History

During the evacuation of D'Qar, two bombers of Crimson Squadron were called in to bomb the Mandator IV-class Siege Dreadnought that was targeting the MC85 Star Cruiser Raddus, along with Cobalt Squadron. All of Crimson Squadron were destroyed, but Cobalt Squadron member Paige Tico managed to release their bombs and destroy the dreadnought.
