The 103rd Starfighter Wing was first formed as part of the Grand Army of the Republic and was assigned to a Core defense fleet and attached to the Venator-class Star Destroyer "Negotiator". The wing was comprised of five squadrons, totaling sixty starfighters and a ground crew of two hundred mechanics and droids. At the beginning of the war three of the squadrons flew V-19 Torrent starfighters, and two flew Z-95 Headhunters. The unit saw little action in the early months of the First Galactic Civil War, patrolling systems in the Coruscant sector. However, as the Republic began to overextend itself in Year -24 after their embarrassments at Ryloth and Kamino Separatists incursions grew more frequent, and the "Negotiator" was redeployed to support a battle group in Billbringi before joining the 9th Battlegroup on the assault on Dolomar. After that battle, the "Negotiator" and the 103rd were recalled to Coruscant where it spent the remainder of the war. The unit was retrained to fly the new Nimbus V-Wing starfighters just before the invasion of Coruscant, where the unit fought valiantly to repel the Separatist fleet. The 103rd remained in the Coruscant sector, flying peacekeeping missions as the victorious Republic transitioned in the Galactic Empire.
