Composition

Each fighter wing is composed of 1 electronic warfare runabout with high output / resolution sensor arrays, jammers, high power and long range transmitters, and equipped with utilitarian torpedo warheads (such as Electronic Disruption, Warp Field Disruption, etc..). This vessel is always called Hawk. Thus, the first Alpha Wing would be called Alpha 1 and the runabout assigned would be be called Alpha 1 Hawk or Alpha 2 Hawk.
