Infiltrator Wing Guard
Prologue
"We pledge our lives, our honor, and our families to the glory of the Empire. We are aware that at any time our lives may be taken, but we fear not, for we know that our sacrifice will not have been in vain.
Our duty is to uphold the edicts of the Galactic Empire, to neutralize by whatever means necessary those who oppose that order, and to maintain our sacred honor..."
--The Oath of the Guardsman
Description
The IW Guard is tasked not only with protection of the entire Infiltrator Wing, but also works on Deep Infiltration special operations when the IW is in no position to achieve a required goal or the mission is designed as an extremely
difficult and dangerous one, as well as any other service it may be required to accomplish.
The IW Guard operates on X-wing vs TIE Fighter and X-Wing Alliance flight platforms for the Guardsman. It is no easy task to become a Guardsman, but the rewards and respect a Guardsman enjoys are great indeed.
The Guardsmen receive special IW Guard only medals and other privileges such as IW Guard only competitions against other STAR WARS clubs, which are regularly organized by the Captain of the Guard. Since the IW Guard is the cream of the IW, it is the unit that commonly represents the IW in online engagements against non-IW groups and organizations.
History
The original Infiltrator Wing Elite Guard was founded under the command of the War Marshal von Reinthaler years ago. It was an elitstic organization of exceptional pilots flying experimental new platforms, mainly X-wing vs TIE Fighter.
With the end of the von Reinthaler era, the Infiltrator Wing suffered substantial decadence, and eventually it faded away.
Years later, a pilot returned home from his long exile. Echelon Marshal NiksaVel had left the IW shortly after the end of the von Reinthaler era, having spent all his resources trying to hold the IW together and then finally giving up.
After wandering the galaxy for years trying to find his destiny he was finally at it, approaching the vast hanger of the MC-60 Warhammer, the flagship of the Infiltrator Wing. Back home.
A new generation of the Elite Guard was soon formed, and the first Commander of the Guard and founder of the Second Order was Rear Admiral NiksaVel who has in turn placed Commander Hobbie in charge of the Guard.
Shortly after Commander Hobbie restarted the Guard he was seriously wounded in a particularly dangerous mission. This injury forced Commander Hobbie to step down as Captain of the Guard.
COL Dolza petitioned Admiral NiksaVel for permission to take over and continue with the Guards' so vitally important role in the IW. Now began the third order of the Guard.
With the resignation of the now, General Dolza, the Elite Guard almost became extinct, the IW Command Staff, led by the Elite Guard's biggest proponent, Line Admiral Gavin Strongarm,
decided to hand control of the Elite Guard over to an up and coming Infiltrator Wing Officer, Commander Mad Hatter. Although the 'Elite' branding was removed from the Guard,
it still holds all the aspects of the origional Guard formed so long ago. Once again, ' VICTORY WILL BE OURS.'
It came the time for Brigadier Mad Hatter to furthur his career with the IW on a broader level. He had been assigned as the IW Training Officer, to continue to develop the IW by molding its cadets into pure fighting machines.
The quest for the new Captain had begun, and one officer in particular stood out. A dedicated IW Officer and Guardsman, and having served in the Guard as BRG Hatter's right hand man,
Lieutenant Colonel Orzon was the most appropriate selection. A new light has been shined upon the Guard, and it is now LC Orzon's duty to lead them to glory.
