Specter Squadron was an Osean Maritime Defense Force patrol and anti-submarine warfare squadron which saw deployment during the Lighthouse War.
History[]
On September 14, 2019, Specter Squadron was deployed to PX80443 in the Spring Sea, where they participated in Operation Fisherman. After arriving in the area, Specter began deploying a sonobuoy barrier in order to help detect the rogue Erusean submarine Alicorn.[1]
During the operation, the squadron came under attack by SACS and multiple SLUAVs. Despite this, they still managed to complete their operation with defense provided by the Long Range Strategic Strike Group and other Osean aircraft.[1]
Trigger located the submarine after Specter narrowed down the Alicorn's potential position. The participating Osean Navy vessels launched VL-ASROCs at the Alicorn, forcing it to surface. Specter continued to provide support in the ensuing battle by detecting the Alicorn each time it was about to surface.[1]
The ultimate fate of Specter Squadron depends on the player. At least one Specter aircraft needs to survive the initial stage of "Ten Million Relief Plan", but the remaining aircraft can be shot down by enemy aircraft during the main fight with the Alicorn. It is possible, but difficult, to complete the mission without losing any Specter aircraft.[1]
