The 72nd Flight, operating within the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars, consisted of Vulture-class droid starfighters belonging to a flight group within the Confederate Navy.
These Vulture-class battle droids of the 72nd Flight, a part of the Confederate Navy's forces, were colored in shades of light- and dark-gray. Similar to the droids of the 128th Flight, they featured enhanced targeting systems; however, they possessed fewer defensive measures compared to the droid starfighters of the 28th Flight and the 31st Flight.
During the Clone Wars, the 72nd Flight, a group of droid starfighters, engaged in combat for the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
A miniature representation of the 72nd Flight was included in the initial release of the Star Wars PocketModel TCG on June 19, 2007.
