Because USS PHOENIX (NCC-2315) is a Fleet Action Coordination vessel, the 3rd
Special Operations Group (3SOG) has been placed aboard the ship. The 3rd SOG is a
special Marine Corps unit "The Cobras," developed to provide
PHOENIX with a highly versatile mix of fighter and transport craft in order to
accomplish a wide range of offensive and defensive missions. Ten Nagzul-class
"Cobra" fighters, 5 Highlander-class "Tartan"
bombers, and 2 Xanadu-class "Khan" assault transports make up
the 3rd SOG.
Nagzul-class light fighters have a crew of one: the Pilot. Highlander-class
heavy fighters have a Pilot and a Co-pilot/Weapons Officer; two additional
crewmembers can be accommodated. Xanadu-class assault transports have a
Pilot and a Co-pilot/Loadmaster, and can embark 30 additional personnel.
Every pilot is a Marine Corps Senior Lieutenant (SLT), which is equivalent to
a Starfleet Lieutenant. Every co-pilot is a Marine Corps First Lieutenant (1LT),
which is equivalent to a Starfleet Lieutenant (junior grade).
The craft’s radio call sign (e.g., Cobra) is listed for each.

Our ship has a call sign - in this case: “Firebird”.
		All communications to and from the ship use the call sign with one 
		exception: the Captain. When the captain herself is talking, she uses 
		the call sign: Firebird Actual. This indicates that the C.O. is 
		talking, not just any one.
