| − | Originally established as a [[T-65B X-Wing Starfighter]] Squadron, the Talons were part of the space superiority component of the Air Group aboard the Star Cruiser ''[[Horizon]]''. They specialised in interdiction operations, engaging the escort groups of Imperial supply convoys, either as simply to cause harassment and disruption, or as part of "resource gathering" missions for the Alliance.

| − | At the request of the ''Horizon'''s Captain, [[Vansen Tyree]], twelve of the new [[RZ-2 A-Wing Interceptor]]s were made available for Talon Squadron. Captain [[Jaden Luka]] - a [[Rogue Squadron]] pilot who had previously served in an A-Wing Squadron on one of Tyree's previous commands - was brought in to help the Talon pilots adapt to the differences between the performance of the X-Wing and A-Wing.

| − | Following the redeployment of [[Viper Squadron|Viper]] and [[Raptor Squadron]]s to the ''[[Challenger]]'', Talon Squadron is the only original member of the ''Horizon'' Air Group still based aboard. The ''Horizon'''s current deployment with the Fifth Fleet at Bothawui has the Talons seeing less front-line combat, though they are still occasionally deployed with the ''Horizon'' on disruption missions along the Perlemian Trade Route.
