Capitol Ghost Wing
by Brian J. Bair

Not many, even in Capitols armed forces know much about these omniscient warriors. The Ghost Wing of the Freedom Bird is a legend told to many young Capitolians. The deeds and heroic acts have immortalized their name. Few have withstood their fury and might. Some tales even recount them as fighting along side the Cardinal as they made the assault on Algeroths citadel. Many believe the Ghost Wing is a part of history. But to the Sunset Strikers, and a few high-ranking members of the Brotherhood and Capitol military command, Ghost Wing is all too frighteningly real. Heroes from Sunset Strikers with an exemplary record are asked to join Ghost Wing, a highly classified organization based on Mercury. Mainly used for recon, surveillance, and assaults against the Dark Legion on the outer planets. Because the are a Capitolian organization, their actions are Capitols responsibility, and cannot be retraced back to the Brotherhood. Ghost Wing has also been deployed (rarely) against Mishima in dire situations on Mercury. This was only to prevent their existence from being known to the general public. Only one Mishiman is known to escape from their wraith alive. However, in a weeks time he disappeared without a trace.

During recent times, though, a squad of Desert Scorpions, who were servailing a fortified Dark Legion position on Io witnessed an assault consisting of Mortificators, Inqusitors, Ghost Wing, and another unknown force. The Scorpions recognized the Ghost Wing emblem on the warriors shoulder pads from descriptions found in history books and inscribed in the Sixth Chronicles, The Venusian Crusade. After they gave their report, the squad was reported as "missing in action" two days later.

Rumors now concerning Ghost Wings existence are increasing. Other corporations are now trying to confirm these rumors. If they are true, their ancient knowledge, power, and crusade against the darkness lies in jeopardy.

NEW WEAPONS

M20 Tempest Handgun

Built in accordance with Cybertronic, this handgun has made its way the special forces on Mercury who specialize in close combat. Keeping an ever-vigilant eye on the constant threat of Mishima, these forces put their lives in their abilities and the performance of their weapons. The Tempest has proven itself time and time again in countless battles and covert operations. Reliable, powerful, and light, this is truly a technological marvel.

Freedom's Might

This battle blade is a deadlier version of the Punisher Blade. Both sides of the blade have been sharpened to near perfection (with a little help from the Art). Thus, the blade can make sweep attacks. These blades have only been in the hands of the members of Ghost Wing, unless otherwise stated.
