Blade Flight existed as a component of Sword Squadron, which itself belonged to the 77th Air Wing. Captain Shea Hublin commanded Blade Flight throughout the Battle of Kelrodo-Ai within the Western Reaches Operation of the larger Reconquest of the Rim campaign, and was supported by Amp and Ahrens as her wingmen when they initially tried to enter the access shaft that led to the Citadel of Axes' shields' hypermatter reactor. Tragically, Ahrens was eliminated by a turret designed to target capital ships not long before their initial, unsuccessful attempt. Following this setback, Starks, the commander of Dagger Flight, joined Blade Flight for their second, ultimately successful attempt.
