Cloak Force

Cloak Squadron was the force made up of TIE Fighters and stolen mole miners that was smuggled into the Sluis system in the cloaked cargo hold of the Nartissteu.

The force, led by Cloak Leader was able to (briefly) capture several New Republic ships by using the mole miners to drill through their hulls and deposit boarding parties of stormtroopers and spacetroopers on the vessels.

Eight of the mole miners were destroyed by Republic and Sluissi forces and the other forty-three were ruined when Lando Calrissian gave his override codes and sent them drilling entirely through the ships to which they were attached. Some of the TIEs were also destroyed, but most retreated with Cloak Leader back to the Chimaera.

Behind the scenes
This combined force is never actually referred to as "Cloak Squadron" in the novel in which it appears. However, it is commanded by "Cloak Leader" and it can be inferred that the group it was probably called Cloak Squadron or something similar.
