The 128th Fighter Group was a unit that supported the Galactic Empire's starfighter corps through the use of TIE/IN interceptors. This fighter group held an elite status within the Empire, standing alongside the likes of the 181st Imperial Fighter Wing.
The initial reference to the 128th Fighter Group within the current Star Wars canon occurred in 2015, specifically within the thirty-third issue of De Agostini's Star Wars: Build the Millennium Falcon magazine. Conversely, in the Star Wars Legends timeline, the unit's debut was as the 128th TIE Interceptor Squadron within the 1998 video game Star Wars: Rogue Squadron developed by LucasArts.
