Commanded by Major Grode, who also carried the rank of wing commander, it was tasked to protect the facilities of Moff Boren Tascl and Governor Norquest. Rogue Squadron's Tycho Celchu infiltrated the unit in the weeks following the Battle of Endor, and at a critical moment turned on the Imperial pilots, devastating them.
With Crimson Squadron destroyed and the Moff's other defenses overrun by the local resistance movement, the planet fell shortly thereafter.
Other pilots in the squadron included Aldrich Kugel and Petro.
