History[]
- "Stay close, Red Five! Where are you going?"
"This is Red Five! I need help!" - ―Red Leader Garven Dreis to Red Five Pedrin Gaul during the Battle of Scarif
The callsign was used by Pedrin Gaul of the Massassi Group during the battle over Scarif; however, Gaul was killed in the battle, leaving the position vacant.[3] It was later taken up by Luke Skywalker when he joined the Massassi Group shortly before the Battle of Yavin,[1] and he would use this callsign in that battle as well as in several subsequent missions.[4] After Skywalker destroyed the first Death Star, the callsign became synonymous with the actual X-wing fighter he flew.[5] Grizz Frix used the callsign during the Battle of Endor.[6]
