Red Squadron was an elite squadron of Hunter-class starfighters. These fighters were flown by members of the Je'daii Order when the Infinite Empire launched their invasion against the Tython system. During the year 25,792 BBY, Hawk Ryo commanded Red Squadron, as well as Blue Squadron, when the Je'daii mounted their defense of the planet Shikaakwa. Under the command of General Daegen Lok, the squadron executed a strafing attack against several Rakatan annihilators protecting the primary stronghold of the Rakata species located on Shikaakwa.
