Hlobane Squadron was comprised of a small group of three R-41 Starchaser craft and designated as a Squadron which was utilized by Rneekii pirates. This squadron originated from the Strike-class medium cruiser named Intombe, and their mission was to act as a protective screen for transport group Ibutho with the intention of seizing Imperial Modified corvette group Hashim. The operation ultimately failed, resulting in the complete annihilation of all the fighters by Tan Maarek Stele.
