Red Squadron (Star Tours)

Red Squadron was a New Republic X-wing starfighter squadron operating in the months after the Battle of Endor.
==History==
In 4.3 ABY, the squadron's X-wing pilots engaged the forces of Imperial Warlord Ennix Devian, which had launched a feint at the Alliance of Free Planets capital of Endor, deploying what seemed to be a third Death Star—in reality an unfinished worldcraft habitation sphere—and a force of Imperial Star Destroyers and TIE fighters.
During the battle, the pilot designated "Red Leader" discovered, to his surprise, that a Star Tours travel agency StarSpeeder 3000 had been caught in a Star Destroyer's tractor beam. Freeing the civilian vessel and attempting to protect it from a wave of TIE fighters, the pilots made for the Death Star's surface. Calling on squadronmates designated "Red Twenty-Four" and "Red Thirty" to provide cover for an attack run on the battle station's vulnerable thermal exhaust port, a Red squadron X-wing—with Star Tours Flight 45 close behind—scored a direct hit, destroying the station as the group jumped to hyperspace.
