Regimental HQ

The Regimental HQ consists of 7 Danube class Runabouts. The squad consists of 1 Command Runabout for the Regimental HQ and 2Power Station variant Runabout, 1 SOC variant, and 3 Medical variants. Regimental HQ typically does not deploy as a whole. Runabouts are typcially deployed as needed.

Weapons Squadron

This Squadron consists of 10 Gunship Runabout variants and its primary objection is to escort the "Dropship" variants into hot landing zones. They also provide close air support for the troops on the ground.

Scout Squadron

This squadron consists of 12 type 9 shuttles of the "Spyglass" variant, and 16 Gryphon class Starfighters of the "RECON" variant. This squad cannot provide air support for troops on the ground because these units have very little in the way of weaponry.

Transport Squadron

A Transport squadron consists of 8 Runabouts of the "Dropship" variant. These Runabouts transport the troops of the attack companies in and out of battle. A Transport squadron is capable of transporting an entire Marine Rifle Company in one wave.
