Welcome to the Sentinel Squadron homepage! Formed in 2007 during the second Rikti invasion, the Sentinel Squadron exists to defend Earth from any extraterrestrial threats... From outer space, alternate dimensions or elsewhere. In July of 2007 the skies over Paragon City filled with dark grey thunderheads. It was the same in the Rogue Isles, Europe, and across the globe. Small ships darted through the heavy weather … and there are so very many of them.
The Rikti had returned. Statesman, the Freedom Phalanx and the cities heroes at large rose to the challenge and engaged the Rikti in the streets. During the melee, Statesman called to Ballistic Man... "Ballistic! Form a squadron and secure the perimiter! Take out their sentinels! We'll hold the line here!" Ballistic Man quickly formed a core group out of available heroes and, per Statesmans instructions, led them in daring hit-and-run attacks against the Rikti flanks. As the day wore on, the Rikti wavered. Victory was secured. After the Rikti retreat, Stateman thanked Ballistic Man and his hand-picked team for their part in the defense of Earth. With Statesman's personal blessing, Ballistic Man organized his team into the Sentinel Squadron, so named for their part in the war. Today, the Sentinel Squadron continues to watch for signs of Rikti activity.... as well as monitoring all threats to Earth, be they inter-dimensional, extra-terrestrial or native.
