However, one of the vulture droids shot down by Hawk crashed into the vault, inadvertently causing the death of Rush Clovis, who was holding Senator Padmé Amidala hostage. In the ensuing chaos, Hawk and his comrades shot down the remaining vulture droids outside Scipio's Main Vault, allowing the Republic to win the battle. Z-95s engaged vulture droids to clear a path for the gunships to land, allowing the Confederate navy to withdraw and abandon the ground forces left in the planet. During Skywalker's invasion of Scipio, the headquarters of the InterGalactic Banking Clan, clone pilot ' Hawk' and other pilots flew Z-95 starfighters as escort for the 501st Legion's LAAT/i gunships.

When Skywalker led a campaign to free Ringo Vinda from Separatist forces, squadrons of Z-95 starfighters engaged the enemy fighters around the massive space station orbiting the planet. Z-95s were also used as aerial security in Kamino's cloning facilities, particularly at the clone military education complex. On Coruscant, a number of clone Z-95s were held as a reserve force in a Republic Navy base, along with other starfighters and various personnel. Unfortunately, Skyalkwer and Tano were called off from the attack so they could investigate an attack on the Jedi Temple, while the Republic continued the assault on the planet. In the ensuing battle, Skywalker punched a hole against the vulture droids to clear a path for the Z-95s and several of them engaged in dogfights against droid tri-fighters, with one of them being shot down. Z-95 Headhunters also participated in the defense of Cato Neimoidia where they were led by Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan Ahsoka Tano in an attempt to liberate the planet from Separatist control. Engle would escape the burning cockpit of his starfighter, with Kenobi helping him get to safety. Unfortunately, Killer was killed in the ensuing battle while Engle crash-landed on Kenobi's ship, the Negotiator. One Z-95 was piloted by clone pilot ' Killer,' who provided cover fire for his wingman ' Engle,' who was making bombing runs on Separatist warships in his Y-wing starfighter. ĭuring the attack on Obi-Wan's fleet, Z-95 Headhunters participated in defending the fleet from General Grievous.

However, with the help of Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, who was able to hijack one of the defense towers and destroy three of them, Admiral Barton Coburn's ship, the Hand of Justice, was able to get close to the facility and rescue the slaves before the gunships destroyed the facility. Koon used his starfighter to destroy both Starhoppers, saving Warthog and their fellow wingmen, but were unable to destroy the defense towers of the slave processing facility. During the battle, they engaged HH-87 Starhopper's piloted by Zygerrian pilots, with clone pilot Warthog's ship being damaged by one of them. They would later participate in the Battle of Kadavo, where they provided escort to Jedi Master Plo Koon in his starfighter and 104th Battalion's Wolfpack gunships in a attempt to rescue Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi, Clone Captain CT-7567 'Rex,' and a group of Togruta slaves, who were being held captive by Zygerrian keeper Agruss in the Kadavo slave processing facility. As the battle wore on, Z-95s combated Umbaran starfighters when the Republic engaged a Separatist fleet in space. At the lengthy Battle of Umbara, Z-95s fought as the Republic fleet broke through the Separatist blockade, and later provided escort to gunships that were deploying troops on the surface. The Republic Navy employed the Z-95 starfighter in several capacities, including escort and starfighter combat against enemy forces from the Navy of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Z-95s escorting Republic forces to Umbara The fighter was also armed with Taim & Bak manufactured KX5 laser cannons, as well as close-ranged sensors and a day's worth of consumables. It was fast and agile, and while its proton torpedo launchers armed with eight torpedoes each gave the fighter a punch well out of proportion to its size of 16.74 meters long and 18.13 meters wide. The Z-95 Headhunter was a 75,000- credit starfighter designed specifically for the Navy to take advantage of the physical and mental capabilities of clone trooper pilots. A joint venture between Incom and Sublights Products Corporation, the clone Z-95 Headhunter was the Galactic Republic naval forces' primary multi-role starfighter.
