Background:

The pilots within this elite unit were thought to be the best pilots the Belkan Air Force had at the time. They commonly fought with an immense sense of pride for their homeland, Belka.

Despite being a newer unit which had not seen any action before the Belkan War, the Rot Squadron opened it's kill score during the first months of the Belkan War with great successes. The Rot Squadron was primarily centered around their flight leader Detlef Fleisher who was commonly viewed as the "Poster Boy" of the Belkan Air Force.
