The First Skyhawks are the premier Squadron of the Chesterton Skyhawks air defense force. James "Jimmy" Phillip Chesterton III, second son of founder James Chesterton currently leads this squadron. He inherited the job after his older brother, James Phillip Chesterton II died in a pirate attack. As the premier unit of the Skyhawks, First Squadron always gets the best equipment and maintenance.

The Second Skyhawks are the other regular Chesterton unit. Considered second rate, this is more a point of their "common" upbringing than anything else.
