The Javelin represented a class of starfighter that saw deployment across the galaxy in the era after the conclusion of the Second Galactic Civil War. Around 41 ABY, as the Lost Tribe of Sith started to create a new Sith armada, the Sith initiated ambushes to capture various vessels to integrate them into their fleet. By the year 44 ABY, the Sith forces had at least six Javelin starfighters actively serving within their fleet. A group of six Javelins was dispatched to Pydyr to bolster the Sith presence there, subsequently entering into battle against a Jedi squadron of StealthXs.
