At the beginning of the Clone Wars, Jedi Master Ni Resh was assigned a small fleet of warships. The group's first battle was over the skies of Krashag. The group was then assigned on a tour of the Outer Rim planets, which occupied them until the end of the war. At the climax of the war, the 72nd Sector Group returned to the central Galaxy, where it was destroyed in the Battle of JBip.
