The TIE/LN starfighter squadron known as Twilight Squadron was stationed on the Rand Ecliptic before the Battle of Yavin. Its roster included Delund, Peate Kurin, [Tars Nandy],/article/tars_nandy and it was under the command of First Mate Biggs Darklighter and Second Mate Derek Klivian. This squadron intercepted the civilian transport Lark while it was in the Bestine system, which resulted in Nandy destroying the ship and killing everyone on board.
Twilight Squadron makes their escape from the Rand Ecliptic.
Following the Rand Ecliptic's defection, many squadron members went on to join the Rebellion. Klivian placed Tars Nandy under arrest for his involvement in the destruction of the Lark. During the raid on the Incom Corporation assembly facility, all of the squadron's TIE fighters were intentionally destroyed. They were altered so that astromech droids could control them, and they were used to draw in Imperial forces. Although the four pilots managed to eject before Imperial TIE fighters pursued them, Kurin died by accident and Hobbie lost one of his legs.
Later, Darklighter and Klivian, two of the three remaining members, became part of Red Squadron for the Battle of Yavin.
