Fischer's First

Fischer's First is the name given to the Spearbreakers Army's 1st squad, 1st Company sometime after Savero's term as overseer.
==Composition and Role==
The squad is always composed primarily of pikedwarves, with 4 other soldiers armed with different weapons in the past as well to add flexability. It is always led by the Fortress Champion, and is effectivly the "Shock and Awe" unit, generally hitting attackers quickly with a small but highly trained group and following various military reforms, utterly demolishing most threats.
The squad served as first responders throughout its life, and retained the name of Fischer's First even after she no longer lead and presumably well after she no longer lived, out of respect for the dwarven heroine. When the fortress fell an undetermined amount of time later after the last recorded overseership, it was likely the members of this squad fought the hardest but were ultimately the first to fall, likely leading to the fortress' utter collapse as morale plumetted despite the remaining troops and the nobles trying to rally the citzens to save the fortress.
