6th Marine Starfighter Squadron

The 6th Marine Starfighter Squadron, callsign Deathball, was a starfighter attached to the Republic Marines' 2nd Marine Aerospace Wing. Throughout its operational history, the 6th tended toward assignments that saw them serving as adjuncts to frontier outposts that had been established on planets in the Outer Rim Territories, close to the edge of space. Like all Marine starfighter units, they were also assigned to carrier duty when the need arose.
