Following the Battle of Abregado, Matchstick and Shadow Squadron accompanied Skywalker and his Padawan, Jedi Commander Ahsoka Tano![](MyCollection_Unit_Tano, Ahsoka.jpg) | Ashoka Tano(Togruta)CharacterMajor Characters | , to the Bormus Testing Facility to retrieve several BTL-B Y-wing starfighters![](MyCollection_Unit_BTL-B Y-Wing Starfighter.jpg) | BTL-B Y-WingStarshipStarfighter Models | for an upcoming assault on the Malevolence.After acquiring the starfighters, Skywalker developed a plan to destroy the Malevolence with the newly acquired bombers by ambushing the Confederate warship near the Kaliida Nebula.
