A Brief History of the 45th Tigers
---------------------------------------------

The 45th Volunteers (as they were originaaly known), were quickly formed to help the Alliance replace its depleted numbers at the outset of the Sol War. Comprised mainly of former military and civilian personnel, the 45th was under the command of squadron leader Maria Enriquez, a skilled tactician who had earned several commendations as a combat pilot. Short on training, the 45th had a lot to prove in a short period of time.

The rag tag outfit that had little hope of surviving the early months of the conflict became the only remaining Volunteer squadron still operative. They were fast becoming one of the Alliance's top squadrons and had survived several high-risk operations. Led by Maria Enriquez, the Tigers were known for their guts and tenacity in combat, with an ability to react to situations as they arose. Their kill ratio for capital ships and fighters was now one of the highest among Alliance squadrons
