  • I Knew It!: Before Celebration 2017, it was guessed that Inferno Squad was the tie-in novel for Battlefront II (2017), mainly basing off the Cross-Referenced Titles as a common trend in Battlefront novel titles is that they're all group names (ex. Battlefront: Twilight Company). A leaked teaser of the game showed an elite squad of Stormtroopers as the main characters of the single-player campaign, which lended further credence to the theory, also throwing in that Inferno Squad would be a prequel to the game. Come the actual announcement, and yes, that squad is the titular Inferno Squadron.
  • Magnificent Bitch (includes Battlefront II): Iden Versio is the commander of the Empire's elite Inferno Squadron. Along with her squad, Iden infiltrates The Dreamers, gaining the trust of the extremist group before dismantling it. Iden allows herself to be captured by the Rebel Alliance to infiltrate their ship and delete all the data gathered on the Imperial Fleet before making her escape. Learning of the Empire's intention to destroy her home planet, Iden turns on them with Del to join the Rebels, using her cunning to ensure many victories over the Empire, eventually leading to its destruction in the Battle of Jakku. Learning of Gideon Hask killing Del and his Project Resurrection years later, Iden and her daughter use a TIE fighter to sneak into Hask's Star Destroyer and kill Hask. Being fatally shot beforehand, Iden ensures that her daughter escapes the destroyed ship to notify Leia Organa about the First Order's forces before accepting her death.
