- Crew Name: Inferno Squadron
- Crew Type: Special Operations Unit / Elite Ground Assault Team
- Base of Operations: The Ecliptic Blade (Shadow Wing Command Ship)
- Crew Size: 5 (Defined Notable Members; the full squadron consists of ~30 operatives)
- Loyalties: Commander Isla Sable
- Description: Inferno Squadron is the resurrected ground-force arm of Shadow Wing, a black-ops commando unit designed to strike fear into the hearts of their enemies. Clad in menacing black and crimson armor, they are experts in urban warfare, sabotage, and psychological operations. Their tactics are born from the trauma of the galactic capital's fall, specializing in isolating and annihilating targets with brutal efficiency. They are the personal instrument of Commander Isla Sable's will, the "Fist" to Shadow Wing's "Talon."
- Name: Jaxa "Vex" Korvin
- Age: Late 20s
- Species: Human
- Role: Field Commander of Inferno Squadron. Directs tactical ground operations and leads from the front.
- Languages: Basic
- Description: The foundation upon which Inferno Squadron was built. A former Galactic Alliance Marine commando left to die during the Fall of Coruscant, she was pulled from the rubble by a opportunistic Isla Sable, who saw a skilled soldier who could be useful. This chance rescue, followed by Sable's masterful manipulation, forged Vex into a fanatically loyal weapon. She believes the Galactic Alliance's weakness is a cancer that must be purged. Her armor incorporates a scorched piece of her old GA gear, a permanent reminder of her "rebirth." She is grim, relentless, and utterly devoted to Isla Sable.
- Name: Doctor Elara "Seraph" Vesper
- Age: Early 30s
- Species: Human
- Role: Combat Medic & Biochemical Specialist.
- Languages: Basic, Bacta, Binary (Medical Droid)
- Description: Elara is the unsettling paradox of Inferno Squadron. With a graceful, almost ethereal demeanor and a perpetually calm, soothing voice, she appears more suited to a medcenter than a battlefield. This ultra-feminine facade masks a chillingly pragmatic and dangerous mind. A former GA medical officer disillusioned by bureaucratic limits, she was recruited by Sable who offered her unlimited resources to pursue her unique medical interests. She keeps the squad alive with brilliant skill, but her true passion is designing neurotoxins and debilitating agents. She views the body as a system to be repaired or dismantled with equal detachment.
- Name: "Krait" (Real name classified)
- Age: Unknown (estimated early 30s)
- Species: Human
- Role: Sniper & Stealth Infiltration Specialist.
- Languages: Basic, Silent Shadow (specialized hand signals)
- Description: A former Imperial Intelligence assassin who survived the fall of the Empire and drifted through the criminal underworld. Sable recruited him for his unparalleled skills in long-range elimination and silent kills. Krait is a ghost; quiet, patient, and utterly detached. He shows no emotion, viewing his targets as mere objectives. He is loyal to Sable because she provides him with a clear purpose and high-value targets, satisfying his professional cravings.
- Name: Raska "Breach" Vor
- Age: Late 30s
- Species: Shistavanen
- Role: Heavy Weapons & Assault Specialist.
- Languages: Basic, Shistavinen
- Description: A hulking, wolf-like Shistavanen whose keen senses and raw strength make him a terrifying force in close-quarters combat. Like many of his species, he has a deep-seated pack mentality. After his original mercenary pack was betrayed and wiped out, he was adrift until Isla Sable offered him a new one. He is fiercely loyal to Inferno Squadron, which he sees as his new pack. He is less articulate but highly intelligent in a tactical sense, communicating often with low growls and guttural commands. He respects strength and loyalty above all else.
- Name: Nara "Rampart" Keth
- Age: Mid 20s
- Species: Twi'lek (Lethan)
- Role: Shock Trooper & Vehicle Specialist.
- Languages: Basic, Ryl, Huttese
- Description: Nara is tough as nails, with a cybernetic right arm and a scar across her lekku that she wears as a badge of honor. A former enforcer for a minor cartel on Nar Shaddaa, she was renowned for her ability to pilot or drive anything under fire. She joined Shadow Wing after they raided her cartel; impressed by her defiance and skill even in defeat, Jaxa Vex offered her a choice: die a thug or become a soldier with a purpose. Nara chose the latter. She is aggressive, cynical, and an expert behind the wheel or controls of any vehicle, from speeder bikes to assault tanks. She provides the squadron's mobile punch and thrives in the chaos of high-speed assaults.
The rebuilt Shadow Wing rose from the ashes of the Galactic Alliance's failure during the Fall of Coruscant, spearheaded by the disillusioned Commander Isla Sable. Returning from a patrol too late to save the capital, Sable witnessed the collapse firsthand. Her fighter damaged, she was forced to land in the chaos. It was there, amidst the rubble, that she stumbled upon the critically injured form of Sergeant Jaxa Korvin, a GA commando left for dead. Seeing a potential asset, Sable pulled the soldier from the wreckage.
This opportunistic rescue became the seed of Inferno Squadron. Sable nurtured Jaxa's bitterness and rage, twisting it into fanatical loyalty. She then expanded the unit, resurrecting the infamous "Inferno Squadron" moniker and its iconic black-and-crimson armor to weaponize its legacy of fear. She populated it with a handpicked cadre of uniquely dangerous individuals: Elara Vesper, a brilliant but amoral medic; "Krait," a dispassionate assassin; Raska Vor, a loyal Shistavanen warrior; and Nara Keth, a gritty Twi'lek shock trooper. Based aboard the Ecliptic Blade, Inferno Squadron now serves as Shadow Wing's ground-force fist, a living testament to Sable's philosophy that strength must purge weakness. Their loyalty is to her will alone.
