Falcon Squadron

From Emperor's Hammer Encyclopaedia Imperia

Falcon Squadron was an Heavy Assault squadron attached to Wing XI of the ISD Immortal. It operated from 1999 until around February 2004, when it was closed two months prior to the eventual closure of all squadrons onboard the Immortal.

History

Falcon Squadron was opened on July 1st, 1999 as part of Wing XI and the Immortal, commissioned earlier that same year. Its first commander was Kessian Armus.

Armus would serve in that role for three months, before being replaced by Dras Hempor, a pilot from Phantom Squadron that would go on to serve as Wing XI Wing Commander and as the Immortal Commodore. After four months in the role, Dras Hempor's ascension to Wing Commander opened the door for Arso Slyth, a Falcon Flight Leader who would also one day serve as Wing XI's Wing Commander.

Mottos and Nicknames

Falcon Squadron's mottos and nicknames, by all accounts, remained consistent for the entierity of its existance as a squadron. They were as follows:
