The Ryun Ravens
Offensive Stealth and Fear Strike Force
Recite your prayers, worthless craven,
For your soul, there is no haven,
On silent ebon wings,
The death knell rings,
For your end was foretold by the Raven.
I. About the RavensThe Ravens are deadly assassins and battlefield game changers. A tactical stealth squad deployed with a singular purpose: seek and destroy. When you need to sow chaos among enemy ranks with key target eliminations there is no better person for the job than a Raven. The mere mention of a feathered black menace can freeze the blood of even staunch enemies of Aedolis. As to be expected, it requires a very special type of Pilot to be considered for a position on the Ryun squad. Ravens must be cunning, ruthless, and terrifying. In addition, Psionics and skills that allows one to kill while remaining undetected is paramount to almost any other qualifier.
Among their ranks there is a very strict combat doctrine. Assassination with a side of sabotage is their bread and butter. Stealth is vital, mistakes are intolerable and costly. Unlike many squads, Ravens frequently operate alone or in pairs. While the emphasis on team cohesion may seem less important, it is required that the squad be able to function as a singular unit for large-scale operations. During such missions the squad requires telepathic ability to meld into an almost seamless hive mind with each individual able to interpret and respond to all incoming information.
When not out on missions, every Raven has a very strict training regime consisting of stealth drills and simulations. Most physical training revolved around honing reflexes or practicing with high-tech infiltration equipment. All Ravens must be able to do basic upkeep and maintenance on their gear and be proficient in its operation. Most real-world practice is carried out in The Midhaven, with squad members putting their skills to the test by seeking out and killing targets matching randomly generated criteria.
HeadquartersSituated centrally on one of the largest islands that make up the Ryun dome is the Headquarters of the Ravens squadron. The building is a hulking stone and concrete bastion, fortified as a stronghold a long time ago and reinforced in the present to serve the men and women known to be one of the deadliest squadrons in Aedolis. Known simply as Nevermore, the HQ is a veritable fortress adorned with gargoyles in the form of malevolent ravens.
A raven sculpted from onyx welcomes visitors at the entrance, wings spread above the doorway as a silent guardian. Once inside there is only an imposing foyer to greet you. Sitting in the center is another statue; this one of four ravens each one facing a cardinal direction, water spilling from their silently cawing beaks into the fountain below.
No hallways lead off from the otherwise empty room. To go deeper into Nevermore one must either know the location of the hidden doors and many twisting, confusing secret passages or be escorted by someone who does.

IV.Squad Roles[These are specific sub-roles that are fulfilled by specific members of the squadron to form the full unit. The basic structure is that of a ten man squadron, headed by the two commanding officers, the Squadron Commander and Squadron Leader. This particular role structure differs wildly from team to team, based on that particular team's specific modus operandi (ie. a stealth based team will have far more supporting/stealth based operatives versus heavy weapons experts).]_______________
