GENERAL INFORMATION

• Unit Name: OPA Combat Pilots
• Affiliation:
  • Partisan Resistance Network
  • Outer Planets Alliance
• Classification: Fighter Pilots
• Description: Alliance pilots have a reputation for swashbuckling bravado. They are relied upon by Alliance Command perhaps more than any other asset to scout deep space and keep the peace along Outer Rim hyperlanes. The OPA is always looking for new pilots looking to prove they have what it takes to fly with the best on the frontier. Rebel aces come from a multitude of different species and cultures.

In capital engagements mass fighter screens and bombing runs are common rebel tactics.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Frontier space has always been legendary for the flyers its produced. The so called Allied Fleet may be more ramshackle convoy than space navy but if there is one thing the OPA does not lack its eager pilots in training. Worlds like Pamarthe, Sullust and New Outback are particularly well known for producing combat aces. Stationed on carriers and outposts throughout the Outer Rim combat flights are dispatched on a routine basis. Alliance pilots patrol hyperlanes, hunt pirates, and respond to emerging threats.

For many the sight of OPA starfighters overhead is a welcome symbol of hope but there are those who consider them terrorists and agitators just like the Partisan Rebels they fight alongside. Pilots commonly behave like rugged outlaws as a result.

Since these guys are pilots, it would be best to list the fighters and whatever other craft they have access to.

Torrent-class Heavy Fighter

The Torrent is Semi-Unique. This is an Uncommon/Large units, which means it is restricted to Minor and Mass production factory subs.

As can be seen in the template, Semi-Unique Factory submissions are restricted to Unique/Small units (a single squad, squadron etc.).

• U-Wing Transport
• U-Wing Gunship

Furthermore, these two submissions are in Faction archives. Codex has this rule:

• Do not place links in submissions to threads that are within the Archives or anywhere that cannot always be publicly viewed. (Ex. Faction Groups/Google Docs/Etc)

I assume you wanted to use the U-Wings you've been linking in your other OPA/Sullust submissions. So please replace the links.

Turns out I have the wrong links for the U-Wings in our faction manifest. I just didn't look close enough at the Torrent. Thanks for catching them!
