Unit USW-JS-08, The Rogues
Originally Known as 'The Steel Hornets', under the command of Sgt. Riley Kleis, the 8th squadron endured a severe tragedy that claimed nearly all of it's members. As of now, the squad is in the process of rebuilding itself, and forgetting it's past.
Sgt. Trinka Katanori, age 16
The only original surviving member of the Steel Hornets, Sgt. Katanori has strived to reclaim the former status her squad once carried in the defense of Ascention Bay. She's seen as compassionate, but also rather reckless in her recent operations, desperate for success.
Cpl. Hawke Dierten, Age 16
A surviving 'Steel Hornet', Hawke was originally part of the 38th expeditionary unit, lost in the brazilian rain forest and selected by Sgt. Kleis to act as the 8th's communications officer. Incredibly skilled, Trinka heavily relies on Hawke's experience in every aspect of the squad's operations.
Cpl. Rayde Estrada, Age 15
Little is known of the young half-xenoid, as most of his prior operations have been erased, along with most of his memories. Many assume he was heavily involved in the U.E.D.I.'s 'wet work', labeling him a dangerous character. Regardless, his skills as a mechanic and Gun-Driver pilot are welcome in the 8th squadron.
Dorul Leuki Nora, Age 14 human years
A young 'xenoid' diplomat involved with an orbital incident, Leuki crashed landed in the USW district, only to be rescued by the Rogues after the recovery team was attacked by hostile mechanoids. Utilizing her diplomatic abilities, she resides with the 8th squadron after requesting Rayde act as her bodyguard during delegations.
Pvt. 'Jinxie' and 'Jukes' Perrington, Age 11
Jenralda and Jurek happen to be not only prodigy Gun-Driver pilots, they also happen to be the twin children of General Arctus Perrington, Chief Commander of the U.S.W. defense protocol. No squad wanted the General's kids as members and the 8th was tricked into taking them through a deliberate clerical error. While remarkably talented, the twins are prone to constant bickering and antics, making them a high maintenance asset for the Rogues , who have only recently been cleared for outer-city state operations, much to Perrington's staff's dismay.
