― 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.

Armory

Blue Mist Flight Suits

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 vaccuum 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.

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.

Verpine Shatter Gun

*Taken from Wookiepedia

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 Warlord Hilt with a blue blade. However, Dark Jedi Knights and above can customize their weapons to their liking and the Armory Hilt weilders can pick the blade color of their choosing.

Vehicles of Blue Mist

Space

The 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.

V-38 TIE Phantom-When Blue Mist was made the Elite Team of Arcona, Proconsul Sashar Arconae gifted 12 Twin Ion Engine Phantoms to the Elite. Blue Mist uses these starfighters in all types of space combat and when Blue Mist accompanies Consul Mejas Doto as his space Honor Guard.

Ground

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.

Battleteam Promotion System

In order to make Blue Mist a more military-like unit, the Commander developed a Inter-Team Promotion System. The ranks of the Battleteam have no holding outside the Battleteam and do not affect the Troopers Brotherhood rank or position.

Basic Ranks

*Trainee-The rank that all men of Blue Mist are given upon entering the Battleteams ranks. This rank entitles the Trainees to their own set of Blue Mist training armor.

*Cadet-A official member of Blue Mist, this rank grants the Cadet their own Scout Armor, Flight Suit, and weapon configuration, and their own Blue Mist A-9 Vigilance Interceptor.

Specialist Ranks

*SCOUT RANKS

*Recon Scout-The lowest rank out of the Scout class, this rank allows the Recon to ride with a Forward Advance Recon Squad (FARS).

*Watcher-Gaining more prestige among the Scouts of Blue Mist, the Watcher ranks entitles the rank holder to an increased turbo-boost and more powerful laser cannon on their bike.

Advance Recon Scout-Usually the leader of a FARS, this is the highest rank attainable in the Scout class and warrants the best gear. Thickened durasteel plating is applied to the bike, increased range and power on the forward mounted laser cannon and a top-of-the-line boost system.
