New Name

I talked to Mr.Wallace 2-day and he said that the "180 first" has already been taken.
So try and think up of some new names!!

I'm all for the "Sith Lords". I wonder who has our name.

 

What about the "181st Tiger Squadron"? We can use both the 181st AND Tiger Squadron as official names, incorporating the coolness and diversity of the 181st from the EU and Tiger Squadron because we already have it as a possible name. We can use both the "8 Ball" logo as well as any cool looking Tiger art we might find.

 

Now THAT is a cool name.

 

Awesome name dathmrw!

 

Hey guys!

What's the significance of the 181 in your name?

Just curious.

 

Dude. That's cool.

 

Here is the write-up from theforce.net. We are incorporating both Tiger Squadron(rebel leanings) and 181st (Imperial leanings) to have the "Best of Both Worlds" {{sounds like another series, huh??}}

Sontir Fel, a Correlian contemporary of Han Sol in the EU. Fel was assigned to the 37th Imperial Fighter Wing before transferring to Prefsbelt IV as a flight instructor. After receiving high honors, Fel actually was responsible for the training of Tycho Celchu, Biggs Darklighter, and Hobbie Klivian. He was offered a position in Moff Tarkin's bodyguard unit by Tarkin himself, but the defection of Biggs Darklighter and Derek Klivian relegated Fel to the 181st Imperial Fighter Group, which was under the command of Evir Derricote. They scored a hollow victory at Ord Biniir, on the same day as the Battle of Yavin, but Fel was given a commendation on Coruscant in an effort to bolster Imperial morale. There, he met Wynssa Starflare, and they fell deeply in love. Shortly afterward, Fel became known to Ysanne Isard, who challenged his loyalty by trying to seduce him. He refused, and although she praised his loyalty, she also hated him. Fel saw through Isard's ploy and into the heart of the Empire, and didn't like what he saw. He also saw that the Emperor's non-human bias was only as good as the air around it, once Thrawn began to rise through the ranks. Fel found himself admiring Thrawn's plans for the ambush which destroyed the Alliance's supply convoy near Derra IV, but could not reconcile Palpatine's hypocrisy. Although he was promoted to Colonel and given command of the entire 181st Fighter Group, Fel became disheartened with the Empire. Ysanne Isard's sacrifice of an entire fighter wing to lure Rogue Squadron to Brentaal was an action he couldn't reconcile in his own mind. After the 181st was sent to Brentaal to help defend the world - more of an exercise to bring down the Cabal that to save the planet - Fel decided that enough was enough. When the New Republic had defeated the Imperials, Fel was captured when Colonel Salm hit his Interceptor with an ion cannon blast, rendering his fighter inoperative. Shortly before the Battle of Brentaal, he had arranged for Wynssa - now his wife - to disappear. He pledged to help the New Republic if they would help him locate Wynssa, a proposition to which the Republic's Starfighter Command agreed. However, Fel soon turned his back on the Republic and returned to Imperial service. Wedge Antilles, the real-life brother of Wynssa Starflare, thought he had encountered Fel again, during the series of skirmishes against the Warlord Zsinj.

So there is the story of the 181st and Baron Sontir Fel. Cool guy, huh???
