- "As a veteran TIE pilot, I understand that the Rebellion is a vile movement against the true government, but in all honesty I have to respect the aggressiveness and ability of its pilots. Though most of them have not been formally trained, their experience in battle has more than made up for it."
- ―Flight Leader Trel Skutu.
The Alliance Starfighter Corps, also referred to as the Rebel Air Force, was headed by Jan Dodonna and is the non-naval unit of starfighters in the Alliance Military. Ranks, like its predecessor, were generally the same as the army. The alliance starfighter corps has participated in many battles such as the Battle of Kamino, the Battle of Yavin and the Battle of Toprawa and other successful Alliance victories and they often cordinated alongside Ordnance and Supply by protecting rebel supply routes and escorting supply fleets to their destination. Even though they are not starfighters rebel GR-75 medium transport were a common sight in starfighter taskforces and missions as they served as long-range fuel tankers and depots. Following the Declaration of a New Republic in 5 ABY, it was reorganized into the New Republic Starfighter Corps. It was well-noted that a majority of its fighters were -wing craft. Notable pilots in starfighter corps are Luke Skywalker, Wedge Antilles, and Tycho Celchu. Major starfighter producers for the corps include Mon Calamari, Isis, and Chardaan.
