Description
Established by Isabelle Devon following the First Death Star's destruction, Goldsaber Squadron served as a burning spear that would plunge itself into the heart of battle, we were certainly a varied bunch, coming from all walks of life... Our founder and first squad leader was an Alderaanian native motivated by grief, she was Isabelle, my former commander, following her was a Jedi raised in an orphanage, that would be me by the way, after Isabelle's death I assumed the position of command... Also flying with us was Jaeriel, a young Mandalorian-Jedi girl, and later my adopted Chiss daughter Orchid joined us too. There was also Nox, an Imperial deserter who spent her early Rebellion years battling Glitterstim and Deathstick addiction, traumatized by her crimes in Imperial service and fighting for redemption... We had former bountyhunters like Ashna, ex-vigilantes like Zomori, career criminals who'd crossed the Empire few too many times, like Saki, wannabe Sling-Racers like Victor, and honest to god servicemen like Dunstan... Looking back, we were quite the collection of oddities!
~Quinn Shara, Extract from one of her published works, "Goldsaber: The Rebellion's Spear" retelling the story of Goldsaber Squadron, from it's initial establishment, to the year 24ABY (date of writing), co-authored by surviving Goldsaber Squardmates, and dedicated to those who'd been lost, most notably it's founder and her family.

Yet more Star Wars AU stuff! Just a few sketched this time though, for Imperial ships captured by the Rebellion/New Republic and given that Goldsaber flair! Also a design for the Goldsaber insignia, a gold, elongated Starbird with extra wings, reminiscent of an X-Wing.

I like the idea of Goldsaber being a truly ragtag bunch, using all kinds of fighters, including liberated Imperial craft, of course employing Imperial craft presents problems as there's the risk of friendly fire, as such Goldsaber pilots paint their ships in an audacious, eye-catching manner, meaning their squadmates and fellow Rebellion/New Republic pilots can easily identify them. This bold display also makes for an eye catching target for any Imperial pilot, as such Goldsaber pilots often deploy as diversionary units alongside other squadrons that employ more vanilla paint jobs, Goldsabers stand out from the crowd!

During the early years of the New Republic I imagine they operate from a captured Star Destroyer, emblazoned with a huge insignia as a bold statement against the Empire's remnants. XD

Anyhow, I hope ya'll like this insight into Goldsaber's inner workings and methodology, I had a lot of fun with it.
EDIT: OH GOOD GRIEF, I SPELLED REPUBLIC AND REBEL WITH d's INSTEAD OF b's, I'VE NEVER FELT SO COLOSSALLY STUPID.
