The Army Aviation was a unit of TIE pilots that provided air support for the Imperial Army, separately from the Imperial Navy.

The unit had notable successes during the Galactic Civil War, but was criticized for splitting the Army and Navy further apart. Many officers hated the rivalry between the two branches and wanted it gone, but the Army getting it's own fighter unit destroyed it's last reliance on the Navy; eliminating more cooperation.

Nonetheless, the Army Aviation produced several fighter aces, one of them being Chief Petty Officer (later a Colonel General) Yakov Sukhoi. He went on to create his own corporation which produced a famous line of fighters. They became used by governments across the galaxy.
