- Description: Wraith Squadron is an Imperial Naval Squadron currently under the command and control of the Warlord of the Empire, Marlon Sularen. It was first established in the aftermath of the collapse of the Dark Empire, comprised of the few Imperial Warships that would still acknowledge the authority of Sularen as the large portions of the surviving elements of the Imperial Navy flocked to other Imperial Warlords, Governors and Moffs. Now it serves as Warlord Sularen's primary means of power projection across the galaxy, enforcing his will against all those who will oppose him in his journey to establish himself as the Heir to the Empire.
- Headquarters: Black Fifteen Shipyards
- Ports of Call: N/A | Outside it's Headquarters, Wraith Squadron has no ports of call largely due to it operating as a mobile fleet that rarely sticks to a single region for extended periods of time. This is done as to allow them to not be tied down to any part of the galaxy and thus become vulnerable to enemy offensive operations against the Naval Squadron.
- Goals: The primary goals of Wraith Squadron is to secure the Legacy of the Dark Empire by challenging any sort of expansion into former Imperial territory by hostile factions such as the Galactic Alliance, the Diarchy and the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders in support of Imperial-aligned resistance groups while also serving as a primary means of power projection for Warlord Sularen in order to secure further resources and assets to rebuild the Empire.
- Reputation: Despite being a relatively new naval squadron, Wraith Squadron's reputation so far has been defined by that of it's commanding officer, Marlon Sularen whose reputation as a naval commander is well known across the galaxy owing to his prior service to the Brotherhood of the Maw during the Second Great Hyperspace War and the Dark Empire during the Core Wars and adjacent conflicts. To the scattered remnants of Imperialism across the galaxy, Wraith Squadron serves as a last major vestige of Imperial Power Projection across the galaxy while to the enemies of Imperialism such as the Alliance, the Neo-Crusaders and the Diarchy, Wraith Squadron through it's affiliation with Sularen represents a major obstacle to their own plans should they desire to claim former Dark Imperial territory.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
When the Dark Empire collapsed as a result of both internal and external pressure from rebellious forces in the Deep Core and a Mandalorian offensive, Lord-Regent Marlon Sularen sought to move swiftly to preserve the legacy of the Dark Empire hoping to wage a Campaign against those who would seek to advance into former Imperial Territory and claim former Imperial worlds for themselves as part of a larger bid to establish himself as the "Heir to the Empire". However as the Dark Empire fell apart, many Governors and Moffs began to cannibalize the Imperial Navy right underneath the Lord-Regent's nose, redirecting them elsewhere against the Lord-Regent's orders and directly undermining the Lord-Regent's position.
With all form of Central Authority eroded, Marlon Sularen put his plans for insurgency on the shelves and began to gather what support he could in order to build-up his own powerbase in his bid to establish himself as the sole "Heir to the Empire". As part of this effort, the former Lord-Regent would begin organizing a medium-sized fleet from which would serve as his primary means of power projection that would enable him to achieve his goals when military force was required. With many Governors and Moffs having already cannibalized his Imperial Navy however, Sularen was only to gather eleven ships whose loyalty to him and his cause could be trusted which would soon be organized into the core of his new starfleet.
Upon establishing his new fleet, Sularen would give it the designation Wraith Squadron, naming it after the naval squadron he commanded three decades ago during the Third Imperial Civil War as a symbol of his defiance to all those who would deny him of his rightful place as the Heir to the Empire. Thus with a proper standing fleet at his disposal, the Warlord of the Empire prepares to embark himself in his grand campaign to consolidate all Imperial elements under his command and wage war on those who shall oppose him.
