Ghost Squadron

**Task Force Raptor**(later known as **Ghost Soldiers**or **Ghost Squadron**) is the name given to a squad of GRU operatives and Russian Army soldiers deployed to Venezuela during the War on the Eternals. They were deployed to Venezuela to provide covert aid to the Venezuelan rebels during the Russian intervention during the Venezuelan Conflict. However, after a mission gone wrong that left hundreds of soldiers dead, they were mistakenly left behind, presumed dead by their own government. As of 2021, the remnants of Task Force Raptor, now known as the **Ghost Squadron**, are trapped in Venezuela, unable to contact the outside world to let them know of their survival.

## Equipment

During its early years as a unit within the Russian military, the Raptors' arsenal was advanced and very diverse. Soldiers were seen wielding most Russian and NATO weaponry. They wore clothes similar to soldiers in the Russian Ground Forces, such as 6B-43 tactical vests and helmets (on par with NATO standards), and appropriate camouflage attire for their operational environments.

After being abandoned by the government due to being presumed dead, the Raptors gradually changed in appearance; they resembled highly paid professional PMCs that made a living via bounty hunting. As the years went by, these people had to make due with simple tactical vests, chest rigs and load bearing gear, because the military equipment they once had is too expensive. They also possessed simple civilian vehicles for transportation. Eventually, after having enough money, the Raptors were able to acquire more advanced equipment; by 2021, soldiers were seen wearing plain clothes, tactical clothing (tactical sweaters, olive colored or black BDU pants), upgraded armor, load bearing gear, concealed carry vests, earpieces, and in some cases sunglasses. Some even wore hockey masks as facial protection. By 2025, they were able to possess most state-of-the-art weapons, equipment, body armor as well as drones.

Their vehicle arsenal also increased, having grown to include unmarked UH-60 Blackhawk choppers, unmarked MRAPs and unmarked Humvees. Appearance-wise, they worse urban camouflage BDUs ballistic vests, balaclavas with sunglasses and a radio piece, as well as military grade ballistic helmets. Some were even able to acquire optical camouflage suits to better hide themselves in combat.

That being said, these soldiers were still no longer loyal to any nation, having been abandoned by Russia by accident following Russia's withdrawal from the Venezuelan Civil War. As of 2025, they are still soldiers with no country to call their own, fighting not out of patriotism, but simply to survive while in exile.
