Richard A. Hunter was a human Veritech pilot who led Vermillion Squadron aboard the SDF-1 and was the adopted brother of Roy Fokker.

Back at Earth, Hunter trained the rookie pilot Hiro Amano, who was killed by turncoat RDF pilots working with Khyron.

He was also a member of the Sentinels decades later and married to Lisa Hayes.

In November of 2046 he awoke to Max Sterling reporting to Lisa on the outcome of the fleets encounter with the Invid and after the call Rick kissed her. He asked why she returned so soon and was told after looking over the shipyards the SFC-8000 was ahead of production schedule on Karbarra and the REF Fleet would be back to full strength by spring. She told Rick they lost contact with Richard Nador's fleet and the Invid were involved. Max was checking it out like enemy territory and it was near Haydon VI which Lisa was sending reinforcements to. Rick was concerned about other non Sentinels Races needing protection and how it was hard enough to manage their Sentinels allies who seemed to think Humans would solve their problems. Tiana was with them and had a meeting with Learna about her making first contact with a race called the Beleusans who Rick had a meeting planned with them. He hoped not to mention the Invid and Max would arrive in the afternoon. Later the REF went to Condition Yellow and activated Planetary Defense Systems. Rick and Lisa met with Commander Wallace of the SDF-3 and Sentinels Command and they received a message from Max on the Marcus Aurelius 2. Max revealed he started Phase 1 of preparing Probes to send out. Rocks headed for the Marcus Aurelius 2 and they send out a Probe as Learna talked with Rick on how the Sentinels felt uneasy of the attack on the the Invid remaining as they had no Regent nor Regess and still posed a danger. Lisa suggested a Main Gun Assault and Rick said to send more Probes after Max was finished with the battle. Rick and Max ordered all ships to fire on the enemy and sent in Probes. Commander Sefton told of something folding in by her ship after 3 of the 4 Probes were destroyed. Something enormous folded in but was cloaked and they appeared to be massive Mecha that dwarfed the Veritechs like Veritechs dwarfed Humans. The mechs left without a fight and Max ordered in a chase but there was a massive energy build up and Max ordered all forces to Fold out but the light of the energy build up approached the Marcus Aurelius 2.
