Where's red squadron? (new to game)

[Naso]

I just got the game and played the Empire campaign on medium and when I got the Death Star I kept expecting Red Squad to show up, but it never did. Right before I went after the fifth planet Tarkin said there was a danger, but still nothing. Basically, once I got to that point it was five dull identical battles while waiting for the DS to get there. Did I do something wrong?

He should have been in one of the 5 last battles, did you ever look to the top-right corner of the screen and look?

[Naso]

Yep, never a rebel hero in the entire campaign

Certain triggers will release Red 5. You need to make sure that the right planets are taken etc. Also, check to make sure that you have all the patches because he is there.

Where you playing the game on easy, medium, or hard? I dont know but I think that could effect the possibility of them showing.

[Naso]

I was playing on Medium and had taken the entire unlocked left side of the Galaxy, along with most of the lower right, and went in clockwise order with the Death Star killing Yavin either first or second, and I have the 1.05 patch.

For me the same thing happened - Red Squadron never showed up. However to compensate that, Moff Kalast and his ISD appeared a second time over Alzoc 3. I guess always in motion the future is

[Naso]

Weird, that happened to me too.

Whenever I play, it Red Squad has always shown up the first or second planet I hit.

Funny, I only played the Empire campaign once, but I never actually saw Red Squadron at all.
