As of approximately eight months after the Battle of Yavin the squadron was under the command of Captain Jodeen. On the order of General Noils, the garrison commander, the squadron was scrambled to drive off Red Squadron, which was attacking the Imperial fuel tanker Nuna's Twins.
The squadron was successful at repelling the Rebel attack, losing one TIE/LN starfighter to a collision with an Imperial assault ship that had just arrived out of hyperspace, and another to Rebel fire. Under attack from the squadron and the assault ship, and having completed their objectives, the Rebels then retreated. Jodeen was then ordered to have his squadron escort the fuel tanker to the base.
