Something that does not seem very clear yet is how FTL communiation works in this universe. The Red Eye was 'old' tech, predating the rebellion. The local communiation hub was doing 'something' wrong, and we know the rebels required those wailing stones to communicate, which means jamming might be in play.

Peridot's access to FTL comm seems pretty limited, none of her robonoids can do it and seem to require access to existing fixed installations. Even the Gem Warship does not seem to have an FTL comm on it.

So the Red Eye just never got a chance to report back.
