Omin-Oreh was chosen by Captain Keyan Farlander to serve as his wingman, along with Namrhe, for a seemingly routine escort mission. The three Red Squadron pilots would fly BTL Y-wing starfighters, defending the shuttle Hunter while it captured an Imperial transport carrying officers to the Death Star.
The Y-wings launched at 0455 hours and by 0547, Omin-Oreh was floating in a bacta tank back on the Independence after being seriously wounded when his ship was shot down while protecting Farlander from Imperial fighters launched from the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Immortal as he attempted to prevent the transport's recapture.
Having recovered from his injuries, he returned to active duty shortly before the capture of the frigate Priam.
