Hunt for Shadow Wing

During the Galactic Civil War, New Republic General Hera Syndulla tasked Alphabet Squadron with hunting down and destroying Shadow Wing, a lethal force of TIE fighters. The Barma Battle Group, led by the Deliverance had multiple engagements with Shadow Wing and was able to keep finding the Imperial Fleet due to Yrica Quell installing a device that sent out transmission.

After the devastating Cerberon system campaign, Soran Keize contacted Grand Admiral Rae Sloane and formally pledged allegiance to her and the remnant of the Empire. Sloane's first assignment for Shadow Wing was the destruction of disloyal Imperial groups. The Yomo Council was targeted for refusing to redirect its forces to the D'Aelgoth sector and not acknowledging the Regent on Coruscant. Dybbron III, Kortatka, and Fedovoi End were all destroyed as a part of Operation: Cinder. Shadow Wing gained many recruits from these planets because they offered surrender before the planet was destroyed. Soran's speech transmission was picked up at Fedovoi End, and Hera's Fleet pursued.
