Red Feathers was a disabled Super Transport VI from Kuat Drive Yards that had met its end in a crash on Blood Nest, a moon circling the gas giant designated M2398-3. This very vessel served as the operational center for a pirate group also known as Blood Nest, that is, until Wraith Squadron brought about their defeat in 7 ABY. Following this, during the Battle of Ession, the New Republic utilized it to deploy not one, but three starfighter squadrons along with Page's commandos. The commandos then initiated the ship's self-destruction sequence, evacuating via an escape pod, just prior to the release of Rogue, Blue, and Green Squadrons from the ship's hangar as the self-destruct charges tore the vessel apart.
