Sergeant Kenneth [CT-2410]

Sergeant Mercury [CT-3770]

Sergeant Kalinda [CT-3130]

Specialist Digger [CT-4250]

okay so a quick rundown of the squad, who they are and what they do:

They are a division most skilled in aviation, jetpacking, rockets and sniping. Additionally they will provide scouting and rescue ops

They are tactical and ready for whatever comes their way, always sticking to the mission and doing it flawlessly

Their insignia is a Vulptex (crystal fox)

Their colours are deep blue and gold

Skulk Squad, especially, is a tightly knit group and they love each other very much

They have a team droid called RU5-7E, aka Rusty, whose job is maintaining ships and firearms. He is a very meticulous droid and ensures nothing is wrong. He frequents operations and is in charge of navigation when the troops are tired

Skulk Squad have a good reputation for blowing up at least one thing on a mission, nothing compared to the racketous 501st that is

The 311th are close with the 104th in the way that they both do rescue missions and that their generals respect one another. They are both very professional units and sometimes pair up like how the 212th does with the 501st

Now, onto the squad itself:

General Plikh’adi’razna is a female Chiss Jedi known by her core name of Khadira. She is calm, collected and caring, especially to her brothers and sisters of the 311th. She often sleeps in the barracks with her troops and wears the armour alongside her robes. Her lightsaber is blue and was crafted with fine metals from Csilla, her home planet. While Khadira is an excellent liar, she does not fare well on undercover operations. She won’t hesitate to use a blaster (sniper rifles, baby) and is an ace pilot, having been taught by the best of the best. Khadira seems cold at first glance (physically and emotionally) but she doesn’t hide her caring nature behind a façade; she reminds those close to her to look after themselves, reminding them to hydrate or eat a meal — and every once in a while when not knee-deep in combat, Khadira will cook them meals. Her intellect is one of her strongest qualities and can often be found strategising with her commanders. Khadira is no stranger to joking and will disguise her silly jokes behind walls of complexity.

Commander Tal Hardin is a male Twi’lek Jedi padawan, in his youth during the height of the Clone Wars. He has been apprenticed to Khadira since he was twelve (he was fifteen at the start of the war and eighteen at the end). He also wears armour and robes per his own request and happens to be an excellent pilot. He has a knack for painting and collecting rocks, often combining the two past-times and gifting the vode colourful pebbles he finds on missions. Tal is a better pilot than his master but often leaves the flying to the adults. He has a habit of getting into fights even though he is quite composed (if someone says something about his brothers and sisters, he is absolutely ready to throw fists and bust noses). Tal loves to joke around, especially when en route to an op, and can often be seen messing around with Merc and Flint. When he isn’t on a mission, he likes to hang out with the younglings and help them paint whatever they desire. As well as that, Tal has somewhat of a need to document his journeys and carries a holo recorder with him, capturing every moment. His lightsaber is indigo.

Commander Alasdair (CC-4440) is the commander of the 311th. He is a tactical and serious man, taking his job quite seriously. His specialty lies within recon and recovery but will go frontline and centre. He has a strong sense of leadership and is quick to take point in any situation, being sharp-witted and ready for anything. When he isn’t on an op, Alasdair is slumped in with filing reports and needing a relaxing bath. When he gets too stressed, his vode make it their goal to cheer him up, showing the love that they have for one another. Alasdair is responsible for all of the plants in the 311 barracks and finds tending to them the most therapeutic activity. He asks Tal to give them all names and he delivers, finding a friend in the young padawan (at this point, Tal is like his son or nephew). At first, he was a little wary of Khadira but over the course of a few months, Alasdair grew to like her a lot, to the point of admiration. They treat each other like old friends and often get together and go plant shopping when off-duty. His name is pronounced as Ah-less-dare.

Captain Bhatair (CT-4441) is the captain of the 311th. He is known best as the primary sniper for Skulk Squad and it shows. He is all about experience and following the rules, much like Commander Alasdair. Bhatair is a quiet and soft-spoken man, often keeping to himself and minding his own. However, he is not by any means an introvert and finds himself out with the vode at 79’s on a free day. His close-range vision isn’t the best and on a bad day he can have something right in front of him and miss it completely. But this only means he is an excellent scout and sniper. Bhatair and Alasdair are batch twins but Bhatair will never hear the end of his code being the odd one out. He likes cooking with Catcher and goes out to find ingredients of his own. He trusts Khadira and Tal with his life and vice versa. Bhatair is also surprisingly good at space board games. His name is pronounced Vah-tair (alternatively Wa-tair), like the air in hair.

Lieutenant Catcher (CT-3690) is one of the lieutenants of the 311th. He is known as Skulk Squad’s medic rifleman and is always prepared for an emergency. His tendency to be prepared comes in handy for every situation, be it an actual medical issue or something mundane. Catcher is also the renowned chef of the group and tries to ensure that his family eat more than the useless ration bars. He is kind, gentle and never raises his voice out of anger, for he’s extremely patient with people and animals. He’s the type to embrace mistakes and is often seen as the group’s mother figure, as Catcher is the one they all go to when they have a problem, big or small. Catcher enjoys space baseball and that’s where his name originated from. Because of his liking to the sport, Catcher is an fantastic grenadier and has the best arm out of the GAR. Nickname is Catch.

Lieutenant Flint (CT-3360) is the second lieutenant of the 311th. He is a joker, the lovable class-clown of Skulk Squad. His joy in life is making others laugh, or at least pulling a harmless prank on them. He and Mercury should not be allowed near each other or in the same room better yet. He favours doing the mission his way, but if given strict orders, he will follow them to the key. Preferring the classic akimbo blaster pistols, Flint loves to charge head first into battle. He often ends up the most injured after every mission and he pretends to give Catcher a headache (although Catch is quite happy to fix Flint up every day or so). Flint is one of the more charismatic members of the 311th and often strikes up conversations with civilians because who will stop him? He acts first and thinks much, MUCH later, but always has the best interest at heart. His name originated from the time he tripped during live training and ended up with a bit of flint in his head.

Sergeant Kenneth (CT-2410) is the first sergeant of the 311th. He is the go-to explosives and weapons expert, in charge of making sure his fellow troops are well-armed and their gear is maintained. He likes to get the mission done and then carry on with his day, straightforward. Kenneth hates wasting time and doesn’t tolerate it when his vode mess about on missions. He can be a little standoffish to newcomers, but he is always, always caring to civvies, valuing their lives most importantly. When he isn’t tending to weapons, Kenneth likes to build things, or rather dabble in carpentry. He is also Rusty’s best friend, always hanging around the team droid whenever he can (they are besties, your honour). He is no stranger to snide comments if something annoys him. Nickname is Ken, like space Barbie’s Ken.

Sergeant Mercury (CT-3770) is the second sergeant of the 311th. He is the musician of the group and aims to make his squadmates happy, much like Flint. He is easily the most artistic member of the squadron and adorns his standard-issue rifle in glow-in-the-dark stickers. Merc loves all things neon and bright, his hair always ending up something of the like, usually pink. His vode tease him for breaking into the coolant because of this. He’s a gentle and caring man, and especially with children. Mercury is somewhat of a secondary medic to Catcher, since he was originally a medic but dropped out when he realised how gruesome the job was. He retains his knowledge and is always ready to help when he can. Merc often gifts his siblings with random trinkets he picks up on missions. He is like a corvid, he can’t resist shiny things. Merc is equipped with pockets and pouches on his armour filled with all sorts of tidbits, like glow-sticks, snacks or his space harmonica. He also has a multi-use computer screen on his vambrace (can jack into droid ports, play his tunes on his speaker, do medical scans on the fly, map reading etc etc). He also pays visits to Corrie HQ and plays songs to keep the Guard entertained. Loves Tal like a son.

Sergeant Kalinda (CT-3130) is the third sergeant of the 311th. She is the explosives expert of the squad, definitely more invested than Ken. Not only that, she is the second sniper of the group, just behind Bhatair. Kalinda is a fast thinker and strategist, often hatching plans with her general. She is fearless and is the icon of bravery for the 311th. She is the big sister of the group and teases her brothers often. Kalinda has been nicknamed the Firebird for her tendency to use fire explosives on missions. While a bit of a pyromaniac, Kalinda is one of the most sensible members of Skulk Squad and loves her team more than anything in the galaxy. Her nickname is Kal, never Linda. The last person who called her Linda got a smack in the face, curtesy of Alasdair. She likes to sing along with Mercury’s harmonica and often sit around bonfires/campfires just to make music and enjoy life. She is the only member of the group except Khadira who is fluent in Mando’a. Speaking of, Khadira and Kalinda are very close and are practically like sisters.

Specialist Digger (CT-4250) is a specialist agent of the 311th. He was transferred late to the squad (the last year in the war after his previous battalion was wiped clean) and took some time fitting in. He is a chill and likeable man, often just going with the wave that comes his way. He is best known for his superb jetpacking skills. He likes to dig a lot, with shovels, with spades, with his bare hands, whatever the reason, Digger will be digging on a mission. His nickname is Digs, rightfully coined by Flint.

Some author’s notes:

Some of their names are Scottish Gaelic to represent me as a person (namely Alasdair and Bhatair, Alexander and Walter as their English equivalents respectively)

The first person created for this squadron was Mercury as I had little to no SW ocs

Kalinda is my crumb of trans rep for my ocs and I love her very much!

Merc was first introduced in the wonderful fanfic metamorphosis by my main brother @fooolisher (please go check it out, it really explores Clone Trooper Sister and her origin! it’s beautifully written too)

Digger’s first battalion was indeed Sha Koon’s battalion after the battle of Giju. After seeing his commander die and his general end up severely wounded, Digger filed a transfer with Plo Koon and Plo made sure that Digger went to a good squad, thus ending up with Skulk Squad

Skulk Squad is named after a skulk of foxes, a reference to the Vulptex

Khadira possesses the Plikh name of the Nine Ruling Families of the Chiss Ascendency and I have no idea why or how she ended up across the galaxy as a Jedi

There is a running joke within the squad that everyone has the number zero at the end of their code except Bhatair, who has a one

Skulk Squad make fun of the 501st, lovingly of course

They have a gunship called The Daunting and their republic cruiser is aptly named The Dauntless

Thanks for making it this far, folks! 💜
