within the squadron.

Sensing which way the solar winds had begun to blow the Duros packed up his family and left heading for the outer rim. Eventually landing on New Tython he lived with his wife and two children in peace until Cy Thuron’s coup detat. Romus raged at the thought that he could do nothing to keep his new home out of the hands of a tinpot dictator.
