'''Vigilance Starfighter Group''' (VSG) was the unit that is based on both [[X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter]] and [[X-Wing Alliance]].  It was founded on November 21, 2006 by the merger of the [[RgF]] and the [[IBG]].


=== Officers ===
Fictionally, the VSG is one of two subdivisions of the ''Starfighter Corps'', part of Task Force Republic Shield. Formed after the [[Battle of Blerthmore]], Vigilance is the conglomerate of the remaining Renegade and Intrepid Groups. The office of the CO, who coordinates all group's starfigher operations, is aboard the Imperial-class Star Destroyer [[Redemption (ISD)|Redemption]].
The success of the new fleet will heavily depend on the hard work and dedication of its officers.  


==Command Staff==


The Command Staff of the new fleet will be composed of the following:
* Commanding Officer: BGN [[Richo]]
* Commanding Officer
* Acting Executive Officer: LCL [[Adam Mieter]]
* Executive Officer  
* Internet Officer: LGN [[Kirghy Lommax]]
* Second Officer (It can be disputed that SO is an unnecessary position and thus will not initially be filled.)
* Training Officer: ADM [[Tyrell "Spokes" Borran]]


=Former Commanding Officers=


In addition to the Command Staff, the following positions will need filled:
November 21, 2006 - January 14, 2007: '''MGN''' [[Rekio Corsair]]<br>
* Seven (7) Squadron Commanders
January 14, 2007 - May 4, 2007:  '''GEN''' [[David "Heavy" Pasiechnyk]]<br>
* Two (2) Flight Instructors (Alternatively referred to as TCO and TXO)
May 5, 2007 - July 7, 2007:  '''CMDR''' [[Olith Hesto]]<br>
July 22, 2007 - February 18, 2010:  '''MGN''' [[Kirghy Lommax]]<br>
February 18, 2010 - Present:  '''BGN''' [[Richo]]


<small>'''**NOTE: ''Ranks listed are during time of service.''**'''</small>


In order to improve the efficiency of the command structure and to keep officers from spreading themselves too thinly, the new
==The VSG Training Officer==
fleet will impose a rule that will limit officers to one position per person.
The VSG Training Officer (TO) is the commanding officer of the VSG Training Office. This office exists to provide instruction and assistance to new members of the Vigilance Starfighter Group. Information on custom mission installation, flying multiplayer, and creating mission narratives is available for both platforms ([[XvT]] and [[XWA]]). The Training Office is also the administrative home of [[Marshall Squadron]].  


===History===
The VSG Training Office was opened in January 2007, shortly after the creation of the VSG, to free up the Fleet CO from instructing Cadets. Information was compiled and updated from the old [[Renegade Fleet]] and [[IBG]] academy websites to create the [http://vsg.rebelsquadrons.org/academy/ VSG Academy website]. A list of Officers, past and present, of the VSG Training Office is shown below:


In addition, the following expectations and guidelines will be set for the following positions:

=== Units ===
{{VSG}}
The new fleet will utilize a streamlined command structure that removes the redundancy of a Wing Command Staff. Thus, Squadron Commanders will report directly to the Fleet Command; likewise with the Training and Auxiliary staff.
{{Fleets}}


 
[[Category:Fleets and Divisions]]
 
==== Wings ====
Due to the extent to which Wings are no longer a main source of activity, the mergered fleet will contain no wings, with the exception of support wings if at all. The additional strain on filling Wing command positions, in combination with no wing-level activity or otherwise competitions, make it an extraneous step in the fleet's hierarchy and thus the new fleet will be without wings.
 
 
 
==== Squadrons ====
Initially, the will be three XWA squadrons carried over from the IBG and three XvT squadrons carried over from the RgF. These squadrons will remain intact expect where conflicts occur. Pilots in more than one squadron will have to choose which squadron they preferred to remain with.
 
 
Squadrons will be chosen by dropping the least active from each of the contributing fleets. Thus, the new fleet will be composed of the following squadrons:
 
 
* Dagger (XWA)
* Wildcard (XWA)
* Phalcun (XWA)
* Resurrection (XvT)
* Ragnarok (XvT)
* Dragon (XvT)
* Red Dragon (XvT)
* New Squadron? (XWA&XvT)
 
 
At first, we should anticipate having 3 squadrons competing in XvT and 3 competing in XWA, with handful of pilots flying both missions. Inevitably, the goal is to have pilots from all the squadrons competing in both missions. This can be accomplished with plenty of encouragement from the Fleet Command and well placed ISOs of the games.
 
 
 
====Training Units====
As one possibility, the fleet’s training academy will consist of two squadrons: on for XvT (Marshall) and one for XWA (Incubator). The Training Officer and Executive Training Officer will double as the XWA and XvT Instructors. Additional training squadrons, such as Top Gun program may be created later as the need arises.
 
 
Alternatively, an entire training wing may not be necessary. Two Flight Instructors, each assigned to a flight designated by platform may be sufficient to initiate pilots into the fleet.
 
 
Other alternatives might be considered pending a revision of the RS Training Office operations.
 
 
 
==== Auxiliary Units ====
The purpose of these auxiliary units will be to provide various types of services and support to the fleet; e.g. ITOD design. Additional support units will be created as needed, but this is not anticipated.
 
 
The ITOD Team will consist of three parts:
* Design Team
* XWA Mission Team
* XvT Mission Team
 
 
The head of the ITOD Team will be the lead designer and creator of the current tour. Lead Designers will be rotated every tour, to provide fresh ideas and stories. The Design team will include the Lead Designer, the Logistics Officer (for council) and two other functionaries with writing or other creative process experience. The Missions teams will consist of a builder and three testers. The testers and builders my be rotated as the Lead Designer sees fit. The smooth operation of the ITOD Team is of paramount importance
 
 
 
== Management and Operations ==
 
=== Activities ===
 
==== ITODs and Narratives ==== (Including killboard and storyline) -
 
 
All pilots will be able to participate in both missions. The new fleet will have two separate scoreboards, one for XWA and one for XvT. There are two methods by which this can be done on the database.
 
* Assuming a common storyline, the missions will be listed as VSF 101 (XWA) and VSF 101 (XvT).
* Alternatively, if there are two separate storylines, the two storylines will have individual names e.g. Vermillion for XvT and Shadowbane for XWA.
 
 
The creation and development of the ITODs will remain the responsibility of the ITOD Team as described above.
 
 
Currently serving as Lead Designer for Tour 1 is David Vaughan. His story will incorporate a number of new design elements and be tying up loose ends form previous tours.
 
'''Note:''' It has been purposed that with the new fleet, we make a full switch to using BoP instead of XvT.
 
==== League of Interpersonal Competition & MP ==== (Including WoW & ICTE)
 
 
These competitions will continue to function as they always have, under the direction and supervision of the Operations Officer and with the full encouragement and support of the Fleet Command Staff. Rewards will be provided as appropriate through the RS Merit system, medals, promotions, and fleet reward systems.
 
 
Pending review, the points system of the LIC might undergo revision to allow a more direct competition between XWA and XvT pilots and be evaluated to be incorporated as a form an MP scoreboard and be paired with a mini RS merit system.
 
 
 
==== OITODs ====
As popularity for the missions rises, new missions will come out, much as with the regular TODs. OITODs may or may not be under the supervision of the TOD Team or a separate team.
 
 
 
=== Awards ===
 
 
 
==== Merits ====
 
 
 
==== Medals ====
 
* '''Honorary-type Medal''' -
Because every fleet will want to have some super-high up award for their fleets.
 
 
* '''Top Squadron Medal''' -
For the top squadron of every ITOD/OITOD mission.
 
* '''Super Ace Medal''' -
For the individual winners of every ITOD/OITOD mission.
 
* '''Best Narrative Medal''' -
For the best narrative every mission.
 
 
* '''Tour Champion Medal''' -
For the individual winner of a tour. Distinguished Flying Cross
 
* '''Champion Squadron Medal''' -
For the top squadron of a tour.
 
 
* '''Gold Medal''' -
For first in LIC.
 
* '''Silver Medal''' -
For second in LIC.
 
* '''Bronze Medal''' -
For third in LIC.
 
== Additional Considerations ==
 
=== Bylaws ===
Noticeably one of the immediate objections to the purposed fleet merger is that the new structure is in clear violation of the bylaws which govern the entire club. In defense of this proposal, times have changed; unnecessary command structure is a waste on an already thin leadership resource and is otherwise detrimental to the successful operation of this fleet.
