Jek Porkins, Biggs Darklighter, and most of the Squadron dies. They use X-wing starfighters for the assault. In the films' plot, Red Squadron is essential to the destruction of the Death Star at the Battle of Yavin, where they engaged in a dogfight against Darth Vader. The squadron was never a prominent feature of these films, and was rarely referred to as "Rogue Squadron" (rather, the "Red Squadron" designation is used). The squadron went on to appear in The Empire Strikes Back at the Battle of Hoth and in Return of the Jedi during the attack on the second Death Star. This appearance features many notable pilots, including Biggs Darklighter ("Red Three"), Jek Porkins ("Red Six"), Wedge Antilles ("Red Two"), and Luke Skywalker ("Red Five"). Red Squadron, the forerunner of Rogue Squadron, is first featured as a Rebel Alliance division in A New Hope (1977) during the attack on the Galactic Empire's first Death Star.
