Falcon Squadron

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.

Arso Slyth stepped down to a Flight Member role after three months. His replacement was Sanj, a pilot from Psi Squadron onboard the Sovereign. Sanj would serve as Squadron Commander for seven months before returning to Psi, the longest time of any commander to date. But that record would soon be shattered by his replacement: Darksaber.

An active Falcon pilot before, Darksaber would go on lead Falcon Squadron for over ten months before ascending to the Wing XI Wing Commander position and, later, Immortal Commodore. Not only would he go down as Falcon's longest tenured commander, but arguably led Falcon during its most successful period, leading the squadron to an award as Immortal Commodore's Own in May 2001 and TIE Corps Battlegroups Squadron of the Month in April 2001.

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:

• Squadron Nickname: Birds of Prey

• Flight I Nickname: The Quartet of Deliverance
• Flight I Motto: Now is the death of doers of wrong.
