RED SQUADRON
In 2369, following the Kolvoord Starburst Incident involving Nova Squadron, Department of Internal Affairs began a comprehensive review of elite unit training protocol. The resultant investigation found that creative limitations such as the ones which forced Nova Squadron to keep their plans secret needed to be relaxed to allow specialized troops to achieve their potential. Many restrictions on command protocol and oversight were temporarily rescinded but only in regard to carefully chosen candidates. The first result of this covert training directive, known as the “Red Initiative” was the formation of Red Squad. The mission and eventual destruction of the USS Valiant in 2373 was seen as evidence that the initiative had much to offer Starfleet but the crews actions were ultimately deemed unnecessarily reckless. Following the bad publicity generated by Red Squadron’s near total annihilation further Red Initiative directives became even more heavily classified. In the year 2408 the Red Initiative began its first overt operation. Under the authority of Red Initiative Director, Admiral Dorian Collins, several of Red Initiatives major covert players were organized into a new special operations detachment designated SOD-Red. The newly restructured Red Squadron will no longer conduct missions as an elite training unit but will now function as a fully operational fleet, reporting directly to Starfleet Command.
Headquarters have been established at Starbase 157 and Red Squadron is scheduled for full deployment by 2409.
The Missions
Red Squadron’s primary tasks are, HALO (High Altitude High Objective, ship –to-ship ) and HAHO (High Altitude Low Objective ship-to-ground) EIO (Enemy Intervention Operations), although it is an extremely versatile group capable of assuming many covert missions, including, but not limited to, rescuing hostages, raids, and eliminating or surveying covert enemy forces.
Status
Red Squadron is currently recruiting and training for future missions and is looking for members who would like to focus on role-playing in the Star Trek Universe.
