Moonage Daydream
Name: The Tiburons, though this is only used publicly for the fighter squadron, and the ground teams rotate handles
Intent: To provide an elite unit for the Alliance to be launched from a mobile base (frigate) in a variety of roles, from strike fighter runs to SpecOps, specializing in setting up resistance cells and asymmetrical warfare
Membership Requirements: Legal adult age, former military experience is preferred. Ability to think outside the box and tackle problems from a variety of angles is a requirement. A desire to beat the Sith into a pulp rather than listen to them talk is also preferred.
Size: At least 12 fighter pilots, and 12 SpecOp commanders, numbers may overlap and rotate. Plus a command crew for the frigate Tyrene. Gear is ‘come as you are’ however as a Special Operations team, individual members are granted funds to outfit themselves. Fighters are either E-Wings or what they bring with them. Again, funds are make to allow for modifications to fighters. The teams are typically deployed in flights of four pilots and fireteams ranging from 3 to 6.

Signature Tag: Yeah, about that
Description: The Tiburons are born from the mind of Coren Starchaser, who used to be the Executive Officer of Warbird Wing, which had the Nightstinger Commando unit attached. This unit was working aboard the Starchaser’s home Star Destroyer of the Dawn Treader. However, this unit is more concerned with keeping their family safe from the Sith, under the command of Coren’s son. With the ship carrying families, including his own, he has opted to not involve them in this war.
Thus the Tiburons have been born. Basing themselves in a variety of locations, but calling the Strike-Class Corvette Tyrene home, this team emulates Coren’s vision of the best way to strike at the enemies of the Alliance and of the galaxy. A team that is equally at home in a starfighter as they are on the ground, the Tiburons are known to change their roles during engagements, from starfighter based strike roles (taking out high value targets and flying cover air support) to insurgency based missions and fighting in a different manner against their enemies.
Every member brings something new and different to the table, but will go through training to rescue high value targets, as well as setting up resistance cells behind enemy lines. While members will have most of a standard Alliance training package for soldiering and piloting at least blastboat analogs or larger, their unique talents are what brings them all together, and the goal of making a difference in the war.
As Starchaser is the commander, this unit will allow for Jedi, but is focused around using NFUs and the fringe Force groups.
