[h2][color=aba000][i][b]V-19 Torrent Spade Squadron[/b][/i][/color][/h2]

[color=aba000][b]Bio[/b][/color]: Originally commissioned under the designation "V-19 Squadron 5584-098", Spade Squadron was a unit of the GAR which flew the recently commissioned V-19 Torrent Starfighter. This unit received their name after a battle over Nar Shaddaa in which they lost none of their wing-mates nor had any damaged fighters.

Assigned to the 286th Assault Legion, Spade Squadron became a favorite squad of Jedi General Kelen Rolin, who would normally fly with them in space combat. Even after the introduction of the Z-95 Headhunter Starfighter Squadron of Hunter Squadron, Rolin would fly with both units in space combat equally, and sometimes at the same time.

Spade Squadron suffered a terrible thrashing at the Battle of Rothana, when CIS forces threatened to take the heavy vehicle manufacturing planet loyal to the Republic. Rolin and the 286th fought on the ground and in the air, but the casualties were high for both sides. That day, Spade Squadron was nearly destroyed, leaving only four members left after the conflict had subsided.

They rebuilt their forces after this, but that wouldn't last long. A few months later the 286th was sent to Coruscant under orders from General Rolin. Not even an hour after they had arrived, a CIS Fleet emerged from hyperspace, catching them completely off guard. After the battle, they counted that five of the eight rookie pilots had been killed in action.

After rebuilding their Squadron with fresh pilots, they were once again on the front lines as the Campaign in the Solus System fell into full swing. As planet after planet were reclaimed from the CIS, it seemed the tide had turned in favor for the Republic. However, that would change after Rolin and the 286th became stranded on Solus 4 after an orbital blockade drove off Naval Forces.

After returning in full force, Spade Squadron would lead the primary starfighter assault, and later return to aid the Republic Battleship Excalibur that had become swarmed in Vulture Droids. After finally routing the seps, Spade Squadron and the 286th were ordered back to Coruscant under orders from Grand Master Yoda and Master Windu.

[color=aba000][b]Members[/b][/color]:
[hr]
[color=aba000][b]CP-7368 "Ace"[/b][/color]: Ace is designated "Spade 1", serving as the units Squad Leader. One of the four survivors of Rothana, he has been Squad Leader since the unit was formed. One of the best pilots in the garrison, he his Rolin's go to clone for precise aerial assaults on fortified positions, if second only to Hunter Squadron with the advanced Z-95 Headhunter.

He is a loyal and dedicated trooper, and will see an operation through to the end, no matter the costs. He will follow any order, unless it verges on treason.

[color=aba000][b]CP-7412 "Flush"[/b][/color]: The second of four survivors of Rothana, Flush is designated "Spade 2" in Spade Squadron. Serving as Ace's Wing-Mate, he's always right by his side on the battlefield, making sure nothing happens to any more of his brothers.

That being said, he is a caring clone who won't let anything happen to his brothers.

[color=aba000][b]CP-7341 "Riot":[/b][/color]: Yet another of the four survivors of Rothana, Riot, Squad Designation "Spade 3", got his nickname when he buzzed over a riot in progress during the Battle of Coruscant to scare the civilians out of harms way. One of the hardened veterans of Spade Squadron, he's no clone to mess with on a bad day.

Somewhat true to his nickname, he is prone to anger issues and tends to overreact to some things. He has managed to work on controlling this to a degree, but he's got a long way to go. Nevertheless, he his a loyal and worthwhile trooper to have, and Spade Squadron wouldn't be the same without him.

[color=aba000][b]CP-7447 "Shatter"[/b][/color]: The final of the four surviving members of the Battle of Rothana, Shatter, designated "Spade 4", earned his nickname when a precise shot from his starboard laser canon pierced two bridge viewports of CIS Frigates during the battle of Nar Shaddaa. As like his brothers in arms, he is not one to take lightly.

He can take advantage of just about any situation, like if there's a vulture in front of him and one behind him, he can maneuver so precisely that he can turn away and make said vultures crash into each other. He's a calculating clone, and can think on the fly, something he's learned to pick up on over the years. Off the battlefield, he's just a swell guy who's fun to hang with.

[color=aba000][b]Other Members[/b][/color]: Spade Squadron has 8 other unnamed members, whom the Rothana Foursome have never really bothered getting to know very well. It's for the best as well, many never survive their first months on the battlefield.
