Affiliation Free Worlds League
Parent Command Free Worlds League Military

History[edit]

The 405th Aerospace Wing was one of the units assigned to defend Xi Ursae Majoris, also known as Alula Australis in 3009. The unit operated from a hidden and well secured base of operations. When the 19th Lyran Guards and Snord's Irregulars attacked the planet, the 405th Aerospace Wing cut off the Lyran units from their DropShips. Only a daring assault from Snord's Irregulars was able to dislodge them, though at that time, the 19th Lyran Guards had already routed the rest of Free Worlds League Military defenses.[1]

Nothing is known of what happened to the unit, but being a fighter unit it is expected that some of them could escape and the unit might have been returned to full strength.[citation needed]
