88th Flight

The 88th Flight was a flight group of Trade Federation Vulture droid starfighters in the service of the navy of the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

History
Units of the 88th Flight were present during the infiltration of the Separatist listening post, Skytop Station, by a Republic squad led by Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano. They were activated by R3-S6 along with B2 super battle droids to attack Skywalker and the Clone troopers. Unfortunately all those unit's where destroyed by the task force.

Behind the Scenes
The Star Wars PocketModel TCG (trading card game) was the first to mention the name of the flight group in the Clone Wars expansion of the series. Clone Wars Tactics, the following expansion (the last one published by the company known as WizKids, Inc.), included 88th Flight Command units, which were elite members of the squadron. These units were marked with yellow stripes on their wing pods.
