Lanvorak Squad was a squad of Sith Jetpack Troopers of the Sith Eternal army among the forces of the Sith Eternal, a dark side Sith cult. The squad was active during the First Order-Resistance War until the Battle of Exegol in 35 ABY, which resulted in the entirety of the Sith Eternal being destroyed by the Resistance and citizens who rose up all over the galaxy to form the Citizens' Fleet. The squad was named after the lanvorak weapon.
Description
Lanvorak Squad consisted of ten Sith Jetpack Troopers (pictured).
Lanvorak Squad was an aerial infantry squad in the army of the dark side cult known as the Sith Eternal. The squad was based on the cult's[1] throneworld,[3] the Unknown Regions planet Exegol. Lanvorak Squad was made up of ten Sith Jetpack Troopers—a specialized variant of the cult's main soldier, the Sith trooper.[1]
Like every Sith Jetpack Trooper squad in the army, Lanvorak Squad's name honored an ancient, highly destructive dark side weapon[4]—the lanvorak. As it consisted of Sith Jetpack Troopers, the squad wore specialized crimson Sith trooper armor and was equipped with F-11ABA heavy blaster cannons and NJP-900 integrated jetpacks.[1]
History
Lanvorak Squad was active during the First Order-Resistance War[1] that took place between 34 ABY and 35 ABY. In 35 ABY,[2] the Sith Eternal was entirely obliterated when it fought an allied force consisting of the Resistance and the Citizens' Fleet, a fleet comprised of individuals who rose up from all over the galaxy, in the Battle of Exegol. During the battle, the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious, and all of his forces,[5] including Lanvorak Squad, were destroyed.[2]
