The Salamanders Squadron (サラマンダーズ隊 Saramandāzu tai; aka "The Salamanders"?)[1] was a Principality of Zeon mobile suit unit featured in Mobile Suit Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance. They piloted MS-06F Zaku II F Types.
History[]
The Salamanders Squadron was under the command of Zeon's 7th Mobile Suit Battalion, along with fellow Red Wolf Squadron. Together they supported various Zeon offensives against the Federal Forces. Four units of F Type Zaku IIs were assigned to the Salamanders.[1]
On November 6, U.C. 0079, the Salamanders and Red Wolves were deployed via airdrop to rescue the Stein Battalion that was ambushed by a E.F.F armored force defending the Cluj-Napoca military base, and subsequently assisted the Stein Battalion in capturing it.[1] On early morning of November 7, U.C. 0079, the Salamanders and the Red Wolves sortied to defend the base from a EFF surprise raid, where they encountered the RX-78(G)E Gundam EX for the first time. The Red Wolves' Zakus proved no match for the Gundam's superior mobility, tough armor and devastating firepower, leading to the deaths of Red Wolf pilots Reid Ghelfi (Chubs) and Kale Zavaleta, and destroying all four of the Red Wolf's mobile suits. The remaining Salamanders fought on valiantly, but eventually succumbed to Gundam EX's supreme firepower and the entire Salamanders Squadron was annihilated.[2]
