"Fleet Admiral Numinn has authorized the formation of the Coruscant Aegis--an elite attack squadron meant to break the Imperial offensive, swiftly and quietly."

―Republic Navy Flight Commander Judin attempts to recruit a Republic hero into the newly formed Coruscant Aegis

The Coruscant Aegis was an elite attack squadron of the Galactic Republic's navy active during the Cold War and Galactic War with the reconstituted Sith Empire. The unit's initial mission was to undertake space-based missions to quell illegal Imperial attacks against Republic assets seeking to provoke a breach of the terms of the Treaty of Coruscant and reignite hostilities between the two factions. The squadron's missions were conducted across the entirety of the galaxy.

Behind the scenes

The Coruscant Aegis first appeared in the BioWare-LucasArts video game Star Wars: The Old Republic in 2011. All four Republic player character classes gained access to a personal starship after concluding their respective class stories on the Republic capital world of Coruscant. The initial use of the Republic Fleet Command console on the starship's bridge initiated a conversation with a Republic Flight Commander non-player character, identified as Flight Commander Judin in dialogue, which served as a story backdrop for the in-game space missions. Among the dialogue options, players could choose to have their character demand installment as the squadron leader as a condition for joining the unit, to which Judin consented. This content was mirrored for Imperial faction player characters, who enlist in the Empire's Fury.
