Led by Commander Hobs Terin, Bolt Squadron is one of House Hoth's main special forces groups. The pilots were chosen for their abilities in both piloting a starfighter and at least one other useful skill. While the squadron is within the Odan-Urr United Space Command it sometimes answers directly to the Clan Odan-Urr summit.
Bolt Squadron was formed in 30 ABY as a training squadron for one class of that year's recruits. It was formed as a Z-95 headhunter squadron but was changed to an E-wing squadron near the end of the training cycle. Instead of the newly trained pilots being dispersed into other squadrons Bolt Squadron was made into a military unit and kept assembled. They served until 34 ABY when all but one of the squadron's pilots were killed during Fall of New Tython. The squadron was disbanded and the last surviving member, then Lieutenant Commander Hobs Terin, was promoted to Commander and given an A-wing squadron called Signate Squadron to command.
