'''Skyward Flight''' was a squadron of ten cadet pilots of [[Poco]]-class [[starfighter]]s in the [[Defiant Defense Force]] on [[Detritus]].{{book ref|sky1|9}} Original members of the group notably include [[Spensa Nightshade]], daughter of [[Chaser]], [[Jorgen Weight]], son of a [[First Citizen]] and a [[National Assembly Leader]], and [[Rodge McCaffrey]], the highest scoring cadet on that year's pilot test.{{book ref|sky1|9}}
