212TH SILVER SCYTHES
DOSSIER
April 7, 2371
Security Level: Delta

The 212th Silver Scythes was formed in 2360 as a detail to deep range patrol and guard of installations in the Aldebaran and Altair systems. While primarily Vasudan territory, the GTVA felt that having Terran squadrons assigned to guard Vasudan space, and vice versa, would help towards bringing further understanding and respect between the two cultures.

These good intentions aside, the Silver Scythes became a deep-space patrol and installation guardians. While maintaining a superficial contact with their Vasudan counterparts, the Silver Scythes have been essentially isolated from the rest of the GTVA, especially after being transferred to Tau Sigma Station after it became operational in 2368.

At present, morale in the Scythes is known to be low. In efforts to boost its efforts, GTVA command has increased the rotation of pilots assigned to this unit.

That having been said, the recent economic difficulties in the GTVA have made adequate supplies to the 212th problematic. Other areas of the Alliance are in greater need of the more advanced military forces. If necessary, the Vasudan forces from Altair can be called upon to support this squadron if necessary. As it stands now, the 212th, along with the GTC LoneWolf, stand watch at Tau Sigma Station.



PERSONNEL PROFILES

Lt. Aubrey "Duct Tape" Mackie

While reliable, and a competent pilot, Mackie is known to be vocal and often times rude. Despite his complaining, he recently requested a second tour of duty at Tau Sigma Station. He was originally assigned against his will when he tried speaking Vasudan without a translator, simultaneously violating some 14 rules of etiquette in a single phrase. He inadvertently insulted a senior officer at Aldebaran. To this day, it is not known exactly what Mackie said, or how he said it, suffice to say that Mackie would rather remain at Tau Sigma.
