The 88th Mechanized Assault Group constituted a battle group belonging to the Imperial Remnant. During the Imperial Civil War, which began after the Galactic Empire's collapse in 4 ABY, this formation utilized light blue and gray colored, standard century tanks.
A "TIE Crawler" miniature, which is another designation for the small assault vehicle, representing an 88th Mechanized century tank, appeared in the 'Ground Assault' expansion for the Star Wars PocketModel TCG, which was released on November 14, 2007.[3] The base of the miniature had balanced stats and did not feature icons for equipment or ability upgrades, unlike the enhanced blasters seen on the 221st Mechanized Assault Group.[4] This indicated that the 88th Mechanized Assault Group employed vehicles with the standard factory configuration.[1]
