A [[Battle Team]] within [[House Galeres]] of [[Clan Arcona]]
A [[Battle Team|Battleteam]] within [[House Galeres]] of [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]]. Specializing in space combat and counteroffensive tactics, the former Elite Battleteam was recently dissolved back into the Arcona Expeditionary Force after close to four years of admirable service to both Galeres and Arcona.


==History==


Blue Mist is a fairly new Battleteam, created to serve Galeres around the time that the Dark Inquisitors, a House Qel-Droma Battleteam, was installed within Clan Arcona. Blue Mist is the second Battle Team for House Galeres, the other being [[Soulfire_Strike_Team|Soulfire Strike Team]], the Elite Team of Arcona. The team is still new but is on the rise. Blue Mist has recently been named the Elite Battleteam of Arcona due to their victory in the Great Hunt II.


==Campaigns==
== History  ==
Blue Mist was a fairly new Battleteam, created to serve Galeres around the time that the Dark Inquisitors, a House Qel-Droma Battleteam, was installed within Clan Arcona. Blue Mist was the second Battle Team for House Galeres, the other being [[Soulfire Strike Team]], the Elite Team of Arcona. At the time of its closing, the Battleteam had been serving Arcona for nearly half a decade, earning the title of "Battleteam Elite" in the process.


==  Missions  ==
Generally, the missions for Blue Mist Squadron can be categorized as: Attack, Defense, and Reconnaissance.
===  Attack  ===
The primary purpose of attack missions is to eliminate enemy starfighter presence. Intercept, target and hunt down enemy starfighters as fast and as many as possible, utilizing both known and homemade techniques such as dog-fights, torpedo twirls, Jafit Jams, and Talos Takedowns. This type of mission is best known as search-and-destroy/secure.
The secondary purpose is to guard an attacking force, such as a bomber squadron that is assigned by naval command to attack/destroy/disable a key target. Here, Blue Mist pilots act as guardians of the bomber flight, taking down any enemy fighters who attempt to intercept and destroy the bombers so they can concentrate more on accomplishing their mission than having to worry about "watching their sixes", as the term goes.
===  Defense  ===
A fighter pilot's nightmare. The primary purpose is to defend the home fleet or space platform against a major assault from Clan enemies, which can be done by shooting down incoming torpedoes/missiles, taking out enemy snubfighters or bombers, and acting as diversionary, expendable targets. The best defense is a delaying tactic to allow as many personnel and  equipment as possible to evacuate or until reinforcements can aide Blue Mist.
Included in defense missions is escorting an important mobile asset (a ship or a convoy). The squadron is dedicated to protecting that asset, its cargo usually being Clan Summit or prototype weaponry, at all costs. Mist Pilots ensure that the asset can travel safely to the desired point without any interruption. Any enemy fighters encountered along the way are engaged as soon as they are spotted. However, if the enemy decides to retreat, the escort squadron will only chase down the enemies a short distance before returning to a defensive position near the escorted asset.
===  Reconnaissance  ===
These missions are generally passive observation missions in which starfighters may shadow a known enemy location, monitor traffic, estimating strength, and relaying information to Clan Arcona. If discovered, the pilots will do their best to escape, more often than not destroying any sort of base or refueling platform that they used during the mission. In no case should the pilots allow themselves to be detained and if they are shot down, pilots are expected to call on their black-ops training to evade capture. Recon missions are not considered cakewalks and are often the lowest-action but most important missions that Blue Mist undertook.

==  Vehicles of Blue Mist ==


===30 ABY===
=== Space  ===
*Former [[Aedile]]s [[Talos Vyranius d'Tana]] and [[Tirano Yamayura]] are made the Flight Leaders of Blue Mist.
Blue Mist was given twelve [[StarWars:A-9 Vigilance interceptor|A-9 Vigilance Interceptors]] to use in space battles. Simple cockpit controls makes the A-9 an easy fighter to learn. While faster than the TIE Interceptor, it has a weaker hull due to deliberate design choices made to reduce mass. Thanks to independent power generators, however, the weapons system is quite powerful for a ship of its size.


*New Symbol Chosen for the Battleteam.
The A-9 is armed with two laser cannons, mounted in a structure on the ventral side of the fuselage. They are fire-linked and aimed forward in their standard configuration, but several modifications exist which allows the gun to pivot 90 degrees down to perform strafing runs, as well as allowing the cannons to be independently targeted. These cannons are more powerful than those of a T-65 X-wing starfighter, which has also come as a surprise to most enemies fighting this little, yet powerful ship.  And in the hands of a Dark Jedi, it is a force to be reckoned with.


*The Summit Guard Detachment is approved and formed within Blue Mist.
For Apprentices and Novices, they are given "stock" or standard A-9 Vigilance Interceptor with no modification at all. But as they progress to their next rank, optional upgrades and modifications are available. Acolytes and Protectors can upgrade the standard avionic and sensor systems to the advanced ones, while Guardians and Jedi Hunters, besides the advanced avionic and sensor system upgrade, are allowed to upgrade to advanced navigation and targeting system. The Commander can have all the upgrades and modifications which are listed below:


== The Summit Guard ==
{{quote|From here on, let is be known that Blue Mist will serve as the Summit of House Galeres protectors in these disturbing times. Henceforth, they shall be known as the '''Summit Guard'''|[[Orv Dessrx d'Tana]] to the populace of [[House Galeres]]}}
With the [[Ninth Great Jedi War]] fast approaching, the newly minted Summit of House Galeres called upon the [[Commander]] of Blue Mist, [[JScumm]], to draft up a proposal for a Guard for the Summit. JS assigned this task to his Flight Leader, [[Talos Vyranius d'Tana]].


TO BE CONTINUED
* Standard (APP - NOV)
* Advanced Avionic and Sensor system (ACO - PRT)
* Advanced Navigation and Targeting system (GRD - JH)
* Modified Engine - reinforced quadanium plating (DJK or above/FL)

==Armory==
=== Ground  ===
[[File:BLUE_MISTSpeederbike.jpg|thumb|117px|left|The Blue Mist Speederbike]]
The Battleteam was given twelve Aratech speederbikes for when the Cavalry takes to the ground. They are capable of reaching speeds up to and beyond five hundred kilometers per hour, and have a flight ceiling of twenty-five meters. They are controlled by handlebars located towards the front of the vehicle, and foot pedals slung underneath adjusted speed and altitude.


===Blue Mist Flight Suits===
The highly maneuverable vehicles are equipped with sensor and communications devices located between the handlebars, including a comlink-jamming device. They are armed with a forward rotating blaster cannon for combat.
[[Image:TIEpilotObelisk.jpg|thumb|150px|Blue Mist Flight Suit]]
The basic Flight Suit for Battleteam Blue Mist, this suit is nearly identical to the TIE pilots of the Empire. The suit is all black with blue trim and has the basic utility belt that holds a standard issue pilot's blaster pistol and a clip for lightsabers. The life support pack, however as been upgraded and can assist a downed pilot in the vacuum of space for just about an hour.


===Blue Mist Scout Armor===
They were also equipped with a very powerful boost that could propel them over vast distances in a shorter amount of time.
In the air they are [[Clan Arcona]]s flying arm...on the ground they serve as advanced scouts and are equipped as such. Recently, Proconsul [[Sashar Kodiak Erinos]] purchased eight sets of Camo Scout Armor, each costing about 6,000 Galactic Credits each. The armor is usually matte black but the true magic of the armor is a camo generator. The Camo Generator (CamGen) is equipped with many camo 'shades', that with the push of the proper button, changes the armor to that color.  


'''Camo Shades'''
*Forest
*Artic
*Magma
*Urban
*Midnight
*Ocean
*Desert


'''Armor Specifications'''
<div style="clear:both"></div>


Besides the camo generator, the armor is very durable and protective and is equipped with other gadgets that help the Scouts perform to the best of their ability.
==  Base of Operations  ==
The Battleteam did not have a base to call their own. However, Blue Mist occupied, and continues to do so today, the House Galeres flagship [[BAC Darkest Night]] along with the rest of the House. The Team docks their ships within the wide hangar and they have their own set of barracks and conference room as well as a small lounge and storage room that they have converted into an armory. Finally a small room off the armory serves as the Commander's personal office.


*Armor Plating- The armor plates are very durable, made of toughened duraplast and plasteel. The armor has vibro-blades in both gauntlets, activated with a 'nudge' from the Force or a button on the inside of the gauntlet.


*Helmet- The helmet is matte black with a flared jaw section, a dispersal-gas-proof-filter and the visor is a single shallow V-band of toughened duraplast. The real key feature of is visor camera. The camera is in the visor and is equipped with a recorder that can send back up to 2 hours of video that can be beamed back to headquarters. The camera can also mark up to 5 targets and identify targets in the order that they should be taken down which can be sent back to HQ or to the other Scouts.


===Blue Mist Ceremonial Armor===
== Ranks, Titles and Awards  ==
[[Image: SenComm.jpg|thumb|left|From Left to Right: [[Tirano Yamayura]], [[JScumm]], and [[Talos Vyranius d'Tana]]]]
Taken from the layout of the old Senate Commando's armor, this armor is used for ceremonial purposes only, such as Clan-wide gatherings, House meetings, and other things. The armor is a full suit with an enlarged right pauldron bearing the crest of Blue Mist Squadron. The helmet is a regular variant with a black 'V' shaped visor and with a small ridge on the top, adding to the effect of the armor. This armor can also be worn instead of the Blue Mist Flight Suit, but only one member, [[Talos Vyranius d'Tana|Talos]], does so.


The Ceremonial Armor has also been upgraded and enhanced over time, making it extremely protective but also flexible.
===  Ranks  ===
In a crusade to make the Battleteam more enjoyable, Commander JScumm created a fictional rank structure, like the Military one.  


===N'gant Carbine Rifle===
'''*Taken from Wookiepedia'''


The 9118 was a heavy carbine design manufactured by the Rodian owned N'Gant-Zarvel corporation. Sporting a short barrel, the weapon was known for its ease of use, stopping power and exceptional range (for a carbine). This carbine saw its primary use in the field as the preferred service weapon of special forces and guerilla fighters, despite the loud, trademarked ''thumping'' sound it produced when it was fired. Blue Mist has attached a silencer to lessen the noise produced and also helps supress the flash from the blaster bolt.
* Flight Cadet (APP - NOV)
* Flight Officer (ACO - PRT)
* Lieutenant (GRD - JH)
* Captain (DJK or above/Flight Leader)
* Commander (BTL)
NOTE: The ranks are purely fictional and have no standing outside the Battleteam and likewise should not be used outside Battleteam business. These ranks hold no power within House Galeres or the rest of the Brotherhood.


===Verpine Shatter Gun===
'''*Taken from Wookiepedia'''
[[Image: Shatter pistol.jpg|thumb|The Verpine Shatter Pistol]]
Verpine shatter guns were handheld projectile weapons produced by the Verpine. They ranged in size from small handguns to powerful sniper rifles. The weapon was based on a magnetic coil principle, similar to a rail gun. When shot, the weapon would make no sound, but would cause great kinetic damage.


Shatter guns launched metal alloy projectiles using advanced magnetic coils. They were nearly silent, had excellent range and accuracy, and inflicted extremely large amounts of kinetic damage. Unfortunately, they were expensive to obtain and easy to damage. Verpine shatter guns were easy to use, and an inexperienced gunman could do massive damage with a single projectile.


The weapon's projectiles were nearly impossible to block with a lightsaber due to their small size and extreme speed
===  Title  ===
'''Ace of Blue Mist'''


Shatter guns could be configured for range, making them a very effective sniper or could be built as a pistol. Talos has designed a sleeker design for the weapon, taking away its clunky shape and making to easier to conceal, easier to use and prettier to look at.


===Lightsaber===
Over a time period, Commander of Blue Mist Squadron will award the title Ace of Blue Mist to the members of Blue Mist Squadron who have demonstrated superior activity, dedication, and desire to the battleteam.


If displayed on dossier. The ceremonial weapon of the Battleteam is the Warlord Hilt with a blue blade. However, [[Dark Jedi Knight]]s and above can customize their weapons to their liking and the Armory Hilt wielders can pick the blade color of their choosing.

These cannons are more powerful than those of a T-65 X-wing starfighter, which has also come as a surprise to most enemies fighting this little, yet powerful ship.  And in the hands of a Dark Jedi, it is a force to be reckoned with.

"Oriens Coactum - The Rising Force"
― Blue Mist motto


A Battleteam within House Galeres of Clan Arcona. Specializing in space combat and counteroffensive tactics, the former Elite Battleteam was recently dissolved back into the Arcona Expeditionary Force after close to four years of admirable service to both Galeres and Arcona.


History

Blue Mist was a fairly new Battleteam, created to serve Galeres around the time that the Dark Inquisitors, a House Qel-Droma Battleteam, was installed within Clan Arcona. Blue Mist was the second Battle Team for House Galeres, the other being Soulfire Strike Team, the Elite Team of Arcona. At the time of its closing, the Battleteam had been serving Arcona for nearly half a decade, earning the title of "Battleteam Elite" in the process.


Missions

Generally, the missions for Blue Mist Squadron can be categorized as: Attack, Defense, and Reconnaissance.


Attack

The primary purpose of attack missions is to eliminate enemy starfighter presence. Intercept, target and hunt down enemy starfighters as fast and as many as possible, utilizing both known and homemade techniques such as dog-fights, torpedo twirls, Jafit Jams, and Talos Takedowns. This type of mission is best known as search-and-destroy/secure.

The secondary purpose is to guard an attacking force, such as a bomber squadron that is assigned by naval command to attack/destroy/disable a key target. Here, Blue Mist pilots act as guardians of the bomber flight, taking down any enemy fighters who attempt to intercept and destroy the bombers so they can concentrate more on accomplishing their mission than having to worry about "watching their sixes", as the term goes.


Defense

A fighter pilot's nightmare. The primary purpose is to defend the home fleet or space platform against a major assault from Clan enemies, which can be done by shooting down incoming torpedoes/missiles, taking out enemy snubfighters or bombers, and acting as diversionary, expendable targets. The best defense is a delaying tactic to allow as many personnel and equipment as possible to evacuate or until reinforcements can aide Blue Mist.

Included in defense missions is escorting an important mobile asset (a ship or a convoy). The squadron is dedicated to protecting that asset, its cargo usually being Clan Summit or prototype weaponry, at all costs. Mist Pilots ensure that the asset can travel safely to the desired point without any interruption. Any enemy fighters encountered along the way are engaged as soon as they are spotted. However, if the enemy decides to retreat, the escort squadron will only chase down the enemies a short distance before returning to a defensive position near the escorted asset.


Reconnaissance

These missions are generally passive observation missions in which starfighters may shadow a known enemy location, monitor traffic, estimating strength, and relaying information to Clan Arcona. If discovered, the pilots will do their best to escape, more often than not destroying any sort of base or refueling platform that they used during the mission. In no case should the pilots allow themselves to be detained and if they are shot down, pilots are expected to call on their black-ops training to evade capture. Recon missions are not considered cakewalks and are often the lowest-action but most important missions that Blue Mist undertook.


Campaigns

Cian Campaign (NC)
The first mission of Battleteam Blue Mist under the command of Lieutenant Commander Talos d'Tana.
Results: Commander suffered medium injuries; No men killed in action; Campaign success rate at 98%.
Broken Saber
Clan responds to Soulfire Strike Teams distress call on the planet of Reecee. Longest campaign of Blue Mist with no substantial injuries. Final results are unknown but extraction of Soulfire and their mission objective was confirmed as completed. Blue Mist's rate of succes at an impressive 95%.
House Feud
Galeres and Qel-Droma battle for the title of First House. Galeres triumphs and is named first House. Two of Blue Mist men, Talos and Legorii, earn places in the Galeres Troika. Talos as the Adjunct and Legorii as the Prodigy.
Results: No men injured or killed; Trooper Illian Syn shot down. Blue Mist success rate reaches 100% for the first time.
Rishi (NC)
Blue Mist is deployed to Rishi to help subjugate areas in the name of House Galeres. During the mission, a mysterious group of Force-Wielders attack Blue Mist. The campaign lasts nearly five months, in which Blue Mist pilots train with Rishi Commandos in black-ops and counteroffensive techniques.
Results: No men injured or killed; Blue Mist leads a rebellion against the Highlanders and are established as honorary members of the Rishi Commandos and receive special training. Success rate drops down to 85% however, due to LCDR d'Tana and his pilots putting the identity of Clan Arcona at risk and being out-of-contact for half a year.
Selen
Blue Mist are fielded as Advanced Recon Scouts and destroy key legions of Vong and help establish small footholds of power for the eventual reclaimation of Dajorra. In the end, Blue Mist causes a massive avalanche that destroys a Legion of Yuuzhan Vong and to distract the attention away from the covert strike teams of Soulfire and Prophecy Phyle.
Results: No men killed, and Blue Mist meets their new Aedile, Vorion. Troopers JScumm and Dorn Ty'Rodius Ravr are both injured. Lieutenant Commander Talos d'Tana is promoted to full Commander.
Great Hunt II
Blue Mist races against the clock and the other Battleteams of Arcona for the title of Elite Team of Arcona. Blue Mist triumphs after seven days of grueling events.
Results: Blue Mist is named the new Battleteam Elite of Arcona and awards are distributed to each member of the Team. Commander d'Tana is selected as the new Aedile of House Galeres.
Uneasy Alliances
The first mission undertaken as the Elite Team of Arcona and first one without the steady hand of Commander d'Tana, Blue Mist served as the elite pilots in engagements with both the Starfighter Corps of Clan Scholae Palatinae and then later the Coralskippers of the Yuuzhan Vong.
Results: Blue Mist truly prove their worth as the Elite Team of Arcona and Illian Syn acts as the Commander Pro Tempore.
Black Tempest
Arcona rally their scattered forces to invade the Dajorra system and reclaim their home territory from the Yuuzhan Vong. Blue Mist squadron is instrumental in clearing out Vong's fighters from planetary orbit, allowing the ground forces to land in safely on planet Sukhur.
Results: The campaign was a blast and brought high morale and pride to the Arcona forces, including Blue Mist Squadron. They were well prepared and ready for their next, yet hardest mission, ... the Ninth Great Jedi War.
The Ninth Great Jedi War (Unification)
The Great Six Clans of the Brotherhood unite under Grand Master Sarin and the Armed Forces of the Iron Throne to retake Antei from the Yuuzhan Vong. However, a new threat emerges from a mysterious Jedi Master, Omancor Crask. With his Jedi and droid forces, they have wiped out the Vong and claimed Antei as their fortress. Arcona is assigned a task to take over the Tiamat temple and Blue Mist Squadron once again demonstrate their high skilled and effectiveness in providing air support for the Arconan forces and the Army of Iron Throne.

"Results: Although Blue Mist lost two-thirds of their members, the campaign was a huge success, with Arcona won The Ninth Great Jedi War, defeating the other five clans. Jafrits Skrumm, Commander of Blue Mist, and his Flight Leaders, Tirano and Dathka, were promoted to one rank above by then-Consul Sashar. Later, they were awarded Blue Mist Flight Wings by Quaestor Etah for their loyalty and long term exemplary service."

Armory

Blue Mist Flight Suits

Blue Mist Flight Suit

The basic flight suit for Blue Mist Squadron, this suit is nearly identical to the TIE pilots of the Empire. The suit is all black with dark blue mantle armor and trim, a basic utility belt that holds a modified pilot's blaster pistol and a clip for a lightsaber. The life support pack, however has been upgraded and can assist a downed pilot in the vacuum of space for just about an hour and a half. A unique helmet reserved for elite ANAVSOC pilots has been issued standard along with this suit ever since the Great Hunt II.


Standard Weapons and Equipment

Since Blue Mist's primary battle field is in space as Arcona's flying arm, the members are only equipped with a standard or modified blaster pistol, one or two grenades of choice and miscellaneous equipment, just in case if they have to do a boarding mission or to survive behind enemy lines (e.g.: their starfighters crash and have to land in on enemy ground territory).

Pistols:


Grenades:


Miscellaneous:


Lightsaber

If displayed on dossier, the ceremonial weapon of the Battleteam is the Spectrum hilt with a Sith blue blade.


Vehicles of Blue Mist

Space

Blue Mist was given twelve A-9 Vigilance Interceptors to use in space battles. Simple cockpit controls makes the A-9 an easy fighter to learn. While faster than the TIE Interceptor, it has a weaker hull due to deliberate design choices made to reduce mass. Thanks to independent power generators, however, the weapons system is quite powerful for a ship of its size.

The A-9 is armed with two laser cannons, mounted in a structure on the ventral side of the fuselage. They are fire-linked and aimed forward in their standard configuration, but several modifications exist which allows the gun to pivot 90 degrees down to perform strafing runs, as well as allowing the cannons to be independently targeted. These cannons are more powerful than those of a T-65 X-wing starfighter, which has also come as a surprise to most enemies fighting this little, yet powerful ship. And in the hands of a Dark Jedi, it is a force to be reckoned with.

For Apprentices and Novices, they are given "stock" or standard A-9 Vigilance Interceptor with no modification at all. But as they progress to their next rank, optional upgrades and modifications are available. Acolytes and Protectors can upgrade the standard avionic and sensor systems to the advanced ones, while Guardians and Jedi Hunters, besides the advanced avionic and sensor system upgrade, are allowed to upgrade to advanced navigation and targeting system. The Commander can have all the upgrades and modifications which are listed below:


  • Standard (APP - NOV)
  • Advanced Avionic and Sensor system (ACO - PRT)
  • Advanced Navigation and Targeting system (GRD - JH)
  • Modified Engine - reinforced quadanium plating (DJK or above/FL)
  • Modified Weapon - laser cannon to pivot 180 degrees (Commander)

Ground

The Blue Mist Speederbike

The Battleteam was given twelve Aratech speederbikes for when the Cavalry takes to the ground. They are capable of reaching speeds up to and beyond five hundred kilometers per hour, and have a flight ceiling of twenty-five meters. They are controlled by handlebars located towards the front of the vehicle, and foot pedals slung underneath adjusted speed and altitude.

The highly maneuverable vehicles are equipped with sensor and communications devices located between the handlebars, including a comlink-jamming device. They are armed with a forward rotating blaster cannon for combat.

They were also equipped with a very powerful boost that could propel them over vast distances in a shorter amount of time.


Base of Operations

The Battleteam did not have a base to call their own. However, Blue Mist occupied, and continues to do so today, the House Galeres flagship BAC Darkest Night along with the rest of the House. The Team docks their ships within the wide hangar and they have their own set of barracks and conference room as well as a small lounge and storage room that they have converted into an armory. Finally a small room off the armory serves as the Commander's personal office.


Ranks, Titles and Awards

Ranks

In a crusade to make the Battleteam more enjoyable, Commander JScumm created a fictional rank structure, like the Military one.


  • Flight Cadet (APP - NOV)
  • Flight Officer (ACO - PRT)
  • Lieutenant (GRD - JH)
  • Captain (DJK or above/Flight Leader)
  • Commander (BTL)

NOTE: The ranks are purely fictional and have no standing outside the Battleteam and likewise should not be used outside Battleteam business. These ranks hold no power within House Galeres or the rest of the Brotherhood.
