OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION:

GENERAL INFORMATION:
  • Unit Name: First Scouting Squadron
  • Affiliation:
  • Classification: Elite Naval Vanguard Taskforce
  • Description: Commanded by Captain Charles, First Scouting Squadron represents an all-male brotherhood spread over 34 ships. They are identifiable by the First Scouting Squadron insignia worn on their left shoulder, the most prized possession on their uniform. Charles has instilled in every level of command the mindset of Thrawn: precise, methodical, never wasteful, action oriented. They communicate faster than any official system because they have been operating together long enough to not need words for most of it. One notable member is Hannah Charles, the only female of First Scouting Squadron and Captain Charles’s wife. Identifiable by a black shield patch with a white skull.

      • 1,600 Aboard the Vengeance Class Cruisers (200 per)
      • 80 Aboard the Interdictor Class Cruiser
  • Combat Function: Serving as the premier Naval Vanguard of the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant the First Scouting Squadron is capable of conducting a variety of military and force projection operations throughout the galaxy. Missions include: Scouting, Recon in Force, Commerce Raiding, Screening Actions, Mainline Fleet Action, Peace Keeping Ops, and Show of Force Ops. Its most important role is defending Castillon.
  • Force Abilities: None.
STRENGTHS:
  • “Combined Arms” - every ship, every company, every member of the Squadron has a role to play allowing for excellent coordination and performance even under extreme pressure. The Squadron’s tight knit nature, good instincts from training and ATLAS systems help with this.
  • “Fight Smarter” - every member of the squadron is mentally and physically prepared to fight to the death if necessary to complete the mission. However, they are tactical not fanatical. Damaged ships will pull out of the line, Marine units will fall back if they believe they cannot win, everything is done with a purpose.
  • “Damage Control” - every member of the squadron is trained in basic fire and damage control techniques even if they are not necessarily a part of the damage control teams or engineers.
  • “Divide and Conquer" - although the squadron can serve as a part of the main battle line that is not their main purpose. They would rather use their speed and maneuverability to fight on their own terms.

WEAKNESSES:
  • “Irreplaceable” - every ship and member of First Scouting are one of a kind making them any casualties difficult to replace.
  • “Attrition Battles” - the squadron fights best when it can use their speed and maneuverability to control the the pace and range of the engagement. If an enemy force can force them into a static slugging match their main tactical advantage will be negated.
  • “Limited Numbers” - despite being an elite force, First Scouting Squadron is still just a squadron. If an enemy force can bring overwhelming numbers to bear they can be defeated.
  • Hannah Charles - the presence of Captain Charles’s wife onboard the flagship (the Stryker II) creates a potential vulnerability. Every member of First Scouting Squadron knows she is Charles’s wife and would drop anything to protect her if necessary.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION:
A relatively new unit, not much is known about First Scouting Squadron. Even its composition is unfamiliar to those who are outside of the right circles. Some operations are well known such as Charles’s victory over three Prosperity Class Cruisers in his original ship, that Arquitens Class Command Cruiser, the MIN Stryker or its defense role in protecting Castillon. But besides that not much else is known as many of its operations are classified.

So your submission looks mostly good, but I'm going to need a little bit of editing with the strengths and weaknesses before I can move this through to approval.

I ask that you please expand the Strengths section to explain what the squadron's elite training allows them to actually do in combat and PvP scenarios. At the moment, 'Elite' mainly explains how they were selected, their training, and that they share a strong bond with one another - but this doesn't paint a picture for what their actual abilities are when they work together in a pvp scenario. For example, they might be extremely coordinated, or they're good at protecting each other / and or damaged ships during combat to make sure everyone makes it out alive, they're trained in survival/search and rescue if they are downed. They know boarding operations and/or counter boarding operations - things like that.

Then for your second strength, you have "Extremely Loyal", which goes on to explain their strong bond and that they like each other, look out for one another, etc. but this reads more like something you would put on a characters profile and not really what we want when looking for strengths on a potential PVP unit in the Codex.

Please also expand the weaknesses so they describe more of the practical limitations or vulnerabilities that could meaningfully affect them during PvP. You can leave that they are rare, and the personal loyalty aspect to Hannah Charles and the captain, but we still need more of how someone could knock them out of commission. Such as, Ion and EMP vulnerabilities, sensor disruptions, gravity-well limitations, etc.

Let me know when you have made the changes!
