Welcome to the Starfighter Corps

Congratulations on passing the Imperial Starfighter Recruitment process. This Handbook will be your best resource in developing your career as a member of the Imperial Starfighter Corps. Tasked with maintaining order throughout the galaxy, the Starfighter Corps ensures order, obedience, and Imperial control across the worlds we defend and the void between them. The Starfighter Corps complements our Star Destroyers serving as escorts, protectors, and bombers supporting ground troops. As symbols of Imperial control in space and Imperial Starfighter Academy graduates, Starfighter personnel commit themselves to the service of his Imperial Majesty, Emperor Palpatine, and proudly bind themselves by the Imperial Code.

Imperial Star Destroyer  (ISD - Consilio)

The Imperial Star Destroyer is the pride of the Imperial Navy, having enough capacity to carry Legions of personnel and support vessels. Infamous throughout the Galaxy and capable of reducing a planetary surface to molten slag.

The Planet of Lothal  (Lothal Base) 

Lothal is a planet in the Outer Rim Territories. During the early years of the Galactic Empire, Lothal was in a state of economic disrepair and invited the Empire to take over the planet's industries, with the promise of prosperity and security. Although many people said the Empire would bring doom, their attempted insurgency failed and now we get to garrison this rock.
