Red Flight

"Leader, Three. Diplomacy means saying something soothing as you squeeze the trigger, right?"

- Wes Janson

Red Flight was a detachment of four T-65 X-wing starfighter pilots dispatched by the New Republic on a diplomatic mission to Adumar in 13 ABY. The group was led by General Wedge Antilles, and also consisted of Colonel Tycho Celchu, Major Wes Janson, and Major Derek "Hobbie" Klivian. Red Flight was stationed aboard the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer Allegiance.

As Adumari culture venerated fighter pilots, it was consided essential to send the most renowned pilots in the New Republic Defense Force, despite their lack of any diplomatic training. The mission did not go as planned, but ultimately Red Flight succeeded through the rather undiplomatic means of overthrowing the perator of Cartaan, Adumar's largest and most powerful nation, in collaboration with many of its smaller rival nations. Cartaan was supported by General Turr Phennir, the Imperial delegate to Adumar, who led a flight from the 181st Imperial Fighter Group but was defeated by Red Flight.

Shortly afterward, the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Agonizer arrived with orders to conquer Adumar. However, a combined New Republic and Adumari force was able to defeat the Imperials in the Battle of Adumar. Following the battle, Red Flight was disbanded, and its pilots returned to Rogue Squadron.
