Category:47th Strategic Defense Group

The 47th Strategic Defense Group was a large unit of varying Starfighters that served for fleet and supply escorts as well as dangerous attack runs. Founded roughly a year into the war, Jedi General Katline Primestar took command with hopes of revamping the unit of ragtag and under-equipped pilots, the primary reason why no other naval officers accepted the position.

Instead of traditional attack squadron training, Primestar directed the pilots' readiness for more specialized missions, such as defense of attack fleets and gunships, and introduced scenarios that required flexibility in the original strategy that tested their ability to adapt. To give the unit an advantage in their typical missions, the unit was outfitted with more advanced craft, including less common fighters, such as the HAAT/f or "Gunship Fighter".

Spitfire Squadron
The most prominent of the 47th's squadrons, Spitfire Squadron was a unit of V-19 Torrent Starfighters primarily intended for swift combat strikes and bomber or gunship escorts. They received a renowned reputation for their protection of allied craft in many battles, both in space and planetary assaults. To denote their unit affiliation, they painted red markings on the ends of the wings of their versatile fighters.
