Euclid

SLL

Euclid is a GZRA extremist cell. Formed sometime during the Solar Civil War, it continued to operate even after the Bydo Empire once again became a active threat to humanity. While underequipped compared to the EAAF and GZRA forces, a good amount of their pilots were well trained and knew how to effectively use their specific fighters in combat.

At some point in 2180, the organisation attempted to attack Bestra Station in orbit around Uranus. The goal of the mission was to expose the attempts to create Bydo Fighters for use by the EAAF, thus rallying the rest of humanity against them. However, while the squad assigned to the mission were successful in destroying the airlock to the main section of the station, the mission overall was a failure. Not only did it turn out that the B-Series Fighter projects had all been scrapped, but the pilot who managed to enter the base was captured after leaving by GZRA forces and was later forced into a Penal Unit.
To make matter worse, during the Coalition Operation Exploding Face the Bydo Empire would finally enact "The Push". While their dreadnought fleet was blocked from attacking the Giant Planets and their colonies by the intervention of the Shadow Armada, the fallout of the battle in the Kuiper Belt would lead to the destruction of most of Euclid's ranks and their home base Eris.
While some parts of the group would survived (such as Gamma, Epsilon and Theta Units which would end up defending Bestra from a Bydo assault and then go on to form the GET splinter cell), Euclid overall was all but dead.

#### Goals:

As a GZRA faction, Euclid was opposed to the use of Bydo weaponry of any kind (including Forces) by humanity. This of course put them at odds with the EAAF. However, as they mainly operated at the fringes of the Solar System (even going beyond the Kuiper Belt region), information regarding the current situation of the Human-Bydo war was scarce. The near-isolation from the rest of humanity also made them very fanatical, nearly even cult-like.

#### Units:

Euclid's military was made up of 24 combat units. While most of them were poorly trained and low in numbers, a handful were capable of matching some of the Coalition's best pilots.

List of Units:

1. **Alpha Unit**: Elite squadron. Jack of all trades, master of all. Only Euclid unit to control a cruiser, that being a Garum class. [Fate unknown. Rumoured that they managed to escape and regroup with a few other surviving units]
2. **Beta Unit**: Prime defence squadron. It's their duty to protect the key territory of Euclid. [Destroyed defending Eris from the Bydo]
3. **Gamma Unit**: Prime assault squadron. Specialized in head-on strikes at the enemy. Operate a Nostrand class destroyer/carrier hybrid. [Part of Coalition-friendly splinter cell. In another universe defending *Evergreen* colony ship]
4. **Delta Unit**: Interior strike flight. Excel in attacks within spaceborne structures, such as stations, colonies and military bases. Operate Hresvelgr class destroyer/carrier hybrid. [Fate unknown]
5. **Epsilon Unit**: Long range attack flight. Use a mix of photon-belt beam weaponry and missiles to wreck havoc on far away targets. Either perform hit-and-run attacks on their own or provide fire support for other units during larger scale battles. [Part of Coalition-friendly splinter cell. In another universe defending *Evergreen* colony ship]
6. **Zeta Unit**: Short range combat flight. A classic-style fighter unit. Some of the pilots are even ex-Granzella aces. [Destroyed fighting the Bydo, but rumours exist suggesting that a fragment of Zeta survived and rendezvoused with other Euclid elements]
7. **Eta Unit**: Close quarters combat flight. Get right up in the face of hostiles to deal crippling blows. Mainly utilise bipedal units in conjunction with shield fighters. [Destroyed after trying to fight the Bydo in the Kuiper Belt]
8. **Theta Unit**: Infiltration team. Go one step beyond simple hit and run attacks and breach enemy territory without anyone knowing until its too late. Operate two mini-carriers. [Part of Coalition-friendly splinter cell. In another universe defending *Evergreen* colony ship]
	* Theta-1/Mr. Axelsson (M): Group leader. Pilots [CLASSIFIED]
	* Theta-2/Artyom Midas (M): 2IC and attack infiltrator. Pilots TL-3NC Narcissus Custom.
	* Theta-3/Lucas Levi Spencer (M): Long term spy. Successfully infiltrated the EAAF as Lt. Spencer. Pilots RX-10 Albatross.
	* Theta-4 (F): ECM/jammer. Ironically quite bloodthirsty for her role. Pilots R-9ER Powered Silence.
	* Theta-5 (M): Scout/recon. Pilots R-9E2 Owl Light.
	* Theta-SP: Cyber Nova supply drone.
9. **Iota Unit**: Scouting team. Map out enemy assets to enable other units to carry out more efficient attacks. [Destroyed during the initial phases of "The Push"]
10. **Kappa Unit**: Clean-up crew. Responsible for the clearing of Bydo infestation of potential new territory. This task is achieved through the vigorous use of flame-based fighters. [Fate Unknown. Rumoured to be holding out in a space station]
11. **Lambda Unit**: Urban warfare team. Trained in the art of surface attacks for both moons and planetoids. Due to the covert nature of Euclid's operations and their vast distance from any EAAF installations, this unit has never seen combat. [Fate unknown. Rumoured that they met up with Alpha unit]
12. **Mu Unit**: Reserve attack flight. Backup fighters that aren't too skilled, but can still be dangerous...maybe. [Destroyed]
13. **Nu Unit**: Reserve attack flight. [Fate unknown]
14. **Xi Unit**: Reserve attack flight. [Destroyed]
15. **Omicron Unit**: Reserve defence flight. Backup fighters that make sure Euclid structures/facilities remember safe. [Destroyed]
16. **Pi Unit**: Reserve defence flight. [Destroyed]
17. **Rho Unit**: Reserve defence flight. [Destroyed]
18. **Sigma Unit**: Reserve defence flight. [Fate unknown]
19. **Tau Unit**: Undedicated flight. Can be used for anything...but most likely won't be any good at it. [Destroyed]
20. **Upsilon Unit**: Undedicated flight. [Fate unknown]
21. **Phi Unit**: Repair flight. Auxiliary team. Ensure that other craft don't fall apart after taking too much of a beating. [Fate unknown]
22. **Chi Unit**: Construction team. If sufficient materials are obtained then they can build new structures via the Base Construction System. [Fate unknown. Rumoured to of survived and regrouped with Alpha unit]
23. **Psi Unit**: Construction team. [Destroyed]
24. **Omega Unit**: Very little is known about this part of the Euclid fleet. Some say it's yet another poorly trained grunt unit that wouldn't even service as cannon fodder. But others claim the exact opposite, that being Omega is in reality Euclid's elite black ops squadron with its collective skill level being on par or even eclipsing Alpha unit's. [Fate unknown]
