This article is about the Avenger Squadron. For other uses, see Avenger (disambiguation).

Avenger Elite Squadron (AES) was one of the TIE Corps' four special operations squadrons. It is currently decommissioned, and reflagged as Avenger Squadron (Command Detachment) for the temporary affiliation of members of the TIE Corps and Emperor's Hammer Admiralty.

Avenger was based on the VSDII Aggressor and attached to the Aggressor Strike Force. Avenger's primary focus was multiplayer combat. As Avenger Squadron (Command Detachment), it remains assigned to the VSDII Aggressor.

Unit History[edit]

Under research.

The squadron was formed prior to July 22, 1999. It was active until at least August 13, 2005. Before the VSD Aggressor became its home, AES was stationed on the ISD Intrepid.

Avenger Squadron (Honorary)[edit]

COO/RA Crsepe reformed the unit in March 6, 2014 to serve as an honorary squadron of the top 12 Tie Corps pilots each month. Known at the time as Avenger Squadron - The COO's Own, pilots that had the most points at the end of each month were given membership within the honorary unit until the beginning of the next month.

Avenger Squadron (Command Detachment)[edit]

In 28 ABY, Avenger Squadron (Command Detachment) was recommissioned as a unit for otherwise squadron-unaffiliated members of the TIE Corps and Emperor's Hammer Admiralty (Commodores, TIE Corps Command Staff, and Emperor's Hammer Command Staff/Attaches/Imperial Advisors). Affiliation with the squadron is on a temporary and voluntary basis for the duration of specific competitions and events.

In 31 ABY, the TCCOM and SOO were removed from Avenger and placed in Spectre Squadron. The COO was given the option of moving as well but decided to stick with Avenger as its de facto CMDR.

Avenger Black Shirts[edit]

TIE Shadow of AES

The Avenger Black Shirt is an award that is unique to the squadron, with few having earned it even among the elite cadre of pilots that have flown in the squadron.

Earning it requires an extraordinary amount of combat prowess or exceptional service to the squadron. If a pilot, in a single month, completed any of the following four conditions, they would earn the award

  • 100 Combat Rating gain
  • 300 FCHG rating gain
  • 50 Combat Rating gain plus 150 FCHG rating gain
  • 5 IWATS courses plus 30 Combat Rating gain plus 100 FCHG rating gain

Additionally, a Black Shirt could be awarded for services rendered to the squadron that the commander and both flight leaders unanimously agree is worthy of recognition.
