The Republic Starfighter Corps was the aerial warfare branch of the Republic Military. Alongside the Republic Navy and the Republic Army, it served the Galactic Republic for nearly fifteen thousand years until after the New Sith Wars, when the Starfighter Corps was scaled down by the Ruusan Reformation and made part of the Judicial Forces. The Republic Starfighter Corps was restored in 22 BBY with the outbreak of the Clone Wars. However, after the Declaration of a New Order in 19 BBY, the Starfighter Corps lost its status as an independent arm and was subordinated to the requirements of the Imperial Navy.
