Ghost Squad

There are many squads within Pacifica, but none are like the Ghost Squads. Three different squads, namely Omega Ghosts, Delta Ghosts and Beta Ghosts, that work within different battalions of the New Pacific Order, united by core values like loyalty, courage, sense of duty, honor and last, but not least, camaraderie. These values are enshrined in the hearts of every Ghost.

The Ghosts
Teeters, the founder of the Ghosts, said in order to describe the Ghost Squad(s): We are a brotherhood of warriors out to fight for our beloved Order.

Ghost Squad Cumulative War Record

Since August 22, 2010 the cumulative wars for all three Ghost Squads stands at 327 as of June 1, 2011. Ranging from nuclear and non-nuclear rogue nations to the 299 wars collectively fought during the Doom House-NPO War against Mushroom Kingdom, Umbrella, GOONS, FAN and Nordreich.

The Ghost Squadron War Record is a comprehensive listing of every single nation that a member of the Ghost Squad has fought. It is currently under construction by Rogal Dorn.

Esprit de Corps
Each Pacifican wishes to serve and protect the New Pacific Order but not each Pacifican is able to bring the sacrifices, hold up the steadfastness and have the stamina to be a Ghost.

Ghosts Nation Pledge
This is my nation. There are many nations on Planet Bob but this one is mine.

My nation is my best friend. It is my cyberverse life. I must master my nation as my life within cyberverse.

''My nation, without me is useless. Without my nation, I am useless. I must show mine and my nation's true worth. I must use my nation more efficiently than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must make use of my soldiers and tanks, CMs, aircraft and nukes before he can use his. I will.''

My nation and myself know that what counts in any war is not the troops we deploy or rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that counts. We will hit.

Before the Emperor I swear this creed. My nation and myself are defenders of my alliance. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my cyberlife.

So be it, until victory is Pacifica’s and there is no enemy, but Peace.

Requirements to become a Ghost
What is a Ghost? Someone needn't be a fanatic in order to become one; being a dedicated Pacifican and being a man of strong convictions who is ready to work for the common good of the New Pacific Order is obligatory though. A Ghost must be nothing less than an epitome of the very best of Pacifica and he must do nothing less than epitomize Pacifica by performing every task faithfully and upright.

What does one need to become a Ghost? Members of the Ghosts have to meet certain requirements like to be capable of performing excellent work, being in possession of values like loyalty, courage, sense of duty and honor. Furthermore, Ghosts have to know and show the best definition of camaraderie. A Ghost should not just be living these values on a daily basis but being a paragon of them all the time. If the description, of what makes up the heart of a true Pacifican, should ever fall into oblivion, then historiographers and ethologists should study the behavior of a Ghost in order to reasearch what is the meaning of being a true Pacifican - that is the simple and nevertheless demanding requirement for becoming a member of the Ghosts.

What are the four Ghost principles?

Camaraderie: A Ghost always relies on their fellow Ghosts when facing the darkest hours of warfare. There is no place for phony heroes or the crazy brave within the Ghosts, solely for the best Pacificans, the cream of the crop so to say. Camaraderie isn't just a vague word for a Ghost; it's a principle that a Ghost will be the back-up for their fellow Ghosts and give their life for brothers and sisters when necessary.

Honor: Whatsoever Ghosts do, whatsoever Ghosts say, they have to keep in mind that they must bestow honor to Pacifica and bring honor to their Squad.

Loyalty: Loyalty is but one word for three attributes a Ghost has to embody. Loyalty to the Squad, loyalty to Pacifica, and loyalty to honor the Squad and Pacifica. A Ghost does neither need to demonstrate unconditional nor uncritical loyalty nor blind loyalty. Loyalty to the Squad and Pacifica will always pay for itself, thus Ghosts are heartily glad to do whatever loyalty demands them to.

Sense of Duty: A Ghost will always perform tasks to the very best of their abilities even if this has to mean that they would have to disadvantage or sacrifice themselves by making the attempt to perform a task.''

Why does a Ghost go to war?

A Ghost will never go to war on grounds of statutory duty, contractual obligation or bounden duty; of course, it is duty that calls but it is the firm and unchallengeable conviction that allows a Ghost to bear whatsoever might be necessary in order to defend their home Pacifica and their fellow brothers and sisters. Wars show where each one stands and how one really is; a Ghost never strives to be a hero but to perform his honorable and solemn duty putting their trust in his convictions as well as in the desire to win.

The Omega Battalion Ghosts
The origins of the Omega Ghost Squad go back to August 22, 2010 when Teeters had the intention to establish a new squad honoring the glorious tradition of former squads in the past. Animated with the desire to form such a squad, Teeters only approved of those applicants to the squad who called the right mentality and significant activity their own. Teeters himself stated that the Omega Squad takes the role of a mentor, however, this does not put them above each other. In its entirety, the squad has been unable to take on a conjoint target due to the differing nation strength ranges, however, members have taken on rogue targets independently. Ghosts who were not engaged in battle then assisted in the rebuilding of their fellow comrades.

Teeters also decided to keep in touch with another Squad of Pacifica, the Executor Squad, and came to an agreement with ChileRelleno to establish a mutual partnership with them. This partnership came into effect on September 5th, 2010.

Another important step was the circumstance that Rogal Dorn contacted Teeters asking for advice and support as he became a squad leader. The outcome of the conversations, which Teeters and Rogal had, was the foundation of the Delta Ghost Squad on October 28, 2010.

Beta Ghost Squad was planned on October 31, 2010 and Brucemna was designated Squad Leader of the Beta Ghosts. On November 6, 2010, the Beta Ghosts were formed. Brucemna himself said regarding his new position and being a part of the Ghost family:

AWESOME.. what can i say ..... well one thing to say.....lets start building it. Honored to be here.

On December 16, 2010, Wentworth informed Planet Bob on the OWF about his decision to leave both the NPO and CN. Many of his friends and comrades waved him goodbye and wished him the best of luck, hoping that he might return to them one day. His nation ceased to exist in mid-December.

On December 31, 2010, Straylight announced his resignation from the New Pacific Order. He was wished the best luck for his future endeavors by many Pacificans as he joined the New Sith Order.

Omega Ghost Squad Leadership
the following is an interview on Teeters conducted and written by Caius Alexandrian on April 23, 2011

As for my greatest moment... I'd say the opportunity to assist other Ghosts. I've aided and battled with my brethren. That is a great moment..

Teeters is the squad leader of the Omega Ghosts. Being part of Planet Bob, Teeters is a person that can call a vivid past his own. Highly recognized and appreciated as a Pacifican, including service in some of Pacifica's most important departments like Field Agent of Intel and Colonel within MilCom, he decided to resign from being a Pacifican on February 7, 2009. After he applied anew and was approved of by the Academy, he resigned after a short while anew. Due to this lively past, his third application, taking place on August 13, aroused tremendous public interest. After one of the longest and most intense application processes of the entire Pacifican history, Teeters application was approved of by JesseEnd on August 19, 2010. Teeters knows to appreciate Pacifica as he got to know other places on Planet Bob as well in order to find out that the NPO is his place to remain and live at. Teeters about his duty as Squad Leader and his Squad:

1) What is it like to be a Squad Leader? What makes up the heart of a good Squad Leader?

Being a squad leader is not a position of authority. Simply put, it is somebody who takes the initiative to organize a group of friends together in order to establish a line of support and camaraderie for one another. As to what makes up the heart of a good squad leader I would say that it is someone who always does their best to ensure that his squad mates are in good standing. Both within the Order and in overall morale. A squad leader must lead by example and make sacrifices if necessary for the best interest of the squad.

2) If someone asked you what the Ghosts mean to you, what would you reply?

Friendship. I am closer to the members of the Ghost Squad than anyone else in the Order. It's true we are loyal to the Order and to each other.

3) What is so special about the Ghosts, what is different in comparison to other Squads within Pacifica?

I think that it is the effort every Ghost puts into it. For instance I was away for quite sometime due to RL reasons, yet the squads pushed forward and continued on. The Ghosts legacy is not one of an individual or an individual squad. It is the bond that we all have and the desire we all have in order to make the squads a success.

4) What has been your greatest moment within this war ever since you are a Ghost and what has been your darkest hour?

I don't think that I've had a dark hour. As for my greatest moment... I'd say the opportunity to assist other Ghosts. I've aided and battled with my brethren. That is a great moment.

5) What is the most essential value for a Ghost and why?

Loyalty. Loyalty to the Order is paramount in order for you to be considered a Ghost. Once accepted, you must be loyal to your fellow Ghost as well. Order > Ghost > An Individual.

The Delta Battalion Ghosts
The Delta Battalion Ghost Squad was originally formed in Gamma Battalion and it was created October 28, 2010. Days beforehand, Rogal Dorn had been in communication with his old squad-mates from Fearless Chickens Squad, AngelRick and Degree, discussing forming a new squad together. Then Rogal Dorn sent a private message to Teeters, telling him about their intention to form a new squad and asked permission to use aspects of the Omega Ghost Squad for structuring this new squad. Teeters replied to Rogal's private message stating he had "...been thinking of having the Omega Ghosts "sponsor" a younger group of Pacificans and helping them along with squad and growth development." Rogal loved the idea and proposed it to AngelRick and Degree who wholeheartedly agreed with him therein.

Rogal then asked his closest comrade, Caius Alexandrian, to join the Squad. Caius asked for some time to consider it due to an event which occurred between former Fearless Chickens leader Jamsoolee and Caius. This had left a bad impression of squads in general in Caius' mind. After several days of consideration and many conversations with Rogal, Caius was well disposed towards the suggestion and agreed to join the Squad, serving under Rogal who is his Squad Leader.

After a few details were hammered out, Teeters made a public announcement on the NPO forums stating "I can not think of a better group of Pacificans to join the Ghost ranks. Congratulations, and do us proud!" The announcement was well received in Pacifica, receiving many positive responses. The following quotes are excerpts from Teeters' announcement declaring their existence on October 28, 2010.

Great squad. I look forward to seeing a lot out of you guys.

I hope the Gamma squad proves itself just as well as you guys have in Omega!

Nice to have you guys o/ All of you are prime young talent in the NPO, do us proud!

Kalanyr joined the squad the day after the public announcement was made. Within the first month of Delta Ghosts existence the members had already taken part in 5 wars (Rogal in 3, AngelRick in 1, Kalanyr in 1)! When asked to give a comment on their squad AngelRick declared:

This has been my favorite squad by far, not only because of its activity, but also because of the level of camaraderie and respect we have for each other. Woe to anyone that messes with the Ghost Squad.

Kalanyr joined the squad the day after the public announcement was made. Within the first month of Delta Ghosts existence the members had already taken part in 5 wars! (Rogal with 3, AngelRick and Kalanyr were both involved in 1)

In December 2010, Kalanyr was removed from the Ghost Squad for treasonable conduct. On January 21st Alzeid was inducted as a new member of the Delta Ghost Squad, just days prior to the outbreak of the Doom House-NPO War. After the war, Dany2j became the newest member of the squad.

Delta Ghost Squad Leadership
the following is an interview on Rogal Dorn conducted and written by Caius Alexandrian on March 21, 2011

The Ghosts are the best damn squad in Pacifica!

Rogal Dorn is the squad leader of the Delta Ghosts. Very well known for being one of the most active, dedicated and faithful Pacificans, he doesn't just work for several notable departments of the New Pacific Order including Diplo, MilCom, Intel and the Praetorian Guard, he also takes care of the Delta Ghosts. Leading a squad alongside his other demanding duties for Pacifica isn't just another solemn and honorable duty but one Rogal performs with pleasure. Rogal about his duty as Squad Leader and his Squad:

1) What is it like to be a Squad Leader? What makes up the heart of a good Squad Leader?

It's more work than one would think, but there's not the freedom you wish you could have with it. The amount of work you put in is all dependant on the person. Half the things I do I don't "have" to but I want to do them.

2) If someone asked you what the Ghosts mean to you, what would you reply?

The best damn squad in Pacifica!

3) What is so special about the Ghosts, what is different in comparison to other Squads within Pacifica?

We're all pretty active in Pacifica, in all aspects, and it shows when you look at the members' wiki pages!

4) What has been your greatest moment within this war ever since you are a Ghost and what has been your darkest hour?

The darkest hour was finding out about Kalanyr and despising him for ever being able to have the honor to call himself a Ghost. The greatest moment has been seeing all of us Ghosts take it to the enemy with a combined 150 wars between all 3 squads and seeing the Delta Ghosts lead the charge with 62 of those, working together with Ghosts to bring down enemies of the Order.

5) What is the most essential value for a Ghost and why?

Loyalty to Pacifica through and through.

Delta Squad's War Record
To date the Delta Ghosts have fought 122 wars together against numerous opponents, ranging from MK, Umbrella, GOONS, FAN and NoR nations in the Doom House-NPO War to both nuclear and non nuclear rogue nations who try to harm Pacifica.

Current members
 * Rogal - 49 wars
 * AngelRick - 22 wars
 * Caius - 21 wars

 * Kalanyr - 1 war

The Beta Battalion Ghosts
The Beta Battalion Ghost Squad was originally formed in Alpha Battalion and it was created on November 6, 2010 although the plannings and considerations can be dated back to October 30, 2010. Teeters and Brucemna had been discussing the possibility to form a new squad with the lower Battalions of Pacifica's war machine and came to an agreement to found this new squad and Brucemna did not hesitate.

Brucemna, knowing about Ghost Squad and the senior members said "it was a honor to be asked with this task." He then began the search for finding squad comrades who would be both active and eager to represent the Ghost Squad in a manner that his future brethren would be proud of. His task turned out to be a easy one as the younger members who he approached eagerly accepted the invitation to join, very well aware of the history and dedication of the senior members.

In the announcement declaring the young squad's existence, Beta's roster included Brucemna, Lagginator, Nova Rune and Digsbe. Here's some select quotes from the Announcement on November 6, 2010, declaring the existence of the youngest Ghost Squad.

Oh lawd. This is some wicked

There is no stopping the Ghosts

Next stop, the world!

And finally, a quote by Teeters which the youngins have be striving for:

Im eager to see what this fine group of young Pacificans can do. Congratulations, and do us proud!

Not soon after the announcement was made that Liberated Christian and Homedawg68 joined the squad and Tamar was removed. On the eve of the DH-NPO War King Steve became a member of the Squad. During the DH-NPO War 3 Beta Ghosts nations were deleted due to RL matters. After the war Vellocet joined the Beta Squad where he'll make a fine addition!

Beta Ghost Squad Leadership
The following is an interview on Brucemna conducted and written by Caius Alexandrian on March 22, 2011.

That most essential value I take pride having in our squad is that we are all equally the same and no one is considered different than the next comrade standing next to the others.

Brucemna is the Squad Leader of the Beta Ghosts. Working in Pacifica's departments like Tech Corps, MilCom, Recruiting Corps and the Diplomatic Corps with abandon and passion for detail, he furthermore oversees the Beta Ghosts. Being leader of a squad alongside the other duties he performs for Pacifica is something he truly enjoys. Brucemna regarding his duty as Squad Leader and his Squad:

1) What is it like to be a Squad Leader? What makes up the heart of a good Squad Leader?

Being a Squad leader is a fun and enjoyable experience. To be a good Squad leader one must have the patience and desire to be able to guide and supply the knowledge and experience they may have sacrificing a lot of you time to bring out the best in a Squad not thinking of our own needs..

2) If someone asked you what the Ghosts mean to you, what would you reply?

The Alpha/Beta Ghosts to me mean a group of collegues who have the same desires to be successful and to have the camaraderie that is needed in tough times of war. We work quite not only to do what our military or nation needs, but to represent the NPO as a unit in our own departments to help the Alliance we love not just for our own needs but for our fellow Pacifians.

3) What is so special about the Ghosts, what is different in comparison to other Squads within Pacifica?

The Ghosts are special due to the fact we are not limited to our battalion but the Ghosts cover every battalion making us the largest squad not only in Pacifica but maybe the entire planet, not including actual military battalions.

4) What has been your greatest moment within this war ever since you are a Ghost and what has been your darkest hour?

This wars greatest moments is the Ghosts being there and standing proud for Pacifica but as war is always a thing of casualty as well, we have lost members likewise which would be considered the darkest hour due to losing any comrade is never an accepetable thing.

5) What is the most essential value for a Ghost and why?

That most essential value I take pride having in our squad is that we are all equally the same and no one is considered different than the next comrade standing next to the others.
