Now the ships are VERY well done from a visual standpoint, both in the level of detail as well as the paint schemes they've been given. The only real modification I'm considering is when I get a second B-Wing, I want to try one of the How To's on changing the orientation of the fighter so it's turned 90 degrees into the more iconic attack position from the Return of the Jedi movie. And what is a force in a game system for me if I can't do a bit of fluff for it. So here we are,after a bit of research and some decision making on which species and such I wanted to represent in the force, the Raven Squadron of the New Republic. Now some of the ship varients have a specific pilot name attached to them, so for my fluff purposes, they'll just be a counts as for a pilot of similar skill level, though it won't reflect anything game play wise. Actually, the fluff I've come up with won't really be reflected at all in the game play, but as this is part of the hobby that I really enjoy, I couldn't help myself.
Raven Squadron
During the early years of the fledgling New Republic, a number of fighter squadrons were formed to help combat the numerous warlords and fragmented Imperial remnants. One of these squadrons was Raven Squadron. The unit's first major combat was during the Thrawn campaign where they lost nearly half their strength in one of Thrawn's hit and run raids to make Sluis Van to attack. After rebuilding, they were deployed on anti-pirate patrol on the Assault Frigate Tannenhaus where they gained experience not only against the pirates but various small incursions by Imperial Warlords. Raven Squadron then took part in a supporting role during the Crimson Empire crisis. They were then deployed as part of Admiral Ackbar's fleet to overthrow Warlords Teradoc and Rogriss. Their next major deployment was to the newly formed Fifth Fleet where they took part in the Black Fleet Crisis. Since then, Raven Squadron has been assigned various training and escort missions.
