History

Under the scrutiny of High Admiral Thran Occasus - Ace Pilot of Scholae Palatinae - the Scholae Palatinae Corps were established at the end of Dakari's reign as Consul, before being finalized under the rule of Braecen Kunar.

It was at the request of then Qauestor of Caliburnus - Thran - to establish a more legitimate organization within the Clan's Naval Fleet. In addition to his restructuring of the Clan Fleet into two Battle Groups - Rancor Horde & Starstealer Flotilla - he went about coordinating future starfighter efforts. With the assistance of Dakari, a Consul Emeritus, the two divined assignments for each squadron into the corresponding Wings that create the sum total of the Corps.

As the heirarchy stands, the High Admiral is included in all strategums and Battle Plans that include the use of starfighter elements. The technical expertise and deft understanding of each ship and their outcome on the course of a battle gives them a vast amount of control on the outcome of the planning phase. Additionally, when present in battle, the Senior Officer can override direct orders of all personnel - excluding the Emperor, Grand Marshall and Fleet Commander - if a tactical discrepancy is recognized.

With a new sense of structure and ability to defer to a direct Chain of Command, the fighter element of Clan Scholae Palatinae has begun to surge forward into a lethal addition of military prowess. The new formation has yet to engage in direct combat, but the smaller force of ships was able to navigate through the Rites of Supremacy: Second Darkness with devastating skill and proficiency to claim Third Overall in their simulated engagements.

Structure & Ranks

Structure

The command structure, or element breakdown, of the Scholae Palatinae Fighter Corps complies with Imperial TIE Corps criteria. As such, the collective identity of the entire Clan Fighter Forces falls under the official title: Scholae Palatinae Corps.

Because the Corps is made of such a large number of starfighters, it must be organized into units, each with its own leaders and reporting structure. Each unit—whether it’s a squadron or division was created to respond to any mission, regardless of size or complexity.

Element Composition Minimum Rank (Officer)
Corps 2 or more Divisions Force Marshal
Division 2 or more Wings General
Wing 3 to 6 Squadrons Lt. Colonel
Squadron 3 Flights Commander
Flight 4 Fighters Lieutenant

Officers

Commissioned Officers are the managers, problem-solvers, key influencers and planners who lead Enlisted Soldiers in all situations. They have the skills, the training and the character needed to inspire and encourage others. They embrace and embody the Core Army Values and apply them to every decision they make and every action they take. An Officer’s rank can range from Officer Candidate to Surface Marshal.
