181st Imperial Fighter Wing

"One of the best, if not the best, fighter units in the Empire."

- The Galactic Emperor describing the 181st

The 181st Imperial Fighter Wing, formally known as the 181st Imperial Fighter Group, and nicknamed the One-Eighty-Worst, was an elite TIE interceptor unit in the New Galactic Empire's Imperial Armada, and was formally one of the worst units in the Armada, and was nicknamed the One-Eighty-Worst. They were created as a unit where the cadets that did not pass all of the tests would go and rot. After a commander named Scimitar joined the 181st, he whipped them up into fighting shape. They utilized TIE/In Interceptors in battle.

The 181st was highly demanded, and fought in many battles and wars, such as the Fourth Jedi Purge, Alpha Zeta War, Cartel Crisis, and Fourth Yuuzhan Vong Invasion. When the 181st was a bad pilot group, they stayed out of missions and the pilots were often drunk, and did not follow military regulations. After Scimitar put them into fighting shape, they were highly respected in the Imperial ranks.
