The 810th Squadron was a United Nations Cosmo Force fighter squadron of the Homeland Air Defense Corps' Far-East District Air Defense Force[2] under Space Defense Command. It was commanded by Lieutenant Junior Grade Saburo Kato and saw action during the Great Garmillas War. The 810th Squadron was deployed on February 9, 2199,[3] to fend off a Garmillas air raid at an underground shipbuilding facility at Cape Bonomisaki, Japan.[4][5][1]
Fighters[]
- 1 model 51[6] Type-0 Cosmo Zero[1]
- At least 3 Type-99 Cosmo Falcons[1]
Notes[]
- The Japanese word "航空団, Koku-dan" more accurately translates to "Air Wing" rather than "Squadron". However the abbreviation SQ is seen on the back of Kato's bomber jacket.[1]
