Background: Gold One was a BTL-A4 Y-wing assault starfighter/bomber under the command of Gold Leader Captain Jon Vander during the Galactic Civil War. Vander most notably used Gold One in battles such as the Battle of Scarif and the Battle of Yavin, where it was destroyed when the Sith Lord Darth Vader shot down Vander.

In 2 BBY, Gold One was flown as an escort for Mon Mothma’s ship, the Chandrila Mistress. Gold One and the rest of Gold Squadron formed a defensive perimeter around the ship when the Empire soon attacked the escort. After the Mistress was destroyed and their attackers defeated, Gold One escaped.

When Rogue One intercepted the Death Star’s plans on Scarif, Gold One and the rest of the Gold Squadron participated in the battle. After Jyn Erso transmitted the plans to the Profundity, Gold One and Gold Squadron jumped to hyperspace back to Yavin 4.

Following the Destruction of Alderaan and the Rescue of Princess Leia, the Rebel Alliance prepared their final attack against the superweapon. Gold One, piloted by Vander, participated in the battle. Upon making their way to the Meridian trench, they were intercepted by Darth Vader in his TIE Advanced x1, when the Sith Lord shot down the fighter, taking Vander and R2-BHD along with it.
