The 21st Alpha Tactical Armored Corps (A.T.A.C.) Squadron is a hovertank squadron originally assigned to ASC Dundee Base in northern Australia. The squadron was considered a "last chance" for hovertank pilots with less than reputable military records. Talented but troubled pilots, with black marks, spotty service records, or who had enemies of the wrong people were the mainstay of the 21st. After seeing extensive action during some of the most difficult and pivotal campaigns of the New World Order conflict (a.k.a. World War IV) and the Second Robotech War the Blackjacks went from being the black sheeps of the Alpha Tactical Armored Corps to one of the most legendary and decorated squadrons in the Southern Cross.
This is the squadron line-up as of 2032. The 21st ATAC is currently operating aboard the Daedalus class submersible mecha carrier SLV Ulysses.
By the end of the global recon mission of the Ulysses in late 2032, the 21st had picked up a few new members, a new recruit and three veteran mecha pilots.
The following members of the 21st ATAC have given their lives in the line of duty. A monument to the fallen was placed near the ruins of Dundee Base in early 2032.
The following members of the 21st moved on to other assignments or otherwise left the squadron.
