They were caught off-guard by Sicario's Hitman Team leader Monarch (the "Crown" HVT), who somehow managed to heavily damage one of their members and forced them to give up the pursuit. ĭespite arriving too late to save the refinery, they were successful in chasing off the mercenaries. After arriving, they first saw combat during Operation Flash Hazard, where they were deployed to the Apodock Fracture to halt an attack by mercenary pilots on the cordium refinery there. HistoryĬrimson Team was out of country when the war started, only arriving a few days after the Fall of Presidia. In the early stages of the Cascadian Conflict, they flew in parade colors to show off against their ostensibly inferior adversaries, but as the war turned against the Federation, they gradually ditched those colors before finally adopting military camo in their final battle. They typically flew in eight-plane flights of an equal amount of VX-23s and Sk.37 Decimator-Bs the latter aircraft were flown by Crimson's older members.

They were brutal and merciless in combat, a reflection of their expected pure loyalty to the Federation. Crimson Team, even among their fellow Peacekeepers, was considered the best of the best.
