Tofen's Raiders were a starfighter squadron originating from Valahari, celebrated for their exceptional pilots and skilled engineers. Established around the time of the Clone Wars, this unit sided with the Confederacy of Independent Systems against the Galactic Republic, becoming an element of the Separatist Navy. Equipped with superior Tempest Zero starfighters, the pilots undertook numerous missions in the northern Separatist sectors, supporting their allies.
During the period between 21 BBY and 19 BBY, Tofen's Raiders engaged in a skirmish with Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, an encounter where the Jedi's starfighter suffered mechanical failures. Kenobi later described this encounter to Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker during a battle with the Separatist fleet, at a time when Skywalker was attempting to dissuade Kenobi from piloting.
The initial mention of Tofen's Raiders within the current Star Wars canon occurred in Rise of the Separatists, a 2019 addition to the Star Wars Roleplaying game series by Fantasy Flight Games. Regarding Star Wars Legends continuity, Tofen's Raiders initially made their debut in the tenth edition of the comic-book series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, penned by Henry Gilroy and Steven Melching, with illustrations by Brian Koschak, and released by Dark Horse Comics on November 11, 2009.
