The Rebellion had come to the swift realization that their forces were outnumbered greatly and access to newer technology was a rare occurrence in their battles against the Imperial forces. In lieu of such luxuries, reliance on small but efficient Squadrons was a must. A small Squadron made up of twelve Rebel ships piloted by skilled and proven fliers was assembled with the single mission of hunting and exterminating valuable targets including but not limited to well known aces and infamous flying units.
The Scarlet Squadron honed their skills in regular combat missions as well as frequent scenario-based sorties. Unadvertised, those who were marked as having the potential to serve in the Squadron were notified and whisked away if they accepted to a unit hidden behind closed doors and red tape. News of their victories was abundant, losses were never reported; this was an agreeable stipulation to inclusion into this famous unit, whose members were never identified to those within the Rebellion for fear of undue stress and hardship in dealing with popularity.
Their methods were simple; enemy forces would be identified and marked for execution. The choice of vessels employed was left to the unit as a whole, whose exceptional group experience would lead to a plan with the best chance of survival after initial contact. Obviously great pains were taken to ensure all members returned safely, but if need be, ships lost were always detonated to keep the menacing squadron unidentifiable by Imperial forces.
The Squadron colors are Granite, Slate, and Crimson Red. Variations in pattern is normal, and choice of pattern is that of the pilot; colors are not.
