the VF-12 Knights have a long history within the Osean Maritime Defense Forces, starting with the units inception flying the TBM Avenger Torpedo Bomber as VT-12, before redesignating as Fighter Squadron 12 when they recieved the F-9 Cougar for conflicts in Southern Verusea. It wasn't long before the Knights found themselves as the first of the Last Gunfighters, operating the F-8 Crusader in successful raids against Yuktobanian and Valkan targets. A well established service history made the squadron one of the first to receive the brand-new F-14 Tomcat in the summer of 1972.
VF-12 along with their sister squadron VF-83 "Warhawks" would go on to serve during the 1977 Adama Uprising, the Knights would earn one Air to air victory in the conflict, shooting down a rebel F-14, and help support pro-Osean forces in the tense thirteen week standoff.
Since then, the Knights have forged a legacy of excellence and bravery with their Tomcats as their noble steeds.
