Description


As part of the Imperial Military, the 108th was a unit active during the Galactic Civil War between the Galactic Empire and the New Republic. It maintained its forces in the Gordian Reach, a sector in the Outer Rim Territories.

History


Following the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, which resulted in the splintering of Imperial forces due to the first death of Emperor Palpatine and the destruction of the second Death Star, the 108th was located in the Outer Rim's Gordian Reach. At that time, Imperial Colonel Madrighast contacted Colonel Shakara Nuress of the 204th Imperial Fighter Wing while aboard his Imperial-class Star Destroyer, the Unyielding, following the 204th's attack on the New Republic frigate Hellion's Dare.

Madrighast proposed that Nuress have her fighter wing join his forces before moving into the Gordian Reach and regrouping with the 108th. However, Nuress declined after a veiled threat from Madrighast, informing him that she was building an area of operations in the Pandem Nai system. Nuress invited Madrighast to resupply with her forces instead of moving to the Gordian Reach and linking up with the 108th. Several weeks later, Madrighast sent another message to the 204th, inviting them to join him in rendezvousing with the remains of the Imperial Navy led by Admiral Rae Sloane.
