Based upon the archaic organization of fightercraft, squadrons refer to organizations of multiple craft capable of flight within Nepleslia. Throughout the Nepleslian Star Navy, the squadron formation is used at all levels from fightercraft to battleships.

Squadrons can consist of anywhere between six to twelve (6-12) craft of similar-sized ships; although primarily used for coordination warships, the formation sees use by Central Corps and Nepleslian-originated fleets. The exact number and composition of a Squadron can be changed based upon its purpose or however best to coordinate within their assigned fleets/roles.

As an exception, a Squadron can be “heavy-loaded” when utilizing fighters; this formation bolsters the maximum from twelve to a max count of thirty-six (36), tripling organized combat power or utilizing additional drone-based craft to supplement the formation. Squadrons are primarily led by Commanders or – more rarely – Captains, generally answering directly to their maiden ship's primary officer or directly to the fleet's Admiral depending upon their importance in an operation.
