Starfighter Command

To the new arrivals on the ship - welcome to Stacy. You've caught us at kind of a bad time, what with the contagious rage virus running around in the city, but we march on.

My name is Lieutenant Trudy Chacon, and I'm posting on behalf of Starfighter Command, which is Stacy's space fighter force. If you come with piloting experience, whether it be in an atmosphere or spacecraft, we're always looking to add to the ranks.

Starfighter Command consists of three squadrons, each with their own specialized fighter.
Rogue Squadron - Stacy's original fighter squadron, utilizes the T-65 X-wing starfighter, a sturdy snubfighter craft. I personally fly in Rogue Squadron.
Skull Squadron - Utilizes the VF-25 Messiah and VF-171EX Nightmare Plus, variable-fighter craft with the ability to transform from snubfighter to mobile suit craft mid-flight. Also the fastest craft in Starfighter Command.
Blade Squadron - Utilizes the capabilities of various Mobile Suits, including Mobile Suits classified as Gundams. While many of the pilots in this squadron have their own mobile suits, volunteers without mobile suits will be placed in available ZGMF-1000 ZAKU Warriors or GAT-04 Windams.

Starfighter Command also operates a Medevac and Rescue Shuttle Unit, piloted mostly by civilian volunteers. While this is under the umbrella of Starfighter Command, shuttle pilots aren't considered military.

For pilots who wish to join Starfighter Command - understand that you will be placing yourself in a military structure, within the military chain of command. Failure to appear for training sessions or scrambles, insubordination or conduct not befitting a member of Starfighter Command will not be tolerated.

If you don't have any piloting experience, or your experience is non-military or with atmosphere craft, we will still accept you as a volunteer, with the caveat that you will have to enter and complete Basic Training. Most of the other pilots have already been through Basic and can tell you what it's like, but it's not easy.

I'd be happy to take any questions you have.
-Lt. Trudy Chacon, Starfighter Command

What exactly is a "mobile suit"?

[identity profile] heretic-witch.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 08:26 am (UTC)(link)
Then something like a Knightmare Frame? I have experience piloting those.

Then I'm interested in enlisting. If there's any way I can be of assistance, I want to do my part.

My name is Nunnally vi Britannia. I'm fourteen years old, but I've held my ground against militarily-trained Knightmare Frame pilots numerous times.

I see...

If you'd like, I could demonstrate? Though it might take some practice to get used to another style of mobile suit.

Ah. Thank you, Lt. Chacon. I'll get in touch with one of them.

Where are the Sensoriums? I'm still getting used to the layout of this ship; it's a bit disorienting.

Oh, there it is! Thank you. I'll be there for the training exercise.

I have experience in a military operation, though I didn't exactly have a particularly successful one. I'd take on one of the civilian craft, though.

Turlough. Ensign Junior Commander Vislor Turlough.

[identity profile] blacks-lackey.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Just Turlough, thank you, like I said: less than successful. Will keep an eye out, of course.

You've got organic-piloted vehicles that are transformers!?

Yeah, he typed that, but then meant to hit DELETE not SEND

[identity profile] derpjack-ftw.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Ack, sorry about that. Ignore that last message.

...Lieutenant Trudy Chacon, hi. My name is Wheeljack. I'm a Cybertronian. I'm no proper pilot, though I have some training. More though, I'm wondering who services all your vehicles. I have considerable knowledge in all the physical sciences, but my forte is mechanical engineering.

Anyway, thought I'd toss that past you. Thanks for your time.

He'd be a good mech to have on hand for that.

How's your Medivac Unit looking? I've got military, medical and pilot experience that could probably come in handy if you need it.

[identity profile] talks2stoplight.livejournal.com 2010-10-05 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Crew suits me fine, Lieutenant.

[identity profile] derpjack-ftw.livejournal.com 2010-10-05 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
X-wings? VFs? Heh . . . sounds like I've got my work cut out for me getting myself up to speed! Haha! That's okay, though - I like a good challenge! And maybe I can help with those upgrades too.

Billy Cranston, huh? Well, if he's not the right guy, I'd bet he could direct me to who is. Thanks!

Oh, and I see Ratchet replied. Let me tell you, you couldn't ask for a better medic. I've known Ratchet for . . . well, let's just say a really, really long time. Sturdy, dependable, knowledgeable, and he's got a real spark for people. You won't be sorry, believe me.

I still want to pilot one of the red ZAKU's.
jesushasagundam: (What's going on?)

[personal profile] jesushasagundam 2010-10-04 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
There shouldn't be a problem with that. We'll work on piloting lessons in the Sensorium.

I've used flying machines before, and piloted a couple of goblin shredder mechs when I was trying to get rid of a few deforesters. Nothing as big as the mobile suits though. But I usually pick up things pretty quickly.

I am a pilot! I am the best pilot in my village!
