Campaign briefing
What Is Squadron 42?
Squadron 42 is the story-driven, first-person campaign set in the Star Citizen universe.
The call
A cinematic war story where you are the recruit
Squadron 42 puts you inside the United Empire of Earth Navy at a moment when every sortie matters. You are not watching the battle from a distance. You are walking the decks, climbing into the cockpit, taking orders, and fighting through missions where the next decision can change everything.
- A focused single-player campaign with cinematic missions and a clear story arc
- First-person immersion across cockpit combat, capital ships, interiors, and ground encounters
- A military sci-fi setting shaped by the UEE Navy, squadron life, and the Vanduul threat
In motion
Feel the scale before you enlist
Use this space for a trailer, gameplay capture, or cinematic montage that sells the feeling immediately: engines spooling, hangar doors opening, pilots launching, and a full-scale sci-fi conflict waiting beyond the deck.
01
Story
Your place in the war
This is the directed, cinematic side of the Star Citizen universe. Squadron 42 is built to pull you through a campaign of escalating missions, character moments, hard orders, and the pressure of proving yourself in uniform.
02
Service
Life aboard a Navy capital ship
Between missions, the fantasy is pure military sci-fi: a ship full of crew, command structure, briefings, hangar activity, and the constant sense that you are one pilot inside something much larger than yourself.
03
Combat
Launch, fight, survive
Squadron 42 blends high-intensity starship combat with first-person action. Dogfight through hostile space, move through dangerous environments, and experience missions designed to feel cinematic, urgent, and personal.

Eager to see more? Watch the official “I Held The Line” video from Cloud Imperium Games for a powerful look at the tone, scale, and cinematic feel of the Squadron 42 experience. Even though the trailer was released two years ago, it still delivers an impressive glimpse of the campaign’s atmosphere, and if it looked this good then, the final release has every reason to be even more exciting.
Enemy contact confirmed
The Vanduul Threat
They do not negotiate. They raid, harvest, and vanish back into deep space. The Vanduul are humanity’s most feared enemy in the Star Citizen universe — and in Squadron 42, they are the nightmare waiting beyond the front line.
Hostile intelligence
The enemy beyond the line
The Vanduul are not just another alien faction. They are a roaming, violent pressure on Human space: organized into warlike hordes, feared for sudden raids, and known for leaving entire systems broken in their wake.
Profile
Warlike hordes, no safe border
UEE intelligence describes Vanduul society through warrior-hordes rather than a familiar Human-style state. They fight other species, fight among themselves, and move through the frontier like a living invasion route.
- 01 Nomadic pressureTheir threat is not tied to one battlefield. Vanduul forces can strike, strip resources, and move on.
- 02 Alien doctrineTheir ships, tactics, language, and social structure do not map cleanly to Human military assumptions.
- 03 Frontier terrorHuman systems touched by the Vanduul become warnings: evacuations, ruined worlds, and permanent scars.
Threat rating
Extreme. Engage only under Navy command.
Fleet behavior
Fast ships. Brutal openings.
Vanduul fighters are built to unsettle Human pilots before the first shot lands. The Blade is known as a light fighter and skirmisher, often used for scouting, first-wave assaults, and attacks on communications or early warning systems. Against the Vanduul, speed is not style — it is doctrine.
What remains
Systems become warnings
The Caliban system shows what happens when the line breaks. Crion is described as a shattered skeleton of its former self, with Vanduul clans harvesting cities and land to rebuild their fleets. That is the scale of the threat Squadron 42 prepares you to face.
Your orders
Face the threat in Squadron 42
The Vanduul are the reason the Navy needs pilots who can hold the line. Secure your Squadron 42 package, prepare for the campaign, and step into the war story that puts humanity’s deadliest enemy directly in your sights.
