During his training aboard the Independence, Flight Cadet Keyan Farlander encountered veteran Rebel pilot Halley Kadorto, who had flown under the call sign Red Two for his famous rescue at Mon Calamari.Star Wars: X-WingX-Wing: The Official Strategy Guide
As a member of the Independence Red Squadron, Farlander himself flew as Red Two on his first mission, and a later rescue of a Sullustan leader. The call sign was also frequently used by Farlander's wingmates: Sunnar Jan-lo, for the capture of Cygnus Staff and the destruction of the Intrepid, Lieutenant Cardacs, who died in action on a rescue mission to Star's End, and Toalagar, who was killed by missiles from an Assault Gunboat during a mission to rescue Wookiee slaves.
By 0 BBY, Red Squadron had been transferred to the Alliance's Massassi Base on Yavin 4 in preparation for the coming assault on the Death Star. During this time, Wedge Antilles used the call sign Red Two, participating in a mission to Commenor to acquire astromech droids for the squadron,X-Wing Rogue Squadron ½ and the subsequent Battle of Yavin, where he was forced to pull out of the final trench run when his T-65 X-wing starfighter took damage, but was among the pivotal battle's few survivors. After the destruction of the Death Star, Antilles patrolled the Yavin system as Red Two, encountering the forces of crime lord Tyber Zann.Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption Antilles would return to the call sign seven months after the Battle of Yavin for a mission to establish a listening post on Lubang Minor,Empire 27 and again, years later, at the end of the Yuuzhan Vong War, saving Lando Calrissian's Lady Luck from pursuing coralskippers.The New Jedi Order: The Unifying Force
