"Espada Two, roger. Lead the way."
"It's that mercenary unit that everyone has been talking about. Let's see if they're reall that good."
"I'll move in to support."
Battle Information:
The name of this squadron is Espada, spanish (or "Sapinish") for Sword. The Espada, despite being made up of two aircraft, are a formidable force. The two pilots are in in-sync with one another and maintain a great coverage area among one another.
Background:
The 11th Tactical Fighter Squadron was formed out of a group of Mercenaries, and after serving in numerous battles against Belka, joined "A World With No Boundaries" for personal reasons.
The Espada Squadron was tasked with escorting the organization's main transport/moblie headquarters, Hresvelgr. The Hresvelgr was not originally owned by "A World With No Boundaries", nor was it made for them. It was taken by them after the organization gained information on it's location. It's location was believed to be given away by the founder of the group Anton Kupchenko, but this has not been confirmed.
The Espada Squadron was engaged by the Ustian 6th Air Division's 66th Air Force Unit 'Galm', after the XB-0 attacked the 'South Belkan' city of Lumen and later, Valais Air Base. As the Hresvelgr flew North, past Steir Castle in Belka, presumably going towards Avalon Dam, the Galm Team appeared on the battlefield. The Espada engaged the Galm Team, but was shot down within the first stage of the battle. Later, the XB-0 was brought down.
