The skirmish over Castilon was a conflict that was fought on[2] the planet[3] Castilon[2] sometime between 22 BBY and 19 BBY[1] and involved Reaper Squadron, a starfighter squadron of the Galactic Republic. At least three clone Z-95 Headhunters participated in the skirmish, avoiding laser bolts above the oceans of Castilon. Reaper Squadron's use of Z-95s in the engagement contributed to the unit's fame for using that starship model.[2]
