OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Description:
First Order:
Tempest Squadron was created by Karl Von Strauss himself following the creating of the awesome Duchess-Class HSD. He wanted the best squadron of fighter pilots and fighters to be available to him. So he chose veterans, that were under him during the second battle of Skor II in order to be in this squadron. He used some of his influence, not that he had much in the first place, to get a squadron of eight TIE/D Defenders for this squadron. He also had them customized, he accented them with a bright orange. Their insignia is the First Order insignia with the same orange instead of red. Their flight suits are also accented with the same orange upon the helmet and suit.
Outer Rim, Pirate Hunting:
After leaving with the Von Strauss twins (Ericka and Karl) before the collapse of the First Order, they followed where the Duchess went. At the time it was the outer rim, bordering the unknown regions. To make a living and to support the troops Karl and Ericka offered their military expertise up for mercenary contracts. This mostly meant stalking and taking out pirates. For forty-two years, Tempest Squadron served faithfully, unfortunately during this time many good pilots were lost, such as Major Von Marxson III, the current leader, Sofia's dad. She kept up the values of her father, not taking the lead but giving it to the Captain and climbing up the ranks with time. Eventually, when deemed appropriate, Tempest Squadron was put under the command of Karl's son, Augustus. Upon ending this portion of Tempest's history, Sofia had become Tempest One, Carrying on where her father had left off.
Empire of the Lost:
Sofia, the leadership of Tempest Squadron, and Augustus were the driving force behind getting Karl to agree to join the Empire of the Lost. Once joined they learned that the Starfighter Corp had been dissolved into the Navy to reduce friction. This meant that most of their ranks had to be changed, which caused some embarrassing incidents. The best example is correcting a higher-up of Sofia's old rank and that flight officer getting chewed out for about two minutes. Since then, they've been upgraded with the newly designed TIE/DL and the EOTL's standard uniforms and equipment.

- Unit Size: Small
- Unit Availability: Unique
- Unit Experience: Veteran (Tempest 5-8) - Elite (Tempest 1-4)
- Equipment:
- Combat Function: They are a close-knit starfighter squadron, they've trained upwards of years with each other and completely trust one another. Mainly they are used as an interceptor squadron to splash targets during battles. They trust one another with their lives.
- Strengths:
- Interceptor Bomber: The TIE/DL is a multirole starfighter, specifically being an advanced interceptor and a light bomber when needed.
- Deflector Shields: The TIE/DL like its predecessor has a shield system allowing for it to take damage while dishing it out.
- High Mobility: The TIE/DL is fast and maneuverable, possibly taking advantage on slower ships within its tier.
- Veterans: Tempest Squadron has been serving the Von Strauss family since its conception and has had veterans from serving in the First Order teaching its newbies.
- Weaknesses:
- Fragile Upon Depletion: The TIE/DL like its predecessor, without its shields is, like any other non-shielded TIE model, fragile. Will probably blow up in one to two hits.
- Draining: The power supply gets drained very quickly when firing the masercannons and ion cannons. Once depleted, it will begin to take power from other systems, ending with the AI unit.
