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.

==Missions==
Generally, the missions for Blue Mist Squadron can be categorized as: Attack, Defense, and Reconnaissance.
===Attack===
The primary purpose in attack mission is to eliminate enemy fighter presence. Intercept, target and hunt down enemy starfighters as fast and as many as possible. This type of mission is best known as search-and-destroy mission.
The secondary purpose is to guard an attacking force, such as bomber squadron which is assigned by higher command to attack/destroy/disable a tactical target. Here, Blue Mist squadron acts as guardians of the bombers. Taking down enemy fighters who hunt down or intercept the bombers so they can concentrate more to accomplish their mission in destroying or disabling a specific target without worrying to be easily shot down by the enemies interceptor.
===Defense===
A fighter pilot's nightmare. The primary purpose is to defend our fleet or space platform against a major attack from enemies, which can be done by shooting down incoming torpedoes/missiles, taking out enemy bombers or fighters, 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 come to rescue.
Included in defense mission is escorting an important mobile asset (a ship or a convoy). The squadron is dedicated to protecting the asset being transported at all cost and ensuring the asset can travel safely to the desired point. Any enemy fighters encountered along the way are engaged once they approach the asset. The escorting squadron will only chase the enemies a short distance before returning to a position near the escorted asset.
===Reconnaissance===
These missions are generally passive observation missions in which starfighters may shadow a known enemy location, monitoring traffic, estimating strength, and relaying information to their base. If discovered, the pilots will do their best to escape. In no case should the pilots allow themselves to be captured. Recon missions are not considered cakewalks.

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

A Battle Team within House Galeres of Clan 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, 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.

Missions

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

Attack

The primary purpose in attack mission is to eliminate enemy fighter presence. Intercept, target and hunt down enemy starfighters as fast and as many as possible. This type of mission is best known as search-and-destroy mission.

The secondary purpose is to guard an attacking force, such as bomber squadron which is assigned by higher command to attack/destroy/disable a tactical target. Here, Blue Mist squadron acts as guardians of the bombers. Taking down enemy fighters who hunt down or intercept the bombers so they can concentrate more to accomplish their mission in destroying or disabling a specific target without worrying to be easily shot down by the enemies interceptor.

Defense

A fighter pilot's nightmare. The primary purpose is to defend our fleet or space platform against a major attack from enemies, which can be done by shooting down incoming torpedoes/missiles, taking out enemy bombers or fighters, 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 come to rescue.

Included in defense mission is escorting an important mobile asset (a ship or a convoy). The squadron is dedicated to protecting the asset being transported at all cost and ensuring the asset can travel safely to the desired point. Any enemy fighters encountered along the way are engaged once they approach the asset. The escorting squadron will only chase the enemies a short distance before returning to a position near the escorted asset.

Reconnaissance

These missions are generally passive observation missions in which starfighters may shadow a known enemy location, monitoring traffic, estimating strength, and relaying information to their base. If discovered, the pilots will do their best to escape. In no case should the pilots allow themselves to be captured. Recon missions are not considered cakewalks.

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.

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. JScumm, 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 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 has been upgraded and can assist a downed pilot in the vacuum of space for just about an hour.

Blue Mist Scout Armor

In the air they are Clan Arconas 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

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.

  • 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.

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.

Verpine Shatter Gun

*Taken from Wookiepedia

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

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

If displayed on dossier, the ceremonial weapon of the Battleteam is the Spectrum hilt with a red blade. However, Dark Jedi Knights and above can customize their weapons to their liking and the Armory Hilt wielders can pick the blade color of their choosing.

The Blue Mist A-9 Interceptor

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 hull (DJK or above/FL)
  • Modified Weapon - laser cannon to pivot 90 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 new Battleteam does not have a base to call their own at the moment. However, Blue Mist currently occupies 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, Title and Award

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.
