The First Starfighter Wing of the Scholae Palatinae Fighter Corps is a starfighter unit based at Ohmen, Judecca that deploys with the Nebula-Class Star Destroyer Excidium II, the Scholae Palatinae Flagship, as part of the First Floatilla of the Fleet. It is comprised of two squadrons of TIE Hunters, one squadron of TIE Interceptors and two squadrons of TIE Bombers and support ships.

Wing History

This fighter element was originally established during the wide-sweeping changes under the guidance of High Admiral Thran Occasus and Consul Emeritus, Dakari. Put together to carry out missions outside the Cocytus System to engage enemy fighters.

The first prominent usage of the wing came during the Rite of Supremacy: Second Darkness, when the squadrons were stocked with Dark Jedi from the Clan Scholae Palatinae and used to execute order "Fighter Screen" to flank the enemy forces of Arcona in conjunction with an Ackbar Slash. Additionally, this unit was a secondary factor in the Battle Plan simulation against the Enemy Forces of Naga Sadow in the second phase of the Rite of Supremacy - utilizing their superior speed and agility against enemy fighters.

Later, during the 8th Great Jedi War and the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong, the Scholae Palatinae Corps incurred terrible losses. On the front lines of the invasion, many of the Clan’s veteran enlisted pilots went MIA or were KIA helping the Clan to defend their home and place Second Overall in the GJW. In lieu of the Fleet’s reconstruction under Operation: Strike Back, the TIE Corps also saw a wave of upgrades and repairs. This saw the wing established as the First Starfighter Wing, and attached to the Flagship of Scholae Palatinae, the Nebula-Class Star Destroyer Excidium II.

With the fate of the wing now tied to the Flagship, it was based along with the rest of the Fleet's First Floatilla on the home planet of Judecca. While much of the Fleet was expanding to take on a more Imperialistic role, the First Floatilla remained the key to operations in space and as such the missions are almost always defensive in nature in support of Scholae Palatinae.

Mission

Provide starfighter support and defense to the First Floatilla of the Fleet of Scholae Palatinae, protecting the Nebula-Class Star Destroyer Excidium II above all else.
