Havoc Squad

"We must fight—to victory, or death—for the Republic!"

- Havoc Squad's commander

Havoc Squad was an elite special forces squad of Republic troopers in the army of the Galactic Republic, who fought against the Sith Empire during the Great Galactic War. Led by their brave commander, Havoc Squad saw action on many fronts throughout the war, from Ord Mantell to the Battle of Alderaan, and even after the Treaty of Coruscant was signed, the commandos of Havoc Squad continued to combat Sith threats during the resulting Cold War.

History
"Let's go—move it out! Flank 'em!"

- Havoc Squad's commander during the Battle of Alderaan

Havoc Squad's creation was part of the larger introduction of Galactic Republic special forces commandos following the departure of the Jedi from Coruscant for the planet Tython. The squad saw action in many Cold War hot spots, including the civil war on Ord Mantell and the Battle of Alderaan. Led by a brave commanding officer, Havoc Squad helped reclaim Alderaan from the forces of the Sith Empire under the leadership of the Sith Lord, Darth Malgus. During the battle on Alderaan, Havoc Squad fought and killed numerous Imperial Troopers, Assault Droids and Sith alike, though the squad was considerably outnumbered. During the battle, Satele Shan arrived to aid Havoc Squad in combating Darth Malgus' Sith forces, slaying a number of Sith Warriors before defeating Malgus in single combat, effectively allowing the Republic to emerge victorious from the guerrilla conflict.

Equipment
Havoc Squad's soldiers made use of Republic trooper battle armor, with red-orange colored markings adorning the plates. In addition, bandoleers and pauldrons were available accessories for wear with their armor. The squad made use of a number of heavy weapons including assault rifles, hand-held missile launchers, portable blaster cannons similar in appearance to the much later Clone Wars-era Z-6 rotary cannon, and thermal detonators, along with sidearm blaster pistols and combat knives.
