The Grand Army of the Republic contained a starfighter corps brigade known as the Light Brigade Division, which served in the final year of the Clone Wars. Within this brigade was HOB-147, a pilot who operated a V-19 Torrent starfighter.
Not long before Order 66 was carried out, the Light Brigade participated in a space engagement against Confederate units. In the course of this conflict, HOB-147's starfighter sustained significant damage.
