The '''Purple Talons''' (officially designated ''Provence Three'' or ''PT Squadron'') were a unit active during [[Troverth Great War|Troverth's Great War]]. Initially part of the [[Lufen]] Auxiliary Forces, the squadron consisted of volunteers escaping from the city of [[Tensong]] after its alignment with the [[Troverth Dynasty|Troverthan invaders]]; it would eventually be integrated into the greater [[Emerald League|Emerald League's]] air section. Flying what was essentially little more than surplus farming equipment, their mission primarily involved night time harassment bombing of enemy troops or very occasionally close air support for ground forces.

The squadron consisted of three combat sections – each running three active aircraft – as well as a training section.

Throughout the conflict they often faced suspicion and were treated as an afterthought, despite proving themselves time and time again.

At the squadron’s formation it consisted of approximately 35 assorted pilots and navigators, ground crew, and administrative staff, all citizens of Tensong. It was led by Sqn Ldr Dalia Yee, alongside her Deputy Commander Flt Lt Yoshe Nobo and Lead Navigator Flt Lt Tessa Heloy.

Yee and Nobo were in command of Section A and B of the squadron respectively. “C Section” was initially led by Flt Lt Guntarch, though following his death command was passed to the less-than-willing [[Peggy Lee|Pilot Officer Peggy Lee]] (with heavy support from [[Phoebe Strigidae|Sgt Phoebe Strigidae]])

The squadron's ground crew consisted of a clutch of mechanics and several specialised refitters, all under the watch of Lead Mechanic Archie Magis. A Supply Sergeant and their assistant were in charge of attempting to requisition constant munitions and equipment, though many in the squadron had to resort to more imaginative means of procuring what they needed.
