It had come as a surprise to the local Triffian government when the Protectorate officials had made the request for Triffian ships to join the protectorate fleet. Most of the Triffian navy had only been active in training duties, standing ready for when and if the protectorate should falter.

But the situation had changed, news of attacks on civilian fleets bearing trade goods for the sector had rattled everyone, including the Triffian King. So despite their initial protests, the Triffians decided to send ships to aid the protectorate in keeping the sector safe from pirates and terrorists.

It took some repairs to get Crimfang Squadron ready for action, but for the first time, Triffian pilots join the Protectorate fleet.

 The I-7 Howlrunner wasn't a very popular ship among imperial fleets. After the designers of the T-65 X-wing defected and took their designs with them, Incom struggled to repair their relationship with the Imperial navy, and as such the I-7 was seldom used.

Despite it's unpopularity the Howlrunner is a very efficient ship, fast and nimble - it rivals the T-65 X-wing in most situations, and the Triffians was very happy to include them in their fleet.
