The Reaper Squadron's first unofficial mission together was also the catalyst for their formation.

They have yet to face a major conflict since their formation, but have been running Sorties against various underworld factions in the meantime to maintain their edge. When traveling with the Task Force, Reaper Squadron is stationed aboard The Arbitration, unless mission parameters dictate requiring a new temporary posting.
