OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
  • Unit Name: Inferno Squadron
  • Affiliation: Commander Isla Sable / Shadow Wing
  • Classification: Black Ops / Elite Infantry
  • Description: Inferno Squadron is a terrifying sight on the battlefield. Its operatives are clad in distinctive gloss-black armor with deep crimson accents, a deliberate homage to the legendary Imperial unit of the same name, designed to evoke fear. Their unit emblem is a stylized, burning Phoenix, symbolizing their rebirth from the ashes of the Galactic Alliance's failures. The unit's mindset is one of grim, fanatical determination, driven by a shared belief in Commander Sable's ideology and a deep-seated resentment for the systems they believe betrayed them. They are silent, professional, and utterly ruthless.
COMBAT INFORMATION
  • Unit Size: Small (The core unit consists of approximately 30 operatives, organized into specialized fire-teams)
  • Unit Availability: Unique (There is only one Inferno Squadron. Members are handpicked and irreplaceable assets due to their specialized training and indoctrination.)
  • Unit Experience: Elite
  • Equipment:
    • Custom Black and Crimson Inferno Squadron Armor
    • DC-15A Blaster Rifles
    • SE-44C Blaster Pistols
    • A variety of specialized equipment for demolition, slicing, and infiltration.
    • HRD Unit IX-B "Aura" for advanced slicing and secure communications.
  • Combat Function: Inferno Squadron functions as a surgical strike force. They are not a frontline garrison unit. Their tactics are built around precision and psychological warfare. Typically, Shadow Wing's TIE fighters will first establish air superiority and create chaos. Inferno Squadron then deploys to exploit this chaos, often infiltrating behind enemy lines to eliminate leadership, destroy key infrastructure, or capture high-value targets. They specialize in urban warfare and close-quarters battle, leveraging their elite training to overwhelm opponents quickly and brutally. They are the spearhead, designed to break an enemy's will as much as their defenses.
Strengths:
  • Terrifying Efficiency: As an elite unit, Inferno Squadron operatives are experts in their respective fields—from direct assault to stealth infiltration. They operate with a cold, coordinated precision that makes them far more dangerous than the sum of their parts.
  • Unbreakable Morale: The unit is bound by fanatical loyalty to Commander Isla Sable and a shared ideology. They are highly resistant to psychological warfare, intimidation, or surrender, fighting to the last breath to complete their mission.
Weaknesses:
  • Low Strategic Value: As a unique, elite unit, every casualty is a significant and irreplaceable loss. They cannot be risked in protracted, large-scale battles of attrition where their specialized skills offer little advantage.
  • Predictable Ruthlessness: Their reliance on overwhelming force and psychological terror can make their actions predictable to a cunning opponent. An adversary who understands their need to make a brutal statement can potentially lure them into a prepared trap.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Inferno Squadron is the personal recreation of Commander Isla Sable, forged in the aftermath of the Fall of Coruscant. Witnessing the Galactic Alliance's catastrophic failure defending it and the Core, Sable resolved to build a force free from such weakness. The unit's foundation was laid when Sable, opportunistically scavenging the ruins, discovered the broken body of Sergeant Jaxa Korvin, a GA Marine left to die. Sable rescued her, and through meticulous manipulation, transformed Korvin's despair and rage into fanatical loyalty, rebranding her as "Vex."

Sable then resurrected the infamous "Inferno Squadron" moniker, weaponizing its legacy of fear. She populated the unit with other broken, disillusioned, or ruthlessly ambitious individuals: a dispassionate assassin, an amoral medic, a loyal Shistavanen warrior, and a cunning Twi'lek shock trooper. Each was chosen for their unique skills and molded to fit Sable's vision.

Based aboard the Ecliptic Blade, Inferno Squadron serves as the ground-based extension of Sable's will. They are more than soldiers; they are apostles of her philosophy, proving through action that sentiment and compromise are fatal flaws. Their campaigns are as much about psychological destruction as physical victory, leaving behind scenes of calculated brutality intended to demoralize all who oppose Shadow Wing. They are the living embodiment of Sable's promise: to purge the galaxy through annihilation.
