Space Rescue Corps

The Space Rescue Corps or SRC, and sometime known as the New Republic Search and Rescue Corps, was a search and rescue service that was first established by the Galactic Republic, and later the Galactic Empire and New Republic that was responsible for maintaining the safety of travellers in space and would rescue those in peril.

The service did not change much with the rise of the Galactic Empire. The rescue vessels of the SRC were easily recognized by a striking red and black pattern. Likewise their uniform was black with red trim.

The ships Iron Tether and Corellian Consort were part of the SRC fleet before and after the rise of the Empire, respectively. Pride of Thela and No Luck Required were SRC ships in the New Republic.

By the time of the Yuuzhan Vong War, the SRC after the Battle of Duro, it ships were used as a covert means of rescuing Jedi as part of the Great River project. The Catchhawks were a team that flew under the Corps.
