"The 204th was never known for its mercy...'Shadow Wing', your people called it. Quite a name."

The 204th Imperial Fighter Wing, also known as Shadow Wing, was a fighter wing of the Galactic Empire formed at least twenty years before the hunt for Shadow Wing.

History
The 204th Imperial Fighter Wing was a fighter wing in the Imperial Military of the Galactic Empire under the command of Colonel Shakara Nuress that was formed at least twenty years before the hunt for Shadow Wing. During the Imperial Era, the 204th participated in the Orinda Massacre, and as such, was nicknamed "Shadow Wing." After the Battle of Hoth, Squadron Five of the 204th participated in the destruction of a Rebel Alliance cell, and was later tasked with a mission to the Kudo system to recover and secure the Star Destroyer Celerity.

After the Battle of Endor, Shadow Wing attacked the New Republic frigate Hellion's Dare and engaged Riot Squadron and Hound Squadron, managing to destroy the starship and many Republic starfighters. Also after the Battle of Endor, Colonel Madrighast contacted Colonel Nuress, informing her that he was planning to join up with the 108th in the Gordian Reach.

Characteristics
Under the direct command of Colonel Shakara Nuress and former leadership of Grand General Kenner Loring, Shadow Wing was considered to be special forces and was headquartered on the Pursuer, which was helmed by a captain. The 204th utilized at least two Quasar Fire-class cruiser-carriers, the Summit, under the command of another captain, and the Aerie. As a fighter wing, it had an arsenal of TIE/ln space superiority starfighters, TIE/IN interceptors, and at least one Lambda-class T-4a shuttle.

The 204th was composed of six squadrons, one of which was Squadron Five, which was led by Second Lieutenant Commander Teso Broosh, and another squadron being Squadron Four.
