[[image:sfc.png|right|thumb|250px|Star Fighter Command logo & commbadge]] '''Starfighter Command''' was the military wing of [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]] formed in the aftermath of the [[Borg War]] in the early [[25th century]].

The Starfighter Command consists of [[squadrons]] of starfighters and minor patrol boats and tends to assign its units to individual outposts, bases, and colonies for their prelimary and standard defence. On occasion, squadrons are assigned to [[Starfleet]] vessels as a means to supplement their combat capabilities, particularly for explorative and offensive duties.

Originally established as a minor wing of Starfleet itself, Starfighter Command drew its personnel from both naval and marine pilots. After several years of success, it was proposed by the Executive Branch and passed through the Council (in 2403) to set up the organisation as an independent military wing, with the same freedoms afforded the newly formed [[Federation Mobile Infantry]] and Starfleet itself.

Under the command of Chief Marshall [[Castor Wolfram]], Starfighter Command maintains approximately two dozen squadrons. These were originally the dozen squadrons assigned to Starfleet and the [[Earth Defence Force]], most assigned to bases and carriers where they could conduct patrols of the Sol System. It was exceptional for a squadron to be assigned to active duty on board a starship. The success of the flexibility of the [[Angry Apes]] and the demonstration of the efficiency of a starfighter squadron in rapid response gave birth to a more sophisticated and versatile range of postings for squadrons.

When on a base or colony, a squadron is usually self-sufficient, with its own maintenance crew and chain of command, and cooperating with local forces to see to the defence of their assignment. If assigned to a Starfleet vessel, the squadron is usually more reliant upon the ship and its crew, and is generally integrated with the chain of command, a holdover from when the two organisations were one.

The multiple Wings of Starfighter Command were originally more indicative of the assignment of the squadron, such as Alpha Wing's involvement in the Vulcan threat and Beta Wing's assignment to border defence. But as time has drawn on and the squadrons have changed and developed, such overall mandates have been impractical. Squadrons underwent experiences which made them suitable for assignments outside of their wing's mandate; as such, the wings have simply become administrative oversights instead of larger combat units. The independence of an individual squadrons remains sacrosanct in Starfighter Command.

Star Fighter Command is the military wing of the Federation focused on smallcraft combat and local patrol duties. Consisting of squadrons of starfighters and minor patrol boats, Star Fighter Command tends to assign its units to individual outposts, bases, and other such colonies for their defence. Fighter squadrons are sometimes also assigned to Starfleet vessels to supplement their combat capabilities, particularly for explorative and offensive duties.

SFC was originally established as a minor wing of Starfleet itself, drawing from Fleet and Marine pilots.

Under the command of Chief Marshall [[Castor Wolfram]], Star Fighter Command maintains approximately two dozen squadrons, both the former twelve of the old Earth Defence Force, and assorted colonial defenders and specialist squadrons.

Star Fighter Command has split the 12 former Earth Defence Force Squadrons up in to 3 wings: Alpha Wing, Beta Wing and Charlie Wing. Each Wing performs a specific role within the fleet. Alpha Wing is tasked with long-term response to the Vulcan threat; Beta Wing is tasked with boarder defence and interdiction missions; and Charlie Wing is the system's training wing.

Starfighter Command was the military wing of Federation formed in the aftermath of the Borg War in the early 25th century.

Overview

The Starfighter Command consists of squadrons of starfighters and minor patrol boats and tends to assign its units to individual outposts, bases, and colonies for their prelimary and standard defence. On occasion, squadrons are assigned to Starfleet vessels as a means to supplement their combat capabilities, particularly for explorative and offensive duties.

Originally established as a minor wing of Starfleet itself, Starfighter Command drew its personnel from both naval and marine pilots. After several years of success, it was proposed by the Executive Branch and passed through the Council (in 2403) to set up the organisation as an independent military wing, with the same freedoms afforded the newly formed Federation Mobile Infantry and Starfleet itself.

Under the command of Chief Marshall Castor Wolfram, Starfighter Command maintains approximately two dozen squadrons. These were originally the dozen squadrons assigned to Starfleet and the Earth Defence Force, most assigned to bases and carriers where they could conduct patrols of the Sol System. It was exceptional for a squadron to be assigned to active duty on board a starship. The success of the flexibility of the Angry Apes and the demonstration of the efficiency of a starfighter squadron in rapid response gave birth to a more sophisticated and versatile range of postings for squadrons.

When on a base or colony, a squadron is usually self-sufficient, with its own maintenance crew and chain of command, and cooperating with local forces to see to the defence of their assignment. If assigned to a Starfleet vessel, the squadron is usually more reliant upon the ship and its crew, and is generally integrated with the chain of command, a holdover from when the two organisations were one.

Order of Battle

The multiple Wings of Starfighter Command were originally more indicative of the assignment of the squadron, such as Alpha Wing's involvement in the Vulcan threat and Beta Wing's assignment to border defence. But as time has drawn on and the squadrons have changed and developed, such overall mandates have been impractical. Squadrons underwent experiences which made them suitable for assignments outside of their wing's mandate; as such, the wings have simply become administrative oversights instead of larger combat units. The independence of an individual squadrons remains sacrosanct in Starfighter Command.
