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.
The Crest of Blue Mist
This section is currently beind editied
The crest of Blue Mist is made up of three key parts. The Wings, the Cogs, and the Sword. Each part is explained in detail below.
The Wings of the Crest
The Wings symbolize the Blue Mist as a rising Battleteam. Blue Mist is a new and fairly unknown Team but they are on the rise within Galeres and Arcona.
The Cogs of the Crest
The Cogs repersent the important parts that each Trooper plays in Blue Mist. Blue Mist stands as one and each Trooper has his or her own voice in matters concering the Battleteam. This is why the Cogs are located in the center of the Crest.
The Sword of the Crest
Located at the top of the Crest, the Sword repersents the loyalty to both Galeres and Arcona and danger that is posed to anyone who opposes the Clan. The Sword also repersents the strength of the Battleteam. These are the reasons that the Sword is located at the peak of the Crest. Arcona comes first...Blue Mist comes after.

Tactics
Blue Mist displays many combat tactics in battle and while they may not be as special-forces oriented like Soulfire, they still prove deadly. Some of the common tactics are listed below.
Run-and-gun
As the name states, this is a pure offensive move and is used for fast 'skirmishes' and for providing cover-fire.
Ghost-Fire
This is also a pretty self-explanatory manoveur. This is usually used by a sharpshooter for the Battleteam and the purpose of this is to provide pure cover-fire. Usually this is used for surprise attacks, distracting the enemies while the rest runs in. The requirment of a 'Ghost' is to be able to have true aim, fire quickly and be able to move quickly and set up again equally fast.
Kad Kar'ta
This tactic is in full Mando'a and means 'Saber Heart'. This is for ground combat only and no blasters are used only mele`e weapons such as beskads, lightsaber, vibro-weapons and such. This tactic is usually used to punch through the front lines and do massive damage.
Jet-Trooper
However awesome it would be, Blue Mist was denied jet-packs for the time being. This refers to a pair of Blue Mist Troopers utilizing the Force in an extreme manuover. One cups his hands as if to give the other Trooper a boost and that is exactly what happens. The 'jet-trooper' sprints towards the booster and step up into the cupped hands and jumps as the booster lifts his hands to throw him with the aide of the force. The first time this move was enacted was between Dark Jedi Knight Illian Syn, who was the 'jet-trooper' and Commander Talos Annedu, the booster, in the final battle of the House Feud that ended recently.
Armory

Armor
Upon entering the ranks of the Battleteam, each Trooper wears the armor of the 212th Utapau Airborne Corps. This armor is configured with a cleft-resperator, which provides a gas mask for dangerous situations as well a re-breather (underwater breathing device). This armor set was commonly seen at the Battle of Utapau during the Clone Wars era. The armor is painted midnight blue with the crest of Blue Mist displayed on the right shoulder. All of the armor is standard with no identifying marks on it. The only exception to this rule is the Commander's armor which has the rank displayed in gold on the upper-right portion of the armor.
Dress Blues
The dress uniform of the Galeres military is no different from that of the Battleteam Blue Mist. The uniform is dark blue with the shirt and pants, with a gold stripe running down the sides of the pants. For the Commander, an over-jacket is used and the Commanders rank, crest of Blue Mist, and any other distinguishments are presented on the jacket. The same applies for the Troopers, their awards are displayed on the shirt of the dress uniform. The shoes are black leather and tailored for each Trooper.
Weaponry
Standard issue weaponry for Blue Mist is the WESTAR-M5 blaster rifle. This rifle earned its deadly reputations during the Clone Wars, it being the a common weapon used by Clone Commanders. The rifle can be fitted with a variety of attachments and set for either burst, semi-automatic or full automatic fire types. The standard issue hand-weapon was the DC-17 light repeating blaster pistol (which also saw action in the Clone Wars). The Commander has two of these pistols while the regular Troopers have one. It is noted that any Trooper is welcome to try and use two pistols but the second one must be bought seperate and trained with in the Troopers spare time. The men of Blue Mist also carry an astortment of grenades including, frags, EMPS, and sonics.

Gadgets
The Battleteam also carries simple gadgets for use in operations. They include, but are not limited to, grapples lines, med packs, analyzers and det-packs.
Vehicles of Blue Mist
Space
File:BM-A-9.jpgThe Blue Mist A-9 Interceptor
Blue Mist was given twelve upgraded A-9 Vigilance Interceptors to use in space battles. Only seven of these are currently in commission. 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.
Ground
The Blue Mist Speederbike
The Battleteam was given twelve Aratech speederbikes for when the Calvary takes to the ground. As with the A-9s, only seven of these are currently in use. 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 that they have converted into an armory. Finally a small room off the armory serves as Commander Talos's personal office. Blue Mist is currently in the market for a new base with the help of Quaestor Rho d'Tana.
