Red Squadron (Galactic Republic)

Red Squadron was a Jedi starfighter squadron in operation prior to and during the Clone Wars. The pilots of Red Squadron flew Delta-7 Aethersprite Interceptors.

Red Squadron saw action during the Stark Hyperspace War, where it accompanied Blue Squadron into battle against the Stark Commercial Combine. Both squadrons were led by the ace pilot Saesee Tiin.

During the Clone Wars, Red Squadron came under the leadership of General Aayla Secura. She led her squad against incoming droid starfighters at the Battle of Kamino, and took full control of the air battle when General Kenobi, Blue Leader, was shot down over the ocean.

In the second year of the conflict, command of Red Squadron had fallen to Jedi Master Plo Koon, who led his fighters into battle against pirate ships attacking a diplomatic cruiser carrying Senator Bail Organa. At this point, Red Squadron was a mix of Delta-7s and V-19 Torrent starfighters.

General Kenobi once more took command of Red Squadron during the last year of the war. Now part of the Open Circle Fleet, Red Squadron was comprised of Jedi Interceptors, ARC-170 starfighters and V-wing starfighters. Red Squadron participated in the Battle of Tythe, though the squad was decimated during the conflict. Only Kenobi and his wingman, Anakin Skywalker, survived, and following the battle, were immediately recalled to defend Coruscant. Here, Kenobi and Skywalker led a squad of ARC-170s, under the command of Odd Ball, in an assault against Invisible Hand, flagship of General Grievous.
