Editing Blue Squadron (RDM)

'''Blue Squadron''' is a [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] squadron on ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' that has been reassigned to ''[[Galactica]]'' following the colonization of [[New Caprica]].

During the [[Battle of the Binary Star System]], Blue Squadron is shown on the Dradis screen participating in the battle.  It was presumably led by Captain [[Kara Thrace|Kara "Starbuck" Thrace]] ([[The Captain's Hand]]).

During the [[Battle of New Caprica]], Blue Squadron departs ''[[Galactica]]'' during planetfall. They lead hit and run attacks on surface installations during the battle ([[Exodus, Part II]]).

== Notes ==
* It is possible that this designation is just a [[wireless]] code name, and not a formal squadron name. Thus the use of the term "Blue Squadron" on both battlestars, need to necessarily refer to the same group of pilots.

-'''Blue Squadron''' is the [[wireless]] callsign of several fighter squadrons.
-It is the designation of the initial Viper squadron sortied from ''Pegasus'' during its [[Battle of the Communications Relay|attack on a Cylon communications relay]] under Admiral Cain {{TRS|Razor}}.
-During the [[Battle of the Binary Star System]], Blue Squadron is shown on the DRADIS screen participating in the battle. It is presumably led by {{callsign|Starbuck}} {{TRS|The Captain's Hand}}.

-Later, the name is used for a [[Raptor]] picket led by {{callsign|Helo}} {{TRS|The Son Also Rises}}. Blue Squadron appears on ''Galactica'''s DRADIS during the [[Battle of the Ionian Nebula]] {{TRS|He That Believeth in Me}}.

-* A group of Vipers is called "Blue Team" during a training exercise. Led by {{callsign|Kat}}, it measures its skills against [[Red Team]] {{TRS|Torn}}
-* In a "[[A Day in the Life]]," Lee Adama orders his pilots to do flying and landing exercises, dividing them into red, blue, yellow and green "sections".
 == Notes ==
-* Originally it seemed that Blue Squadron could be a standing squadron on ''{{RDM|Pegasus}}'' (similar to the naming scheme of the {{TOS|Battlestar Galactica|Original Series}}). However, later the term is used for widely different units, which are led by different people. This suggests that it is merely a callsign to identify the squadrons on the wireless and [[DRADIS]].
