"Clone Flight Squad Seven launched from the carrier Ro-Ti-Mundi. Our mission was to escort Jedi Generals Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to the Separatist flagship Invisible Hand and cover them while they executed a boarding action."

―Oddball's account of the Battle of Coruscant

Clone Flight Squad Seven, also known as Clone Flight Seven or as Squad Seven was a starfighter flight group of the Galactic Republic that was part of the Open Circle Armada. The flight group was led by Clone Commander CC-2237, and participated in the Battle of Coruscant where they deployed from the Venator-class Star Destroyer Ro-ti-Mundi. After the Clone Wars, CC-2237 and Squad Seven served under the Galactic Empire.

History

During the Battle of Coruscant, one of the last major engagements during the Clone Wars, Squad Seven provided cover for Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker as they made their way to rescue the captured Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine from the Providence-class dreadnought Invisible Hand, the flagship of General Grievous.
