4TH TACTICAL FIGHTER SQUADRON
- 3rd Air Division, REAF (North Region Air Defense)

Aircraft:
Mirage 2000-5

Background:
The 4th Tactical Fighter Squadron of the 3rd Air Division was stationed at a outpost at the start of the Emmerian-Estovakian war, and survived the initial assault undamaged. They were assigned to defend the western cities of Emmeria after the Estovakian blitzkrieg began, and became their chief defenders and feared opponents of Estovakian forces. They were surrounded at Silvat along with other surviving continental forces, and managed to successfully defend the substation facilities until Garuda Team and other Khesed Island forces arrived at the battle zone, and broke the Estovakian siege. The unit joined Garuda Team on several missions after this, most notably at the destruction of the Aigaion, and the assault on Ragno Fortress. They became feared opponents of Estovakian forces, and could usually be found providing cover to ground forces in many operations. They flew during the Liberation of Gracemeria, covering the Steel Gunners armored unit, and providing backup to Garuda Team. They defended Gracemeria from a rail gun launched cruise missile attack along with Garuda Team, and flew in the final mission of the war, the raid on the Chandelier rail gun, participating in it's destruction.
