Ten Dreadnoughts who used to be part of the same Tactical Squad, still fighting together.

Vegetable squad

Yes I love this.  I did something a little bit like this in a fanfic once, though that was ‘only’ a pair of former squadmates.

I want a squad of dreadnoughts that, instead of going to sleep between missions just hang out and bicker like the three old men from Cowboy Bebop.

“You remember that drop onto Chondar II?”
“Second one or third one?”
“Second.”
“Of course I remember that mess, who could forget?  What was that asshole’s name, the one with thirty-two ‘simulated’ combat drops?”
“Oh, that guy was a piece of work.  He’s second captain now, I think.”
“Of course.  They’ll let anyone run a company these days, I swear.”
“I miss the drop y’know, piloting through enemy fire in the old thunderhawk like we used to!”
“You never flew a thunderhawk you old fool, the biggest thing they ever let you drive was a landspeeder!”
“Oh, is that right?”

Hell I’d read it.
