| White Squadron is the
Alliance's advanced group of pilots whose speciality lies
in assault and escort duties. With the A-Wing's speed and
the B-Wing's firepower, White Squadron is well equipped
for attacking larger Imperial Ships. While undermanned
for attacking the largest convoys, let alone Imperial
Star Destroyers, White Squadron is flexible and adept at
small-scale, precision attacks. White Squadron started out originally as Praying Mantis Squad, an all-female group of elite pilots based aboard the Frigate Mantis, whose speciality lay in heavy assault and orbital bombardments. However, following a disastrous mission against the Imperials, not only were half their fighter complement missing and presumed lost, but the Frigate Mantis was destroyed as well. Details of the mission are still classified and unavailable for review. Due to the heavy losses in pilots, the squadron deemed it necessary to restructure and change its mission statement. In the interests of resuming its battle against the Empire, the squad decided to open its membership to include any qualified pilots interested in joining. Female pilots were far too rare, and the remaining pilots neither wished to disband, nor to take extreme amounts of time in finding only new female qualified pilots.
Likewise, if you are in need of assistance in completing any requirements, feel free to contact one of our members. We will be more than happy to assist you in your training and in furthering the Alliance's cause against the Empire. |
