Squadron History

Theta has a long history in the TIE Corps, predated the records listed below. However, the archives that contain this information are encrypted in cold storage.

Reactivation

Jarek La'an took Command of Theta squadron when it was reactivated in the third month of 22 ABY (March 2014). The squadron was filled with transferred members of Lambda Squadron. In that first year, Theta took first place in Raise the Flag. They continued this tradition for 4 more years, winning RtF through 2018. As the years went on, some of the more veteran players with significant experience in the single player games started moving to the reserves. In 28 ABY (2020), HA Pete Mitchell took command of Theta Squadron. During his tenure, he would see a new generation of pilot join, competitive Squadrons players that originated from a small group of willing pilots called the Cobra TIEs.

Remobilization

In 30 ABY (2022), Vapen Van'an was assigned as Commander of Theta when GN Mitchell stepped down. This solidified Theta's transition to a more multiplayer focused squadron. The squadron never forgot its' roots, still flying the older games, but generally moved toward more PvP and PvE focused. In 31 ABY, when Battlegroup II was expanded with the addition of the ISDII Relentless, pilots from Sigma Squadron moved to Hammer Squadron. After ReMob in 31 ABY, and a brief period aboard the Relentless, the pilots of the new squadron moved back to the Warrior in Theta Squadron.
