Tython Squadron Operatives

Tython Squadron is a Battleteam formed from the members of House Satele Shan of Clan Odan-Urr. The unit was founded in 35 ABY. Currently, the squadron is undergoing extensive flight training to achieve operational accreditation and final commissioning. The squadron’s official mission is to aid in the defense of the Kiast System as a subordinate unit under the operational control of JTF Satele Shan. Unofficially, Tython Squadron’s true purpose is to serve as the internal security apparatus within Clan Odan-Urr, tasked with combating corruption, sedition, and infiltration from within the Clan’s ranks.

Founding

Operations Center

The genesis of Tython Squadron began with the destruction of New Tython during the Eleventh Great Jedi War. Odan-Urr’s failure to stop the calamity and protect the Harakoan race shook the organization to its core. The need for a dedicated defense force to ensure the same fate does not befall the denizens of the Kiast System became acute due to the unexpected victory over the forces of The Collective in the Twelfth Great Jedi War. With new recruits, prosperity, and prestige the secrecy and security of Odan-Urr’s territory has never faced greater peril.

Director Maximus Alvinius and Executor Len Iode approached Commander Mauro Wynter clandestinely in a series of meetings within the Sky Breach Base to discuss the formation of the squadron. Major Silvia Tanos, Intelligence Officer of the Remembrance of Seher, was assigned as the military liaison and helped Wynter hand pick the pilots of Tython Squadron. Nearly all were veterans of the destruction of New Tython.

Upon the initial formation many new pilots flocked to join Tython Squadron to the point where many lesser pilots transferred to flight crew and field operatives of the nascent internal security arm of the Battleteam. Needing to run the unit through operational trials, Mauro Wynter and Silvia Tanos engaged the Basic Flight Training slate of events. The pilots underwent countless training missions and simulations.

During one such training mission the squadron caught a smuggling vessel, the Raxanna's Remorse. This C-Roc Cruiser was moving advanced weaponry within the Kiast System and sending coded messages to the Iron Throne and hidden operatives within Sky Breach Base. The squadron, due to impressive flying by all parties was captured and returned to Daleem. For their conspicuous gallantry Chrome, Junazee, and Ranarr-Kul Tarantae were awarded the title of Aces by Maximus Alvinius.

Tactics and Operations

Tython Squadron Tie Defenders

Tython Squadron’s training craft were based in hanger Delta Seven of the Sky Breach Base orbital platform. The squadron secretly renovated the nascent Garza's Pathfinders Central Cloister within the planet-side of Sky Breach Base as their operations center and intelligence gathering nexus. These accommodations were temporary in nature; upon commissioning the squadron was looking for a home of their own and the determination of which fighter craft would be piloting. The squadron trained on captured Collective Quadjumper spoils of war.

Upon commissioning Tython Squadron were granted the elite Tie Defender squadron of their own with associated mechanics, backup pilots, and command and control echelon staff. In light of the secrecy required by the Battleteam, Maximus Alvinius and Len Iode granted Tython Squadron temporary control of the orbital platform of Sky Breach Base. The Tie Defenders are still housed within hanger Delta Seven and the remainder of the platform is being renovated to provide better orbital defense, command and control, and security features along with other classified amenities.
