Demon Squadron

From Emperor's Hammer Encyclopaedia Imperia

Demon Squadron was an Escort squadron attached to Wing XI of the ISD-II Immortal. It operated from 2000 until April 2004, when Wing XI and the Immortal were closed.

History

Wing XI and the Immortal were opened in April 1999, but not all squadrons were immediately activated. By 2000, however, Demon Squadron was open and operating under its first commander, Nix.

After a brief month in command, Nix's replacement, Felagund, would in turn be replaced by former commander of Falcon Squadron and former Wing XI Wing Commander, Dras Hempor, giving Demon Squadron a shot of veteran leadership. Dras Hempor would lead the squadron for over four months before taking up a Flight Member spot, although his retirement was ultimately brief - a month later, he would be appointed to Commodore of the Immortal.

His replacement, Roth Jalis, would serve in the role of commander for three months. Around the time of his departure, it was decided to close Vampire Squadron after a failed attempt to get the squadron running and bringing Wing XI up to its full complement of six squadrons. Vampire would be merged into Demon Squadron, with its commander, Nic Rety, taking over. He would only last a month before being replaced by Nakata, an active Lieutenant who had only been in Demon Squadron (and the TIE Corps) for two months at the time of the appointment.

Upon the Immortal's closure, Mosh, Demon's final commander, was given the option to relocate his pilots to any other squadron in the TIE Corps Battlegroups. Being a long-time veteran of the Relentless, Mosh decided to relocate Demon's pilots to Dagger Squadron, placing himself and his pilots under the auspices of his old ship and wing.
