Solas Tempus Groups

There are standard squad designations in Solas Tempus for various kinds of teams and groups.

Light Space Craft

Fighter groups are divided into 3 types, Wings containing Squadrons, containing Flights. A Wing has a total of 6 Squadrons and each Squadron has 3 Flights. Wings are are designated with the name of the system, sector, or group they are assigned to, where as specific Squadrons are designated by a greek letter or colo, and flights have numbers. No two Squadrons have the same name and number.

Squadron Designations

Patrol Squadrons

Alpha, Beta, Gamma, or Delta

Interceptor Squadrons

Epsilon, Zeta, Tau, or Sigma

Assault Squadrons

Theta, Lambda, Rho, or Omega

Specialized Squadrons

Black, Red, Gray, or White

Flight Designation

A flight does not reference the wing name unless asked to avoid the inevitably long names that would cause. Thus, a flight is designated as:

Squadron Name, Squadron Number, and Flight Number.

Examples

Flight Alpha 2-1
Epsilon 9-3
Black 2-2

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.

A full squadron has a total of 3 flights of the same type (Interceptor Squadrons, Patrol Squadrons, etc.). Except for special Squadrons which are composed to the task of multiple flight types as needed by the Wing Commander.
