General Outline:

Wolfshead Squadron stresses initiative, flexibility, and the ability to improvise and act independently in its members, and the squadron's requirements are built to emphasize these qualities. The squadron is open to owners of the games X-Wing, TIE Fighter, and X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter. In addition, pilots may also be certified as ground combat ready if they wish by meeting requirements from the games Dark Forces or Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II.

Something important to note: While we're a group for owners of the Lucasarts Star Wars family of games, this "squadron" is not just about raw ability at the games. As a rule, we will take someone with a good personality but mediocre stats over somebody who's a serious top pilot but has an attitude problem. Our primary squad activities tend to run toward the creative side of things--custom missions, "point of view" stories (called "POVs"), and artwork--rather than toward the competitive side--ladders and the like. If you are more into ladders and serious competition, and aren't into writing and reading good stories, this might not be the squadron for you. Check our our "links" page for other squadrons that might be more suited to your tastes.

Mission Statement:

Wolfshead Squadron is unique among starfighter squadrons of the Alliance. The squadron is actually a shared asset between Starfighter Command and Alliance Intelligence, and is not considered a normal combat formation. Wolfshead's primary mission is to serve as a "firefighting" force for the Alliance, and is dispatched by either Starfighter Command or Alliance Intelligence to perform dangerous and precarious missions. To further this end, all members of the Squadron are more than just starfighter pilots. Each adds specialties in other areas, such as tactics, espionage, slicing, communications, or ground combat. The goal is to produce a small, relatively self-contained force that can adapt to a wide variety of missions, both in the cockpit and out.

As befitting its mission, Wolfshead Squadron has more and different equipment than the average fighter squadron. Based onboard the Nebulon B Frigate Wolf's Den, the squadron flies all four of the primary Alliance starfighters (X-, Y-, A-, and B-wings), the Lambda-class armed transport shuttle, and even a modified Skipray Blastboat. For particular missions, the squadron may also be supplied with other
craft--even captured Imperial fighters! The Wolf's Den itself is fitted with
extra communications and eavesdropping equipment.

Applications for membership will be accepted from both CIS (Compuserve Information Services) members and the Internet. The following requirements are to be met for entry into the ranks of Wolfshead Squad.
