The '''Challenger Air Group''' originally comprised all squadrons deployed from the Star Destroyer ''[[Challenger]]''. Since the incorporation of some squadrons into [[Rogue Group]] however, it now consists only of squadrons directly tasked with the defense of the ''Challenger'' and The Wheel, and any directly related squadrons.
+
Following their exodus from [[Vortex]], the refugees of the [[Jedi Purge]] formed '''The Wheel''': a rag-tag fugitive fleet of Jedi survivors, under the protection of [[the Rebel Alliance]]. In order to evade the Empire and the Inquisitors, The Wheel remains constantly on the move, with her location being maintained as one of the Alliance's top secrets.
  
=== Squadrons ===
+
Jedi refugees continue to join The Wheel however, guided there by Rebel agents.
 
+
The Interceptor elements of the Challenger Air Group are organised into '''Viper Squadron'''. This unit originally consisted of two separate A-Wing Squadrons, both flying the [[RZ-1 A-Wing Interceptor]]; as a result, Viper Squadron is a double-strength unit. Viper Squadron provides Air Superiority via Combat Air Patrols for the ''Challenger'' and [[The Wheel]], with support provided by [[Rogue Group]].
+
 
+
Strike Fighter and Reconnaissance elements of the Air Group are collected as '''Raptor Squadron'''. The squadron operates [[BTL-S3 Y-Wing Starfighter]]s that primarily provide Air Support during combat operations. Some of the squadron's Y-Wings are configured for recon; The Wheel will routinely leave a Raptor behind after each jump for several hours, in order to watch for pursuers.
+
 
+
The Training of new pilots - both Alliance and Jedi - is conducted by '''Talon Squadron'''. They operate a number of [[Z-95 Headhunter]]s recently retrieved from the derelict Republic Cruiser ''[[Venture]]'', several of which have been [[ZX-95T Headhunter Trainer|modified]] to approximate an X-Wing Starfighter.
+
 
+
With [[Eta-2 Actis Light Interceptor|Jedi Starfighters]] now available on [[The Wheel]], any Jedi flying these craft are organized into an irregular unit designated '''Knight Flight''' during combat situations. This designation is merely used for the distribution of callsigns, and serves no administrative purpose.

During the [[Clone Wars]], the Challenger Air Group consisted of more than four hundred fighters and an assortment of shuttles and gunships. After the ship was extensively damaged during the Battle of Bothawui however, many of these ships had either been destroyed, or were reassigned to her sister ships from that battle.
+
The Wheel first formed when the ''[[Whaladon]]'', the ''[[Layla]]'', and an assortment of other freighters and transports evacuated [[the Jedi Enclave]] from [[Vortex]] shortly before a force of Imperials arrived. Escorted by the Alliance Frigate ''[[Valiant]]'', they remained in deep space until a new home could be found.
  
After the Bothans purchased the salvage rights to the ''Challenger'', the Air Group was replaced by an orbital contingent of the Bothan military's starfighter force. It also served as a training platform for fighter pilots attending the Bothan Military Academy.
+
It was eventually decided however that staying on the move was the safest way to remain one step ahead of the Empire. Shortly after the [[Battle of Bothawui]], the Alliance tasked '''Bothan Sector Group 75''' with providing increased protection for The Wheel, under the command of Commodore [[Vansen Tyree]] aboard the ''[[Challenger]]''. The Alliance's elite [[Rogue Squadron]] was also assigned to protect the Jedi. The Wheel has grown steadily ever since, gaining freighters, transports, and other support craft to protect, support, and accomodate the Jedi refugees.
  
After being donated to the Rebel Alliance and fully restored to operational specs, a new Air Group was formed using elements from the Fifth Fleet. The new Air Group was far smaller than the ship was capable of supporting, but her three A-Wing squadrons, two X-Wing squadrons, and Y-Wing squadron gave her a compliment that matched an [[Imperial Star Destroyer]]; the addition of [[Rogue Squadron]] made the Challenger Air Group particularly formidable.
+
After [http://www.sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?t=22031 detecting a signal] from a Republic derelict, The Wheel was able to salvage a number of Jedi Starfighters and hyperdrive rings, allowing the Jedi to venture out into the galaxy without needing freighters and transports of their own.
  
Some time later the Challenger Air Group's squadrons of X-Wings were absorbed into the new [[Rogue Group]]. One of her A-Wing squadrons - [[Thunderbolt Squadron]], the Alliance's elite A-Wing squadron - was reassigned to the [[Valiant]] alongside [[Valkyrie Squadron]]. Her remaining forces were reorganized into two units - [[Viper Squadron]] and [[Raptor Squadron]] - which operated A-Wings and Y-Wings respectively. An additional unit - [[Talon Squadron]] - was added for training purposes, employing several variants of the [[Z-95 Headhunter]].
+
After it was [http://www.sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?t=22042 revealed] that [[Loklorien s'Ilancy]] - until then the liaison between the Jedi and the Alliance - was in service to [[Dan the Man|a Sith]], The Wheel was [http://www.sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?t=22361 attacked] by one of her Dark Side associates. The chain of events led to a clamp down in security by [[Alliance Intelligence]].

―Someone

Following their exodus from Vortex, the refugees of the Jedi Purge formed The Wheel: a rag-tag fugitive fleet of Jedi survivors, under the protection of the Rebel Alliance. In order to evade the Empire and the Inquisitors, The Wheel remains constantly on the move, with her location being maintained as one of the Alliance's top secrets.

Jedi refugees continue to join The Wheel however, guided there by Rebel agents.

History

The Wheel first formed when the Whaladon, the Layla, and an assortment of other freighters and transports evacuated the Jedi Enclave from Vortex shortly before a force of Imperials arrived. Escorted by the Alliance Frigate Valiant, they remained in deep space until a new home could be found.

It was eventually decided however that staying on the move was the safest way to remain one step ahead of the Empire. Shortly after the Battle of Bothawui, the Alliance tasked Bothan Sector Group 75 with providing increased protection for The Wheel, under the command of Commodore Vansen Tyree aboard the Challenger. The Alliance's elite Rogue Squadron was also assigned to protect the Jedi. The Wheel has grown steadily ever since, gaining freighters, transports, and other support craft to protect, support, and accomodate the Jedi refugees.

After detecting a signal from a Republic derelict, The Wheel was able to salvage a number of Jedi Starfighters and hyperdrive rings, allowing the Jedi to venture out into the galaxy without needing freighters and transports of their own.

After it was revealed that Loklorien s'Ilancy - until then the liaison between the Jedi and the Alliance - was in service to a Sith, The Wheel was attacked by one of her Dark Side associates. The chain of events led to a clamp down in security by Alliance Intelligence.
