OOC: In that scene only three other groups sound off: Red, under Wedge Antilles, Gray, under Horton Salm, and Green, under Arvel Crynyd. I’m guessing that they, and Lando were acting as wing commanders. Go reread the Wookieepedia article about the Battle of Endor and edit accordingly, please.

OOC: Those were the main groups. But considering the size of the battle, there would many squadrons. And you forgot about Blue Squadron, which was made up of B-Wings.

OOC: Note that I said they were acting as wing commanders, meaning that they would have squadron leaders as subordinates… evidence of this point is when Wedge tells the other fighters to lock S-foils in attack position. I assume that the individual squadrons checked in prior to that last hyperspace jump…

OOC: Nods. I've been having a very rough week regarding my job and it seems the stress is causing some of these issues.

“Lock S-foils in attack positions,” says Wedge, suiting actions to his words.
“May the Force be with us,” says Admiral Ackbar as he watches the fleet’s fighters move ahead of the warships towards the second Death Star.

“Break off the attack!” says Lando. “The shield is still up!”
“I get no reading, are you sure?” asked Wedge.
“Pull up! All craft pull up!” Lando orders.
“Copy, Gold Leader!” Major Swift acknowledges.

One of the Winged Vixens sadly doesn't pull up in time.

“Lead, Nine, Twelve just slammed into the shield,” Kari reports over the squadron’s discrete frequency.

"Stang..." Major Nerva Swift responds. "We will avenge them."

At about this time, the Emperor reveals that the Death Star’s superlaser is fully operational.
“Home One, this is Gold Leader,” says Lando.
“We saw it,” replies Admiral Ackbar. “All craft prepare to retreat.”
“You won’t get another chance at this, Admiral,” Lando responds.
Meanwhile, Kari gets on the tail of a Saber Squadron pilot and takes the shot, destroying him.
OOC: Who’s the ‘keeper of the bets’ among the fighter squadrons attached to Starkiller’s Return?

OOC: I will let you create a character for that purpose.
IC: Another Mon Calamari cruiser is destroyed by the Death Star. Debris from the cruiser slices a CR-90 corvette in half. Only several life pods are able to launch before the remains of the corvette explode.
OOC: The corvette that has just been destroyed was one from Marcus' group.

OOC: Why create a new character when we have a named character who we haven’t seen in a while?
IC: “Damn!” Kodai curses as the CR90 is destroyed by the debris from the Mon Cal.
