233rd Imperial Fighter Wing



The 233rd Imperial Fighter Wing was a starfighter wing serving the Galactic Empire in the Imperial Navy. It was made up of six squadrons of TIE pilots, flying mainly TIE/ln starfighters and TIE/rc Vanguards.

As a lieutenant, ace pilot Marek Vaiken Stele served in 233rd before transferring to the Emperor's Sword squadron of the Imperial Palace Guard.

During the Galactic Civil War, the 233rd originally was a mediocre unit of pilots that were stationed on. However, upon joining the 233rd, Lieutenant Vaiken trained his squadron (being a skilled pilot) and brought it into fighting shape. Eventually, he was promoted to captain and trained the other squadrons of the 233rd, making them a more successful and elite unit. After Vaiken was transferred to Emperor's Sword, the 233rd continued flying for the Empire. They flew TIE/In interceptors at the Battle of Endor.
