As of July 18th, 2023, Thunder squadron has been deactivated.

Meet the ISDII Challenge, 2009


Sometime before the Ishtari Offensive, Thunder Squadron had achieved what was thought to be the impossible during the Raise The Flag event in 2022. Thunder, known for staying quiet and in the shadows, achieved a 3rd place overall position and top squadron in Battlegroup 3. In the past this was unheard of, but thanks to the efforts of Legion Ordo, Sylas Pitt, Dynamus, Ryuzokin, Grendel, and the rest of the squadron, they achieved Thunder History thought to have never have been possible. This event was also crowned as a stunning victory for a personal goal of Legion Ordo, who at the time was on a desperate crusade to reviving the squadron from old unhealthy habits. The victory had assured him that his mission was complete at long last.
