As Republic troops were forced to abandon their position, Hawk picked up the survivors on the roof of a building.
Following Republic victory on Christophsis, Hawk was one of the pilots for a LAAT/i deployed into the Battle of Teth to bring members of Torrent Company, including Skywalker and his Padawan Ahsoka Tano, to the planet. Once the gunships had entered the atmosphere and were heading to the B'omarr Order Monastery, battle droids at the monastery began to fire on the gunships. Hawk reported the enemy action to Skywalker, who was among the members of Torrent Company Hawk's gunship was carrying, and was ordered by Skywalker to close the blast shields on the gunship. Afterward, Hawk landed the gunship so that Skywalker, Tano, and the other members of Torrent Company the gunship was carrying could scale the Teth monastery.
