Lightning Squadron

Special Tactical Fighter Unit 5, or Lightning was one of nine crack squadrons of Imperial pilots specifically trained to operate from fast, roving light cruisers. These irregular units were instituted by Admiral Kreldin, modelled after his own elite unit, the Black Stars, and were known as "half-squadrons". They only had six pilots, a few techs, and a pair of droids per six-ship unit.

This particular unit was assigned to the HIMS Dauntless, and was known for having Jal'Dann Rall and Seifer Wolf leading its operations.
