The concise narrative "The Briefing of Red Group" was penned by Michael Stern and originally featured in Galaxy Guide 5: Return of the Jedi. It subsequently appeared in The Movie Trilogy Sourcebook.
Wedge Antilles recounts the events to Voren Na'al, a historian. Antilles leads a meeting with Red Group, a collection of Rebel aviators comprised of Wes Janson, Derek Klivian, and Randi. He updates them regarding their impending assignment which is to obliterate the Death Star II, which is still being built above Endor. Antilles tells the group about the weakness within the reactor core, and that the station is shielded by a powerful energy shield emanating from Endor. While some misgivings arise, Antilles reassures them that Luke Skywalker and Han Solo will succeed in deactivating the shield.
