Victorious was a flagship of the Qeimet fleet throughout the Galactic Civil War, classified as a capital ship.
A training squadron was part of the starfighter complement carried by the Victorious. Towards the conclusion of their training while aboard the Victorious, these trainees found themselves flying TIE fighter craft as pilots in real combat scenarios. While typically intended to remain in reserve, circumstances occasionally required their direct engagement with Alliance to Restore the Republic starfighters.
During the assault of U'Dray, the Scimitar assault wing experienced significant casualties, compelling them to integrate replacement pilots sourced from the training squadron aboard the Victorious. These pilots were slated to finalize their TIE/sa bomber training amidst actual combat, yet lacked complete wing indoctrination. Consequently, Tomax Bren, who commanded the Scimitar assault wing, disseminated a datamemo to his squadron leaders, emphasizing the importance of imparting essential knowledge to the newly integrated pilots.
