History
The most recent, prominent actions of this Wing were seen in the Rite of Supremacy: Second Darkness, when the unit was stocked with Dark Jedi from the Clan Scholae Palatinae and used to execute order "Backside Blitz" & "Bombs Away" to flank the enemy forces of Arcona in conjunction with an Ackbar Slash. Additionally, this unit was a primary 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 weaponry against Enemy Fighters.
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. With new fighters, the Third Starfighter Wing stands poised to protect Clan and home once again…
