Z-28 Skywing

The Z-28 Skywing was a model of starfighter utilized by the Galactic Republic during the High Republic Era. Produced by Incom Corporation, the fighters had an arrowhead shape. The Republic possessed direct control of a number of Skywings, while further squadrons of Skywings were owned by the member worlds of the Republic Defense Coalition.

For years, Skywings were deployed in the conflict with the Nihil marauders. During the Battle of Kur of 232 BBY, Republic Skywings fought alongside the Jedi Order against the forces of Nihil Tempest Runner Kassav Milliko, with a number of the fighters being destroyed. Later in the conflict, the fighters saw action in the Bright Jewel system, the planet Dol'har Hyde, in which they assisted in the capture of Nihil member Krix Kamerat, during a mission to board a freighter, the planet Ballum, where they engaged Hutt Clan forces and their enforcer, Lourna Dee, the Ribento system, where they engaged the forces of Nihil member Melis Shryke, and during a mission to rescue prisoners aboard the Korvix Vorn prison ship.
