The Independence Flight is made up of three squadrons: Freedom Squadron (Lead by the CAG), Justice Squadron (Lead by the DCAG), and Opportunity Squadron (Lead by the Senior Pilot). Each squadron is made up of two flights (pairs of fighters) for a total of four fighters per squadron. Each fighter is made up of a Pilot and a Tactical Systems Operator (TSO) in the second seat. However, in an emergency situation a fighter can be manned by just a pilot. On the USS Tiger, maintenance and engineering crew are not assigned to a specific fighter, as is normally the case, but rather share responsibility for all fighters in order to conserve resources. When the Independence Flight is deployed the OAG reports to the bridge (often taking the Helm position) to coordinate the action with the Tiger. | The Independence Flight is made up of three squadrons: Freedom Squadron (Lead by the CAG), Justice Squadron (Lead by the DCAG), and Opportunity Squadron (Lead by the Senior Pilot).

===Strike Missions=== | ===Strike Missions=== | ||
Strike missions are Fighter-to-ship attacks. Used mostly as a decoy as Fighters have a low survivability against the heavier weapons of any full-sized Starship. At the same time even a flight of strike craft properly coordinated can overwhelm a ships defensive systems. Fighters such as the Maul carry enough of a payload to deliver a devastating attack against most ships. Because of their maneuverability and overall nimbleness pin-point attacks can cripple or destroy a target, so this is a viable offensive weapon. | Strike missions are Fighter-to-ship attacks.
