[SIZE=9pt]COMBAT INFORMATION[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]Availability: [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Unique.[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] There's only one Lightning Squadron[/SIZE]
- Deployment: Limited. Only a Few can handle an A-wing.
- [SIZE=9pt]Strengths & Weaknesses: [/SIZE]
- Space Supremacy: Equipped with the RZ-1 A-wing Interceptor and trained in space combat, these pilots are experts and excel in anti-fighter combat, be they escorting other squadrons, intercepting enemy strike craft, or simply trying to wipe out a group of enemy interceptors.
- Loyalty: Lightning Squadron's pilots are loyal to the Galactic Alliance to the end, and this drive to do good keeps them flying even when hope seems lost.
- Hopelessly Outgunned: Equipped with RZ-1 Interceptors, Lightning Squadron is horrendously ill-equipped to engage anything larger than the smaller classes of patrol vessels.
- Fish Out of Water: Lightning Squadron is a fighter squadron, and while they have the training to survive post-crash on most planets, they won't survive more than a few hours on any kind of battlefield
- Crazy and Bold: While certainly great fighter pilots, these pilots are all as foolhardy as A-wing Pilots have to be, this showing through a crazed love of danger that could one day spell fame, or disaster, for Lightning Squadron
- Description:
- After the battle of L-49, in which Flight Officer Jarck Rabsch was forced to take command over elements of Red Squadron by circumstance, It was decided by his direct superiors to direct him to found a Space Superiority Squadron. Drawing from other A-wing pilots from throughout the fleet, Jarck established Lightning Squadron. 12 RZ-1 A-wings were requisitioned and the Squadron was assigned to a refitted Pelta-Class Frigate Thunderhead. This 12-Pilot Squadron is split up into three Flights, named rather blandly Aurek, Besh, and Cresh, not including the Support Element aboard Thunderhead. The Pilots train regularly in space superiority combat in order to ensure they are always ready to answer the call -- wherever it may take them.
