The Red Nova functioned as a pirate class cruiser that was allied with the Invids. Back in 11 ABY, the crew, when stationed on Courkrus, would frequently gather at a cantina known as the Warren; Riistar's Raiders also frequented this establishment. The Red Nova's crew at one point had a connection with the bulk cruiser called Booty Full. Although Corran Horn, disguised as a "Ghost Jedi", did not directly pursue the Red Nova crew, the fear instilled by the Jedi led to widespread abandonment, drastically reducing their numbers. As a result of dwindling membership, the surviving crew members initiated talks with the LazerLords to consolidate their respective organizations, as both lacked sufficient personnel to operate effectively independently.
