Gargoyle Squadron, officially Fighter Squadron 616, is an Osean Maritime Defense Force squadron assigned to the International Union Peace Keeping Force. The Squadron saw deployment in the Lighthouse War, notably during Operations Dual Wielder as well as Operation Lighthouse Keeper.
During Operation Lighthouse Keeper, the squadron was under secret orders by the IUN to destroy the International Space Elevator. While their fellow Squadrons Golem (VFA-506) and Mage (508th TFS) were escorting the former president, Vincent Harling, away from the battle space. Gargoyle Squadron fired missiles at the space elevator. Almost all of them were intercepted by MQ-101s, thinning out their numbers, though one missile did hit the space elevator and cause minimal damage. Gargoyle continued to maintain air superiority during the rest of the operation. After the death of Osean Former President Vincent Harling and the arrival of Arsenal Bird Liberty, Gargoyle exfiltrated the combat zone.
