100% concentrated star power.



About the Sirens

A peacetime-formed squad, the Sirens are a unit with a heavy emphasis on strategy, precision, and timing. The squad is not intended to function in combat on its own- in the event that they are called to action, they are generally expected to aid other combat units by providing covering fire, sniper support, scouting, and distractions. Combat plans are largely decided on before any fighting takes place- deviations from the plan are very rare, and potentially devastating if they happen at the wrong time. As a result, composure and the willingness to obey orders are traits that are valued very highly among the ranks of the Sirens, as being able to stick to the plan even under extreme pressure is imperative to their success as a unit. If there's a possibility of someone freaking out in the middle of a mission, chances are that they don't belong here.

While their capabilities in combat are no joke, one might argue that the main reason for the Sirens' existence is their PR side. The members of the squad are immensely popular celebrities (even for Pilots) and are typically expected to spend more time performing for and appealing to fans than they spend preparing for combat. This gives rise to another desirable quality in the Sirens, that being the ability to stay out of trouble, at least when they're in view of the public eye. A very important part of their job is making sure that they (and, by extension, all Pilots) maintain their positive image for the general public.

Squad Roles

There aren't really any set in stone roles for this squadron- any number of squadron members might be called in to aid in a military operation while others are busy performing their PR duties, so they avoid relying too much on any one person performing a specific task. Generally, the role a specific squad member will perform will vary based on which members are present and what the combat situation specifically calls for.



General History

There's not much of significance to speak of, or at least not yet. What is known is that the Sirens were formed mostly with PR in mind- give more people one more reason to hold Pilots in high regard. A pretty big reason that they exist in the first place was simply in order to take advantage of Merydia's large consumer base. However, a squad can't expect to be taken seriously based solely on the popularity of its members- they needed to be capable in combat, too. Luckily, there was a local Pilot who was known not only for his considerable fanbase, but also for his impressive record in combat: Pilot Royal Zeiss Pepper. The Kitsuni isn't quite as obsessed with being in the spotlight as he'd once been, but the chance to form his own squad wasn't an opportunity he was about to pass up. Taking on the role of Commander, Zeiss quickly began to search for potential squad members- people who could hold their own in combat, while also being instantly recognizable by a massive portion of the population. The squad may have been formed for the purposes of PR, but that just gives them something to prove...

Not only are they more than capable of kicking some ass, they can look extremely good while doing it.
