Starhawk Command functioned as a command element within the New Republic Defense Fleet. It played a role in the Battle of Jakku, which took place in 5 ABY during the Galactic Civil War. This conflict pitted the Galactic Empire against the New Republic, the latter being the succeeding government to the Alliance to Restore the Republic. In the course of this battle, Commander Iden Versio from Inferno Squad reached out to Starhawk Command. She requested orbital strikes targeting Imperial walkers that were moving toward her location, as she was trying to aid Captain Lindsey and his squad. The Starhawk-class battleship called Unity answered Versio's plea by initiating several orbital bombardments that effectively eliminated the walkers.
