| − | A product of the [[SoroSuub Corporation]], the ''Thunderchild'' was one of the first vessels to leave the SoroSuub yards after the liberation of [[Sullust]] from the [[Galactic Empire]]. Though near to completion already, she became one of the first ships that was officially commissioned for the [[Rebel Alliance]], rather than being accquired by the Alliance through third parties or other means.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The ''Thunderchild'' served as part of the [[103rd Interdictor Squadron]] during the [[Liberation of Bothawui]]. A Quarren officer - Captain [[Quan Marivva]] - was assigned aboard as the Commanding Officer. The vessel has subsequently been reassigned.

| − | ==== Air Group ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The ''Thunderchild'' carries six Starfighter squadrons, as well as an additional Airspeeder squadron to provide air support cover for ground troops.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''1 (Ace) Squadron''' - The first of seven squadrons aboard the ''Thunderchild'', this [[RZ-1 A-Wing Interceptor]] squadron flies under the callsign "Ace", and represents the Air Wing's rapid-response fighter screen. The Aces are always the first unit launched, and because of the prestigious nickname and the hard-to-handle nature of their high-speed craft, the unit is usually populated by hotshot veteran pilots. Her gold-on-red colour scheme is inspired by an old maratime signal flag used on Corellia, representing the Number 1.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''2 (Deuce) Squadron''' - The second ''Thunderchild'' squadron, Deuce Squadron is one of three [[T-65B X-Wing Starfighter]] squadrons that make up the affectionately-nicknamed "X Wing". With her sister squadrons (3 and 4), she provides the majority of the Wing's space superiority cover. Of the three X-Wing units the members of 2 Squadron are considered the least combat experience: almost a training squadron, with pilots transferred to other units as they become more adept. Based on the Number 2 signal flag, Deuce Squadron sports a red-on-gold paint scheme.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''3 (Trinity) Squadron''' - Members of 3 Squadron fly under the callsign "Trinity". The second member of "X Wing", Trinity Squadron again provides space superiority cover for the ''Thunderchild'' and her forces. 3 Squadron is considered to be the "medium" unit aboard the ''Thunderchild'', although because of resent losses the boundries between the various units have become somewhat hazy. Trinity Squadron sports red-on-blue colours.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''4 (Terror) Squadron''' - Officially classified as Tera Squadron in reference to the scientific prefix associated with the number four, the callsign became corrupted among pilots partly because of the verbal similarity between the words, and partly because "Terror Squadron" was considered to have a more menacing sound. Led by the ''Thunderchild'' senior pilot, 4 Squadron is considered to be the elite unit aboard the Carrier, although that may well be through force of habit rather than the actual skills of the pilots. A placement in Terror Squadron is considered to be the most prestigious within the ''Thunderchild'' Air Wing. 4 Squadron sports red paintwork, detailed with a white diagonal cross. They are the third and final member of "X Wing".
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''5 (Ether) Squadron''' - Ether Squadron is named for the "fifth element" present in the history of some planetary cultures in the old Galactic Republic. One of two [[B-Wing Assault Fighter]] units aboard the ''Thunderchild'', 5 Squadron sports gold paintwork with a blue diagonal cross as detailing.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''6 (Hex) Squadron''' - The second B-Wing unit, Hex Squadron is the sixth and final Starfighter squadron stationed aboard the ''Thunderchild''. Her paintwork features blue and white diagonal stripes.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''7 (Zetta) Squadron''' - A dedicated Airspeeder unit, Zetta Squadron exists primarily to provide air support to the occupants of the 20 ''Bantha'' Assault Shuttles that the ''Thunderchild'' is able to deploy. Previously equipped with the [[T-47 Airspeeder]] model, the squadron now employs the more advanced [[V-Wing Airspeeder]], sporting white-on-red paintwork.
