COMBAT INFORMATION
Availability: Unique.Deployment: Limited
Strengths & Weaknesses:
Advanced Starfighter (Assault) unit - The focus of this unit in space is primarily as a strike and assault unit, designed to attack larger vessels or stations to provide cover for their landing crafts. The Exalt pilots work to provide an anti-fighter screen for the E-Wings and Missile Boat pilotsAdvanced Special Operations unit - Once at their target, the unit specializes in ranged assault and demolitions. Set up from the Pathfinders of Alliance lore, the Tiburons specialize in hitting targets at range, damaging hardened targets, as well as guerrilla tactics
Insurrection - The Tiburons, under the leadership of Coren Starchaser, have learned tactics from the Underground to set up sleeper cells to undermine the planetary government
Not a superiority unit - The Tiburons are not trained in the traditional concepts of starfighter piloting and focus on specific tasks, and do not always perform well in large combat situations, preferring to take down solo targets and not large fleets
Guerrilla tactics do not make well for regular combat - Against most other units in the galaxy, without the element of surprise, the Tiburons will falter in their combat
Burn Notice - When The Tiburons are launched to a location, they are only delivered with their own fighters, and landing craft, even their corvette Cove will leave system until the situation quiets down, or the team can evacuate the zone without causing further issues. This limits the gear and personnel that they are deployed with and restricts reinforcement
Description: The Tiburons were formed by Coren Starchaser in the early days of the Galactic Alliance. Stemming from Coren's past of working with a strike starfighter wing and his work with the Underground, the Tiburons was created by former mercenaries, traitors and saboteurs. Granted a pocket carrier in the form of a modified corvette, the Tiburons strike hard and fade away. In space, the missile boats, and E-Wings keep a hard target busy from hitting boarding crafts while the Exalts keep the fighters at bay by striking fast and hard. When landed, the SpecOps personnel of the Tiburons work to demolish structures and hardened positions with asymmetrical warfare, or hitting supply lines and troop movements from long range. Their training also allows them to assist in setting up rebel cells on worlds controlled by opposing powers.
